Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart wearable device technology, and in particular to a method for replacing modules in a smart ring. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of wearable smart devices, smart rings have gradually become a new type of smart terminal following smartwatches and smart bracelets due to their advantages of small size, comfortable wear, high concealment, and convenient all-day continuous monitoring. Currently, most smart rings on the market integrate various basic health management functions such as heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen detection, sleep analysis, and activity tracking.

[0003] However, the functional modules on smart rings in the existing technology are usually fixed at the factory, which makes it impossible for users to personalize the functional modules of the smart ring according to their daily needs or special scenarios, and also makes it impossible to disassemble and replace the functional modules. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a module replacement method for a smart ring, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where the functional modules of smart rings cannot be personalized and cannot be disassembled and replaced.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a module replacement method for a smart ring. The smart ring has an assembly slot, and a functional module is detachably disposed within the assembly slot. The functional module replacement method includes the following steps: Multiple different preset application scenarios are set up, and different preset application scenarios correspond to different time periods, wherein different application scenarios correspond to different types of functional modules; The smart ring is placed in a charging case, wherein the charging case contains multiple different types of the functional modules. The charging box identifies the type of the functional module set in the assembly slot and obtains the actual application scenario of the smart ring based on the type of the functional module. The charging box obtains the current time period and the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period; Compare the preset application scenario with the actual application scenario; If the preset application scenario is different from the actual application scenario, the charging box will remove the functional module set in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0006] In one embodiment, the steps of the charging box identifying the type of the functional module disposed in the assembly slot and obtaining the actual application scenario of the smart ring include: The charging box identifies the types of functional modules set in the assembly slot and compares them with the types of functional modules corresponding to each preset application scenario; If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is the same as the type of the functional module in one of the preset application scenarios, then the preset application scenario is taken as the actual application scenario. If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module in all the preset application scenarios, then the charging box will only charge the smart ring and stop executing the steps of obtaining the current time period and obtaining the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period.

[0007] In one embodiment, if the preset application scenario differs from the actual application scenario, the charging box will remove the functional module located in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module. If the preset application scenario is different from the actual application scenario, the charging box will send a replacement prompt to the user. If the user chooses not to replace according to the replacement prompt, the steps of removing the functional module set in the assembly slot from the charging box and installing other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot will be stopped. If the user selects to replace according to the replacement prompt information, or if the charging box sends the replacement confirmation signal to the user but the user does not select a preset time, then the charging box will continue to remove the functional module set in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0008] In one embodiment, before the step of the charging box acquiring the current time period and acquiring the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period, the method further includes: The charging box determines whether it has received a user's instruction; wherein the instruction includes a preset application scenario; If the instruction information is received, the charging box will remove the functional module set in the assembly slot, and put the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information into the assembly slot, and stop executing the steps of the charging box obtaining the current time period and obtaining the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period; If the instruction information is not received, the steps of obtaining the current time period and obtaining the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period by the charging box continue.

[0009] In one embodiment, if the instruction information is received, the charging box will remove the functional module disposed in the assembly slot and install the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information into the assembly slot, and then the process will further include: The charging box identifies the types of functional modules in the assembly slot and compares them with the types of functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information; If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information, an error alarm will be issued. If the preset application scenario differs from the actual application scenario, the charging box will remove the functional module located in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot. After completing the step of replacing the functional module, the charging box further includes: The charging box identifies the types of functional modules in the assembly slot and compares them with the types of functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario; If the type of functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario, an error alarm will be issued.

[0010] In one embodiment, if the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information, the step of issuing an error alarm includes: The charging box sends a recovery confirmation message to the user. If the user selects to confirm recovery based on the recovery confirmation information, the charging box will remove the replaced functional module from the assembly slot and install the functional module corresponding to the actual application scenario into the assembly slot. If the type of functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario, the step of issuing an error alarm includes: The charging box sends a recovery confirmation message to the user. If the user selects to confirm recovery based on the recovery confirmation information, the charging box will remove the replaced functional module from the assembly slot and install the functional module corresponding to the actual application scenario into the assembly slot.

