Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present specification relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a wearable device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With people paying more and more attention to sports health, heart rate during exercise gradually becomes an indispensable detection index for people. Through understanding the heart rate change of the exerciser, the exerciser can better grasp their own health status, and can also adjust the exercise intensity according to the heart rate to guide the training plan and gradually improve the exercise performance.

[0003] People often use a heart rate belt to detect the heart rate during exercise. In use, the heart rate belt needs to be close to the skin, so that the two electrocardio electrodes on the heart rate belt can collect the potential difference of the potential at the location to obtain an electrocardio signal. Since the electrocardio electrodes need to be close to the skin, the heart rate belt needs to be taken off or lifted up when worn, which has a high requirement for the privacy of the wearing scene. At the same time, in order to ensure the adhesion of the electrocardio electrodes to the skin, the heart rate belt is often made of a high-elasticity substrate through warp knitting or weft knitting, but the wearing comfort of the heart rate belt obtained based on this is low. In addition, static electricity will be generated due to the contact between the heart rate belt and the clothes, which will affect the potential value collected by the two electrocardio electrodes, thereby affecting the obtained electrocardio signal and causing interference.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a wearable device that can expand the wearing scene of the exercise heart rate monitoring device, improve the wearing comfort of the user, and at the same time avoid static electricity generated between the heart rate belt and the clothes, and ensure the accuracy of the obtained electrocardio signal. SUMMARY

Through the foregoing arrangement, the monitoring device for collecting the electrical signal generated by the body of the user can be arranged on the outer surface of the top, which expands the wearing scene of the monitoring device, for example, on the basis of wearing the wearable device, the monitoring device can be worn or taken off in any scene. At the same time, static electricity generated by the constant friction between the monitoring device and the clothes during exercise can be avoided, the accuracy of the collected electrical signal can be ensured, the direct contact between the monitoring device and the skin can be avoided, and the wearing comfort of the user is improved.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first region includes two first conductive regions, each of which is disposed on the chest of the shirt or on the waist of the shirt, and each of which is located on the two sides of the median sagittal plane of the user's body when the user wears the shirt, so as to ensure that the electrical signals generated by the user's body can be acquired and the quality of the acquired electrical signals is improved.

[0007] In some embodiments, the second region includes two second conductive regions, one of which is electrically connected to one of the two first conductive regions, and the other of which is electrically connected to the other of the two first conductive regions; for each second conductive region, the second conductive region and the first conductive region electrically connected to the second conductive region are at least partially overlapped in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. It can be understood that the material of the region where the conductive electrode is disposed and the other regions of the shirt may have certain heterogeneity in terms of touch feeling, and through this arrangement, the area with heterogeneity can be reduced, and the comfort of the user when wearing can be improved. In addition, this arrangement can also ensure that the wearable device is compatible with various monitoring devices on the market, avoiding the need for the user to purchase a separate monitoring device compatible with the wearable device, thereby reducing the user's use cost.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first region and the second region are woven by mixing the insulating wire and the conductive wire to improve the integration of the wearable device and improve the wearing comfort.

[0013] In some embodiments, the conductive wire is made of at least a conductive fiber wrapped around an elastic fiber, or the conductive wire is made by coating an elastic film outside the conductive fiber, so as to ensure the comfort and integration of the upper garment.

[0016] In some embodiments, each conductive patch includes a plurality of sub-conductive electrodes and a wire electrically connecting the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes. Through the foregoing arrangement, when the upper garment deforms, the wire can also deform correspondingly, ensuring the integration of the conductive patch and the upper garment, improving the softness of the corresponding region of the conductive patch, and also increasing the friction between the conductive patch and other parts to prevent relative sliding.

[0038] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present specification, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the embodiment description. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some examples or embodiments of the present specification, and for those skilled in the art, the present specification can also be applied to other similar scenarios without creative labor. Unless it is clear from the language context or otherwise indicated, the same reference numbers in the drawings represent the same structure or operation.

[0039] It should be understood that the "system", "device", "unit" and / or "module" used herein is a method for distinguishing different components, elements, parts, sections or assemblies at different levels. However, if other words can achieve the same purpose, the words can be replaced by other expressions.

[0040] As shown in the specification and claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, "a", "an", "one", and / or "this" do not refer to the singular, but can also include the plural. Generally, the terms "comprise" and "include" only indicate the inclusion of the steps and elements explicitly identified, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list, and the method or device can also include other steps or elements.

[0041] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a wearable device according to some embodiments of the present specification.

[0042] The application scenario 100 of the wearable device (hereinafter referred to as the application scenario 100) can be used to monitor the electrical signal generated by the user's body. The electrical signal generated by the user's body can include the electrocardiosignal of the user 110. The electrical signal generated by the user's body can also include other content, for example, can also include the electromyosignal of the user 110.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the application scenario 100 of the wearable device includes a user 110, a monitoring device 130, a wearable device 120, a network 140, and a terminal device 150. The user can wear the wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 can be provided with the monitoring device 130 electrically connected thereto. The monitoring device 130 can receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body through the wearable device 120 and perform monitoring, and transmit to the terminal device 150 through the network 140.

[0044] The user 110 refers to the object who needs to monitor the electrical signal generated by the user's body.

