Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent wearable devices, and in particular to an intelligent ring and a health monitoring method and a charging method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, smart wearable devices have rapidly become popular and have become an indispensable part of modern people's lives. Common smart wearable devices include smart watches, smart necklaces, smart rings, etc. Smart wearable devices can record and analyze a variety of physiological data in real time, improving the convenience and scientificity of health management.

[0003] Finger rings are one of the jewelry people wear daily. They are in close contact with the skin and are small and difficult to sense. Therefore, it is very convenient to monitor health through smart finger rings. However, due to the size and power consumption limitations of sensors such as PPG and ECG and batteries, smart finger rings that can carry health monitoring functions in the prior art either use large batteries for battery life, resulting in a very large overall size of the smart finger ring and a poor wearing experience, or use small batteries to reduce the size, which have a very short battery life and need to be charged frequently. During the nighttime sleep process that requires long-term monitoring, it is easy to be unable to cover due to lack of power, which greatly reduces the convenience. At the same time, due to the size limitation, smart finger rings in the prior art are usually unable to be equipped with vibration motors. Therefore, when performing health monitoring, they can only send health information to external devices and remind through external devices. When the wearer is asleep at night or the wearer cannot check the external device in time, it will not be able to remind the wearer in time when the health information is abnormal.

[0019] After receiving the vibration instruction, the main controller controls the rechargeable battery to supply power to the charging coil. The charging coil is energized to form a magnetic field. The magnet interferes with the magnetic field so that the magnet drives the outer ring to vibrate relative to the inner ring along the axial direction of the ring body to remind the wearer.

[0020] In one embodiment, the inner ring is provided with an avoidance hole at a position corresponding to the functional area, the health monitoring module includes a detection component and a processing component, and the steps of the health monitoring module monitoring and obtaining the wearer's health information include:

[0021] The wearer wears the smart ring so that the detection component passes through the avoidance hole and contacts the body surface of the wearer;

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a plurality of charging coils along the circumference of the inner ring of the ring body, and set a plurality of magnets along the circumference of the outer ring, and the inner ring and the outer ring are in sliding contact and cooperation. During daily use, the outer ring will rotate due to friction with the external environment due to the daily activities of the wearer, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets are opposite, so that the charging coil on the inner ring can cut the magnetic flux lines during the rotation process to generate electromagnetic induction and generate induced current, and the induced current is used to charge the rechargeable battery, thereby improving the battery life of the smart ring. At the same time, the smart ring can be charged in real time, and there is no need to set up a huge battery to improve the battery life, which can reduce the volume of the smart ring and improve the user's wearing experience. At the same time, since the charging coil of the present invention is located in the magnet, it can be actively energized into the charging coil, so that a magnetic field is also generated around the charging coil. The magnetic field of the charging coil interferes with the magnet to generate a force along the axial direction of the ring body. However, since the charging coil is located on the inner ring, the inner ring contacts the wearer's skin and has a large resistance, so the charging coil is fixed, so the magnet will be subjected to a thrust, driving the outer ring to vibrate together, thereby realizing the function of reminding the wearer. The present invention utilizes the coordination of the charging coil on the inner ring and the magnet on the outer ring, and utilizes the rotation of the outer ring in daily life to charge, thereby extending the battery life of the smart ring while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small. At the same time, the magnetic field generated by the charging coil on the inner ring interferes with the magnet to achieve a vibration effect, so that the smart ring does not need to be equipped with a vibration motor, and the vibration reminder function can be achieved while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small.

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture.

Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0052] In the prior art, smart rings with health monitoring functions either use large batteries for battery life, resulting in a very large overall size of the smart ring and a poor wearing experience, or use small batteries to reduce the size, resulting in a short battery life and requiring frequent charging. During sleep at night when long-term monitoring is required, it is easy for the smart ring to run out of power and fail to cover the entire body, greatly reducing its convenience. At the same time, due to size limitations, smart rings in the prior art are usually unable to be equipped with vibration motors. Therefore, when performing health monitoring, they can only send health information to external devices and provide reminders through the external devices. When the wearer is asleep at night or the wearer cannot check the external device in time, it will not be possible to promptly remind the wearer when abnormal health information occurs.