[0011] In one embodiment, the charging box includes a housing, a charging post, and a first driving member. The housing has a mounting cavity, and the housing has a retrieval port corresponding to the mounting cavity. The charging post is disposed at the retrieval port. The first driving member is disposed at the bottom of the charging post and is used to drive the charging post to rise to extend out of the retrieval port or to descend to be received in the mounting cavity. The steps of placing the smart ring into a charging case include: The driving component drives the charging column to rise and extend out of the pick-up and drop-off port, and puts the smart ring onto the charging column; The driving component drives the charging column to descend and be housed in the charging box; If the preset application scenario differs from the actual application scenario, the charging box will remove the functional module located in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot. After completing the step of replacing the functional module, the charging box further includes: The driving component drives the charging column to rise and extend out of the pick-up and drop-off port, so as to push the smart ring out of the charging box; Remove the smart ring from the charging post to take it out of the charging case.

[0012] In one embodiment, the charging box further includes a second driving member, a module compartment, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism. The second driving member is used to drive the module compartment to rotate. The module compartment is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the charging post. Multiple module cavities are formed inside the module compartment and are spaced apart along the circumference of the charging post. The number of disassembly / assembly mechanisms is the same as the number of module cavities and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. At least a portion of the disassembly / assembly mechanisms carry the functional modules. The steps of replacing the functional module include: removing the functional module from the assembly slot and installing other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot. The second driving component drives the module compartment to rotate until a disassembly and assembly mechanism that does not carry the functional module corresponds to the functional module in the assembly slot; The disassembly and assembly mechanism removes the functional module located in the assembly slot and carries the functional module. The second driving component drives the module compartment to rotate until the disassembly and assembly mechanism of the other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario corresponds to the assembly slot of the smart ring; The disassembly and assembly mechanism inserts the functional module it carries into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0013] In one embodiment, each of the application scenarios corresponds to multiple of the functional modules, and the smart ring is provided with multiple of the assembly slots; After the disassembly and assembly mechanism removes the functional module located in the assembly slot and carries the functional module, the following steps are included: Return to the second driving component to drive the module compartment to rotate until a disassembly and assembly mechanism that does not carry the functional module corresponds to the functional module in the assembly slot, until all functional modules on the smart ring are removed from the assembly slot; The disassembly and assembly mechanism inserts the functional module it carries into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module. The steps include: The disassembly and assembly mechanism inserts the functional modules it carries into the assembly slot; Return to the second driving component to drive the module compartment to rotate until the disassembly and assembly mechanism of the other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario corresponds to the assembly slot of the smart ring, until all the functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario are installed in the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional modules.

[0014] In one embodiment, each of the functional modules is provided with an RFID chip, and the charging box is provided with an RFID identification module; The steps of identifying the type of functional module set in the assembly slot and obtaining the actual application scenario of the smart ring based on the type of functional module include: The charging box identifies the RFID chip of the functional module set in the assembly slot through the RFID identification module to obtain the type of the functional module, and obtains the actual application scenario of the smart ring according to the type of the functional module.

[0015] The technical solution of this invention involves setting an assembly slot on a smart ring, within which functional modules are detachably mounted, allowing for easy replacement of the modules. A charging box is also included, containing multiple different types of functional modules and pre-setting multiple different application scenarios. These scenarios correspond to different time periods. When the smart ring is placed in the charging box, it first identifies the type of functional module on the ring to determine its actual application scenario. The charging box can also determine the corresponding pre-set application scenario based on the current time period. If the actual application scenario differs from the pre-set application scenario for the current time period, the charging box replaces the functional module in the assembly slot, transferring the module corresponding to the pre-set application scenario for the current time period to the smart ring, thus enabling the replacement of the functional modules on the smart ring.

[0016] This invention sets preset application scenarios and associates them with time periods. The charging box then identifies the actual application scenario of the smart ring with the preset application scenario and automatically switches the functional modules. This design satisfies the need for disassembling and replacing functional modules, and allows users to personalize the preset application scenarios according to their daily usage scenarios and needs, thus improving the user experience.

[0024] In existing smart rings, the functional modules are usually fixed at the factory, which prevents users from personalizing the functional modules according to their daily needs or special scenarios, and also prevents them from disassembling and replacing the functional modules.

