[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wearable devices, specifically a modular smart bracelet. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional beaded ornaments such as bracelets and rosaries have long been primarily used for decoration and cultural symbolism, with minimal integration into modern technology. Therefore, they cannot provide users with the functions needed in modern society, such as health monitoring, information interaction, and convenient lifestyle services. For example, traditional Buddhist prayer beads cannot meet users' needs for exercise data monitoring and health reminders during workouts, nor can they provide convenient information interaction and lifestyle services in daily life. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model provides a modular smart bracelet that solves the technical problems of traditional bracelets having a low degree of integration with modern technology and being unable to provide users with health monitoring and convenient life services.

[0004] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A modular smart bracelet includes a bracelet body, which comprises one or more smart beads assembled together. Each smart bead includes an independent power supply module, a wireless transmission module, and one or more functional modules.

[0006] They all communicate with the smart terminal through their respective wireless transmission modules, or one of the smart beads is used as the control bead, and the other smart beads communicate with the control bead through their respective wireless transmission modules.

[0007] Furthermore, the smart bead includes a universal hemisphere and a functional hemisphere that cooperate with each other and can be detachably connected together. The universal hemisphere is provided with a power module, a wireless communication module, and a female magnetic connector. The functional hemisphere is provided with one or more functional modules and a female magnetic connector. The female and female magnetic connectors cooperate with each other to realize the electrical connection between the universal hemisphere and the functional hemisphere.

[0008] Furthermore, mating threads or latches and tongues are provided at the edges of the general hemisphere and the functional hemisphere.

[0009] Furthermore, the universal hemisphere is electrically connected to the charging base via a magnetic connector female terminal to achieve charging.

[0010] Furthermore, grooves are provided at the diameter positions corresponding to the centers of the general hemisphere and the functional hemisphere. The two grooves together form a channel for the stringing cord to pass through. The stringing cord is used to string the smart beads together to form a bracelet.

[0011] An indicator light is provided at the port position of each groove, and the indicator light is used to indicate the working status and fault status of the corresponding smart bead.

[0012] Furthermore, the functional modules include a GPS positioning module, a step counting module, a temperature and humidity sensor, a body temperature / heart rate monitoring module, an NFC module, a vibration module, a sound module, a display module, and a control chip.

[0013] Furthermore, the smart bead adopts a circular, square, or polygonal structure, and is made of materials such as wood, glass, plastic, minerals, metals, and gemstones.

[0014] Furthermore, the control bead communicates with the smart terminal through its own wireless transmission module, wherein the smart terminal acts as the master controller and the control bead acts as the slave controller.

[0015] Alternatively, the control bead can communicate with other smart wearable devices via its own wireless transmission module.

[0016] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. Since each smart bead has an independent power supply module, wireless transmission module, and functional module, the corresponding functional modules can be integrated into the smart bead as needed, such as temperature and humidity sensors, heart rate / body temperature monitoring modules, step counting modules, etc., to achieve health monitoring of users, environmental quality detection, etc., thereby completely changing the function of traditional bracelets, turning them into intelligent wearable devices while satisfying aesthetic requirements, improving the intelligence level of bracelets, and making them more practical.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1, this utility model provides a modular smart bracelet, including a bracelet body, which includes one or more smart beads 1 assembled together. Each smart bead 1 includes an independent power supply module, a wireless transmission module, and one or more functional modules. They all communicate with a smart terminal through their respective wireless transmission modules, or one smart bead 1 can be used as a control bead, and the other smart beads communicate with the control bead through their respective wireless transmission modules.

[0029] In this way, since each smart bead 1 has an independent power supply module, wireless transmission module, and functional module, the corresponding functional modules can be integrated into the smart bead as needed, such as temperature and humidity sensors, heart rate / body temperature monitoring modules, step counting modules, etc., to achieve health monitoring of users, environmental quality detection, etc., thereby completely changing the function of traditional bracelets, turning them into intelligent wearable devices while satisfying aesthetic requirements, improving the intelligence level of bracelets, and making them more practical.