[0045] The wearable device 120 is a device used to assist in monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body. As shown in Figure 1 , the user 110 can wear the wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body (not shown in the figure) to the monitoring device 130 for monitoring by the monitoring device 130. In some embodiments, the wearable device 120 can include a shirt with a conductive electrode. When the user 110 wears the aforementioned shirt, the conductive electrode is electrically connected to the detection device, and the conductive electrode can transmit the electrical signal received by the inner surface of the shirt to the monitoring device 130 for monitoring by the monitoring device 130. More about the above embodiment can be found in the relevant description below in this specification, for example, Figure 2 and the related description.

[0046] The monitoring device 130 refers to the device for monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body. It can be understood that when different electrical signals are monitored, the corresponding monitoring device 130 can be different. For example, when the electrocardiosignal generated by the user's body needs to be monitored, the monitoring device 130 can be a heart rate strap. For another example, when the electromyosignal generated by the user's body needs to be monitored, the monitoring device 130 can be an electromyosignal monitoring strap. As shown in Figure 1 , one monitoring device 130 can be provided on the wearable device 120. Multiple same or different monitoring devices 130 can also be provided on the wearable device 120.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the monitoring device 130 can be disposed on the outer surface of the wearable device 120 to facilitate receiving the electrical signal generated by the user's body transmitted by the wearable device 120. The monitoring device 130 can be provided with a plurality of electrodes, which can be connected with the conductive electrodes of the wearable device 120 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body. For example, when the monitoring device 130 is a heart rate strap, the heart rate strap can be provided with two electrodes, which are connected with different areas of the wearable device 120 to obtain the electrical potential of different positions of the user's body, and the electrical potential difference between the two positions can be used to obtain the electrocardiogram of the user 110.

[0048] The network 140 can connect the components of the application scenario 100 (e.g., the terminal device 150, the monitoring device 130, etc.) and / or connect the application scenario 100 with external resource parts. The network 140 can enable communication between the components of the application scenario 100 and other parts outside the application scenario 100, and facilitate exchange of data and / or information. For example, the terminal device 150 can obtain the electrical signal generated by the user's body collected by the monitoring device 130 through the network 140.

[0049] The network 140 can be any form of wired or wireless network, or any combination thereof. For example only, the network 140 can include a cable network, a wireline network, a fiber-optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless local area network (WLAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a Bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a near-field communication (NFC) network, etc., or any combination thereof. The network 140 can include at least one network access point, through which at least one component of the application scenario 100 can connect to the network 140 to exchange data and / or information. For example, the collected electrical signal generated by the user's body can be transmitted through the network 140.

[0050] The terminal device 150 refers to a device and / or software used by a user related to the application scenario 100. The user related to the application scenario 100 includes, but is not limited to, the user 110, a doctor (e.g., a clinician, a radiotherapist), a nurse, and the like. For example, the terminal device 150 can be a device or software for controlling the monitoring device 130. The user can issue a control instruction to the monitoring device 130 through the terminal device 150, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body. For example, the terminal device 150 can send the control instruction input by the user to the monitoring device 130 through the network 140, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body 110. In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can obtain the electrical signal generated by the user's body 110 collected by the monitoring device 130 through the network 140. In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can be one or any combination of a mobile device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and the like other devices with input and / or output functions.

[0051] It should be noted that the foregoing description of the application scenario 100 is merely for example and illustration, and does not limit the scope of the present specification. Various modifications and changes can be made to the application scenario 100 under the guidance of the present specification. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of the present specification. For example, the application scenario 100 can further include a storage device (not shown in the figure), and the foregoing storage device can store data, instructions, and / or any other information (e.g., the foregoing storage device can store data obtained from the monitoring device 130 and / or the terminal device 150). For another example, the components in the application scenario 100 can be integrated together or independently arranged (e.g., the foregoing storage device can be arranged in the terminal device 150).

[0052] Figure 2 is an exemplary structural block diagram of a wearable device according to some embodiments of the present specification.

[0053] The wearable device 200 can assist the monitoring device (e.g., the monitoring device 130 shown in the figure) in monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body. Figure 1

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the wearable device 200 includes a shirt 210 with a conductive electrode 220. The shirt 210 includes an inner surface in contact with the user's skin and an outer surface away from the skin; the conductive electrode 220 is arranged on the shirt 210, and the conductive electrode 220 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body from the inner surface of the shirt 210 to the outer surface.

[0055] ​In use, the user can first wear the wearable device 200, and then wear the monitoring device on the outer surface of the wearable device 200, and collect the electrical signal transmitted to the outer surface through the monitoring device.

[0056] The upper garment 210 refers to various clothes that can receive the electrical signal (e.g., electrocardiogram signal) generated by the user's body. For example, the upper garment 210 can be a T-shirt, sports underwear, etc. In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 can be made of soft and close-fitting high-elastic fabric to ensure that the monitoring device disposed in the upper garment 210 can be closely attached to the user's skin, thereby ensuring the monitoring accuracy of the monitoring device. For example, the fabric of the upper garment 210 can include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, etc.), animal fibers (e.g., wool, etc.), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, polyester, etc.), etc. In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 can generate corresponding deformation based on the user's action changes. For example, when the user breathes, the upper garment 210 can deform with the user's inhaling and exhaling actions, thereby ensuring that the conductive electrode 220 disposed in the upper garment 210 can be closely attached to the user's skin at any time.