[0053] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a smart ring.

[0054] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 The smart ring of this embodiment includes a ring body, which includes an inner ring, a rechargeable battery, an outer ring and a main controller. The outer circumference of the inner ring is provided with a rechargeable battery and a plurality of charging coils electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, and a health monitoring module. The main controller is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery; the outer ring is sleeved outside the inner ring and is in sliding contact with the inner ring, and a plurality of magnets are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner circumference of the outer ring. The magnetic poles of any two adjacent magnets are opposite. The inner ring can rotate relative to the outer ring so that the charging coil generates an induced current and charges the rechargeable battery through the induced current; the health monitoring module is used to monitor, obtain and process the health information of the wearer, and send the processed health information to the main controller. The main controller is used to compare the health information with the preset health standard, and when the health information does not meet the preset health standard, the rechargeable battery is controlled to supply power to the charging coil. The charging coil is energized to form a magnetic field, and the magnet interferes with the magnetic field so that the magnet drives the outer ring to vibrate relative to the inner ring along the axial direction of the ring body.

[0055] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a plurality of charging coils 111 along the circumference of the inner ring 11 of the ring body 1, and set a plurality of magnets 121 along the circumference of the outer ring 12, and the inner ring 11 and the outer ring 12 are in sliding contact and cooperation. During daily use, the outer ring 12 will rotate due to friction between the wearer's daily activities and the external environment, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets 121 are opposite, so that the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 can cut the magnetic lines of force during rotation to generate electromagnetic induction and induced current, and the induced current charges the rechargeable battery 13, thereby improving the battery life of the smart ring. At the same time, the smart ring can be charged in real time without the need to set up a huge battery to improve the battery life. The size of the smart ring can be reduced and the user's wearing experience can be improved. At the same time, since the charging coil 111 of the present invention is located inside the magnet 121, the charging coil 111 can be actively energized, so that a magnetic field is also generated around the charging coil 111. The magnetic field of the charging coil 111 interferes with the magnet 121 to generate a force along the axial direction of the ring body 1. However, since the charging coil 111 is located on the inner ring 11, the inner ring 11 is in contact with the wearer's skin and has a large resistance, the charging coil 111 is fixed, so the magnet 121 will be subjected to a thrust, driving the outer ring 12 to vibrate together, thereby realizing the function of reminding the wearer. The present invention uses the coordination of the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 and the magnet 121 on the outer ring 12, and utilizes the rotation of the outer ring 12 in daily life to charge, while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small, the battery life of the smart ring is extended, and at the same time, the magnetic field generated by the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 interferes with the magnet 121 to achieve the effect of vibration, so that the smart ring does not need to be provided with a vibration motor, and the function of vibration reminder can be realized while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small.

[0056] Furthermore, when a pulse current with changing direction is passed through the charging coil 111, the force exerted on the magnet 121 will also change direction continuously, and the force acting on the outer shell will also change continuously. The overall performance is that the outer ring 12 vibrates back and forth, which can simulate the vibration effect of the vibrator motor and remind the user. The application scenario is when there is a notification reminder, such as a mobile phone call, low battery, poor physical condition, and timely medical treatment.

[0057] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the inner ring includes a magnetic sensing area and a functional area outside the magnetic sensing area. A plurality of charging coils are arranged in the magnetic sensing area at intervals along the circumference of the inner ring. The rechargeable battery and the health monitoring module are arranged in the functional area. Avoidance holes are provided at positions of the inner ring corresponding to the functional areas, and the health monitoring module passes through the avoidance holes. The charging coil 111 and the rechargeable battery 13 are both arranged on the outer periphery of the inner ring 11. There is no need to open up installation space for the rechargeable battery 13 separately, thereby reducing the overall volume of the smart ring and improving the wearing experience of the wearer. At the same time, in order to obtain better detection effects, avoidance holes 116 are provided on the inner ring 11, so that the health monitoring module 14 can directly detect the wearer's health information through the avoidance holes 116, thereby improving the accuracy of health information detection.

[0058] In one embodiment, the health monitoring module 14 includes a detection component and a processing component. The detection component is used to pass through the avoidance hole 116 and monitor and obtain the wearer's health information. The processing component is used to process the health information detected by the detection component and send the processed health information to an external device and a main controller.

