In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0024] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the specific implementation methods can be combined in any suitable manner unless there is any contradiction. For example, different implementation methods can be formed by combining different specific technical features / embodiments. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features / embodiments in the present utility model will not be described separately.

[0025] The utility model provides a wearable device, see Figures 1 to 5 The wearable device 100 includes a screen 10, a housing 20, and a control module (not shown) connected to the housing 20; the control module is used to control the wearable device 100; the screen 10 is provided on the front 21 of the housing 20 for realizing screen display; at least one decorative member 30 is provided on the front 21 of the housing 20 (the surface of the wearable device 100 on which the screen 10 is provided in the present utility model is the front 21) and is provided around the screen 10, and a detector 40 is provided corresponding to the decorative member 30, the detector 40 is connected to the control module, and the detector 40 is used to detect the user's command action such as pressing or touching the decorative member 30. When the detector 40 detects the user's command action such as pressing or touching the decorative member 30, the decorative member 30 can realize the key effect accordingly. The utility model uses the decorative member 30 on the front 21 of the wearable device 100 to realize the key effect, and when the user needs to perform common operations such as adjusting the volume, the operation is very convenient.

[0026] It is understandable that the front of the wearable device in the prior art is often provided with 2 to 4 decorative pieces, which are mainly used for appearance decoration. If four physical mechanical buttons are installed on the front of the wearable device, the mechanical buttons occupy a large space and the waterproof structure is complicated, which does not have an advantage compared with the present invention. The present invention uses the decorative piece 30 on the front 21 of the wearable device 100 to achieve the physical button effect, and then detects whether the user has a command behavior such as touching or pressing the decorative piece 30 with a finger through the built-in detector 40, thereby realizing the button function. The original decorative piece 30 is used as a button, which makes full use of the outer shell space of the wearable device 100. On the one hand, the complexity and space occupation of the physical button structure can be effectively reduced under the condition that the whole device is waterproof. On the other hand, the layout of the decorative piece 30 is on the same side as the screen 10, which can facilitate the user to operate the button while watching the screen 10 response. Moreover, the utility model uses the decorative part 30 on the exterior surface of the wearable device 100 to design buttons. The button functions corresponding to the decorative part 30 can be designed in combination with user demand scenarios. For example, the decorative part 30 can correspond to fixed functions such as volume increase and decrease, camera focus, etc. Compared with the wearable device 100 without buttons set on the outside, this solution has obvious advantages in volume adjustment, camera focus, and game entertainment. In addition, users can also set custom functions through software, which can help users improve operating efficiency and product experience in different application scenarios.

[0027] It should be noted that the wearable device 100 in the present invention may be a wearable device 100 such as a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0028] For the decorative element 30, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the decorative part 30 can be a metal part, which not only has good strength, rigidity and oxidation resistance, can ensure that the user touches or presses the decorative part 30 multiple times, and improves the service life, but also can provide the user with a better touch experience and has better aesthetics.

[0029] Preferably, the shell can be rectangular in shape, and the number of the decorative parts 30 can be 4. The 4 decorative parts 30 can be respectively arranged at the four corners of the front side 21 of the shell 20. Such a position design ensures the number of decorative parts 30 to meet the needs of users, and the spacing distance between each decorative part 30 is sufficient to prevent users from accidentally touching multiple decorative parts 30 at the same time.

[0030] Further, on the basis of the above, the decorative element 30 may include a first extension section 31 and a second extension section 32 connected by bending, the cross-section of the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 is rectangular, and the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 are respectively located at the two ends connected to the front side 21 of the shell 20, and the decorative element 30 meets the requirements of quantity and spacing distance, and the area of ​​the decorative element 30 is further guaranteed, so that the user has enough contact area when performing operations such as pressing or touching, which is convenient for the user to operate. In other embodiments, the utility model may also include decorative elements of other different shapes; for example, for the convenience of description, the above decorative element (including the decorative element of the first extension section and the second extension section connected by bending) is defined as the fifth decorative element, and the utility model may also include a sixth decorative element in the shape of a column, and the sixth decorative element may be arranged between two fifth decorative elements, so that it will not take up too much space, and more key functions can be realized.

[0031] Preferably, the wearable device 100 may also include a screen detection module and a button switch module connected to the control module. When the screen detection module detects that the screen 10 is turned off, the screen detection module sends a shutdown signal to the button switch module, and the button switch module accordingly turns off the detector 40. Therefore, when the wearable device 100 is in the locked screen state, the wearable device 100 does not respond to the user's button operation by default, thereby reducing accidental touches.

[0032] The button functions corresponding to the decorative part 30 can be customized, and the functions may be different in different application scenarios. Different implementation methods are given below as examples. Of course, the button functions corresponding to the decorative part 30 are certainly not limited thereto.

