Smart watch with plug-in expansion module

This creation is about a smart watch, especially a smart watch with a card-type expansion module to improve operational efficiency.

In recent years, wearable communication devices are one of the emerging areas of active development in the technology industry. Wearable communication devices integrate the functions of digital products into wearable devices such as watches, glasses, bracelets, and gloves. It is convenient for users to carry. Among them, smart watches have become more and more popular.

The general smart watch has an operating system built in, which can provide functions of traditional watches and digital products, such as calendar notification, communication, sending and receiving mail, browsing network information, data transmission, detecting pulse heartbeat, recording sleep information, etc. Various functions, however, when the smart watch is running at high efficiency, the speed of its power consumption is faster, and it needs to be charged frequently, which is not convenient for the user to wear, thereby affecting the willingness to use.

Furthermore, since the smart watch is equivalent to the function of integrating the digital product and has the capability of network data transmission, the update of the operating system or the execution program (App) is also as convenient as the smart phone, however, the smart watch is relative to the smart watch. The size of the mobile phone is small, and in the case of limited volume, its hardware specification is inevitably unable to install too many sensing elements or high-capacity memory like a mobile phone, so that when various hardwares are made into a volume due to technological advancement When it is reduced to allow for installation on a smart watch, the user can only choose to replace the new smart watch and discard the original watch and waste.

In addition, as mentioned above, the existing smart watch is limited in its ability to install hardware or software, and if the user has special needs, For example, hardware components such as GPS and 3D gyroscopes are required. Only the brands and specific models with these two functions can be purchased. This not only limits the choice of consumers, but also the manufacturers must address each of the different needs. The introduction of different models has led to a significant increase in manufacturing costs.

In view of this, the creator has accumulated many years of research and practical experience in related fields, and has created a smart watch with a plug-in expansion module to improve the difficulty of expanding the hardware of the conventional smart watch, and is limited by Hardware specifications cannot update the missing operating system.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a smart watch with a flip type host and a plug-in type expansion module, and use the expansion module to expand the hardware specifications or update the software and operating system to improve the running performance of the flip type host.