[0059] The design of the detection component passing through the avoidance hole 116 can make the sensing component of the detection component as close to the wearer's skin as possible, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The existence of the avoidance hole 116 can make the layout of other modules inside the smart ring more compact and save space. The processing module can also send health information to external devices, such as smart mobile terminals such as mobile phones and computers, to visualize the health information and prompt the wearer which specific health information is abnormal, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of health monitoring and giving the wearer a better wearing experience.

[0060] In one embodiment, the magnetic sensitive area 112 is provided with a plurality of mounting frames 114 at intervals along the circumference of the inner ring 11, and threading holes 115 are formed on the mounting frames 114. The number of charging coils 111 is consistent with the number of mounting frames 114 and they are wound one by one on the threading holes 115 of the corresponding mounting frames 114, and each charging coil 111 forms a ring structure, and the axial direction of the charging coil 111 is the same as the axial direction of the inner ring 11.

[0061] When the axial direction of the charging coil 111 is consistent with the axial direction of the inner ring 11, the magnetic flux cutting direction of the charging coil 111 is perpendicular to the magnetic flux change direction generated by the rotation of the outer ring 12, so that the charging coil 111 can cut the magnetic flux change to the maximum intensity, thereby generating a larger induced current and improving the charging efficiency of the charging coil 111 for the rechargeable battery 13.

[0062] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6, wherein the letter N represents the N pole of the magnet 121, and the letter S represents the S pole of the magnet 121. In one embodiment, each magnet 121 is a U-shaped magnet, and the openings of the plurality of magnets 121 are all facing the inner ring 11 and form a rotating channel 122 with the inner ring 11. The plurality of mounting brackets 114 and the plurality of charging coils 111 are all located in the rotating channel 122. The magnet 121 is a U-shaped magnet 121, and the opening of the magnet 121 is facing the inner ring 11 and forms a quadrilateral rotating channel 122 with the inner ring 11, thereby limiting and guiding the charging coil 111 and other structures located in the rotating channel 122, and ensuring that the charging coil 111 can fully cut the magnetic flux lines of the magnet 121 when the outer ring 12 rotates relative to the inner ring 11, generating a larger induced current, and improving the charging efficiency of the charging coil 111 for the rechargeable battery 13.

[0063] In one embodiment, the magnet 121 includes a bottom plate 123 and a first side plate 124 and a second side plate 125 respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 123. The first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 are respectively disposed on both sides of the charging coil 111 along the axial direction of the inner ring 11. The first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 correspond to two magnetic poles of the magnet 121, respectively, and the polarities of the first side plates 124 of any two adjacent magnets 121 are different. The first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 are respectively disposed on both sides of the charging coil 111 along the axial direction of the inner ring 11, and correspond to two magnetic poles, respectively, so that the magnetic flux lines between the first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 directly pass through the charging coil 111, thereby ensuring the symmetry and strength stability of the magnetic field distribution, increasing the induction efficiency, thereby inducing a larger induction current, and improving the charging efficiency of the charging coil 111 for the rechargeable battery 13.

[0064] In one embodiment, the width of the charging coil 111 along the circumference of the inner ring 11 is A, the width of the magnet 121 along the circumference of the inner ring 11 is B, and the spacing between any two adjacent magnets 121 is C, wherein A>B+2C. The width A of the charging coil 111 along the circumference of the inner ring 11 is greater than the width B of the magnet 121 along the circumference of the inner ring 11 and twice the spacing C between the magnets 121, so that when the outer ring 12 rotates to any position, the charging coil 111 can correspondingly cut the magnet 121 and cut the magnetic flux lines, ensuring that the charging coil 111 can continuously generate induced current when the outer ring 12 rotates, thereby improving the utilization rate of the rotation of the outer ring 12; and can simultaneously cut the magnetic flux lines of the two magnets 121, so that the two ends of the charging coil 111 move in two magnetic fields with different polarities, thereby improving the induction efficiency of the charging coil 111, so that the charging coil 111 induces a larger induced current, and improves the charging efficiency of the charging coil 111 for the rechargeable battery 13.