[0025] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a module replacement method for a smart ring.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The module replacement method of the smart ring in this embodiment includes the following steps: The smart ring has an assembly slot, and a functional module is detachably disposed within the assembly slot. S100: Set multiple different preset application scenarios and make the different preset application scenarios correspond to different time periods, wherein the different application scenarios correspond to different types of functional modules; Users can pre-set multiple different preset application scenarios according to their needs, such as daily wear scenarios, sports monitoring scenarios, sleep monitoring scenarios, medical testing scenarios, or social reminder scenarios, and assign each preset application scenario to a different time period. It should be noted that preset application scenarios can be stored in the charging case or in the cloud. The charging case is connected to the cloud and can also be stored in terminal devices connected to the charging case, such as mobile phones, smartwatches, and other smart devices. Users can add or modify preset application scenarios in real time on the terminal devices. Specifically, the preset time period can be from a certain time of day to a certain time of day, or a certain day of the week. For example, if a user sets Monday to Friday as "weekdays," then a preset weekday scene suite can be set up as follows: 06:01~07:00 Exercise scene: Exercise monitoring related function modules; 07:01~19:00 Office scene: Office meeting related function modules; 19:01~22:00 Game scene: Game interaction related function modules; 22:01~06:00 Sleep scene: Sleep monitoring related function modules. S200: Place the smart ring into a charging box, wherein the charging box contains multiple different types of the functional modules; S300: The charging box identifies the type of the functional module set in the assembly slot, and obtains the actual application scenario of the smart ring according to the type of the functional module; When the smart ring is placed in the charging case, the charging case automatically identifies the type of functional module set in the current assembly slot, and determines the actual application scenario of the smart ring based on the functional attributes corresponding to the functional module. S400: The charging box obtains the current time period and the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period; The charging box obtains the current time information and determines the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period based on the correspondence between the preset time period and the preset application scenario. S500: Compare the preset application scenario with the actual application scenario; The actual application scenario obtained in step S300 is compared with the preset application scenario obtained in step S400 to determine whether the functional modules of the current smart ring meet the usage requirements of the current time period. S600: If the preset application scenario is different from the actual application scenario, the charging box will remove the functional module set in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0027] When the comparison results show that the preset application scenario is inconsistent with the actual application scenario, the charging box will disassemble the functional module in the current assembly slot and select a functional module from the charging box that matches the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period. The module will then be installed into the assembly slot of the smart ring to complete the module replacement. It should be noted that there are many reasons for the inconsistency between the preset application scenario and the actual application scenario, such as the time period corresponding to the actual application scenario has passed, the user has replaced the functional module, or the user has modified the preset application scenario.

[0028] The technical solution of this invention involves setting an assembly slot on a smart ring, within which functional modules are detachably mounted, allowing for easy replacement of the modules. A charging box is also included, containing multiple different types of functional modules and pre-setting multiple different application scenarios. These scenarios correspond to different time periods. When the smart ring is placed in the charging box, it first identifies the type of functional module on the ring to determine its actual application scenario. The charging box can also determine the corresponding pre-set application scenario based on the current time period. If the actual application scenario differs from the pre-set application scenario for the current time period, the charging box replaces the functional module in the assembly slot, transferring the module corresponding to the pre-set application scenario for the current time period to the smart ring, thus enabling the replacement of the functional modules on the smart ring.

[0029] This invention sets preset application scenarios and associates them with time periods. The charging box then identifies the actual application scenario of the smart ring with the preset application scenario and automatically switches the functional modules. This design satisfies the need for disassembling and replacing functional modules, and allows users to personalize the preset application scenarios according to their daily usage scenarios and needs, thus improving the user experience.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, step S300 includes: S310: The charging box identifies the type of the functional module set in the assembly slot and compares it with the type of the functional module corresponding to each preset application scenario; The charging box identifies the types of functional modules set in the assembly slot and compares the identified types of functional modules with the types of functional modules corresponding to each preset application scenario. S320: If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is the same as the type of the functional module in one of the preset application scenarios, then the preset application scenario shall be taken as the actual application scenario. S330: If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module in all the preset application scenarios, then the charging box only charges the smart ring and stops step S400.