[0057] In some embodiments, the inner surface is provided with a first area 211, and the outer surface is provided with a second area 212. The upper garment 210 can receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body through the first area 211, the first area 211 and the second area 212 are electrically connected through the conductive electrode 220, and the second area 212 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body to the external electrode. More details about the first area 211, the second area 212, the conductive electrode 220, and the external electrode can be referred to the relevant description below in this specification.

[0058] In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 further includes an anti-slip area. The anti-slip area can increase the friction between the corresponding area and the skin to prevent relative sliding with the skin.

[0059] The anti-slip area can be of any shape. For example, the shape of the anti-slip area can include one or more of, but not limited to, a square, a circle, a circular ring, a triangle, and a corrugated shape, etc. The anti-slip area can be a complete area, or can include a plurality of relatively independent sub-anti-slip areas, and the shapes of the plurality of relatively independent sub-anti-slip areas can be the same or different.

[0060] The anti-slip region is arranged on the inner surface of the upper garment 210 to avoid relative sliding between the first region 211 and the skin. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be located within the first region 211. When the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, the shape and area of the anti-slip region can be the same as or different from the first region 211. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can also be a surrounding region of the first region 211. For example, the anti-slip region can be arranged around the edges of the first region 211. The anti-slip region can also be arranged on the inner surface of the upper garment 210 in other ways. For example, the anti-slip region can be partially located within the first region 211 and partially arranged outside the first region 211.

[0061] In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be arranged in various ways to achieve its anti-slip effect. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be knitted from anti-slip threads. The aforementioned anti-slip threads can be made of one or more anti-slip materials. For example, the anti-slip threads can be made of one or more of silicone, polyvinyl chloride, etc. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region is coated with an anti-slip material. For example, when the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, an anti-slip material can be coated on part of the first region 211 to form the anti-slip region. The aforementioned anti-slip material can include but is not limited to silicone, rubber, polyvinyl chloride, etc.

[0062] Some embodiments of the present specification can increase the friction between the first region 211 and the skin by arranging the anti-slip region, prevent relative sliding between the first region 211 and the skin, and thus increase the stability of the first region 211 in receiving the electrical signals generated by the user's body, avoiding fluctuations in the electrical signals generated by the user's body caused by relative sliding.

[0063] The conductive electrode 220 is configured to electrically connect the first region 211 of the inner surface and the second region 212 of the outer surface. In some embodiments, the first region 211 of the inner surface can be the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin, i.e., the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin constitutes part of the inner surface of the upper garment 210. The second region 212 of the outer surface can be the region where the conductive electrode 220 faces away from the skin, i.e., the region where the conductive electrode 220 faces away from the skin constitutes part of the outer surface of the upper garment 210. The electrical signals generated by the user's body can be transmitted to the second region 212 of the outer surface through the conductive electrode 220 via the first region 211 of the inner surface, and transmitted to the external electrode through the second region 212. The aforementioned external electrode refers to the electrode of the monitoring device. For example, when the monitoring device is a heart rate strap, the external electrode is the electrode of the heart rate strap.

[0064] The first area 211 is configured to receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body. It can be understood that when collecting the electrical signal generated by the user's body, the first area 211 needs to be arranged at the corresponding area of the body to ensure the accuracy of the electrical signal received by the first area 211. For example, when collecting the electrocardio signal, the first area 211 needs to be arranged at the area (such as the chest or waist) of the body where the electrocardio signal can be collected.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first area 211 includes two first conductive areas 2111, which are located on both sides of the median plane of the user's body when the user wears the upper garment 210. The sizes and shapes of the two first conductive areas 2111 can be the same or different.

[0066] As shown in Figure 5 , the median plane of the human body refers to a plane passing through the median line 510 of the human body and dividing the human body into two equal or approximately equal parts. Among them, the median line 510 of the human body can be determined according to the line connecting the tip of the nose of the human body to the middle of the two nipples, the line connecting the middle of the two nipples to the middle of the navel of the abdomen, or the line connecting the middle of the navel of the abdomen to the middle of the pubic symphysis joint.

[0067] In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the median plane. In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can also be asymmetrically arranged relative to the median plane, and when the two first conductive areas 2111 are asymmetrically arranged relative to the median plane, the distance difference between the two first conductive areas 2111 and the median plane is less than a preset distance threshold. For example, the distance threshold can range from 100 to 300 mm, and the preset distance threshold can be selected within the foregoing range according to the difference of the user, for example, different preset distance thresholds can be determined according to the size (for example, the number of sizes) of the upper garment 210. When the size of the upper garment 210 is larger, the determined preset distance threshold can be larger; when the size of the upper garment 210 is smaller, the determined preset distance threshold can be smaller, so as to ensure the monitoring effect of users of different body types. By limiting the arrangement position of the two first conductive areas 2111 relative to the median plane, the motion artifact of the two conductive electrodes 220 can have better consistency, which is beneficial to the elimination of the motion artifact, for example, the motion artifact in the electrocardio signal can be eliminated through a differential amplification circuit, so as to improve the quality of the electrocardio signal.

[0068] In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can be arranged at the chest of the upper garment 210. The median plane of the human body can divide the chest area of the human body into a left chest area and a right chest area. As shown in Figure 3A , one first conductive area 2111 can be arranged at the left chest area of the upper garment 210, and the other first conductive area 2111 can be arranged at the right chest area of the upper garment 210.

