Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless wearable communication devices, and more particularly to a deformable wireless wearable communication device and system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing wearable communication devices, such as true wireless earbuds, smartwatches, smart glasses, and single-camera earbuds, typically have fixed and limited product forms and wearing methods, with their functions being fragmented. Earbuds only provide audio functions, watches are limited to the wrist, and camera functions often rely on the frame structure of smart glasses. This not only limits the user group (such as those who do not wear glasses) but also makes the devices lack the ability to adapt to different scenarios, unable to freely switch between primary modes such as ear-worn and wrist-worn.

[0003] These technical solutions generally suffer from inconsistent structures and weak scalability. Device models with and without cameras often employ different designs, making modular compatibility and combination impossible; their magnetic structures have limited functions, mostly used only for charging or mechanical adsorption, making it difficult to support intelligent identification and rapid system reconfiguration among multiple devices. Therefore, existing devices cannot flexibly build multi-functional systems such as pure audio, single-camera, or dual-camera systems based on the same core module. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a deformable wireless wearable communication device and system.

[0005] The following technical solution is adopted: a deformable wireless wearable communication device, including an E01 rigid module device and a Pro rigid module device. The outer walls of the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device are respectively fixed with an outer shell and an inner shell, and the front end of the outer shell is respectively provided with a speaker and a microphone.

[0006] Optionally, both the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device have a flexible connecting section fixedly provided at one end, magnetic connecting components fixedly provided on both sides of both the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device, and a camera fixedly provided at the front end of the Pro rigid module device.

[0007] Optionally, the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device are magnetically connected on one side via a magnetic connection component.

[0008] Optionally, the flexible connecting segment is made of TPU or medical-grade silicone, and the camera can rotate within a range of 0-20 degrees.

[0009] Optionally, an LED indicator light is fixedly provided on the front end of the Pro rigid module device.

[0010] Optionally, the magnetic connection assembly includes a neodymium magnet and a gold-plated conductive pad.

[0011] Optionally, the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device are equipped with a Hall sensor, a proximity sensor and an accelerometer.

[0012] Optionally, both the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device have a reserved interface position fixed at the bottom, and a charging base is connected to one side of the magnetic connection component.

[0013] Optionally, the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device are fixedly provided with buttons on the front end. The E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device are both C-shaped. The outer shell and the inner shell are provided with wireless communication modules.

[0014] A system comprising two Pro rigid module devices that provide dual-camera stereo or angular imaging.

[0015] A system comprising a Pro rigid module device and an E01 rigid module device, operating as a single-camera stereo audio wearable device.

[0016] A system comprising two E01 rigid module devices, operating as an audio-only stereo system.

[0017] The technical effects that can be obtained by the technical means of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] (1) In this invention, by setting a flexible connecting segment and a magnetic connecting component, the device achieves free switching between ear-worn and wrist-worn modes. In ear-worn mode, the flexible connecting segment conforms to the auricle, the proximity sensor detects the wearing status, the accelerometer identifies head movement, the system automatically adjusts the speaker to a directional sound field and reduces the volume, and the camera of the Pro rigid module device can rotate to the front field of view. In wrist-worn mode, the two modules are attracted by the magnetic connecting component, the Hall sensor identifies the connection status, the flexible connecting segment wraps around the wrist, the system switches the camera to a fixed angle or turns it off, and adjusts the speaker to external diffusion, thereby completing shape recognition and function adaptation through intelligent sensors.

[0019] (2) In this invention, by setting a unified shell and PCB structure for the E01 rigid module device and the Pro rigid module device, with the only difference being the installation of the camera, this device supports modular combination. Utilizing the magnetic attraction and conductivity of the magnetic connection components, three combination methods can be achieved: E01 with E01, E01 with Pro, and Pro with Pro. The E01 combination provides a high-quality stereo audio system; the E01 and Pro combination forms a single-camera standard version, balancing shooting and privacy; and the Pro dual combination achieves dual-camera stereo vision, thereby meeting the needs of different users through flexible configuration and significantly improving scalability.