[0031] If the type of functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of functional module in all preset application scenarios, it means that the user has manually replaced the functional module according to their own needs. Therefore, no changes are made to the functional module at this time, only charging is performed, and the subsequent steps of comparing the preset application scenario and the actual application scenario are stopped.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, step S600 includes: S601: If the preset application scenario is different from the actual application scenario, the charging box will send a replacement prompt to the user. Send a change notification to the user, reminding them that the next time period has begun and the preset application scenario has changed, so that the user can know the conditions and reasons for the change before the functional module is changed; S602: If the user chooses not to replace according to the replacement prompt information, then the steps of removing the functional module set in the assembly slot from the charging box and installing other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot will be stopped. S603: If the user selects to replace according to the replacement prompt information, or if the charging box sends the replacement confirmation signal to the user but the user does not select a preset time, then the charging box will continue to remove the functional module set in the assembly slot and install other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0033] Through the above steps, users can receive timely notifications that functional modules will be replaced, and they can choose whether to replace them based on their actual needs. This avoids forcing users to replace modules when they do not want to, thereby improving the controllability of use. Even if users are busy or do not notice and do not make a clear choice, automatic replacement will still ensure that the smart ring's functional configuration remains consistent with the preset application scenarios.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the method further includes the following steps before step S400: S390: The charging box determines whether it has received a user's instruction information; wherein, the instruction information includes a preset application scenario; S391: If the instruction information is received, the charging box will remove the functional module set in the assembly slot, and put the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information into the assembly slot, and stop executing the steps of the charging box obtaining the current time period and obtaining the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period; By prioritizing the processing of user-initiated commands, the charging box enables real-time user intervention in application scenarios. Upon receiving a command, the charging box no longer performs the step of changing the functional modules according to the preset application scenarios corresponding to the preset time period. Instead, it treats the preset application scenarios in the user's command as high-priority commands and executes them, allowing users to adjust the functional modules in real time according to their preferences and needs.

[0035] S392: If the instruction information is not received, continue to execute the steps of the charging box obtaining the current time period and obtaining the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period.

[0036] In one embodiment, step S391 is followed by: S3911: The charging box identifies the type of the functional module in the assembly slot and compares it with the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information; S3912: If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario in the instruction information, an error alarm is issued; Step S600 is followed by: S700: The charging box identifies the type of the functional module in the assembly slot and compares it with the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario; S710: If the type of the functional module in the assembly slot is different from the type of the functional module corresponding to the preset application scenario, an error alarm is issued.

[0037] Whether the function module is replaced according to the preset application scenario in the user's instruction information, or the function module is replaced according to the preset application scenario corresponding to the current time period, a re-check is required. That is, the charging box identifies and checks whether the function module replaced on the smart ring is consistent with the function module corresponding to the preset application scenario. If an inconsistency is found, an error alarm is issued to the user, reminding the user that the replacement function of the charging box is abnormal.

[0038] In one embodiment, step S3912 is followed by: S3913: The charging box sends a recovery confirmation message to the user; S3914: If the user selects to confirm recovery based on the recovery confirmation information, the charging box will remove the replaced functional module from the assembly slot and install the functional module corresponding to the actual application scenario into the assembly slot. Step S710 and the following steps are included: S720: The charging box sends a recovery confirmation message to the user; S730: If the user selects to confirm recovery based on the recovery confirmation information, the charging box will remove the replaced functional module from the assembly slot and install the functional module corresponding to the actual application scenario into the assembly slot.

[0039] After an error alarm is issued, users can choose to restore the functional modules on the smart ring to their state before replacement. This prevents incorrectly installed functional modules from affecting the customer's daily use and ensures that the smart ring can still be used normally when the charging case is repaired separately in the future.