[0069] In some embodiments, two first conductive regions 2111 can be disposed at the waist of the shirt 210. The median sagittal plane of the human body can divide the waist region of the human body into a left waist region and a right waist region. As shown, one first conductive region 2111 can be disposed at the left waist region of the shirt 210, and the other first conductive region 2111 can be disposed at the right waist region of the shirt 210. By way of example only, when the user wears the shirt 210, the two first conductive regions 2111 respectively fit the iliac bones and the regions close to the iliac bones on both sides of the centerline of the torso. Figure 3B

[0070] The second region 212 is configured to connect external electrodes.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second region 212 includes two second conductive regions 2121, which can be the same or different in size and shape. One of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to one of the two first conductive regions 2111, and the other of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to the other of the two first conductive regions 2111. Each second conductive region 2121 can receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body through the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121.

[0072] The position of the second conductive region 2121 needs to correspond to the position of the electrode in the monitoring device after the user wears the monitoring device, so that the electrical signal generated by the user is transmitted to the monitoring device through the second conductive region 2121. The shape and size of the second conductive region 2121 can be the same as or different from the shape of the electrode in the monitoring device. For example, the shape of the second conductive region 2121 can be the same as the shape of the electrode in the monitoring device, and the area of the second conductive region 2121 can be greater than the area of the electrode in the monitoring device.

[0073] When the monitoring device is a heart rate strap, after the user wears the wearable device 200 and the heart rate strap, one of the two electrodes on the heart rate strap can be electrically connected to one of the two second conductive regions 2121, and the other electrode on the heart rate strap can be electrically connected to the other second conductive region 2121, so that the electrical signal generated by the user's body is collected through the second conductive region 2121.

[0074] In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 have at least partial overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. Wherein the axial direction of the user's body is the direction perpendicular to the ground when the human body stands, for example, Figure 5 ​the direction indicated by the arrow X shown in FIG. 2; the circumferential direction of the user's body is the direction around the human body when the human body stands, for example, Figure 5 the direction indicated by the arrow Y shown in FIG. 2.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto can completely overlap in the position along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. When both first conductive regions 2111 are arranged on the chest of the upper garment 210 or on the waist of the upper garment 210, the size and position of the two second conductive regions 2121 arranged on the outer surface of the upper garment 210 can respectively completely correspond to the two first conductive regions 2111.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto can partially overlap in the position along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, Figure 4A For the outer surface of the upper garment 210, for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto partially overlap in the position along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. It should be noted that in order to illustrate the positional relationship between the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111, the first conductive region 2111 is represented in the form of a dashed line in Figure 4A and Figure 4B the outer surface of the upper garment 210 shown in FIG. 2, and the first conductive region 2111 is actually located on the inner surface of the upper garment 210.

[0077] Some embodiments of the present specification facilitate the electrical connection between the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121 corresponding thereto by arranging the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto to at least partially overlap in the position along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. At the same time, this arrangement can also reduce the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the upper garment 210. It can be understood that the region where the conductive electrode 220 is arranged and other regions of the upper garment 210 can have certain heterogeneity in terms of touch. By reducing the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the upper garment 210, the area with heterogeneity can also be reduced, improving the comfort of the user when wearing. In addition, this arrangement can also ensure that the wearable device 200 is compatible with various different monitoring devices on the market, avoiding the need for the user to purchase a separate monitoring device compatible with the wearable device 200, reducing the user's use cost.

[0078] In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 do not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, Figure 4B For the outer surface of the upper garment 210, both second conductive regions 2121 are arranged on the waist of the outer surface, and both first conductive regions 2111 are arranged on the chest of the outer surface. The second conductive regions 2121 and the first conductive regions 2111 do not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body.

[0079] Some embodiments of the present specification can make the position of the second region 212 more flexible by arranging the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 to not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body, while achieving the collection of the electrical signals generated by the user's body. As described above, the position of the second conductive region 2121 corresponds to the position of the electrode in the monitoring device. Therefore, the position of the second conductive region 2121 can be arranged to meet different needs. For example, the second region 212 can be arranged on the back of the user's waist to reduce the foreign body sensation when the user uses the monitoring device and improve comfort. For another example, the second region 212 can be arranged on the back of the user to avoid contact or collision with the monitoring device when the user moves, which affects the accuracy of the collected electrical signals.

[0080] In some embodiments, a friction-enhancing region containing a concave-convex structure is arranged between the two second conductive regions 2121. For example, the woven pattern of the cloth between the two second conductive regions 2121 of the upper garment 210 is a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure can increase the contact area of the corresponding region with the monitoring device in all directions. No matter which direction the force comes from, the corrugated structure can provide good grip, thereby increasing the friction between the upper garment 210 and the monitoring device, reducing the relative sliding of the two, and improving the stability of the monitoring device when collecting electrical signals. In some alternative embodiments, the concave-convex structure can be an array of convex points made of anti-slip material or other patterns or patterns.

[0081] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 can be arranged in various manners to achieve the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. For example, the conductive electrode 220 can include one or more conductive wires based on which the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212 is achieved. For another example, the conductive electrode 220 can also include conductive patches arranged to at least partially adhere between the conductive patches of the first region 211 and the conductive patches of the second region 212, thereby achieving the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. More details about the arrangement of the conductive electrode 220 can be found in the relevant description below.

[0082] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 can be arranged in the same or different manners in the two groups of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121. For example, the two groups of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 are both achieved by conductive wires. For another example, one group of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 is achieved by conductive wires, and the other group of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 is achieved by conductive patches.

