Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0033] In this document, references to "embodiment" or "implementation" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or implementation may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] In existing technologies, action cameras are commonly used for video recording. However, these devices usually need to be handheld or fixed in place, which is inconvenient in some special scenarios. For example, outdoor sports enthusiasts may want to record the scenery along the way while cycling or hiking. However, the shooting devices in related technologies all need to be handheld, which affects the user experience.

[0035] Therefore, this embodiment provides a wearable device that can improve the convenience of image capture. (See also: [link to relevant documentation]) Figure 1 A wearable device 100 includes: a connector 10, a shooting component 20, and a main unit 30;

[0036] One end or both ends of the connector 10 are provided with a host device 30, which is connected to the shooting component 20, and the shooting component 20 is used for shooting.

[0037] The wearable device 100 includes a connector 10 with a main unit 30 at each end. The main unit 30 and the shooting component 20 can be connected via a bendable rod for wearing on the ear. The shooting component 20 is used to capture images. The shooting component 20 is electrically connected to the main unit 30, which is used for data processing, powering the shooting component 20, and storing the images captured by the shooting component 20. Thus, after the shooting component 20 captures an image, it can store it through the main unit 30 to realize the image capture. This allows for image capture through wearing, improving the convenience of image capture.

[0038] Optionally, the shooting component 20 in the wearable device 100 described above can be configured as follows: Figure 1 The square shown can also be set as follows: Figure 3 The square in the middle.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the shooting component 20 includes: a housing 21, a camera 22, and an image stabilization module 23;

[0040] The housing 21 is connected to the host device 30, the camera 22 is disposed inside the housing 21, the image stabilization module 23 is disposed on one side of the camera 22, and the image stabilization module 23 is connected to the camera 22.

[0041] Understandably, the shooting component 20 includes: a housing 21, which is connected to the main unit 30 via the aforementioned bending rod to ensure the stability of the shooting device during shooting. A camera 22 and an image stabilization module 23 are fixedly installed inside the housing 21, and the image stabilization module 23 is electrically connected to the camera 22. The image stabilization module 23 is positioned close to the camera 22 and on the same plane. In this way, when shaking occurs during the shooting process, the image stabilization module 23 provides compensation for the image to avoid image blurring caused by device shaking during shooting. For example, in cycling or mountain climbing scenarios, the user's body shaking may cause the shooting device to produce a blurry image, while the image stabilization module 23 maintains the stability of the camera 22 through a dynamic compensation mechanism to ensure clear shooting.

[0042] Optionally, the image stabilization module 23 can be implemented using a gyroscope, accelerometer, or other means that can achieve optical image stabilization.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, it further includes: a rotating mechanism 40;

[0044] The rotating mechanism 40 includes a shaft 41, a rotating part 42, and a damping element 43; the rotating part 42 is rotatably connected to the shaft 41, the damping element 43 is disposed between the shaft 41 and the rotating part 42, and the damping element 43 is used to provide damping for the relative movement between the rotating part 42 and the shaft 41;

[0045] The shaft portion 41 is connected to either the main unit 30 or the shooting assembly 20, and the rotating portion 42 is connected to the other of the main unit 30 or the shooting assembly 20.

[0046] Understandably, the rotating mechanism 40 includes a shaft 41, a rotating part 42, and a damping element 43. The shaft 41 is mounted on either the main unit 30 or the imaging assembly 20, and the rotating part 42 is mounted on the other of the main unit 30 and the imaging assembly 20. When the rotating part 42 is mounted on the main unit 30, the shaft 41 is mounted on the imaging assembly 20. The shaft 41 and the rotating part 42 are rotatably connected, meaning the rotating part 42 can rotate around the shaft 41, allowing the main unit 30 to rotate around the imaging assembly 20. The relative rotation of the imaging device allows for adjustment of the shooting angle. A damping element 43 is provided between the shaft 41 and the rotating part 42. This damping element 43 provides damping force to the shaft 41 and rotating part 42 during rotation, and also provides positioning (or self-locking) for them. This prevents relative rotation of the shaft 41 and rotating part 42 during significant shaking, which could alter the shooting angle of the imaging component 20 and affect its shooting capabilities.

[0047] Understandably, the damping element 43 can be made of elastic materials such as friction pads, spring sheets, rubber rings, or grease damping structures. The specific implementation can be tailored to different materials and structural forms based on actual design requirements to ensure the stability and durability of the damping effect. The damping force of the damping element 43 can be adjusted using parameters such as material hardness, thickness, and spring preload to achieve a balance between wearing comfort and stability. If the damping force is too small, the first and second earpieces may become loose or difficult to fix in place; if the damping force is too large, the adjustment will be too difficult, affecting the user's operating experience.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing 21 has a rotating groove 211, and the main unit 30 is at least partially movably accommodated in the rotating groove 211.

