Description

Field of technology

The utility model relates to electronics, namely to computerized wristwatches with extended functionality. In particular, smart watches display time, indicators of physical activity and health of the user.

State of the art

There are a number of technical solutions aimed at developing smart watches that, in addition to the time, are capable of displaying the user’s health indicators on their screen.

The closest analogue of the claimed utility model is the smart watch device known from patent WO 2015/177594 A2 dated November 26, 2015.

This design of a smart watch contains a belt (bracelet) designed to be worn on a part of the body and having an internal surface in contact with the part of the body when worn by the user, a housing with a display and sensors such as a heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, temperature, ECG, accelerometer.

The known design of the prototype watch has a significant drawback, which is that for better results in measuring health indicators, the smart watch must be placed on the inside of the wrist, where the greatest contact of the sensors with the surface of the skin is achieved, which leads to significant discomfort, expressed in , that with this placement the image on the display is rotated perpendicular to the horizontal plane of visual perception.

This makes viewing health indicators inconvenient, and in some cases with a problem with the cervical spine, difficult.

Thus, the objective of this utility model is to create a smart watch device with the ability to display images of the user’s activity and health indicators in a plane aligned with the user’s field of view.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to expand the functionality of smart watches by providing both automatic and mechanical combination of images with indicators of monitoring the user's health with the user's field of view during various manipulations performed by the hand on which the smart watch is placed.

Disclosure of utility model

Just like its closest analogue, the proposed smart watch device contains a belt (bracelet), a housing with a display and health monitoring sensors.

The difference between the claimed smartwatch device and its analogue is that the image of health parameters on the display rotates when detecting the movement/rotation of the hand, either automatically or mechanically following the rotation of the body.

The set goal, required and obtained when using the utility model, the technical result is achieved by the fact that a smart watch with a function for monitoring the user’s health indicators, containing a case, a bracelet and sensors that monitor the user’s health parameters, and the case contains a processor, an accelerometer and grooves, the bracelet has the base platform on which the clamps are located, and when receiving a signal from the accelerometer about a change in the position of the body, the processor is configured to automatically rotate the image with the user’s health parameters at an angle ensuring alignment of the displayed information with the user’s field of view, while the body is removable with the ability to rotate in the plane of the bracelet base platform at an angle that ensures alignment of the image with the user’s health parameters with the user’s field of view and securing the case in a given position by aligning the grooves on the case with the latches on the bracelet.

In addition, the rotation angle is 90°, 180°, 270° and 360° in both directions.

In this case, sensors that monitor the user’s health parameters are located on the body.

In this case, the smart watch is designed with the ability to block automatic rotation or the ability to set a specific rotation angle.

Implementation of a utility model

Using a smartwatch with health monitoring has a number of benefits. Thanks to the use of such watches, the user in real time without visiting any medical institutions has the opportunity to monitor health indicators such as: temperature, blood oxygen saturation level (saturation), heart rate (pulse), heart rate indicators (ECG), detection of acute dehydration, sleep indicators, etc.

In addition, the use of smart watches also helps doctors track the patient’s health indicators, due to the ability, through the transceiver located in the smart watch body, to transmit health indicators over the network to the hospital server for further display on the doctor’s terminal.

To collect health indicators, smart watches contain sensors such as: optical sensors, thermometer, GSR sensors, bioimpedance sensors (BioZ), electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, biological sensors (for example, pulse, pulse oximetry, body temperature, blood pressure, body fat and etc.) or any combination thereof.

Smart watches have a composite design, in which the bracelet and the case are one device with the ability to detach the case from the bracelet to rotate it 90°, 180°, 270° or 360°.

As shown in FIG. 5, bracelet 2 consists of a base platform 5 and two straps, which are located on both sides of the base platform 5.

The bracelet 2 can be made of flexible material to make the smart watch easier to wear. The following materials can be used: leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, etc.

In the center of the base platform 5 there is a round slot 6, which ensures contact of the health indicators collection sensors located on the inner surface of the watch case 3 with the skin surface of the inner side of the wrist.

On the sides of the base platform 5 there are latches-clamps 7, which, when combined with the grooves 8 located on the body 3 of the smart watch, ensure reliable fixation of the body 3 in the bracelet 2 without the possibility of displacement.

As shown in FIG. 4, 5, the grooves 8 located on the housing 3 provide the ability to rotate the housing in a horizontal plane by 90°, 180°, 270°, 360° in both directions through mechanical rotation of the housing 3 and alternately changing the grooves 8, with which the latches-clamps 7 interact.

The case of 3 smart watches can be implemented in different designs, such as round, rectangular, square and others, and also have additional design elements, for example, precious stones, Swarovski crystals, drawings, engravings, etc.

In housing 3 there are interconnected: communication unit 11, sensor unit 12, processor 10, power supply 13, memory 14, sensor unit for collecting health indicators 15, display unit 16, interface unit 17. Block diagram of these elements included in the smart watch housing 3 is shown in FIG. 6.

The communication unit 11 provides wireless communication between the smart watch 1 and the wireless communication system, between two smart watches, between the smart watch 1 and an external server, between the smart watch 1 and the user’s personal device. The communication unit 11 is configured to receive broadcast transmission, mobile communications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Personal Area Network (PAN), short-range communications, GPS.

The sensor unit 12 includes a plurality of sensors configured to sense internal information of the smartwatch, the environment of the smartwatch, user information, and the like. For example, the sensor unit 12 may alternatively or additionally include sensors such as: a proximity sensor, Light Sensor, Touch Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Motion Sensor, RGB Sensor, Infrared (IR) Sensor, Finger Scanning Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, Optical Sensor (such as Camera), Microphone, Battery Indicator, Environmental Sensor (for example, barometer, hygrometer, thermometer, radiation detection sensor, heat sensor and gas sensor, among others) and others.