[0083] Some embodiments of the present specification can receive the electrical signals generated by the user's body through the upper garment 210, and transmit the electrical signals from the inner surface of the upper garment 210 to the outer surface through the conductive electrode 220, so that the electrical signals can be collected by the electrodes of the monitoring device. This arrangement can expand the wearing scenarios of the monitoring device. For example, based on wearing the wearable device 200, the monitoring device can be worn or removed in any scenario. Meanwhile, wearing the monitoring device on the outer surface of the upper garment 210 can avoid the generation of static electricity due to the constant friction between the monitoring device and the clothes during movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the collected electrical signals. In addition, the direct contact between the monitoring device and the skin can also be avoided, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0084] Some embodiments of the present specification will be described below in terms of the implementation of the conductive electrode arranged by the conductive wire.

[0085] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 includes one or more conductive wires 221, a first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221 is located on the outer surface, and a second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 extends to the inner surface and is electrically connected to the first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121 corresponding to the first conductive region 2111. Optionally, the first conductive region 2111 can be formed by the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221, and the second conductive region 2121 can be formed by the first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221. Alternatively, the first conductive region 2111 and / or the second conductive region 2121 can be formed by other conductive materials other than the conductive wire 221, and the first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 are respectively electrically connected to the first conductive region 2111 and / or the second conductive region 2121 to achieve conduction of the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121.

[0086] In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 can be provided with elasticity to ensure the comfort and integrity of the shirt 210.

[0087] The conductive wire 221 can be provided with elasticity in various ways. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made of at least conductive fibers and elastic fibers (e.g., polyurethane, polyether ester type spandex, rubber thread, etc.). The conductive wire can only include conductive fibers (e.g., metal fibers, conductive polymer fibers, etc.) and elastic fibers. The conductive wire can also include insulating wires (e.g., cotton threads) to ensure the comfort of the shirt 210. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made by coating the conductive fibers with an elastic film. For example, before being coated with the elastic film, the conductive fibers can be pre-stretched (e.g., placed in a curved structure). Coating the conductive fibers with the elastic film on this basis can make the final conductive wire extensible. The aforementioned elastic film can include but is not limited to polyurethane film, polyester-spandex film, and rubber film, etc.

[0088] The first region 211 and the second region 212 at least include regions formed by weaving insulating wires 213 and / or elastic wires.

[0089] In some embodiments, in order to make the first region 211 and the second region 212 conductive, the conductive wire 221 can be further woven on the regions formed by weaving the insulating wires 213 and / or the elastic wires, and the conductive wire 221 can be woven on the inner surface and the outer surface, thereby forming the electrically connected first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221-2. For example, Figure 6As shown, the first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221 includes the portion of the conductive wire 221 located on the outer surface, and the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 includes the portion of the conductive wire 221 located on the inner surface. The first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221-2 are electrically connected by the conductive wire 221 shuttling inside the woven area, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first area 211 and the second area 212.

[0090] To achieve the structure of the wearable device 200 described in the above embodiments, the weaving process of the wearable device 200 can be: first, weaving the upper garment 210 based on at least the insulating wire 213, and then weaving each of the one or more conductive wires 221 on the inner surface and the outer surface of the upper garment 210, thereby obtaining the wearable device 200.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 is woven into a corrugated structure in the first area 211. The corrugated structure can increase the contact area of the first area 211 with the skin in various directions. No matter which direction the force comes from, the corrugated structure can provide better grip, thereby increasing the friction between the first area 211 and the skin, reducing the relative sliding between the two, and improving the stability of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device.

[0092] Some embodiments of the present specification can rework various different clothes by setting the conductive electrode 220 as the conductive wire 221 woven on the inner surface and the outer surface, and electrically connecting the inner surface to the outer surface. The wearable device 200 produced in this way has low cost, simple process, and high adaptability.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can be formed by mixed weaving of the insulating wire 213 and the conductive wire 221. The above-mentioned mixed weaving can include mixed weaving and woven mixing. Mixed weaving can refer to mixing a base material (for example, an insulating wire) and a special material (for example, a conductive wire) to form an integrated woven wire. For example, Figure 7The upper garment 210 is knitted by the knitted yarns made of 4 conductive yarns 221 and 12 insulating yarns 213. In the non-designated areas (for example, the non-first area 211 and the non-second area 212), the upper garment 210 is knitted by the common knitted yarns (for example, the knitted yarns only including the insulating yarns). In the designated areas (for example, the first area 211 and the second area 212), the aforementioned integrated knitted yarns are selected for knitting, so that the corresponding areas obtain the corresponding performance (for example, the electrical conductivity). After the knitting is completed, the upper garment 210 is obtained. By mixing the knitted yarns in advance, the subsequent knitting steps can be simplified, the production difficulty is reduced, the special material-containing knitted yarns are pretreated, the proportion of the special material is more easily controlled, and the production quality is ensured. The knitting mixing can refer to that the upper garment 210 is knitted by the common knitted yarns. When the designated areas are knitted, the special material is added to the common knitted yarns for mixed knitting, or the common knitted yarns are replaced by the special material. After the knitting is completed, the upper garment 210 is obtained. When the designated areas are knitted, the number of the common knitted yarns can be correspondingly reduced to be consistent with the number of the knitted yarns in other areas of the upper garment 210, so as to ensure the integrity of the upper garment 210. For example, when the upper garment 210 is knitted by 4 common knitted yarns, two conductive yarns 221 are added when the first area 211 is knitted. At this time, the number of the common knitted yarns can be reduced to 2, so that the total number of the knitted yarns for knitting the first area 211 is 4, thereby being consistent with the number of the knitted yarns in other areas of the upper garment 210. The knitting mixing can improve the flexibility during production, the proportion of the special material can be adjusted at any time according to different needs, the knitted yarns do not need to be pretreated, the excess resource consumption caused by the pretreatment is reduced, and the knitting result is obtained more quickly.