[0030] In addition, each smart bead 1 can perform its own corresponding function. Users can choose smart beads with corresponding functions according to their actual needs to form a smart bracelet, which meets the personalized and diversified needs of today's users. At the same time, the smart beads can work together under the control of the control bead or the smart terminal to improve the level of intelligence. Furthermore, the functions are distributed to each smart bead, which is conducive to the integration of more functions, better intelligence effect, wider application range, and stronger practicality.

[0031] Specifically as follows:

[0032] As shown in Figures 2-4, the smart bead 1 includes a universal hemisphere and a functional hemisphere 12 that are mutually compatible and detachable. Inside the universal hemisphere 11 are a power module 111, a wireless communication module 112, and a magnetic connector female end 113. Inside the functional hemisphere 12 are one or more functional modules 121 and magnetic connector female ends 122. The magnetic connector female end 113 and magnetic connector female ends 122 cooperate to achieve electrical connection between the universal hemisphere 11 and the functional hemisphere 12. In this way, the universal hemisphere 11 can serve as a common component, working in conjunction with the functional hemisphere 12 to provide it with power and enable communication with smart terminals or control beads. This effectively reduces the manufacturing cost of the smart bead, facilitates maintenance and replacement, and even allows for product function upgrades. Furthermore, the magnetic connector not only enables electrical connection between the universal and functional hemispheres but also facilitates mechanical connection between them, aiding in disassembly and reassembly.

[0033] To facilitate disassembly, as shown in Figures 5-6, mating threads 114 are provided at the edges of the general hemisphere 11 and the functional hemisphere 12. These threads can be of a small arc length, depending on the actual situation. Alternatively, a snap-fit ​​structure such as a bayonet and a latch can be used, with multiple pairs provided. For example, multiple openings can be made at intervals on the edge of the general hemisphere, and latches can be provided at corresponding positions on the functional hemisphere. Selecting one pair for positioning further facilitates the magnetic attraction connection between the female end and the male end of the magnetic attraction connector.

[0034] Additionally, we can provide a magnetic connector daughter end on the charging base that mates with the female end 113 of the magnetic connector, so that the universal hemispherical 11 can be electrically connected to the charging base to achieve charging. Of course, the charging base can also be a power converter that can be directly connected to a mains socket.

[0035] The control chip in the control bead / smart terminal acts as the "commander" of the charging process, monitoring key parameters such as battery voltage, current, and temperature in real time, as well as factors in the charging environment such as power and electromagnetic interference. Based on this real-time monitoring data, the control chip can dynamically and precisely adjust parameters such as charging voltage and current to achieve an efficient, safe, and stable charging process. During charging, the intelligent control chip can also automatically optimize the charging strategy based on the battery's real-time status, such as using a fast charging mode when the battery level is low and a trickle charging mode when the battery is close to full, to effectively protect the battery, extend its lifespan, and ensure the safety and stability of the charging process.

[0036] To string these smart beads 1 together, grooves 115 are provided at the diameter positions corresponding to the centers of the general hemisphere 11 and the functional hemisphere 12. These two grooves 115 cooperate to form a channel for the stringing cord 2 to pass through. The stringing cord 2 passes through the channel to string the smart beads 1 together to form a bracelet. These smart beads 1 can adopt round, square, polygonal or other structures, and can be designed according to current popular styles. They can be made of wood, glass, plastic, organic, mineral, metal or gemstone materials.

[0037] An indicator light 3 is provided at the port of each groove 115. The indicator light 3 can indicate the working status and fault status of the corresponding smart bead. For example, when it is in working status, it can continuously light up green light to save energy; when it is in fault status, it can light up red light to remind the user.

[0038] These functional modules can be GPS positioning modules, pedometer modules, temperature and humidity sensors, body temperature / heart rate monitoring modules, NFC modules, vibration modules, sound modules, control chips, or artificial intelligence modules that integrate advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, etc.