[0065] In one embodiment, the ring body 1 further includes an energy storage element, and the plurality of charging coils 111 are electrically connected to the energy storage element, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 13, and the energy storage element is used to store the induced current generated by the charging coil 111. Since the outer ring rotation force relied on for power generation is random, which may be the relative movement between fingers or the relative movement between an object and fingers, and the action time may be intermittent, an energy storage element is arranged in the circuit of coil power generation, and the energy storage element stores the intermittently generated tiny current and sends it to the rechargeable battery 13, so that the charging coil 111 can output a stable and balanced current to the rechargeable battery 13.

[0066] See also Figure 7 The present invention also provides a health monitoring method, which is applied to the above-mentioned smart ring, wherein the health monitoring method comprises the following steps:

[0067] S100: The health monitoring module monitors and obtains the wearer's health information;

[0068] The wearer wears the smart ring on the wearer's body surface so that the inner ring contacts the wearer's body surface. At this time, the health monitoring module passes through the avoidance hole and contacts the wearer's body surface, thereby more accurately monitoring health information;

[0069] S200: The health monitoring module processes the health information and compares the processed health information with a preset health standard;

[0070] S300: If the health information is compared and found not to meet the preset health standard, the health monitoring module sends a vibration instruction to the main controller;

[0071] S400: After receiving the vibration instruction, the main controller controls the rechargeable battery to supply power to the charging coil. The charging coil is energized to form a magnetic field. The magnet interferes with the magnetic field so that the magnet drives the outer ring to vibrate relative to the inner ring along the axial direction of the ring body to remind the wearer.

[0072] The health monitoring module determines the wearer's health status based on the health information, and when the wearer's health information does not meet the preset health standards, it determines that the wearer's health status is abnormal. At this time, the main controller cooperates with the charging coil, magnet and rechargeable battery to realize vibration reminder, so that the wearer can detect his or her abnormal condition in time.

[0073] The charging coil 111 of the present invention is located inside the magnet 121, so that the charging coil 111 can be actively energized, so that a magnetic field is also generated around the charging coil 111, and the magnetic field of the charging coil 111 interferes with the magnet 121 to generate a force along the axial direction of the ring body 1, but because the charging coil 111 is located on the inner ring 11, the inner ring 11 is in contact with the wearer's skin, and the resistance is large, so the charging coil 111 is fixed, so the magnet 121 will be subjected to a thrust, driving the outer ring 12 to vibrate together, thereby realizing the function of reminding the wearer. The present invention uses the coordination of the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 and the magnet 121 on the outer ring 12, and utilizes the rotation of the outer ring 12 in daily life to charge, while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small, the battery life of the smart ring is extended, and at the same time, the magnetic field generated by the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 interferes with the magnet 121 to achieve the effect of vibration, so that the smart ring does not need to be provided with a vibration motor, and the function of vibration reminder can be realized while ensuring that the size of the smart ring is small.

[0074] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, an avoidance hole is provided at a position of the inner ring corresponding to the functional area, and the health monitoring module includes a detection component and a processing component. Step S100 includes:

[0075] S110: The wearer wears the smart ring so that the detection component passes through the avoidance hole and contacts the body surface of the wearer;

[0076] The design of the detection component passing through the avoidance hole 116 can make the sensing component of the detection component as close to the wearer's skin as possible, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The existence of the avoidance hole 116 can make the layout of other modules inside the smart ring more compact and save space;

[0077] S120: The detection component monitors and obtains the wearer's health information and sends it to the processing module;

[0078] Step S200 includes:

[0079] S210: The processing module processes the health information and compares the processed health information with the preset health standard.

[0080] The processing module processes the detected health information into quantitative data that is easier to identify and compare, and then compares the health information with the preset health standards, thereby simplifying the comparison process, improving the comparison accuracy, and making the health information clearer and easier to understand.

