[0046] - Figure 2 The diagram illustrates that the smart wristband 200 collaborates with at least one smart screen 100 as the at least one smart screen 100 moves along the at least one smart wristband 200, and simultaneously provides processed data 101; and

[0047] - Figure 3 A communication method 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention can take the form of a watch 400 or watch kit 400, jewelry 400 or jewelry set 400, which includes at least one smart wristband 200, at least one smart screen 100 and / or precious or synthetic gemstones and / or jewelry 300. For ease of reading, the remainder of the detailed description of the invention will be substantially based on the watch 400 or watch kit 400 and the at least one smart screen 100. In other words, "smart screen 100" is not intended to limit the number of smart screens 100 to only one, and may include one or more smart screens 100 according to this embodiment. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that this description, with appropriate modifications, is applicable to gemstone watches 400, gemstone watch kits 400, jewelry 400 or jewelry sets 400 including at least one smart wristband 200 and at least one precious or synthetic gemstone and / or jewelry 300 according to embodiments of the invention given below.

[0049] The smart screen 100 can be arranged on the smart wristband 200, and the user can move the smart screen 100 along the smart wristband 200 to place the smart screen 100 in a comfortable position on the smart wristband 200.

[0050] Furthermore, it is entirely conceivable, for example, to arrange decorative objects along the smart wristband 200 in front of and / or behind the at least one smart screen 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0051] As described above, the smart screen 100 can work in conjunction with the smart wristband 200. Figure 2 This collaboration is illustrated schematically, and a cross-sectional view of the watch 400 and the smart screen 100 is shown.

[0052] As in Figure 2 As seen in the image, the smart wristband 200 includes a wristband 202, a processing unit 210, and a transmitter 220. The processing unit 210 is configured to process data 201 and provide processed data 101, and the transmitter 220 is configured to transmit the processed data 101. In one example, the transmitter 220 is a light transmitter 220. Alternatively, as described above, the transmitter 220 may be in the form of a radio frequency transmitter 220, an ultrasonic transmitter 220, an inductive transmitter 220, or an electrical transmitter 220. The processed data 101 can be transmitted to the smart screen 100 via electromagnetic waves, sound waves, electrical signals, and / or optical signals.

[0053] To allow this transmission, the wristband 202 includes a second communication interface 205 and at least one transmission support or transmission guide 230, which can be integrated or concealed within the wristband 202, which may be made of synthetic and / or natural materials. The integration of the second communication interface 205 and at least one transmission support or transmission guide 230 facilitates cooperation with the at least one smart screen 100 and the transmission of the processed data 101 along the at least one wristband 202 via at least one second communication interface 205 to at least one smart screen 100, preferably to at least one first communication interface 105.

[0054] According to an embodiment, the second communication interface 205 may take the form of a transparent / semi-transparent interface, such as an optical fiber 230, for transmitting the processed data to the smart screen via the first communication interface 105.

[0055] According to a variant, the second interface can take the form of an electromagnetic waveguide 230, an acoustic waveguide 230, and an electrical conductor 230, for transmitting the processed data 101 to the smart screen 100 via the first communication interface 105 through electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves, and electrical signals.

[0056] The latter, namely, the first communication interface 105 is integrated into the smart screen 100 and can cooperate with the second communication interface 205 to, for example, transmit the processed data 101 to the receiver 120. Therefore, the processed data 101 can be transmitted between the smart screen 100 and the smart wristband 200, preferably between the first communication interface 105 and the second communication interface 205.

[0057] In practice, the transmission support 230 can transmit the processed data 101 along the wristband 202 to at least the smart screen 100. More specifically, the processed data 101 is preferably transmitted from the second communication interface 205 to at least one smart screen 100 via at least one first communication interface 105. In practice, the second communication interface 205 can communicate with the first communication interface 105 and / or with the smart screen 100, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this allows the processed data 101 to be transmitted between the second communication interface 205 and the first communication interface 105.

[0058] The smart screen 100 includes a display 110, a receiver 120, and a control unit 130. The receiver 120 is configured to receive processed data 101, and the control unit 130 is configured to control the display 110 based on the processed data 101. As described above, the present invention can take the form of a precious or synthetic gemstone and / or jewelry 300 including the smart screen 100. Therefore, unlike the smart screen 100, with the proposed arrangement, the precious or synthetic gemstone and / or jewelry 300 can occasionally display information related to the processed data 101, and when not displaying information, the precious or synthetic gemstone and / or jewelry 300 gives the appearance of an elegant gemstone watch 400 or elegant jewelry 400 on the wrist through decorative elements 299.

[0059] The receiver 120 may include a radio frequency receiver 120, so that at least one receiver 120 receives the processed data 101 via a radio frequency signal. Alternatively, the receiver 120 may be in the form of an ultrasonic receiver 120, an inductive receiver 120, an electrical receiver 120, and / or at least one optical receiver 120, so that the at least one receiver 120 receives the processed data 101 via an ultrasonic signal, an inductive signal, a current signal, a voltage signal, and / or an optical signal.

[0060] Once inserted into the smart wristband 200, the smart screen 100 can slide along the smart wristband 200 via at least one slider 140 included in the at least one smart wristband 200. For example, the slider 140 may be in the form of a bearing, allowing the at least one smart screen 100 to slide along the at least one smart wristband 200.

[0061] As described above, components for the smart screen 100 can be provided, including the smart screen 100 on the smart wristband 200 or on a group of smart wristbands 200 of the aforementioned type. For this purpose, a communication method 500 is provided, which allows the smart wristband 200 to communicate with the smart screen 100.

[0062] To achieve this objective, the communication method 500 includes at least one step 510 of indicating the number of smart wristbands 200 and / or the number of smart screens 100 in the components of the smart wristband 200.

[0063] Once the quantity is indicated, the method includes at least one step 530 of allocating data to be processed and / or processed data 101 between the smart wristband 200 and / or the smart screen 100, such that the wristband 202, i.e., the smart screen 100 having the at least one smart wristband 200, can allocate the data to be processed between the smart wristbands 200 and / or allocate the processed data 101 between the smart screens 100. The processed data 101 can be presented as a processed data set 600, which is transmitted between the at least one smart wristband 200 and / or between the smart screens 100. The processed data set 600 includes at least one address 121 and at least one piece of processed data to facilitate communication between the smart wristband 200 and the at least one smart screen 100.

[0064] Therefore, the processed data group 600 and / or the processed data 101 are allocated to the components of the smart wristband 200 or to the smart screen 100 or the components of the smart screen 100 that can move on the smart wristband 200. Thus, the processed data group 600 is centralized and / or the processed data 101 is centralized, or they are allocated to the components of the smart screen 100.

[0065] A multiplexing algorithm or the communication method 500 is provided to ensure that the processed data 101 is addressed to at least one smart screen 100. Therefore, the processed data group 600 can be configured, for example, into three parts. The first part activates at least one of the components of the at least one smart screen 100; the second part includes, for example, time-related data; and the third part indicates the end of the data group 600 and places the components of the at least one smart screen 100 in standby mode.

[0066] A processing unit 210 for calculating time and / or date is integrated into the wristband 202.
