Specifically, the hinge shaft 113 may include a coupling sleeve 1131, a first shaft core 1132, and a second shaft core 1133. The coupling sleeve 1131 may be made of an insulating material similar to the flexible carrier 111, and may be formed in one step by a mold, or may be bonded to the flexible carrier 111.

According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the device host 10 includes a signal processing circuit;
the flexible electronic braid is electrically connected with the signal processing circuit for controlling the device host 10 according to the type of the operation action.
Optionally, in an implementation manner, the device host 10 of the wearable device in the embodiment of the present application includes a signal processing circuit, and the signal processing circuit is integrated on a circuit board of the device host 10, and may be integrated in one chip, or a plurality of different chip combinations may implement a signal processing function. The signal processing circuit may control the device host 10 according to the type of operation action.
As illustrated in fig. 3 to 5, the operation action of the user in the manipulation area 112 may be different operation types such as clicking, pressing, sliding and the like. In fig. 3, when the user clicks or presses the manipulation area 112 for a plurality of times, the signal processing circuit may control the device host 10 to enter the menu interface according to the action. In fig. 4 and 5, when the user slides to the right or downward in the manipulation area 112, the signal processing circuit may control the device host 10 to enter selection of a corresponding application program according to the action.

Alternatively, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the signal processing circuit may include a signal amplifier 12, a comparator 13, and a processor 14. Because the electrical signal output by the flexible electronic fabric is weak, the signal needs to be amplified by connecting the signal amplifier 12 to accurately identify the action type, thereby avoiding misjudgment. Comparator 13 may convert the analog signal from signal amplifier 12 to a digital signal for processing by processor 14. The processor 14 can identify and determine the type of the operation action according to the duty ratio, the number of pulses, the duration and the like of the digital signal. Of course, the processor 14 may also be used to record and analyze the operation habits of the user to form an operation action database of the user, so as to more accurately identify and judge the operation behaviors of the user.
Exemplarily, fig. 7 shows an example of a capacitance value of a flexible electronic braid, a total capacitance value C of the flexible electronic braid0Four capacitors C connected in parallel1、C2、C3And C4And (4) summing. As shown in fig. 8, when the operation action is pressing, the total capacity value becomes C0'. When the operation action is sliding from left to right, the total capacity value is represented by C as shown in FIG. 90"to C0". Thus, in one embodiment, the type of operational action may be identified by the size, direction, and duration of the flexible electro-woven capacitor: 1) the user releases the capacitance from C after long pressing in the control area 1120Is changed into C0' recovery to C after a prolonged period of time0(ii) a 2) When the user slides from left to right in the manipulation area 112, the capacitance is represented by C0Is changed into C0"become C again0"' then returns to C0(ii) a 3) When the user slides from right to left in the manipulation area 112, the capacitance is increased by C0Is changed into C0"' is again changed to C0Then returns to C0. The principle of other judgment methods for action types is the same, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the signal processing circuit includes an impedance detection circuit 15;
the impedance detection circuit 15 is connected between the flexible electronic braid and the processor 14, and the processor 14 controls to open a signal transmission path between the flexible electronic braid and the processor 14 when the impedance of the flexible electronic braid is less than a preset threshold value.
Alternatively, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 6, in order to improve the reliability and life of the wearable device, in addition to adding a seal at the hinge connection, the wearable device is waterproof by purely physical sealing. An impedance detection circuit 15 may also be added between the flexible electronic braid and the processor 14. The impedance detection circuit 15 is used for detecting the impedance value of the flexible electronic braided fabric, when the flexible electronic braided fabric is immersed in water, the impedance value of the flexible electronic braided fabric is reduced, if the impedance value is smaller than a preset threshold value, the short circuit risk can be judged to be high, and after the processor 14 receives a signal that the impedance value is smaller than the preset threshold value, the signal transmission path between the flexible electronic braided fabric and the processor 14 can be controlled to be disconnected, for example, the power supply of a power supply is disconnected, so that the damage to the equipment host 10 is avoided.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, the connection assembly 11 includes two sections of the flexible carriers 111, the two sections of the flexible carriers 111 are respectively connected with the device host 10, and the two sections of the flexible carriers 111 are provided with matching structures connected to each other;
in the case where the two pieces of the flexible carrier 111 are connected, the two pieces of the flexible carrier 111 and the device body 10 form a closed loop.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 10, for a wearable device like a smart watch, two segments of flexible carriers 111 may be provided, and the two segments of flexible carriers 111 may be connected by a matching structure such as a buckle or a magnetic buckle. When in the connected state, the two segments of flexible carriers 111 and the device main unit 10 form a closed loop shape and can be wound around the wrist. It will be appreciated that in this wearable device, each segment of flexible carrier 111 is provided with at least one steering region 112. Therefore, the two flexible carriers 111 can provide at least two control areas 112 at different positions, and the control of the device host 10 can be realized through the combined action of the control areas 112 at different positions, which not only helps to avoid mistaken touch, improves control accuracy, but also enriches control functions.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the manipulation area 112 is provided with a manipulation indicator, and the manipulation indicator is used for directing the range of the operation action.