[0020] (3) In this invention, by setting a flexible connecting section made of materials such as TPU or medical-grade silicone, the device optimizes the ergonomic design, ensuring wearing comfort and durability. At the same time, the Pro rigid module device is equipped with a fixed, non-closable LED indicator light, which is forced to light up when the camera is working to ensure safety and privacy; a reserved interface position is provided as an extended physical access point to support peripheral connection or wired data transmission; in addition, multiple devices can interchange roles through magnetic connection components, further enhancing the scalability of the system ecosystem and adapting to future functional expansion and multi-scenario applications.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] A preferred embodiment of the deformable wireless wearable communication device and system provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A deformable wireless wearable communication device and system includes an E01 rigid module device 12 and a Pro rigid module device 13. The outer walls of the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13 are respectively fixed with an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2. The front end of the outer shell 1 is respectively provided with a speaker 5 and a microphone 6.

[0031] Through the above scheme, E01 rigid module device 12 and Pro rigid module device 13 are two models of this device, which are the basic function module and the advanced function module of this device, respectively. Both have a wireless communication module and a main PCB board inside, including a battery electrically connected to the wireless communication module. The outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 constitute the external protection structure of the device. The speaker 5 and the microphone 6 are used for inputting and outputting audio signals, playing sound, and making voice calls, respectively. The microphone 6 collects sound signals for voice input, calls, and ambient sound pickup, etc.

[0032] In this embodiment, a flexible connecting section 3 is fixedly provided at one end of both the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13, and a magnetic connecting component 10 is fixedly provided on both sides of both the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13, and a camera 4 is fixedly provided at the front end of the Pro rigid module device 13.

[0033] Through the above scheme, the flexible connecting segment 3 provides bending and deformation capabilities to adapt to different contours of the ear or wrist. By setting the magnetic connecting component 10, the devices can be attracted to each other. The two originally separate E01 rigid module devices 12 or Pro rigid module devices 13 can be attracted to each other on one side by the magnetic connecting component 10, and the two can be combined into a new ring device and worn on the wrist, realizing the transformation from ear strap mode to wrist strap mode. The camera 4 is used to capture still images or videos and is the core module to realize the visual function. It is only equipped on the Pro rigid module device 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13 are magnetically connected on one side by a magnetic connection component 10.

[0035] Through the above scheme, and via the magnetic connection component 10, the device can be configured in three ways: E01 rigid module device 12 with E01 rigid module device 12, E01 rigid module device 12 with Pro rigid module device 13, and Pro rigid module device 13 with Pro rigid module device 13. These configurations achieve the following three functions: E01 rigid module device 12 with E01 rigid module device 12 results in a cameraless configuration 4, but with high-quality stereo sound, suitable for users with no shooting needs; E01 rigid module device 12 with Pro rigid module device 13 results in a standard version with a single camera 4, but still maintains the combination of dual speakers 5 (stereo sound) and dual microphones 6, offering enhanced privacy and lighter weight; Pro rigid module device 13 with Pro rigid module device 13 results in a dual-camera configuration 4, providing stereo vision and dual-view shooting, suitable for advanced users.

[0036] In this embodiment, the flexible connecting segment 3 is made of TPU or medical-grade silicone.

[0037] The above solutions ensure the flexibility, durability, wearing comfort, and biocompatibility of the flexible connection segment 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, camera 4 can rotate within a range of 0-20 degrees.

[0039] Through the above scheme, the camera 4 can adjust the viewing angle through a micro-rotating structure, an elastic bending structure, and a fixed angle groove. In earband mode, the camera 4 can be adjusted to face forward, and in wristband mode, the camera 4 enters a fixed angle or turns off.

[0040] In this embodiment, an LED indicator 9 is fixedly provided at the front end of the Pro rigid module device 13.

[0041] Through the above solution, LED indicator 9, as a unique function of Pro rigid module device 13, is a privacy indicator that cannot be turned off. It displays the working status of the device and lights up when camera 4 is working to alert others and ensure safety and privacy.

[0042] In this embodiment, the magnetic connection component 10 includes a neodymium magnet and a gold-plated conductive pad.