[0094] To realize the structure of the wearable device 200 described in the above embodiments, the process of the mixed knitting of the wearable device 200 can be that when the areas of the non-first area 211 and the non-second area 212 of the upper garment 210 are generated on the knitting machine, the knitted yarns made of the insulating yarns 213 are selected for knitting. When the areas of the first area 211 and the second area 212 are generated on the knitting machine, the knitted yarns made of the conductive yarns 221 and the insulating yarns 213 are selected for knitting. After the whole upper garment 210 is knitted, the wearable device 200 is obtained. The process of the mixed knitting of the wearable device 200 can also be that when the areas of the non-first area 211 and the non-second area 212 of the upper garment 210 are generated on the knitting machine, the knitted yarns made of the insulating yarns 213 are selected for knitting. When the areas of the first area 211 and the second area 212 are generated on the knitting machine, the knitted yarns made of the conductive yarns 211 are added to the knitted yarns made of the insulating yarns 213 for knitting, and the number of the knitted yarns made of the insulating yarns 213 is correspondingly reduced, or the insulating yarns 213 are directly replaced by the conductive yarns 211 for knitting. After the whole upper garment 210 is knitted, the wearable device 200 is obtained.

[0095] Some embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the integration and wearing comfort of the wearable device 200 by weaving the first region 211 and the second region 212 with the conductive threads 221 and the insulating threads 213.

[0096] Some embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the integration and wearing comfort of the wearable device 200 by realizing the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212 with the conductive threads 221.

[0097] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below by way of the implementation of the conductive electrodes provided by the conductive patches.

[0098] In some embodiments, the conductive electrodes 220 include at least one set of conductive patches 222, and for each set of conductive patches 222, one conductive patch 222 in the set is arranged on the inner surface and the other conductive patch 222 in the set is arranged on the outer surface, and the electrical connection is realized by at least partial adhesion between the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface. For example, for each set of conductive patches 222, the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface in the set can be partially adhered to realize the electrical connection. For another example, for each set of conductive patches 222, the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface in the set can be completely adhered to realize the electrical connection.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 2, the first region 211 and the second region 212 of the shirt 210 can be provided with a through hole 214, one conductive patch 222 can be attached to the inner surface, and the other conductive patch 222 can be attached to the outer surface, and the two conductive patches are adhered at the position of the through hole 214 to realize the electrical connection, and the size of the through hole 214 affects the adhesion degree between the conductive patches 222. Figure 8

[0100] The conductive patch 222 can be of any shape, for example, the conductive patch 222 can be circular, rectangular, triangular or of other shapes. The conductive patch 222 can be arranged on the inner surface and the outer surface in various ways, for example, by gluing or sewing.

[0101] In some embodiments, the conductive patch 222 includes a conductive film or a metal electrode. The two conductive patches 222 in each set of conductive patches 222 can be adhered by a conductive medium (for example, conductive glue, conductive paste, conductive tape), so as to realize the electrical connection between the conductive patches 222.

[0102] ​In some embodiments, each conductive patch 222 includes a plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221, and wires 2222 electrically connecting the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221.

[0103] It can be understood that, since the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes are electrically connected by the wires 2222, when any one of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 on a conductive patch 222 receives an electrical signal, the electrical signal can be transmitted to other sub-conductive electrodes 2221 through the wires 2222, and an external electrode can receive an electrical signal generated by a user's body when the external electrode is electrically connected to any one or more of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221.

[0104] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 can be arranged in an array. As shown in FIG. 2B, the conductive patch 222 can include four sub-conductive electrodes 2221 arranged in an array, and the four sub-conductive electrodes 2221 are electrically connected by the wires 2222. Figure 9

[0105] In some embodiments, the wires 2222 connecting the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 can have an extension tension. For example, the wires 2222 can be elastic wires that can elastically stretch and contract along the axial direction of the wires 2222. The wires 2222 can be a mixed wire of a metal wire (for example, a silver wire or a copper wire) and an elastic wire (for example, a rubber wire). For another example, the wires 2222 connecting two sub-conductive electrodes 2221 have a certain bending, which can allow the wires 2222 to have a certain stretchability. Through the above arrangement, when the garment 210 deforms, the wires 2222 also deform correspondingly, ensuring the integrity of the conductive patch 222 and the garment 210, improving the softness of the corresponding area of the conductive patch 222, and also increasing the friction between the conductive patch 222 and other parts (for example, a monitoring device or skin), preventing relative sliding.

[0106] Some embodiments of the present specification achieve electrical connection between the first area 211 and the second area 222 by the conductive patch 222, and the arrangement method of the conductive electrode 220 has low production cost, simple process, and is easy to process and produce.

