AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal, in which a first main body and a second main body that are spaced apart from each other are connected to a wristband, thereby reducing main body thickness when compared to a conventional portable terminal having a single main body.

[0015] It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal that is easy to wear around a wrist by providing a wristband made of an elastic material.

[0016] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal that can be conveniently used through a structure in which an interfacing unit using a wireless communication means can be detached from a main body and can be replaced with another, and that is easy to use, especially in various modes.

[0018] It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal, in which a data input device can be easily detached.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the conventional wrist wearable portable terminal, essential parts such as a data input device, a data output device, a microphone, a speaker, an antenna, and a battery pack have to be mounted in a limited space of a single main body, increasing the thickness or the entire size of the main body.

In other words, a wrist wearable portable terminal having a thick main body is inconvenient for the user to wear on his / her wrist.

Moreover, when the main body is thick or large, its exterior design is not attractive and a plurality of parts have to be mounted in a limited space on the main body.

Even if the main body has a small size, inconvenience is caused in data input / output operations.

Furthermore, the foregoing problems eventually hinder an optimal interface environment from being provided to the user.