[0033] As a first implementation of the key function corresponding to the decorative element 30, please refer to Figure 2 , the two decorative pieces 30 on the same side can correspond to the volume adjustment function, which is convenient for users to adjust the volume. Specifically, the wearable device 100 can also include a volume adjustment module, which includes a volume increase module and a volume decrease module; the two decorative pieces 30 located on the same side of the shell 20 are respectively defined as a first decorative piece 301 and a second decorative piece 302, and the detectors 40 corresponding to the first decorative piece 301 and the second decorative piece 302 are respectively connected to the first detector 401 and the second detector 402, the first detector 401 is connected to the volume increase module, and the second detector 402 is connected to the volume decrease module.

[0034] As a second implementation of the key function corresponding to the decorative element 30, please refer to Figure 2, the two decorative pieces 30 on the same side can correspond to the focus adjustment function of the camera, which is convenient for the user to perform zoom adjustment operations; and the two decorative pieces 30 corresponding to the focus adjustment function can be arranged opposite to or alternately with the two decorative pieces 30 corresponding to the volume adjustment function. Specifically, the wearable device 100 can also include a connected camera module and a focus adjustment module, and the focus adjustment module includes a focus increase module and a focus reduction module; the two decorative pieces 30 located on the same side of the shell 20 are respectively defined as the third decorative piece 303 and the fourth decorative piece 304, and the detectors 40 respectively connected to the third decorative piece 303 and the fourth decorative piece 304 are the third detector 403 and the fourth detector 404, the third detector 403 is connected to the focus increase module, and the fourth detector 404 is connected to the focus reduction module.

[0035] As a third implementation of the button function corresponding to the decorative piece 30, the four decorative pieces 30 can correspond to the indication or movement function of the four directions, so that the user can control the up, down, left, and right movements; for example, when the user uses the screen 10 to play electronic games, the user can control the up, down, left, and right movements through the decorative piece 30, so as to solve the problem of blocking the line of sight by finger touch screen operation in the prior art. Specifically, the wearable device 100 also includes a direction indication module, which includes an upper indication module, a lower indication module, a left indication module, and a right indication module; the four decorative pieces 30 are respectively connected to the four detectors 40, and the four detectors 40 are respectively connected to the upper indication module, the lower indication module, the left indication module, and the right indication module.

[0036] For the detector 40, see Figures 1 to 5 Optionally, the detector 40 can be a sensor such as a pressure sensor, a capacitive sensor or an electromagnetic signal sensor. The utility model does not limit the specific type of the detector 40. As long as it can detect whether the user has a command behavior such as touching or pressing, the auxiliary decorative component 30 can achieve a key effect.

[0037] As a first embodiment of the detector 40, please refer to Figure 3 , the detector 40 can be a pressure sensing device. The detector 40 detects the slight shape change of the detection surface caused by the decorative part 30 being pressed, thereby realizing the detection and recognition of the user's pressing action of the decorative part 30. Among them, the pressure sensing device may include a piezoresistive material and a circuit detector 40. The piezoresistive material deforms under the action of an external force, causing its own impedance to change. The circuit detector 40 detects the impedance change of the piezoresistive material through a circuit, thereby realizing the detection of the user's pressing and other command behaviors. In addition, the threshold of the detector 40 response (that is, the threshold for the key effect) can be realized by judging whether the impedance value change reaches a preset value.

[0038] As a second embodiment of the detector 40, please refer to Figure 4 , the detector 40 can be a capacitive sensor, and the detector 40 detects the user's behavior by sensing the capacitance change caused by the finger touching or pressing the decorative part 30. The wearable device 100 can have a built-in processor chip and a circuit mainboard. The processor chip generates a specific excitation signal (a square wave of several kHz to tens of kHz) and loads it on the decorative part 30. There is a coupling capacitor between the decorative part 30 and the GND (ground terminal of the circuit mainboard). When the user's finger does not touch the decorative part 30, the amplitude of the excitation signal is relatively stable. When the user touches or presses the decorative part 30 with his hand, the coupling capacitance value between the decorative part 30 and GND changes significantly, thereby causing a change in the amplitude of the excitation signal. The processor chip can detect whether the user has a touch or press command behavior by detecting the change in the signal amplitude.

[0039] As a third embodiment of the detector 40, the detector 40 can be an electromagnetic signal sensor, the wearable device 100 can include a wireless communication antenna module, the decorative component 30 can serve as an antenna signal port of the wireless communication antenna module, and when the user touches the decorative component 30 with his hand, the reflected energy of the antenna signal port changes significantly. The detector 40 can detect whether the user has any command behavior such as touching by detecting the reflected signal energy (S11) of the RF excitation signal at the antenna port.