[0107] ​It is worth mentioning that water is conductive. After the user wears the wearable device 200, the first area 211 or the second area 212 can be conductive with other areas of the upper garment 210 through water (for example, rainwater, sweat), which will cause the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device to have greater noise, affecting the reliability of detection, and even the case that two first conductive areas (or second conductive areas) are conductive and the electrocardiogram signal cannot be detected. Based on this, some embodiments of the present specification set up the first area 211 and the second area 212 to be waterproof to avoid water from making the first area 211 or the second area 212 conductive with other areas of the upper garment 210, and to ensure the accuracy of the collected electrical signal.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can be processed by a waterproof structure 215 arranged around the first area 211 and the second area 212, so as to avoid water from making the first area 211 or the second area 212 conductive with other areas. In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can also be processed by a waterproof layer arranged on the first area 211 and the second area 212, so as to avoid water from making the first area 211 or the second area 212 conductive with other areas. In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can also be at least woven by an insulating wire and a waterproof fiber, so as to avoid water from making the first area 211 or the second area 212 conductive with other areas. For more information about the foregoing various waterproof setting embodiments, please refer to the relevant description hereinafter.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can be processed by a waterproof setting. In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can also be processed by multiple waterproof settings to avoid water from making the first area 211 or the second area 212 conductive with other areas to a greater extent. For example, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can be arranged around a waterproof structure 215, and at the same time, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can also be arranged with a waterproof layer, so as to make the first area 211 and the second area 212 have multiple waterproof settings.

[0110] Some embodiments of the present specification will describe various implementations of the waterproof setting hereinafter.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 are respectively arranged around a waterproof structure 215. Among them, the periphery of the foregoing first area 211 refers to the area of the inner surface of the upper garment 210 surrounding the first area 211, which can “separate” the first area 211 from other areas of the inner surface. The periphery of the second area 212 refers to the area of the outer surface of the upper garment 210 surrounding the second area 212, which can “separate” the second area 212 from other areas of the outer surface.

[0112] The waterproof structure 215 is used to prevent water from penetrating into the surrounding area of the first area 211 and the surrounding area of the second area 212.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first area 211 is connected to other areas of the shirt 210 through the waterproof structure 215. The aforementioned other areas can refer to areas of the shirt 210 other than the first area 211 and the second area 212. As shown, the first area 211 is surrounded by the waterproof structure 215, and the first area 211 is connected to other areas of the shirt 210 through the waterproof structure 215. With this arrangement, the first area 211 can be prevented from being electrically connected to other areas of the shirt 210 through water, reducing the noise of the electrical signals collected by the monitoring device and improving the accuracy of the obtained electrical signals. Figure 10

[0114] The waterproof arrangement that the first area 211 is connected to other areas of the shirt 210 through the waterproof structure 215 can be applied to various conductive electrode schemes described in the embodiments above. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is arranged through the conductive wire 221, the waterproof structure 215 can "separate" the first area 211 from other areas, preventing the areas arranged by the conductive electrode 220 (e.g., the first area 211, the second area 212) from being electrically connected to other areas of the shirt 210. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is arranged through the conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 can also "separate" the first area 211 from other areas, preventing the areas arranged by the conductive patch 222 (e.g., the first area 211, the second area 212) from being electrically connected to other areas of the shirt 210.

[0115] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can be obtained through various ways.

[0116] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can be made of waterproof fibers. The aforementioned waterproof fibers can be made of polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, etc. For example, when the shirt 210 is being produced, the surrounding area of the first area 211 can be woven with waterproof fibers to obtain the aforementioned waterproof structure 215. With the waterproof structure 215 arranged by waterproof fibers, the integrity of the shirt 210 can be ensured, and the comfort of the user when wearing the shirt 210 can be improved. For another example, after the shirt 210 is initially woven, the surrounding area of the first area 211 can be shuttle-woven with waterproof fibers to obtain the waterproof structure 215. For yet another example, when the shirt 210 is being produced, the surrounding area of the first area 211 and the position of the first area 211 can be left unweaved, and the first area 211 can be produced separately. Then, the surrounding area of the first area 211 can be woven with waterproof fibers, and finally, the first area 211 and its surrounding area can be sewn to the aforementioned shirt 210. ​

[0117] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can also be formed by permeating a waterproof agent around the first region 211. The aforementioned waterproof agent can include, but is not limited to, a fluorine-based waterproof agent, a silicon-based waterproof agent, etc. After the completion of the shirt 210, the aforementioned waterproof structure 215 can be formed by permeating a waterproof agent to the first region 211.

[0118] By setting the waterproof structure 215 through a waterproof agent, the production process of the shirt 210 is simplified, and the waterproof structure 215 of the shirt 210 can be supplemented at any time as needed to strengthen its waterproof effect. For example, when the waterproof effect of the original waterproof structure 215 of a certain shirt 210 is weakened due to wear or other reasons, the original waterproof structure 215 can be supplemented by a waterproof agent to strengthen its waterproof effect.

[0119] The waterproof structure 215 set by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present specification can be applied to various conductive electrode schemes described in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present specification. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is set by the conductive wire 221, the waterproof structure 215 set by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent will not affect the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is set by the conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 set by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent will also not affect the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212.

