Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a band assembly for a smart watch, and more particularly, to a smart watch band assembly using a sound film to improve the sound transmission capability of a smart watch.
Popularized smart phone integrates data communication functions such as schedule management and Internet access to mobile phone functions. Unlike conventional mobile phones, which have been released as finished products and have been used only for a given function, It can be installed, added or deleted as desired.
However, increasingly high specifications are required to implement various functional applications, and the size and weight of smartphones are becoming significant.
On the other hand, as the size and weight increase, mobility and convenience are deteriorating. For example, in a bag or a pocket, it is difficult to use in real time, and the user may not be able to recognize a message or a phone call. In addition, as the size increases, it is often difficult to use when it is necessary to avoid meeting or eyes of another person.
In recent years, smart watches have been introduced that can be worn in places where accessibility is good, such as the end of a wrist or the sleeve of a wrists.
Such a smart watch can provide basic functions such as a simple phone call, confirmation of message reception, and voice reproduction from a time check, and the above functions are provided by smart watch itself or in a manner of being linked with a smart phone. Therefore, recently, it is attracting attention as a device that can complement the mobility and convenience of a somewhat deteriorated smartphone.
Although the product information on smart watches such as Sony's Smart Watch and Samsung's Galaxy Watch is constantly being provided, it is concentrated mainly on functions between smart watch and smart phone. There is no mention.
The present invention provides a smart watch band assembly capable of extending the sound function of a smart watch in a band using a sound film.
The present invention provides a smart watch band assembly that improves the sound transmission capability of a smart watch.
The present invention provides a smart watch band assembly that improves the sound control function of a smart watch.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a smart watch band assembly on which a smart watch is mounted includes a cradle for fixing the smart watch, a watch band for binding the cradle to the binding object, And includes a longitudinally mounted sound film.
In the present specification, the smart watch is a small device that can be worn on a binding object such as a wrist and can display specific information, and can include a speaker or a display as an audiovisual means, and can provide a basic clock and an alarm function And may itself include receiving functions such as telephone and messages, or may provide functions such as voice and video playback. In some cases, it is possible to refer to a watch or bracelet type device that can provide some functions of a smart phone in conjunction with a smartphone. In addition, the smart watch may basically include an input / output terminal for charging its own battery or transmitting / receiving data, or alternatively may receive power and signals necessary for driving from a smart watch.
A smart watch can be detachably mounted to the cradle, and a smart watch mounted on the cradle is secured to the cradle. As a means for fixing the smart watch to the cradle, an interference fit, a hook structure, a clip structure, a bolt, etc. can be applied.
The watch band can secure the cradle and the smart watch to a binding object such as a wrist, and the material can be resin, leather, metal, or the like. A sound film is provided in the longitudinal direction of the watch band.
The sound film may be a film or a thin plate speaker, which can generate sound by receiving an external electrical signal. The sound film may be formed through a piezoelectric element film, a conductive film, and an electrode structure. 10-0789322. ≪ / RTI >
Sound can be generated by attaching the sound film to the outer surface and inner surface of the watch band or by being embedded in the band. Particularly, when it is built in a band, it has a function of blocking from external environment such as waterproof and moisture-proof, but it also has a disadvantage that the sound transmission efficiency may be lowered.
In order to solve this problem, it is also possible to provide a protective film to the outside and inside of the sound film and to provide a space between the protective film and the sound film to secure a vibration space of the sound film.
In addition, the cradle may further include a sound module using a piezoelectric ceramic or the like, and may generate sounds necessary for message reception or alarm operation with or independently from the sound film.
The acoustic module includes, for example, a main piezoelectric driving body, a diaphragm physically coupled to the main piezoelectric driving body, and at least one of the main piezoelectric driving body and the diaphragm at a fixed point located inside the outer periphery of the main piezoelectric driving body And the outer periphery of the main piezoelectric driving body and the diaphragm can vibrate at a free end around the fixed point.
In addition, the smart watch and sound film may be directly connected through respective electrical terminals, or may be electrically connected directly to the input / output terminals of the smart watch mentioned above in the cradle. The smart watch can also directly control the sound film or sound module electrically connected to it, but the sound film or sound module may be indirectly controlled by using a control chip embedded in the band assembly.
In addition, the band assembly may be further provided with a vibration module to add or supplement the vibration function of the smart watch. The vibration of the smart watch can be used to transmit the call reception, message reception, and alarm to the wearer. The vibration module can be used for adding a vibration function to a smart watch without a vibration function or for reinforcing the vibrating function. The vibration module may be provided integrally with the cradle, and the vibration module may receive electrical signals from the smart watch to generate vibration.
The smart watch band assembly of the present invention can extend the sound functionality of the smart watch in the band using a sound film.
The smart watch band assembly of the present invention can improve the sound transfer capability of the smart watch because the sound film produces sound entirely around the wrist.
The smart watch band assembly of the present invention may improve or improve the sound control function of a smart watch associated with a smart phone by using a touch sensor as well as supplementing or supplementing a sound function with the smart watch.
