[0028] Please see below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a charging case for charging a smart ring. The charging case includes an openable and closable charging case shell 1, and further includes:

[0029] A charging slot 11 is disposed inside the charging chamber housing 1 and is used to place the smart ring and charge it.

[0030] The first display module 12 is disposed on the charging case housing 1 and associated with the charging slot 11, and is used to display the battery level of the smart ring.

[0031] In this embodiment, the charging case includes components such as a charging case shell 1, a charging slot 11, and a first display module 12. The first display module 12 is used to display the battery level of the smart ring, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] In practical applications, the charging case shell 1 can be made of anti-slip material, which can ensure that it will not easily slip during use and improve the reliability of use.

[0033] In one embodiment, the charging compartment further includes a charging post 13, which is mounted on the charging slot 11 and has a pin assembly 14 for connecting to the smart ring.

[0034] Specifically, the pin assembly 14 includes multiple pins, wherein at least one pin is used to charge the smart ring, and at least one pin is used to acquire detection data collected by the smart ring.

[0035] In this embodiment, the charging case connects to the smart ring via pin components 14 mounted on the charging post 13, thereby enabling power delivery and data transmission. Specifically, when the smart ring needs charging or data synchronization, the user simply places the smart ring on the charging post 13 of the charging case, and the pin components 14 automatically connect to the corresponding interface of the smart ring. In this way, the charging case can deliver power to the smart ring through these pin components 14 while simultaneously transmitting data, ensuring the normal operation and data updates of the smart ring. This design allows users to conveniently charge the smart ring and synchronize the latest data during the charging process, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0036] In practical applications, the smart ring also features a corresponding pin assembly 14. Both the pin assembly 14 in the charging case and the pin assembly 14 on the smart ring are magnetically attracted pin assemblies 14. This allows the smart ring to connect to the charging case more easily during charging, ensuring the stability and convenience of the charging process. Through magnetic attraction, the pin assembly 14 can easily align and connect, enabling fast charging. This magnetically attracted pin assembly 14 design not only improves the user experience but also enhances the device's durability and reliability.

[0037] In one embodiment, the charging compartment further includes a second display module 16, which is disposed outside the charging compartment housing 1 and is used to display the acquired detection data.

[0038] In this embodiment, a second display module 16 is installed on the outside of the charging case housing 1 to display detection data such as heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, body temperature, stress, and mood obtained from the smart ring. In this way, users can directly access this important health information through the second display module 16 on the charging case without frequently taking out their mobile phones or other smart devices to check during daily use. This design not only improves user convenience but also enhances the practicality of the device, enabling users to more easily monitor and understand their physical condition.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, after acquiring the detection data, the charging case can perform simple processing on the detection data, such as logical judgment, to initially detect whether there is abnormal data. If abnormal data is detected, an alarm is issued through the second display module 16, for example, the screen color of the second display module 16 changes to the alarm color (such as red), or the screen flashes, an abnormality indicator pops up, etc., to attract the user's attention.

[0040] In addition, the first display module 12 is disposed on the top of the charging column 13 and is inclined from the inside to the outside.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first display module 12 is directly mounted on the charging column 13, which not only saves space but also makes the overall structure more compact. Furthermore, this embodiment also sets the tilt angle of the first display module 12, giving it an inward-tilting appearance. Specifically, this tilt refers to tilting from the inside of the charging compartment outwards, making it easier for the user to observe the battery level data during use.

[0042] This design allows users to clearly see the charging status and battery information without bending over or adjusting their viewing angle, greatly enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, this tilted design effectively prevents reflections and glare, ensuring clear visibility of the displayed content under various lighting conditions. Overall, this design considers not only practicality but also aesthetics and user-friendliness, making the entire charging station 13 more convenient and comfortable to use.

[0043] In practical applications, a single display screen can replace both the first display module 12 and the second display module 16. This means that a single screen can simultaneously display battery level, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, body temperature, and other health monitoring data. To ensure intuitive information display, the screen can be divided into different areas, each dedicated to displaying specific data. This allows users to easily and quickly access the information they need, improving the overall user experience and efficiency. Furthermore, to enhance the user interface's friendliness and interactivity, user-friendly design elements can be added to the screen, such as icons or animations representing different health indicators, making data viewing more intuitive and understandable. Simultaneously, the screen's brightness, contrast, and other parameters can automatically adjust according to ambient light, ensuring clear visibility under various lighting conditions.

[0044] Preferably, a micro-current sensor can be installed inside the charging case. When the smart ring is fully charged, the micro-current sensor will automatically cut off the power to prevent overcharging and extend the lifespan of the ring.

[0045] In one embodiment, the charging compartment further includes a voice module, which is disposed inside the charging compartment housing 1 and is used to play the acquired detection data.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the charging case receives the detection data collected by the smart ring, it can broadcast the corresponding detection data to the user via a voice module. The broadcast process has two modes: automatic broadcast mode, where the charging case automatically broadcasts the data once when the smart ring is placed inside; and manual trigger mode, where the user triggers the broadcast once per button press. Furthermore, the content of the voice broadcast is customizable; the user can choose to broadcast only the detection results for the current day, such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep quality, stress level, emotional state, body temperature, and other physiological indicators. Additionally, the user can pre-set the broadcast content on the corresponding smart terminal, for example, broadcasting only heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data, or only sleep quality and body temperature data, etc.

