[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0035] As the first embodiment of the quartz smart watch described in this application, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a shell 1, a quartz movement (built-in, not shown), a pointer 2 and a time adjustment knob 3, the quartz movement and the pointer 2 are arranged in the shell 1, the time adjustment knob 3 is arranged on the side of the shell 1, the smart watch also includes an MCU module and a communication module electrically connected to the MCU module, a voice module, a positioning module, a power module, a call button 4, and an SOS button 5, the communication module is used for communication and realizing the networking function, the voice module includes a microphone and a speaker for receiving and playing sound, the power module is used to supply power to each functional module, the call button 4 and the SOS button 5 are arranged on the shell 1, and are used to trigger telephone calls and SOS call functions, the positioning module can obtain the current location of the smart watch, and after the smart watch is connected to the network, it can transmit the positioning information to the external device.

[0036] The smart watch adopts a traditional quartz movement and hands 2, and users can directly view and know the time, retaining the most original function of the smart watch as a timing tool. It is basically consistent with the existing quartz watch in appearance and the wearing method is also the same. This application no longer has a touch screen and does not have a display function, which effectively prevents children from playing with the watch. The simplest call function is retained, and an SOS function is added. The functions are simplified, and the call button 4 and SOS button 5 are also set to facilitate operation by children and the elderly.

[0037] In the present invention, the communication module is an Internet of Things card communication module or a mobile phone card communication module. The Internet of Things card communication module or the mobile phone card communication module can realize the networking function, can make and receive calls, realize the one-key alarm function and the positioning function. When the SOS button 5 is pressed and the one-key alarm function is triggered, the current location of the smart watch can also be sent to the mobile phone of the family through SMS, which plays the role of timely reminder.

[0038] In the present invention, the power module includes a rechargeable battery and a wireless charging receiving module, and the wireless charging receiving module is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is charged by wireless charging, and there is no need to set a traditional charging port on the housing 1, which can improve the waterproof performance of the smart watch. As another embodiment of the power module, the power module includes a rechargeable battery and a magnetic charging interface, and the magnetic charging interface is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is charged by a magnetic charging interface, and the magnetic charging interface will not get wet, which can also improve the waterproof performance of the smart watch.

[0039] Under normal circumstances, the smart watch will be in standby sleep mode; it will be awakened only in an emergency (by pressing the call button 4 or the SOS button 5), or when a family member needs to operate the watch with a mobile phone, such as locating the watch, and will work for a long time to save power and have enough power for positioning / calling in an emergency.

[0040] As the second embodiment of the quartz smart watch described in this application, refer to Figure 3 , which is different from the first embodiment, is that the quartz smart watch also includes a voice navigation module and a navigation button 6, which are both electrically connected to the MCU module, and the voice navigation module is used to provide a voice navigation service to guide the user to the preset destination, and the navigation button 6 is used to trigger the voice navigation function. Before using the voice navigation function, you must first preset an address in the smart watch, press the navigation button 6, and trigger the voice navigation function, so that children and the elderly can go home by themselves. For the convenience of operation, press the navigation button 6 to start the navigation function with one click, and press it again to end the navigation function with one click. Of course, other suitable control methods can also be used.

[0041] As the third embodiment of the quartz smart watch described in this application, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , which is different from the second embodiment in that the quartz smart watch includes a vibration navigation module and a navigation button 6, both of which are electrically connected to the MCU module, the vibration navigation module is used to provide navigation services to guide the user to a preset destination, and the navigation button 6 is used to trigger the vibration navigation function.

[0042] Before using the vibration navigation function, you must first preset an address in the smart watch, press the navigation button 6, and trigger the vibration navigation function, which is convenient for children and the elderly to go home by themselves. It is particularly suitable for use in noisy environments such as downtown areas, or for people with poor hearing. This embodiment also has an application scenario. When the family finds that the wearer of the smart watch is lost or can't find the place they want to go, they can directly send the target address to the smart watch through the networking function of the smart watch, and remotely start the navigation function to help the wearer quickly reach the destination.

[0043] More specifically, refer to Figure 5 The vibration navigation module includes a gyroscope, a first vibrator 7, a second vibrator 8, a third vibrator 9, a fourth vibrator 10 and an intermediate vibrator 11. The gyroscope, the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9, the fourth vibrator 10 and the intermediate vibrator 11 are all electrically connected to the MCU module. The gyroscope is used to detect the posture of the quartz smart watch. The first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9, the fourth vibrator 10 and the intermediate vibrator 11 are all arranged in the shell 1, and the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 are distributed in four directions of the upper, lower, left and right of the intermediate vibrator 11. The vibration intensity of the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 is stronger than the vibration intensity of the intermediate vibrator 11. The first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 select one to vibrate together with the intermediate vibrator 11 to indicate the current navigation direction.

[0044] The gyroscope is a relatively mature technology and is widely used on smart devices. As a sensor, it can detect a variety of information such as the horizontal, vertical, pitch, heading and angular velocity of the device. It is almost an essential component for devices with navigation functions and will not be introduced in detail in this application.

[0045] The vibration navigation method of the smart watch includes the following steps: S1, when the MCU module detects that the navigation button 6 is triggered, the vibration navigation function is turned on; S2, the posture of the quartz smart watch is detected by the gyroscope; S3, according to the posture of the quartz smart watch and the current navigation direction, the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9, the fourth vibrator 10 and the middle vibrator 11 are selected to vibrate simultaneously to indicate the current navigation direction.

[0046] Only when the posture of the smart watch is known can the correct navigation direction be given. The first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 select one to vibrate together with the middle vibrator 11. Since the vibration intensity of the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 is stronger than the vibration intensity of the middle vibrator 11, people can easily distinguish the vibration strength of the two. The middle vibrator 11 is used as a reference point. The direction in which the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, the third vibrator 9 and the fourth vibrator 10 vibrates is the current navigation direction.

[0047] Since the posture of the smart watch is very complex when worn, and it is always in a state of rapid change, the computing power of the smart watch hardware is required to be high. In order to reduce the hardware requirements, the vibration navigation method of the smart watch in this application also adds a posture limitation step. When it is detected that the front of the smart watch is facing up and the angle with the horizontal plane is less than 30 degrees, vibration navigation is performed. At this time, since the smart watch is in a better navigation posture, the direction of vibration navigation is more accurate; if it is detected that the front of the smart watch is facing up and the angle with the horizontal plane is greater than 30 degrees, or when it is facing down, it means that the smart watch is in a poor navigation posture. At this time, only the middle vibrator 11 is vibrated to issue a vibration reminder to remind the wearer to adjust the posture of the smart watch in time, and also remind the wearer that it is still in the vibration navigation mode. If you want to turn it off, you need to manually operate the navigation button 6 to exit the vibration navigation mode. After adopting the above posture limitation steps, the computing requirements for the smart watch will be significantly reduced, the direction accuracy of the vibration navigation will be improved, and the user experience will be improved.

[0048] In the present invention, as an equivalent replacement solution for the vibration navigation module, the vibration navigation module includes a gyroscope and a linear motor group, both of which are electrically connected to the MCU module, the gyroscope is used to detect the posture of the quartz smart watch, and the linear motor group is arranged in the housing 1 to indicate the current navigation direction by vibration. Only when the posture of the smart watch is known can the correct navigation direction be given, and the linear motor group can indicate the current navigation direction by vibration, and can also realize the vibration navigation function.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
