It should be noted that the shape and size of the receiving groove can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape and size of the dial 130, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0040] In some embodiments, the depth of the receiving groove is less than the thickness of the dial 130, that is, the user only needs to pinch the outer wall portion of the dial 130 that is not in contact with the receiving groove with one hand to take the dial 130 out of and put it in the chassis 110, further improving convenience and improving the user experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, in order to achieve magnetic connection between the chassis 110 and the dial 130, one of the chassis 110 and the dial 130 is provided with a first magnetic member, and the other of the chassis 110 and the dial 130 is provided with a second magnetic member, and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are mutually attracted. It should be noted that the material, size and shape of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0042] In this embodiment, considering that the user has a large range of movements when wearing the smart watch 100, in order to ensure a stable connection between the dial 130 and the chassis 110, the dial 130 and the chassis 110 are snap-fitted and magnetically connected, and the first magnetic component is disposed at one of the bottom of the accommodating groove and the bottom surface of the dial 130, and the second magnetic component is disposed at the other of the bottom of the accommodating groove and the bottom surface of the dial 130.

[0053] In some embodiments, the smart watch 100 is also provided with a GPS positioning module for transmitting positioning information to the user, so that the user can find the smart watch 100 in time, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the dial 130 has a display screen, which is communicatively connected to the control module, and the display screen is used for user operation and displaying relevant information, so that the dial 130 can switch between a shift state, an unlock state, and a lock state. Exemplarily, the display screen is a touch display screen.

[0055] It is understandable that when the display screen is turned on, application icons are arranged on the display screen, and the application programs include time programs, switch lock programs, and shift programs. That is, the user clicks on the corresponding application icon, so that the control module can receive and respond to the corresponding instructions and display relevant information at the same time. It should be noted that the material, size and shape of the display screen can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0056] Exemplarily, the user clicks on the lock-switch program icon, and the control module displays the unlock icon and the lock icon on the display screen according to the instruction, and sends an unlock instruction to the control system according to the user clicking on the unlock icon, that is, the dial 130 is in the unlock state, so that the control system unlocks the car through the control module in response to the unlock instruction. When the user removes the dial 130 from the chassis 110 and installs it in the shift area, the user clicks on the shift program icon, and the control module displays icons representing each gear (P, R, N, D, S, L, and M) on the display screen according to the instruction, that is, the dial 130 is in the shift state, and the user can rotate the dial 130 or click on the icon of a gear on the display screen, so that the vehicle executes the corresponding gear through the control module.

[0057] It should be noted that the application also includes a heart rate monitoring program, a sports recording program, a sleep management program and a call program, etc., so that the smart watch 100 also has the following corresponding functions: automatically recording the user's heart rate throughout the day, measuring the heart rate and analyzing the heart rate indicators at any time to provide the user with scientific exercise suggestions; recording the user's steps and exercise status throughout the day, and calculating energy consumption; recording the user's sleep information and providing the user with a sleep report; providing call control on the display screen, supporting user rejection and muting.