[0040] Please combine Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the charging box 100 includes a housing 10, a charging post 20, and a first driving member 30. The housing 10 forms a mounting cavity 11, and the housing 10 has a retrieval port 12 corresponding to the mounting cavity 11. The charging post 20 is correspondingly disposed at the retrieval port 12. The first driving member 30 is disposed at the bottom of the charging post 20 and is used to drive the charging post 20 to rise to extend out of the retrieval port 12, or to descend to be received in the mounting cavity 11. Step S200 includes: S210: The driving component drives the charging column to rise and extend out of the pick-up and drop-off port, and puts the smart ring on the charging column; The first driving component 30 drives the charging column 20 to rise and extend out of the pick-up and put-out port 12, and then puts the smart ring on the charging column 20, so that the smart ring is positioned in both the radial and axial directions. S220: The driving component drives the charging column to descend and be housed in the charging box; The first driving component 30 drives the charging column 20 to descend, so that the charging column 20 and the smart ring are housed together in the charging box 100, thereby providing a stable installation state for subsequent charging and functional module replacement operations. Step S600 is followed by: S800: The driving component drives the charging column to rise and extend out of the take-out port, so as to push the smart ring out of the charging box; The first driving component 30 drives the charging column 20 to rise and extend out of the take-out port 12 to push the smart ring with the completed module replacement out of the charging box 100. S810: Remove the smart ring from the charging post to take the smart ring out of the charging case.

[0041] The user removes the smart ring from the charging post 20, thus completing the removal of the smart ring from the charging box 100. By setting up a liftable charging post 20, driven by the first driving component 30, the smart ring is automatically inserted and automatically ejected, ensuring that the smart ring is in a stable and controlled state during charging, module replacement, and removal. This reduces the difficulty of manual operation and improves the reliability and convenience of the retrieval process.

[0042] In one embodiment, the charging box 100 further includes a second driving member 40, a module compartment 50, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism 60. The second driving member 40 is used to drive the module compartment 50 to rotate. The module compartment 50 is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the charging post 20. A plurality of module cavities 51 are formed inside the module compartment 50, and the plurality of module cavities 51 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the charging post 20. The number of disassembly / assembly mechanisms 60 is the same as the number of module cavities 51 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. At least a portion of the disassembly / assembly mechanisms 60 carry the functional modules. Step S600 includes: S610: The second driving component drives the module compartment to rotate until a disassembly and assembly mechanism that does not carry the functional module corresponds to the functional module in the assembly slot; S620: The disassembly and assembly mechanism removes the functional module located in the assembly slot and carries the functional module; S630: The second driving component drives the module compartment to rotate until the disassembly and assembly mechanism of the other functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario corresponds to the assembly slot of the smart ring; S640: The disassembly and assembly mechanism inserts the functional module it carries into the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional module.

[0043] The second driving component 40 drives the module compartment 50 to rotate, and it cooperates one-to-one with the disassembly and assembly mechanism 60, so that the disassembly and assembly of functional modules can be completed within the same structural system, realizing the automated replacement of functional modules, reducing structural complexity, and improving the accuracy and stability of module replacement.

[0044] In one embodiment, each of the application scenarios corresponds to multiple of the functional modules, and the smart ring is provided with multiple of the assembly slots; Step S620 and the following steps are included: S621: Return to step S610 until all functional modules on the smart ring have been removed from the assembly slot; Step S640 includes: S641: The disassembly and assembly mechanism inserts the functional module it carries into the assembly slot; S642: Return to step S630 until all the functional modules corresponding to the preset application scenario are installed in the assembly slot to complete the replacement of the functional modules.

[0045] By introducing a cyclic execution mechanism, the functional modules in multiple assembly slots can be disassembled and assembled sequentially, thereby supporting the overall switching of multi-functional modules in a single application scenario and enhancing the functional expansion capability of smart rings in complex application scenarios.

[0046] In one embodiment, each of the functional modules is provided with an RFID chip, and the charging box is provided with an RFID identification module; Step S300 includes: S301: The charging box identifies the RFID chip of the functional module set in the assembly slot through the RFID identification module to obtain the type of the functional module, and obtains the actual application scenario of the smart ring according to the type of the functional module.

[0047] By setting up RFID chips within functional modules and working in conjunction with RFID identification modules, non-contact identification of different types of functional modules can be achieved, improving identification speed and accuracy, avoiding errors caused by mechanical or manual identification, and enhancing the reliability of application scenario judgment.

[0048] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present invention using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