[0047] In one embodiment, a trigger button 17 is also provided on the outside of the charging case shell, and the trigger button 17 is electrically connected to the first display module 12, the second display module 16 and / or the voice module.

[0048] This embodiment, by setting a trigger button 17, allows users to easily achieve the desired function by simply pressing this trigger button 17 when information display or broadcast is required. For example, different button operation modes can be preset. A single press of the trigger button 17 will immediately display the battery information on the first display module 12; if the user presses it twice consecutively, the second display module 16 will be activated and display the detection data information collected by the smart ring; and when the user chooses to long-press the trigger button 17, the voice module will be activated to transmit the detection data information via voice broadcast. Of course, in different application scenarios, multiple trigger buttons 17 can be set according to actual needs. Each button can be associated with different functional modules such as the first display module 12, the second display module 16, and the voice module, thereby achieving a more flexible and diverse operating experience.

[0049] Furthermore, the trigger button 17 can also have a one-click reset function. For example, if a user presses and holds the trigger button 17 for a preset time threshold, a one-click reset can be achieved. This allows users to more conveniently restore the device to its initial state during use, improving operational efficiency. In case of abnormalities in the charging case, a reset can be performed using the trigger button 17. For example, if problems such as the charging case failing to charge or the smart ring failing to connect properly to the charging case occur, pressing the trigger button 17 can be tried to reset and clear some settings that may be causing the problem, and then reconnect.

[0050] In addition, combined Figure 2 As can be seen, there is an external interface 18 on the side of the trigger button 17. In practical applications, the charging case can charge itself through the external interface 18, and can also connect to the smart terminal via wires through the external interface 18 to achieve data interaction.

[0051] In one embodiment, a charging position 15 is provided between the charging slot 11 and the charging post 13 for placing the smart ring.

[0052] Preferably, a silicone pad is provided between the charging position 15 and the smart ring setting.

[0053] In this embodiment, to enable the smart ring to charge and transmit data more conveniently and efficiently, charging positions 15 adapted to the smart ring are provided in the charging slot 11 and charging post 13. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the charging slot 11 is designed with a stepped structure, with its size increasing from bottom to top. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also ensures that the smart ring can be stably placed on the charging position 15 during charging.

[0054] Meanwhile, to further improve charging and data transmission efficiency, a silicone pad is added between the charging slot 15 and the smart ring. This silicone pad has multiple functions. First, it acts as a buffer, protecting the smart ring from impacts and scratches during placement and removal, thus extending its lifespan. Second, considering that the depth of the charging slot 15 may vary slightly between different charging compartments due to differences in manufacturing processes, the silicone pad effectively compensates for this depth difference, ensuring good contact and stable charging for the smart ring in each charging compartment. This not only improves charging efficiency but also ensures reliable data transmission, providing users with a more convenient and efficient user experience.

[0055] In one embodiment, the charging compartment further includes a communication module disposed inside the charging compartment housing 1 for communicating with a smart terminal.

[0056] Since the smart ring itself lacks the ability to directly connect to the internet, its data transmission to the cloud server must rely on methods such as smartphone applications (APPs). However, mobile APPs have several drawbacks in use, so this embodiment uses a charging case to replace the functions of a mobile APP. In practical applications, after receiving the detection data from the smart ring, the charging case will perform preliminary data processing, such as basic analysis of sleep data, and then upload the processed data to terminal devices such as cloud servers. Furthermore, the data transmission and processing mechanism of the charging case must ensure data security and integrity. That is, during data transmission, encryption technology is used to prevent data leakage, and verification codes and other means are used to ensure that the data is not tampered with or lost during transmission. Specifically, the communication module can use various networking methods to ensure that the device can connect to the network efficiently and stably. For example, a 4G module can be used as the communication module to connect to the network using the existing 4G network. The 4G module can provide high-speed data transmission speeds to meet the needs of large-scale data transmission. Alternatively, the communication module can also use an NB-IoT module for networking. NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology, particularly suitable for applications requiring low power consumption and low data transmission rates. For example, an NB-IoT module enables stable network connectivity between the charging case and smart terminals over relatively long distances with low power consumption. Furthermore, this communication module also supports Wi-Fi connectivity. Wi-Fi connectivity offers advantages such as ease of deployment and low cost, making it suitable for indoor or short-range networking needs. Through these various networking methods, the charging case can flexibly select the most suitable method based on actual application scenarios and requirements, ensuring efficient operation and reliable data transmission.

[0057] This embodiment uses the charging case to display and transmit data, effectively solving the problem of not being able to obtain relevant information when the mobile phone is not with the user or cannot access the network. To further enhance the user experience, the data transmission between the charging case and the smart terminal can also be set to real-time synchronization, that is, when the charging case obtains the detection data of the smart ring, it immediately transmits it to the smart terminal through the communication module.

[0058] It is understood that in practical applications, the charging compartment contains a printed circuit board (PCB), on which the voice module and communication module are integrated. Simultaneously, the pin assembly 14, the first display module 12, and the second display module 16 are also connected to this PCB to achieve data transmission and display functions. It should also be noted that the pin assembly 14 in this embodiment can convert various external signals into electrical signals that the PCB can recognize and process. Through this conversion, the pin assembly 14 enables the PCB to effectively communicate and exchange data with the smart ring. Whether the signal is digital or analog, the pin assembly 14 ensures accurate signal transmission, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation and efficient collaboration of the entire electronic system.

[0059] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the systems disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the descriptions are relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to in the method section. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.

[0060] It should also be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
