Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to intelligent reminding technical field and particularly relates to a wearing terminal with prompting function, a ring and a prompting system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the intelligent wearing industry, the intelligent ring manufacturing industry is favored by users. Among them, touchable rings, health-detectable intelligent rings, and intelligent rings with pedometer functions are relatively common. These intelligent rings meet the needs of the majority of users due to their small size, lightweight, and other advantages.

[0003] However, the existing common intelligent rings have certain limitations. Specifically, such rings usually do not have incoming call and message prompting functions. This is mainly because intelligent rings are designed to be small in size and cannot add vibration devices to achieve the prompting function. For users who want both a small intelligent ring and a prompting function, the existing products cannot meet both needs, resulting in poor user experience and unsatisfactory experience.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to develop a new type of ring with prompting function, which can keep small size while having prompting function, to solve the problem of poor user experience of existing intelligent terminals. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a wearing terminal with prompting function, a ring and a prompting system thereof.

[0006] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a wearing terminal with prompting function, which includes MCU module, signal generator, signal sending end and signal receiving end integrated in the same circuit board. The MCU module is connected with the signal sending end via the signal generator. The signal sending end forms a complete signal transmission loop with the signal receiving end and the MCU module through the human skin. The signal sending end is provided with an electrode column body in contact with the human skin.

[0007] The above technical solution realizes efficient and accurate signal transmission, stability and reliability, reduces delay and loss, avoids signal interference and loss. The electrode column body accurately transmits electrical signals to realize diversified prompting functions with appropriate stimulation intensity. The integrated design makes the product small, light and easy to wear, with good appearance and improved user experience.

[0008] Further, the wearable terminal is provided with an annular structure having a mounting cavity, and the circuit board is fixed in the mounting cavity. The annular structure provides a stable and compact installation space for the circuit board, which is conducive to protecting the circuit board from external environmental interference, and helps to reduce the overall device volume and achieve the miniaturization design goal of the wearable terminal.

[0009] Further, the annular structure includes a metal shell serving as a signal receiving end. The metal shell participates in the signal transmission loop, on the one hand, it can enhance the stability and reliability of signal transmission by taking advantage of the good conductivity of metal to reduce signal attenuation and distortion, on the other hand, it can effectively reduce the influence of external electromagnetic interference on internal signal transmission by its shielding properties, and ensure the purity and accuracy of signal transmission.

[0010] Further, the annular structure further includes an inner ring, and the inner ring side wall is provided with a collection port, and the signal sending end is connected with the human skin through the collection port. The design of the inner ring and the setting of the collection port build a convenient and stable connection channel between the signal sending end and the human skin, ensuring that the signal can be accurately and efficiently transmitted from the signal sending end to the human skin, optimizing the signal transmission path and improving the effectiveness and timeliness of signal transmission.

[0011] Further, the inner ring is made of curable resin glue material. The inner ring made of curable resin glue material has good flexibility and plasticity, which can better fit the contour of the human wearing part while ensuring the stability of the structure, improving the comfort of wearing; and the material has certain insulation performance, which can effectively avoid the risk of short circuit caused by contact with signal transmission components, ensuring the safety and reliability of the wearable terminal.

[0012] Further, the signal sending end is an electrode column. The electrode column is used as the signal sending end, which has a small contact area and a high local electric field strength, and can accurately transmit signals to the target area when in contact with the human skin, improving the targeting and effectiveness of signal transmission, and facilitating the realization of the precise stimulation or information transmission function of the wearable terminal on the human skin.

[0013] Further, the signal sending end includes at least two electrode columns. The setting of multiple electrode columns can form a multi-channel signal transmission path, which can not only enhance the redundancy and stability of signal transmission, but also reduce the risk of signal transmission interruption caused by failure of a single electrode column.

[0014] Further, the surface of the electrode column is provided with a conductive plating film. The presence of the conductive plating film further optimizes the conductivity of the electrode column, reduces the contact resistance in the signal transmission process, and reduces the loss and reflection of signals on the surface of the electrode column, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of signal transmission and ensuring that the signals can be transmitted to the human skin in a more complete and accurate form.

[0015] Further, the bottom of the electrode column body is provided with a weldable part, and the circuit board is provided with a pad site for fixing the electrode column body. The weldable part and the pad site provide a stable and reliable mechanical and electrical connection between the electrode column body and the circuit board, maintain the stability and continuity of the signal transmission path, and improve the durability and reliability of the entire wearable terminal.

[0016] Further, the model of the MCU module is any one of DA14592 and nRF52840.

[0017] In a second aspect, the utility model provides a prompt system, the system includes a receiving device and the wearable terminal of the first aspect, the receiving device is connected with the wearable terminal communication.

[0018] The above technical scheme realizes the complete signal link building from the receiving device to the wearable terminal and then to the human skin through the close integration and cooperative work of various components, ensures that the signal can be efficiently and stably transmitted in the wearable terminal, and provides basic framework support for diversified function implementation.

[0019] In a third aspect, the utility model provides a ring with a prompt function, which adopts the wearable terminal of the first aspect and / or the prompt system of the second aspect, wherein the wearable terminal is provided in a ring structure.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial results that:

[0021] 1. The ring structure is adopted, and the mounting cavity is arranged to fix the circuit board. This design fully utilizes the space, so that the components can be compactly integrated. Compared with other loose structure designs, the overall volume is effectively reduced, which is convenient for users to wear, especially suitable for wearable devices such as smart rings which have strict requirements on volume, and improves the portability and aesthetics of the product.

[0022] 2. The inner ring of the ring structure is made of a curable resin adhesive material, which has flexibility and can better fit the shape and contour of the finger. During long-term wearing of the user, the feeling of oppression on the skin is reduced, and the situation that the user is unwilling to use due to discomfort is avoided, and the acceptance and willingness of the user to use the product are improved.

[0023] 3. Without adding a vibration motor device, the prompt function for the user is efficiently achieved, and the miniaturization design goal of the product is successfully realized, and the product volume is effectively reduced.

[0024] 4. By integrating the MCU module, the signal generator, the signal sending end and the signal receiving end on the same circuit board, and building a complete signal transmission loop composed of the signal sending end, the human skin, the signal receiving end and the MCU module, the node and path loss of signal transmission are reduced.