[0120] In some embodiments, similarly, the second region 212 can also be connected to other regions of the shirt 210 through the waterproof structure 215.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The shirt 210 can also include a first waterproof layer 216 and a second waterproof layer 217. The aforementioned first region 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second region 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 away from the skin. The aforementioned waterproof layer (for example, the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217) can be obtained by various methods. For example, the waterproof layer is woven by waterproof fiber or formed by permeating a waterproof agent to the corresponding region. For more information about obtaining the waterproof layer by the waterproof fiber and the waterproof agent, please refer to the relevant description of obtaining the waterproof structure 215 by the waterproof fiber and the waterproof agent in the present specification. For another example, the waterproof layer is obtained by reserving the corresponding region of the waterproof layer during the production of the shirt 210 and not weaving, and then processing a polyethylene film or other waterproof film to the corresponding region of the shirt 210 by various methods (for example, sewing, gluing, etc.) after the completion of the weaving of other parts of the shirt 210.

[0122] Since the first area 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second area 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217 themselves will not be wetted by water, so even if the area around the first area 211 and the second area 212 contains water, it will not be transmitted to the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217. Through this arrangement, it is possible to avoid the corresponding area (for example, the first area 211, the second area 212) being wetted by water in the thickness direction of the upper garment 210, thereby causing electrical connection with other areas through water.

[0123] It can be understood that since the first area 211 is arranged on the first waterproof layer 216, the size and shape of the first waterproof layer 216 and the first area 211 can be the same, or the size of the first waterproof layer 216 is greater than the size of the first area 211; similarly, the size and shape of the second waterproof layer 217 and the second area 212 can be the same, or the size of the second waterproof layer 217 is greater than the size of the second area 212.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first area 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second area 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, so that the conductive electrode 220 can be electrically connected to the first area 211 and the second area 212, while avoiding the area where the conductive electrode 220 is arranged from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water. For example, Figure 11 The conductive wire 211 shown can be arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin and the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, thereby achieving electrical connection to the first area 211 and the second area 212 while avoiding the area where the conductive wire 211 is arranged from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water. For another example, one conductive patch 222 can be arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and another conductive patch 222 can be arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin. The aforementioned two conductive patches 222 can be at least partially attached to achieve electrical connection of the first area 211 and the second area 212, while also avoiding the conductive patch 222 from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water.

[0125] Some embodiments of the present specification can avoid electrical connection between the first area 211 and the second area 212 and other areas of the upper garment 210 through water by arranging the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217, thereby reducing the noise of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device and improving the accuracy of the obtained electrical signal.

[0126] Having described the basic concepts, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the foregoing detailed disclosure is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting of the scope of the description. Although the foregoing has been described in some detail for purposes of clarity, it will be apparent that certain changes and modifications can be made to the descriptions, illustrations, and specific embodiments without departing from the scope of the description. Such changes and modifications are therefore intended to be covered by the foregoing description. The scope of the description is to be afforded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all compatible modifications and equivalent structures.

[0127] Also, the description has used specific terminology in describing embodiments of the description. Examples of specific terminology include "one embodiment," "an embodiment," "some embodiments," etc. Such terminology should not be interpreted as specifying or limiting a particular embodiment to the aspects in which the term is used. It should also be noted that such terminology is not intended to mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic is required to one or more embodiments of the description. For example, under no circumstances can the use of certain terminology imply that features, elements, or components not in some way being substantially recited in a claim are necessitated.

[0128] Further, unless expressly identified as otherwise, the order of processing elements and sequences, if any, in which elements of the description are presented, is not an indication of a requirement that the described processing be performed in the given sequential order, and that descriptions be performed in the order presented. Further, where described elements of the description include numerical ranges, such ranges are used to describe point values within a range. For example, a range of 1 to 5 should be interpreted to include the values of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Further, although the above disclosure discusses some presently preferred embodiments of the application, the embodiments discussed are not intended to limit the application to those explicitly described, but rather the scope of the application is to be interpreted as broadly as is reasonable.

[0129] Similarly, it is to be noticed that the term "comprising", used in the description, should not be interpreted as limited to the means listed thereafter; it does not exclude other elements or steps. It is thus to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, elements, steps or components as referred to, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, steps or components, or groups thereof. Thus, the scope of the description should be given by the appended claims, rather than by the detailed description, which should be considered in its pure form only.

[0130] In some embodiments, numbers describing the quantity of components and attributes are used. It should be understood that such numbers used in the description of embodiments are modified in some examples with the terms "approximately," "approximately," or "generally." Unless otherwise stated, "approximately," "approximately," or "generally" indicates that the numbers are allowed to vary by ±20%. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters used in the specification and claims are approximate values, which may be changed depending on the characteristics required by individual embodiments. In some embodiments, numerical parameters should take into account specified significant digits and employ a general method of digit reservation. Although the numerical ranges and parameters used to confirm their breadth of range in some embodiments of this specification are approximate values, in specific embodiments, such values ​​are set as precisely as feasible.

[0131] For each patent, patent application, patent application publication, and other material, such as articles, books, specifications, publications, and documents, referenced in this specification, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This excludes historical application documents that are inconsistent with or conflict with the content of this specification, as well as documents that limit the broadest scope of the claims in this specification (currently or subsequently appended to this specification). It should be noted that in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the descriptions, definitions, and / or terminology used in the supplementary materials to this specification and the content of this specification, the descriptions, definitions, and / or terminology used in this specification shall prevail.

[0132] Finally, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the embodiments described herein. Other variations may also fall within the scope of this specification. Therefore, alternative configurations of the embodiments described herein are intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and should be considered consistent with the teachings of this specification. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein are not limited to those explicitly introduced and described herein.
