DESCRIPTION

MULTIFUNCTION WATCH

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a multifunction watch, especially suitable for the assistance of the elderly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, there are some multifunction smart watches (smartwatches), which comprise a graphic display and control electronics to display various information in addition to the time on said display. In our day to day we see many of these multifunction smart watches (smartwatches) of all kinds, most of them to monitor sports activities, receive notifications that come to smartphones or even make voice calls through them.

However, clocks are not known to the applicant, with functionalities that can be useful for easy use by older people and assistance. This drawback is solved with the use of the multifunction watch of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The multifunction watch of the invention is of the type that includes a graphic display, a battery and control electronics to display various information on the screen, in addition to the time, and according to the invention, it includes, in its most basic variant of embodiment :

-a communications module,

-a microphone and speaker associated with the communications module to allow a conversation to be held through it, and

-an emergency button associated with the control electronics and the communications module to make an immediate call to a pre-programmed number (telecare, infirmary in case of hospitalization, etc.) in case of pressing.

In this way, in addition to showing the information related to the time and other typical functions of this type of watch, it works as an emergency warning device, such that if the user has any problem, a fall with an impediment to getting up, disorientation, etc. , you can simply press the emergency button and you will be put in communication with an interlocutor who can assist you.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The multifunctional watch (1) of the invention is of the type that includes a graphic display (2), a battery (17) and control electronics (3) to display on said display (2) various information in addition to the time, which according to the invention it further comprises:

-a communications module (4),

- a microphone (13) and loudspeaker (14) associated with the communication module (4) to allow a conversation to be held through it, and

-an emergency button (5) associated with the control electronics (3) and the communications module (4) to make an immediate call to a pre-programmed number in case of pressing.

The communications module (4) can comprise one or more of the following sub-modules: a mobile telephony sub-module (41) to communicate directly via the mobile telephony network and / or a mobile data sub-module (42) (3G, 4G, 5G ) to connect to the internet via mobile data network and / or a WIFI sub-module (43) to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi modem and / or local networks (for example networks of nursing homes, loT, etc., at no cost of data saving cost in the cards of telecommunications operators) and / or a bluetooth submodule (44) (to connect to additional gadgets, cardiac or respiratory measurement bands, to a smartphone, etc.). This ensures selective or total connectivity of the watch (1), even allowing sending SMS messages. Also, reading of gadgets and other biometric sensors that can be implemented, it can be transmitted to a processing center, not represented (for example a hospital), that is capable of detecting health abnormalities (for example a heart attack) even without the user pressing the button (5), and can be acted upon even if the user cannot operate said button.

It is preferred that the emergency button (5) be of a large size and is arranged in the front area of the watch face (1), to facilitate its operation even with low manual motor conditions (osteoarthritis for example).

In a very preferred variant of the invention, a geolocation module (11) has been provided (comprising, for example, GPS, AGPS and antenna). This will facilitate the location of the user in case of emergency with disorientation or inability to communicate the location.

Also preferred in the preferred variant of the invention is the arrangement of at least one secondary programmable button (6), associated with the control electronics (3) and the communications module (4) to perform additional functions, such as:

-make an immediate call to a programmable number,

-send a remote command (for example, turning lights on or off, through the communications module, with a suitable receiver). It is preferred that this button is also oversized and is also located on the front of the watch face.

As indicated, the watch can also have its own biometric data collection sensors, such as:

-accelerometer (7) (for movements and steps),

-heart rate sensor (8),

-blood pressure sensor (9),

-body temperature sensor (18),

-blood oxygen saturation sensor (19).

These sensors, associated with the appropriate software, can provide data to carry out multiple health processes, including energy management (calorie balance) or monitoring sleep quality.

Additionally, the watch (1) can have a camera (10), to take photos or video calls, as well as vibrators (12) for haptic transduction (to notify the user by vibrations of any notification or data entry calls, etc.).

It is also preferred that the screen (2) is tactile, for handling and entering commands, that the casing (16) is at least IP67 for protection against dust and humidity, and that it includes a wireless recharging module (15) to avoid access in said casing.

In addition, it will be preferred that the watch operates with an Android operating system, which is open, conveniently personalized.

Once the nature of the invention has been described, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions previously indicated and represented in the attached drawings are subject to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