[0043] Through the above scheme, neodymium magnets and gold-plated conductive pads are used to attract the two devices to form a wristband mode and to engage with the charging base 11 for charging.

[0044] In this embodiment, the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13 are equipped with a Hall sensor, a proximity sensor and an accelerometer.

[0045] With the above scheme, in wristband mode, the Hall sensor is used to identify the magnetic state, and in earband mode, the proximity sensor detects the ear and the accelerometer identifies head movement.

[0046] In this embodiment, both the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13 are fixedly provided with reserved interface positions 8 at the bottom. When the device is connected to an external device, the interface can support data transmission or processing modes different from the wireless state (without involving specific interface forms or parameters).

[0047] The above scheme reserves interface position 8 as a reserved physical access point for extended functions, which can be used for wired data transmission with peripherals, charging, etc.

[0048] In this embodiment, a charging base 11 is connected to one side of the magnetic connection component 10.

[0049] With the above solution, the magnetic connection component 10 has the function of automatic guidance and automatic alignment of conductive contacts, supporting charging of individual or dual devices.

[0050] In this embodiment, buttons 7 are fixedly provided on the front ends of E01 rigid module device 12 and Pro rigid module device 13.

[0051] Through the above solution, button 7 provides a physical control interface for user interaction operations such as power on / off, volume adjustment, taking photos, and function switching.

[0052] In this embodiment, both the E01 rigid module device 12 and the Pro rigid module device 13 are C-shaped.

[0053] The above solution sets the two devices as open-loop C-shapes, not completely closed rings, which facilitates quick wearing and removal, adapts to different wrist sizes, and improves wearing comfort and ease of use.

[0054] In this embodiment, a wireless communication module is provided inside the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2.

[0055] The above solution includes a wireless communication module, which includes a Bluetooth module and a Wi-Fi module. Its function is to communicate with external smart terminals to achieve data transmission, device synchronization, etc.

[0056] A system comprising two Pro rigid module devices 13, providing dual-camera stereo or angular imaging.

[0057] A system comprising a Pro rigid module device 13 and an E01 rigid module device 12, operating as a single-camera stereo audio wearable device.

[0058] A system comprising two E01 rigid module devices 12, operating as an audio-only stereo system.

[0059] Working principle: When using this invention, as follows... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in use, the core E01 rigid module device 12 (basic audio module) and the Pro rigid module device 13 (advanced module integrating camera 4) dynamically reconfigure their form and function through the magnetic connection component 10 on the side and the flexible connection segment 3 at the end. Normally, the device functions as an independent ear-worn unit: the flexible connection segment 3 fits the ear, the proximity sensor detects wearing, the accelerometer recognizes head movement, and the system enters "ear-worn mode." The camera 4 of the Pro device can rotate to the front field of view, the LED indicator 9 provides privacy guidance, and the speaker 5 uses a directional sound field. When switching to wrist-worn mode, the two modules attract each other through the magnetic connection component 10 (containing neodymium magnets and gold-plated conductive pads), the Hall sensor recognizes this state, the flexible connection segment 3 wraps around the wrist, the system switches to "wristband mode," the camera 4 is fixed or turned off, and the speaker 5 switches to external playback. The magnetic connection component 10 supports three modular combinations: two E01 rigid module devices 12 combined to form a pure high-quality stereo audio system; one E01 and one Pro rigid module device 13 combined to form a standard single-camera 4 system, balancing shooting and privacy; and two Pro rigid module devices 13 combined to achieve dual-camera 4 stereo vision. In addition, a reserved interface position 8 is provided for expansion, the button 7 provides physical interaction, and the charging dock 11 charges the device through the magnetic connection component 10. The entire system intelligently recognizes the status through internal sensors, realizing free conversion between ear-worn and wristband forms and flexible expansion of functional configurations. At the same time, this device supports any three or four devices to form the following ecosystem: automatic assignment of left and right roles, automatic switching of camera 4 roles, and automatic assignment of which device to wear behind the ear based on battery level.

[0060] The above are merely illustrative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of the present invention are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, the present invention naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the inventive points of this case.