The display unit 16 may be configured as a touch screen and is configured to output various types of information such as audio, video, tactile output, health indicators, and the like.

The interface unit 17 serves to interface with various types of external devices that may be connected to the smart watch 1. The interface unit 17, for example, may include any of wired or wireless ports, external power supply ports, wired or wireless data ports , ports for memory cards, ports for connecting a device with an identification module, audio input/output (I/O), video input/output ports, headphone ports, etc.

The memory 14 is used to store data to support various functions or features of the smartwatch, as well as to store data received from sensors.

The power supply 13 contains a battery and is configured to receive external power or provide internal power to supply the appropriate power required for the operating elements and components included in the watch.

Additionally, the smart watch housing 3 may contain a user input unit (control buttons) consisting of at least one touch key, a push key, a mechanical key, a programmable key, etc., located on the side surface of the housing and serving to provide the user is able to enter information. In the presented figures, the control buttons located on the side surface of the case are indicated by position 9.

For the best results of measuring health indicators, it is necessary that the sensors are located on the inside of the wrist, where the greatest contact of the sensors with the surface of the skin is achieved and where the veins are closest.

With this placement of the smart watch on the hand to combine the image of the display with indicators of monitoring the user's health with the user's field of view during various manipulations performed by the hand, the smart watch provides two functions. The first is the function of automatically rotating the display image. The second is the function of mechanical rotation of the watch case. Moreover, each of these functions can be performed either independently or simultaneously to increase the efficiency of using the watch.

Let's consider a specific example in which automatic image rotation and mechanical rotation of the body are carried out.

The user places the smart watch 1 on the inner surface of the wrist (right or left depending on the user's preference), ensuring the greatest contact of the sensors 15 for collecting health and activity data with the surface of the skin where the veins are most closely located.

Sensors 15 located on the body 3 of the smartwatch 1 begin collecting indicators such as temperature, blood oxygen saturation level (saturation), heart rate (pulse), heart rate indicators (ECG), acute dehydration detection, sleep indicators, etc. .P.

Information from sensors 15 is stored in memory 14 and displayed on display unit 16.

The user lifts, rotates, or otherwise manipulates the arm to view the displayed information on the 4 o'clock display 1.

When the hand moves (up, down, to the side, turn, etc.), the accelerometer determines the position (angle of rotation and side of location) of the user's hand and, therefore, the position of the smart watch 1 on it and sends this data to the processor 10, which sends a signal to the display unit 16, where it automatically rotates the image of the display 4 with health indicators to the corresponding specific angle, ensuring that the displayed information aligns with the user’s field of view, that is, strictly horizontally.

Thus, the rotation of the display 4 image can be 90°, 180°, 270°, 360° in both directions, depending on which hand the watch is located on. This is shown in detail in Fig. 3, where options a) - d) display the possible rotation of the strap 2 with the body 3 of the smart watch 1 on the user's hand and the strictly horizontal position of the image of the indicators on the display screen 4 of the smart watch 1 to ensure alignment of the displayed information with the user's field of view.

In this case, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2, through interaction with the watch interface or with control buttons 9, the rotation locking function (HOLD) can be enabled or the ability to set a specific rotation angle of 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees in both directions.

Thus, the proposed smart watch 1, including the elements listed above, ensures that the image of the user’s health monitoring indicators is combined with the user’s field of view during various manipulations performed by the hand on which they are placed.

The user places the smart watch 1 on the inner surface of the wrist (right or left depending on the user's preference), ensuring the greatest contact of the sensors 15 for collecting health and activity data with the surface of the skin where the veins are most closely located.

Sensors 15 located on the body 3 of the smartwatch 1 begin collecting indicators such as temperature, blood oxygen saturation level (saturation), heart rate (pulse), heart rate indicators (ECG), acute dehydration detection, sleep indicators, etc. .P.

Information from sensors 15 is stored in memory 14 and displayed on display unit 16.

The user lifts, rotates or otherwise manipulates the hand to view the displayed information on the display screen 4 of the smart watch 1.

In this case, if there is no signal from the accelerometer (loss of signal, breakdown of the accelerometer, too fast raising of the hand), the processor 10 cannot automatically rotate the image of the display 4 with health indicators to combine the displayed information with the user’s field of view.

As a result, information is displayed at an angle that is inconvenient for viewing.

For such a case, the smart watch 1 provides a mechanical rotation of the body 3, through which the body 3 of the smart watch is rotated in the plane of the base platform 5 of the bracelet 2 clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on the choice of the hand on which the smart watch is located) by alternately changing the grooves 8 located on the side surface of the body 3 in the latches 7 located on the sides of the base platform 5 to align the image of the user's health monitoring indicators on the display 4 with the user's field of view.

Each groove 8 provides rotation of the housing 3 by 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees, respectively.

Thus, the proposed smart watch 1, including the elements listed above, ensures that the image of the user’s health monitoring indicators is combined with the user’s field of view during various manipulations performed by the hand on which they are placed.

Taking into account the novelty of the set of essential features, the technical solution of the problem, the materiality of all general and specific features of the utility model, proven in the section “State of the art” and “Disclosure of the utility model”; the technical feasibility and industrial applicability of the proposed device, proven in the section “Implementation and industrial implementation of the utility model”; solving the assigned problems and confidently achieving the required technical result when implementing and using a utility model, in our opinion, the declared device satisfies all the requirements for patentability for utility models.

The analysis also shows that all the general and specific features of a utility model are essential, since each of them is necessary, and all together they are not only sufficient to achieve the goal of the utility model, but also allow its implementation in an industrial way.
