[0043] The invention provides an anti-theft method for a smart watch.

[0044] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-theft method of the smart watch 100 includes:

[0045] Step S100, obtaining status information of the smart watch;

[0046] Step S200, if the state information is not worn, the anti-theft mode of the smart watch is turned on, the smart watch is located, and the location information is sent to the mobile terminal;

[0047] Step S300, when the anti-theft mode is turned on for a preset time, the self-destruct mode of the smart watch is turned on to make the smart watch self-destruct.

[0048] The technical solution of the present invention determines whether to turn on the anti-theft mode by obtaining the status information of the smart watch 100, wherein the status information of the smart watch 100 includes the wearing state and the non-wearing state. When the wearing information of the smart watch 100 is obtained as the non-wearing state, the smart watch 100 turns on the anti-theft mode. In the anti-theft mode, the smart watch 100 will locate itself and send the positioning information obtained by its positioning to the mobile terminal (for example, mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops and other devices). The user can view the positioning information of the watch through the mobile terminal and find the smart watch 100 according to the positioning information. It is simple and convenient to retrieve. When the anti-theft mode is turned on for a preset time (for example, 60 minutes), the smart watch 100 turns on the self-destruct mode. In the self-destruct mode, the smart watch 100 will self-destruct. After the smart watch 100 self-destructs, the personal privacy information stored on the smart watch 100 can be prevented from falling into the hands of others, thereby avoiding the leakage of personal privacy information and protecting the personal privacy security of the user.

[0049] See also Figure 2 Based on the first embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, after step S200, the method further includes:

[0050] Step A200, determining whether the smart watch has received verification information;

[0051] Step A300, if yes, compare the verification information with the standard information;

[0052] Step A310, when the verification information is consistent with the standard information, turning off the anti-theft mode;

[0053] Step A320: If the verification information is inconsistent with the standard information, execute step S300.

[0054] Specifically, after the anti-theft mode is turned on, if the user retrieves the smart watch 100 according to the location information obtained on the mobile terminal, the verification information can be input or sent to the smart watch 100. When the smart watch 100 obtains the verification information, the verification information is compared with the standard information. If the verification information is consistent with the standard information, the anti-theft mode is turned off, indicating that the verification information is correct and there is no need to continue to turn on the anti-theft mode; if the verification information is inconsistent with the standard information, it indicates that the verification information is wrong and the anti-theft mode needs to be maintained. It can be understood that the standard information can be standard verification information stored in the smart watch 100, such as a password, fingerprint, etc. After the smart watch 100 turns off the anti-theft mode, it can avoid the smart watch 100 from turning on the self-destruct mode after the anti-theft mode is turned on for a preset period of time, avoiding the smart watch 100 from continuing to self-destruct after being retrieved, and reducing the inconvenience caused by the self-destruction of the smart watch 100 due to temporary loss.

[0055] See also Figure 2 Based on the second embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, before step A200, the method further includes:

[0056] Step A100, input a password into the smart watch, and use the password as the verification information.

[0057] Specifically, the anti-theft mode is turned off by the user inputting a password to the smart watch 100 to input verification information to the smart watch 100, which is simple and convenient and easy for the user to operate. It can be understood that the corresponding standard information is a standard password, such as an unlocking password set by the user on the smart watch in advance.

[0058] See also Figure 3 Based on the second embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, before step A200, the method further includes:

[0059] Step B100, inputting a password into the mobile terminal and using the password as the verification information;

[0060] Step B110: the mobile terminal sends the verification information to the smart watch.

[0061] Specifically, a communication connection is established between the mobile terminal and the smart watch 100. The user inputs a password to the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can send verification information to the smart watch 100, so that the smart watch 100 can obtain the verification information to turn off the anti-theft mode, which is simple and convenient. The anti-theft mode of the smart watch 100 can be turned off when the user has obtained the location information of the smart watch 100 and searches for the smart watch 100 according to the location information, but fails to find the smart watch 100 within the preset time. It avoids turning on the self-destruct mode after the anti-theft mode is turned on for a certain period of time, which is more reasonable and humane. It can be understood that the corresponding standard information is a standard password, such as an unlock password set by the user on the smart watch 100 in advance.

[0062] Based on the first embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S200 further includes:

[0063] Step S210: the smart watch issues an alarm and sends a warning message to the mobile terminal.