[0039] For advanced artificial intelligence modules: intelligent interaction is achieved through deep learning algorithms and big data analytics, such as voice assistants, intelligent recommendations, and health analysis. The interaction data and analysis results can also be uploaded to smart terminals like mobile phones, providing users with a more intelligent and personalized service experience. For example, voice assistants can check the weather and set reminders based on user voice commands; intelligent recommendation functions can recommend suitable exercise courses and health foods based on user exercise data and health status. The settings of the artificial intelligence modules can also be optimized, such as adjusting the voice assistant's wake word and setting preferences for intelligent recommendations.

[0040] NFC Module: Integrates NFC functionality, supporting convenient payments, identity verification, and access control unlocking. During use, transaction data and identification records can be uploaded to the user's mobile phone via wireless communication, allowing users to easily check spending records and manage access permissions. The mobile phone can also configure NFC functions, such as adding or deleting access card information and managing payment accounts.

[0041] Step counting module: This can be an integrated precision step counting module that can accurately record every step a user takes. Through advanced algorithms and sensor technology, it can accurately measure movement data such as step count, distance traveled, and speed. This data is also transmitted to the mobile phone via a wireless communication module. Users can view their movement data statistics charts on the phone, which helps with scientific exercise and health management. The phone can also provide personalized exercise suggestions based on the user's movement data, such as adjusting exercise intensity and recommending exercise duration.

[0042] GPS Positioning Module: Integrating an advanced positioning module, this module acquires the user's precise location information through various technologies such as satellite positioning and base station positioning, and uploads the location data to a mobile app in real time using wireless communication technology. In scenarios involving preventing children from getting lost, parents can use the mobile app to view their child's location in real time after wearing the smart beaded bracelet, ensuring their safety. In scenarios involving outdoor activity tracking, users can clearly review their activity routes on the mobile app. The mobile app also has a historical location query function, making it convenient for users to trace their movements over a period of time.

[0043] Battery module: It can use arc-shaped batteries, which are manufactured based on flexible lithium polymer battery technology and have a thickness of ≤2mm. They can be flexibly adapted to the unique curvature of different beads to provide long-lasting and stable power support for the bead string.

[0044] Body temperature and heart rate monitoring module: Integrating a professional physiological monitoring module, this module employs high-precision sensors and advanced signal processing algorithms to monitor the user's body temperature and heart rate changes in real time and accurately. Monitoring data is quickly uploaded to a mobile app via a wireless communication module, allowing users to monitor their physiological health at any time. The app also allows users to set health alerts, promptly notifying them of abnormal data. Furthermore, the app can generate body temperature and heart rate change curves for the user, facilitating understanding of the dynamic trends in their health status.

[0045] Vibration Module: Integrates a TEC1-12706 vibration motor, primarily used to generate vibration feedback, and also serves as a special sensor feedback module. Upon receiving a specific command (such as a reminder command) from a mobile app, the vibration motor vibrates, completing the human-machine interaction feedback. Its operating status data can also be uploaded to the mobile app via a wireless communication module, allowing users to easily understand the device's operating status. Users can customize vibration modes on the mobile app, such as vibration intensity, duration, and frequency, to meet the reminder needs in different scenarios.

[0046] Finally, in addition to acting as the main controller and CPU to control the various smart beads to work together, the control bead can also act as a sub-controller. It communicates with the smart terminal through its own wireless transmission module, with the smart terminal as the main controller. The application is still installed in the smart terminal. The application sends the control commands from the smart terminal to the control bead, and the functional modules of the control bead control the corresponding functional modules of the smart beads to perform the corresponding functions according to the control commands, and transmits the execution results or collected information of each smart bead to the smart terminal for display.

[0047] In addition, the control bead communicates with other smart wearable devices, such as smart glasses and smart rings, through its own wireless transmission module. These devices can work together under the unified control of a smart terminal, or the control bead, smart glasses, or smart ring can act as a central controller and work together under its unified control to complete more complex and advanced functions.

[0048] The aforementioned control beads, smart beads, and smart terminals can also communicate with cloud servers to achieve cloud storage, etc.

[0049] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples. Various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