[0081] Further, the detection component includes a PPG module, a motion sensor and a temperature sensor; step S120 includes:

[0082] S1201: the PPG module monitors and obtains the heart rate data and blood oxygen data of the wearer, the motion sensor monitors and obtains the motion data of the wearer, and the temperature sensor monitors and obtains the body temperature data of the wearer;

[0083] S1202: Sending the heart rate data, the blood oxygen data, the motion data, and the body temperature data to the processing module;

[0084] The PPG module is used to detect the wearer's heart rate data and blood oxygen data, the motion sensor is used to detect the wearer's motion data, such as the wearer's steps, acceleration, etc., and the temperature sensor is used to detect the wearer's body temperature data. Health information includes blood oxygen data, heart rate data, motion data, and body temperature data. By combining different sensor types, the detection component can obtain the wearer's health information more comprehensively and improve the health monitoring effect of the smart ring.

[0085] Step S210 includes:

[0086] S2101: The processing module processes the heart rate data, the blood oxygen data, the motion data and the body temperature data, and compares the heart rate data, the blood oxygen data, the motion data and the body temperature data with the preset health standard;

[0087] Step S300 includes:

[0088] S310: If it is found through comparison that any one of the heart rate data, the blood oxygen data, the motion data and the body temperature data does not meet the preset health standard, the health monitoring module sends a vibration instruction to the main controller.

[0089] It should be noted that after the comparison, the comparison result is obtained, and the comparison result includes qualified and unqualified. When any one of the heart rate data, the blood oxygen data, the motion data and the body temperature data does not meet the preset health standard and an abnormality occurs, the processing module determines that the health information is unqualified, and sends a vibration command to the main controller at the same time, thereby prompting the wearer that the health information has an abnormality. At the same time, the processing module can also send the health information to external devices, such as mobile phones, computers and other smart mobile terminals, to visualize the health information, and prompt the wearer which specific health information is abnormal, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of health monitoring and giving the wearer a better wearing experience.

[0090] Understandably, when charging a smart ring, it is usually necessary to set a contact point on the outside of the ring so that it contacts the charging connector for charging. However, contact between the contact point and the external environment can easily cause the contact point to rust and be damaged, thus reducing the service life of the smart ring.

[0091] Please combine Figure 4 and Fig. 9In order to solve the above problems, the present invention also provides a smart ring charging method, which is applied to the above smart ring. The smart ring also includes a charging box, a charging compartment is formed in the charging box, and a plurality of electromagnetic coils are arranged on the outer periphery of the charging compartment. A controller is also arranged in the charging box, and the plurality of electromagnetic coils are electrically connected to the controller. The smart ring charging method includes the following steps:

[0092] S400: placing the ring body into the charging compartment and charging the electromagnetic coil;

[0093] S410: Controlling the current flow direction of each electromagnetic coil during charging through the controller to change the polarity of the charging magnetic field generated by each electromagnetic coil, so that the charging coil in the ring body cuts the charging magnetic field to form an induced current, and charges the rechargeable battery through the induced current.

[0094] The inner ring 11 is provided with a charging coil 111, which can generate current through electromagnetic induction. Therefore, there is no need to set an external contact point. The magnetic field can be generated by the electromagnetic coil 22 in the charging box 2. At the same time, the controller controls the current flow direction of different electromagnetic coils 22 to change the polarity of the electromagnetic coil 22, so that the magnetic flux induced by the charging coil 111 changes continuously, thereby generating current and completing the charging of the smart ring. The outer ring 12 of the smart ring is closed without contact points, and will not rust and be damaged due to contact with the external environment, thereby extending the service life of the smart ring. By using the cooperation of the charging coil 111 on the inner ring 11 and the electromagnetic coil 22 in the charging box 2, wireless charging of the smart ring is achieved without setting external contact points, thereby extending the service life of the smart ring.

[0095] Furthermore, a buckle is provided in the charging compartment 21, and the buckle is used to abut against the outer periphery of the outer ring 12, so that the outer ring 12 is snapped into the charging compartment 21. When charging in the charging compartment 21, since the charging coil 111 generates an induced current for charging by using the principle of electromagnetic induction, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil 22 will also interfere with the magnet 121 on the outer ring 12, which may cause the outer ring 12 to vibrate, etc. Therefore, by setting the buckle to abut against the outer periphery of the outer ring 12, abnormal vibration of the outer ring 12 during charging can be avoided, thereby improving the stability and safety of the smart ring when charging.

[0096] The above descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