[0064] Specifically, when the smart watch 100 is in anti-theft mode, the smart watch 100 will sound an alarm and send a warning message to the mobile terminal to prompt that the smart watch 100 is lost. When the smart watch 100 is lost, the user can determine the location of the smart watch 100 according to the alarm, which is convenient for the user to find the smart watch 100. It can be understood that the alarm can be sound, light or a combination, etc., and the warning can be a voice warning, a call warning, a text warning, etc.

[0065] Based on the fifth embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S210 includes:

[0066] Step S311: the smart watch issues a sound alarm and a light alarm, and sends a warning message to the mobile terminal.

[0067] Specifically, the sound alarm and the light alarm can be intuitively obtained by the user, thereby more effectively reminding the user that the smart watch 100 is lost, and can more effectively help the user determine the location of the smart watch 100, making it easier for the user to find the smart watch 100.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a warning light 70 is provided on the dial 10, and a light alarm can be issued through the warning light 70.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S300 includes:

[0070] Step S110, when the anti-theft mode is turned on for a preset time, the self-destruct mode of the smart watch is turned on, so that the smart watch heats itself and self-destructs.

[0071] Specifically, the smart watch 100 is heated. When the internal structure of the smart watch 100 is heated to a critical temperature, the internal structure of the smart watch 100 will be destroyed, making the smart watch 100 unable to operate, thereby achieving self-destruction of the smart watch 100, which is simple and convenient.

[0072] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a warning light 70 is provided on the dial 10 , and a heating element 60 is provided inside the dial 10 , and the smart watch 100 itself can be heated by the heating element 60 .

[0073] The present invention also proposes an anti-theft system for a smart watch 100, the anti-theft system for the smart watch 100 comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the computer program being configured to implement the steps of the anti-theft method for the smart watch 100. The specific method of the anti-theft method for the smart watch 100 is referred to the above embodiment, and since the anti-theft system for the smart watch 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0074] Furthermore, the anti-theft system may include: a processor, such as a CPU, and a memory 1005, the memory may be a high-speed RAM memory, or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory. The memory may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor.

[0075] It is understandable that the anti-theft system may also include RF (Radio Frequency) circuits, sensors, audio circuits, WiFi modules, and the like. The behavior recognition device may also include a display screen, which is used to display a UI (User Interface). The UI may include graphics, text, icons, videos, and any combination thereof. When the display screen is a touch screen, the display screen also has the ability to collect touch signals on the surface or above the surface of the display screen. The touch signal may be input to a processor as a control signal for processing.

[0076] The present invention also proposes a smart watch 100, which includes a controller and an anti-theft system of the smart watch 100. The specific method of the anti-theft system of the smart watch 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the smart watch 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, a receiving groove 20 with a notch facing downward is provided at the bottom of the dial 10 of the smart watch 100, and a contact 40 electrically connected to the processor is provided on the top wall of the receiving groove 20 opposite to the notch, and a pressing block 50 is provided in the receiving groove 20, and the pressing block 50 is connected to the top wall through an elastic member 30; the pressing block 50 is pushed to abut against the contact 40 when the smart watch 100 is in a worn state, so that the processor obtains the state information of the smart watch 100 in the worn state, and the elastic member 30 is compressed and contracted; the pressing block 50 is also pushed to disengage from the contact 40 by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 30 when the smart watch 100 is in a not-worn state, so that the processor obtains the state information of the smart watch 100 in the not-worn state.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a receiving groove 20 is provided at the bottom of the dial 10 of the smart watch 100, and a contact 40 electrically connected to the smart watch 100 is provided on the top wall of the receiving groove 20, and a pressing block 50 that can move up and down is also provided in the receiving groove 20. When the smart watch 100 is worn on the wrist of the user and is in the wearing state, the wrist presses the pressing block 50 upward, so that the pressing block 50 moves upward in the direction close to the contact 40 to compress the elastic member 30 and abut against the contact 40, and the smart watch 100 can obtain the state information of the smart watch 100 in the wearing state; when the smart watch 100 is taken off the wrist of the user and is in the unworn state, the pressing block 50 is separated from the pressing of the wrist, and the spring will recover and push the pressing block 50 to move downward in the direction away from the contact 40, so that the pressing block 50 is separated from the contact 40. After the pressing block 50 is separated from the contact 40, the smart watch 100 can obtain the state information of the smart watch 100 in the unworn state, and the structure is simple. Through the cooperation of the contact 40 and the pressing block 50 , the smart watch 100 can accurately obtain its own status information, which is a clever design.

[0079] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
