GB2399253A - Wrist-, neck- or palm-worn mobile phone - Google Patents

Abstract

The mobile phone can be worn around the wrist Figure 1, around the neck Figure 4, or in the palm of the hand Figure 8. It has a battery that is stored in the phone well. The mobile phone is therefore always charged unless removed from the well, and can remain fully charged for a considerable length of time. The design also benefits from a infra red cordless headset or earpiece (Figures 2,3,5 and 6). The new mobile phone also has a touch sensitive screen (Figure 1.5,4.5 and 8.5)

Description

Description

New mobile phone design This invention relates to a new mobile phone design, which enables the user to wear it on their wrist, around their neck or resting in the palm of their hand.

In light of the increase in mobile phone thefts, the user can feel safe knowing that their phone is concealed, and will have no fear of their phone being snatched unless openly displayed.

This design will also be easier for the user, it will save them having to miss calls as they cannot find they mobile as it may have it at the bottom of their bag etc (female users).

The new design will also benefit the user as there is no need to keep recharging the phone, as a small battery (see figure 7) will be inserted behind the phone on each design allowing continuous use of the mobile phone until a new battery needs to be replaced.

This invention also provides a touch screen facility in order to the phone more easily.

The phone can be made from materials such as gold, silver or plastic (in case a user may have an allergy to metals).

These can be in trendy or ordinary designs to suit all types of users.

This invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figures 1, 4 & 8 Show the front of how the new mobile phone designs would look Figure 1.1, 4.1 & 8.1 Shows an optional transparent durable plastic cover to protect the phone, which is flexible if the user wishes to operate the phone with the cover on, i.e. using the tilt faclilty. f-

Figure 1.2, 4.2 & 8.2 Shows a microphone which can be used for hearing the other party if the phone is ejected or tilted for hand held use (Figure 1.4).

The user will have a display on their screen to verify that user wishes to eject before the phone is released for safety reasons.

Figure 1.3, 4.3 & 8.3 Shows the on/off switch.

Figure 1.4, 4.4, & 8.4 Shows the tilt or eject button. The display screen (12) can be tilted for easier visibility.

Figure 1.5, 4.5 & 8.5 Shows a touch sensitive screen/buttons for easy use.

Figure 1.6, 4.6 & 8.6 The phone can be switched to cordless headset or earpiece (Figure2, 3 5, & 6 - numbers 9, 10 & 11), using an infrared facility, instead of having uncomfortable headset wires dangling.

Figure 1.7, 4.7 & 8.7 The caller can listen to the user speaking, using the hand held facility.

If the phone is used using the hand held facility, it can used on standby for quite a while until the low battery warning alerts the user to return it the well.

An advantage of this is if the user has to return it to the ' phone well' (Figure 1.8) it will start to recharge immediately there is no worry of finding the mains to recharge the phone or having it cut out in an emergency etc. Figure 1.8, 4.8 & 8.8 Shows where the battery and SIM card will be stored, behind the phone.

Figure 7 Shows an example of a typical battery the phone would use Figure 4 & 8 The user can simply bring the phone to their ear if they wish to use the hand held facility, with it still safely around their neck or in the palm of their hand.

Figure 1.12, 4.12 & 8.12 Shows the display screen.

Figure 1.13, 4.13 & 8.13 Shows a lens at the back of the phone for photo messaging facilities.

Figure 8 Shows how the phone can be worn with a strap attached to the wrist (14), which is also securely held in place with an adjustable loop around the finger (15).

The phone is protected with a plastic cover, so that it does not get damaged.

The user can then have the phone resting in the palm of the hand, which is also easy to use, and can be concealed for safety. ( 4