Optionally, in an embodiment, in order to reduce the difficulty of the user in blind operation, an operation identifier may be further set in the operation region 102 through a process such as screen printing, and the operation identifier may indicate the area size and the region range in which the flexible electronic knitted fabric is arranged to the user, so as to help guide the range of the operation action and improve the operation efficiency.
Other configurations of wearable devices according to embodiments of the present invention, such as smartwatches, smartbands, heart rate bands, etc., are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
With reference to fig. 11, an embodiment of the present application further provides a control method for a wearable device, where the control method is used for the wearable device according to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, and the control method includes the following steps:
s201, monitoring the capacitance value of each region of the flexible electronic braided fabric.
Specifically, according to the physical properties of the flexible electronic knitted fabric, when a user has various different operation behaviors such as sliding, touching, long pressing, short pressing, clicking and the like on the surface of the flexible electronic knitted fabric, the capacitance of the operated area may be caused to change. Thus, the capacitance values of various regions of the flexible electronic braid may be monitored to determine which type of operational behavior the user is performing in which region.
S202, acquiring the change rule and the duration of the capacitance value, and judging the type of the operation behavior of the user.
Specifically, different operation behaviors of the user correspond to different motion states and durations, and the different motion states and durations correspondingly cause the capacitance value to change according to corresponding change rules and durations. Therefore, the specific type of the user operation behavior can be judged by acquiring the change rule and the duration of the capacitance value.
Exemplarily, fig. 7 shows an example of a capacitance value of a flexible electronic braid, a total capacitance value C of the flexible electronic braid0Four capacitors C connected in parallel1、C2、C3And C4And (4) summing. As shown in fig. 8, when the operation action is pressing, the total capacity value becomes C0'. When the operation action is sliding from left to right, the total capacity value is represented by C as shown in FIG. 90"to C0". Thus, the type of operating action can be identified by the size, change in direction and duration of the flexible electro-woven capacitor: 1) the user releases the capacitance from C after long pressing in the control area 1120Is changed into C0' recovery to C after a prolonged period of time0(ii) a 2) When the user slides from left to right in the manipulation area 112, the capacitance is represented by C0Is changed into C0"become C again0"' then returns to C0(ii) a 3) When the user slides from right to left in the manipulation area 112, the capacitance is increased by C0Is changed into C0"' is again changed to C0Then returns to C0. The principle of the determination of other action types is the same, and the description is omitted here.
Therefore, the specific type of the operation behavior of the user, such as long press, short press, click and the like, can be accurately judged according to the change rule and the duration of the capacitance value, so that the corresponding touch function can be triggered.
S203, controlling the equipment host according to the type of the operation behavior.
The richer the types of user operation behaviors, the more the control functions can be realized. In the software program, corresponding functions can be configured in advance for each operation behavior respectively, so that various control functions are realized, and therefore when the wearable device identifies a specific certain type of operation behavior, the function is triggered.
As illustrated in fig. 3 to 5, the operation action of the user in the manipulation area 112 may be different operation types such as clicking, pressing, sliding and the like. In fig. 3, when the user clicks or presses the manipulation area 112 for a plurality of times, the signal processing circuit may control the device host 10 to enter the menu interface according to the action. In fig. 4 and 5, when the user slides to the right or downward in the manipulation area 112, the signal processing circuit may control the device host 10 to enter selection of a corresponding application program according to the operation behavior.
Therefore, through set up flexible electron knitting in the control region at wearable equipment in this application embodiment, can save the inside space of equipment host computer, and help promoting sealing performance, in addition, still be favorable to realizing the planarization on outward appearance surface, promote and use the travelling comfort. Moreover, by means of the working mechanism of the flexible electronic fabric, various different types of operation behaviors can be recognized, and various different control functions of the wearable device can be realized.
