Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
A terminal can be divided into a mobile terminal (mobile / portable terminal) and a stationary terminal according to whether the terminal can be moved. The mobile terminal can be divided into a handheld terminal and a vehicle mounted terminal according to whether the user can directly carry the mobile terminal.
The functions of mobile terminals are diversified. For example, there are data and voice communication, photographing and video shooting through a camera, voice recording, music file playback through a speaker system, and outputting an image or video on a display unit. Some terminals are equipped with an electronic game play function or a multimedia player function. In particular, modern mobile terminals can receive multicast signals that provide visual content such as broadcast and video or television programs.
Such a terminal has various functions, for example, in the form of a multimedia device having multiple functions such as photographing and photographing of a moving picture, reproduction of a music or video file, reception of a game and broadcasting, etc. .
In order to support and enhance the functionality of such terminals, it may be considered to improve the structural and / or software parts of the terminal.
Recently, SmartWatch is one of the most popular wearable devices with various designs and performance. The smart watch has a variety of sensors and communication functions to perform direct telephone conversation and communication network connection as well as interworking with external devices (e.g., mobile terminals, smart phones).
However, since the smart watch is equipped with a small battery due to the characteristics of the device, continuous charging is required, and when the battery is continuously used for a predetermined time, the battery is discharged.
In addition, the smart watch has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to confirm the general disadvantages of the mobile terminal, that is, information (e.g., time) displayed on the display in the outdoors where the bright sun illuminates. In addition, manufacturers are launching new products at regular intervals, so users may be reluctant to wear their new SmartWatch when it is released.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid smart watch that combines the analog sensibility of a quartz watch with the innovation of a smart watch, and a method of operating the hybrid smart watch.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a hybrid smart watch capable of reducing battery consumption of a smart watch and easily checking the time even outdoors, and a method of operating the hybrid smart watch.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hybrid smart watch including: a smart watch having a display unit and a controller to form one side of a main body; A slot formed along the side case of the body; An analog watch having a movement to form the other side of the body; And a watch face which is inserted through the slot and is mounted on a movement inside the main body so as to be positioned adjacent to a display portion of the smart watch.
When the watch face is changed and installed, the control unit can confirm the identification number of the newly installed watch face and automatically change the theme displayed on the display unit.
The theme is a watch face design, which may include color, component type, layout, and function information.
In order to achieve the above object, a method of operating a hybrid smart watch according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method of operating a hybrid smart watch incorporating a smart watch having a display unit and an analog watch having a movement, Sensing a watch face inserted into an upper portion of the movement through a slot of the side case so as to be positioned side by side with the display unit; Confirming the type of the watch face; And automatically changing a theme displayed on the display unit according to the type of the watch face that is confirmed.
Wherein the step of automatically changing the theme includes changing to a different theme displayed only on the display unit or changing to a theme integrated with a new theme of a watch face, Lt; / RTI >
The method of operating the hybrid smart watch includes automatically changing a theme displayed on the display unit of the smart watch when the outdoor detection or the change of the clock line is performed; And
And setting a time corresponding to the function setting by moving the hands of the watch face according to the time related function set on the display unit.
The present invention provides a hybrid smart watch composed of an analog watch and a digital smart watch, and the face portion of the analog watch is designed to be replaceable, thereby providing interest to the user and providing various clock designs.
In addition, the present invention provides a hybrid smart watch that combines the analog sensibility of a quartz watch with the innovation of a smart watch, so that even when the battery of the smart watch is discharged, the time can be easily checked through the analog watch, Can be confirmed.