[0049] Understandably, the housing 21 has a rotating groove 211, which communicates with the outside, and the connector 10 is at least partially movably accommodated within the rotating groove 211. The rotating groove 211 provides space and guidance for the relative rotation of the connector 10 within the earphone housing 21. It also limits the rotation range of the shooting component 20 relative to the main unit 30 to prevent excessive rotation angles that could affect the normal shooting of the shooting component 20. The shape of the rotating groove 211 can be arc-shaped, straight, or other geometric shapes suitable for rotational movement. This improves the shooting angle available to the user, while also enhancing the fit and ease of adjustment, meeting the personalized needs of different users regarding earphone wearing angle and stability.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing 21 is provided with an anti-rotation surface 212, the main unit 30 is provided with an anti-rotation part 31, the anti-rotation surface 212 is arranged parallel to the anti-rotation part 31, and the anti-rotation surface 212 is perpendicular to the central axis of the shaft part 41.

[0051] Understandably, the anti-rotation surface 212 is a planar structure on the earphone housing 21, arranged in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the shaft portion 41; the anti-rotation portion 31 is a recessed or protruding structure or a planar structure corresponding to the anti-rotation surface 212. After assembly, if the shooting component 20 deflects relative to the main unit 30, the anti-rotation portion 31 can cooperate with the anti-rotation surface 212 to prevent accidental deflection, thereby achieving mechanical limiting.

[0052] The parallel arrangement of the anti-rotation surface 212 and the anti-rotation part 31 ensures that a stable force-bearing surface is formed when they come into contact, preventing tilting or sliding and enhancing the reliability and durability of the limiting mechanism. The fact that the anti-rotation surface 212 is perpendicular to the central axis of the shaft part 41 ensures that the limiting effect occurs in the radial direction of rotation, effectively limiting the range of rotation.

[0053] This anti-rotation structure allows for precise control of the headphone device's rotation angle, preventing it from exceeding the maximum allowable rotation angle and avoiding damage to the shooting component 20 or discomfort caused by excessive rotation. The materials and surface treatments of the anti-rotation surface 212 and the anti-rotation part 31 can be selected according to usage requirements, such as using wear-resistant materials or surface hardening treatment, to improve the service life and stability of the limiting components.

[0054] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, it further includes: a circuit board 50; the circuit board 50 is disposed within the host device 30, and the circuit board 50 is electrically connected to the shooting component 20.

[0055] Understandably, the shooting component 20 also includes a circuit board 50, which is housed within the main unit 30. The circuit board 50 is connected to the camera 22 and the image stabilization module 23 via wires, for example, by using an FPC cable passing through the inside of a bent rod to achieve electrical connection. The circuit board 50 processes the image signals captured by the camera 22 and related data from the image stabilization module 23. Housed within the main unit 30, the circuit board 50 reduces the size of the shooting component 20 and also acts as a counterweight, reducing the weight of the shooting component 20 and thus reducing pressure on the ear.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, it further includes: an elastic heat-conducting element 60;

[0057] The elastic thermal conductive element 60 is disposed in the connector 10 and is connected to the circuit board 50.

[0058] Understandably, the connector 10 is also provided with an elastic heat-conducting component 60. By connecting the elastic heat-conducting component 60 to the circuit board 50, the heat generated by the circuit board 50 can be conducted to the elastic heat-conducting component 60 to dissipate heat from the circuit board 50. This can prevent the device from shutting down or the wearable device from having its lifespan shortened due to overheating of the circuit board 50.

[0059] Optionally, the elastic heat-conducting component 60 can be made of a material or structure that has thermal conductivity and can be elastically deformed, such as a thermally conductive silicone sheet or a metal spring sheet. It can compensate for assembly tolerances through elastic deformation. The elastic characteristics of the elastic heat-conducting component 60 enable it to maintain stable contact with the circuit board 50 and the connector 10 through its own deformation when the device is subjected to external force or bending, thus avoiding interruption of the heat conduction path due to mechanical stress.

[0060] In some embodiments, a microphone is also included; the microphone is disposed on the circuit board 50.

[0061] In some embodiments, a microphone hole is also provided on the housing 21. One or more microphones can be provided along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the shaft and along the outer periphery of the housing 21. Each microphone hole is provided with a microphone, which can be used to pick up sound so that the shooting component 20 has sound in the captured image. At the same time, a voice control function can also be provided to realize the operation of the wearable device 100 through voice control, so as to further improve the convenience of use.

[0062] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the host device 30 also contains a battery 70, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 50.

[0063] Understandably, a battery 70 is also provided in the main unit 30. The battery 70 can be connected to the circuit board 50 to provide power to the camera 22 and the shooting component 20. The battery 70 can be a lithium polymer battery 70 or a button battery 70. Placing the battery 70 in the main unit 30 can also reduce the wiring in the wearable device 100, thereby improving the stability of the wearable device 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, a battery 70 may also be provided at the other end of the connector 10, so that the host device 30 can be powered by two batteries 70. The other battery 70 can transmit power to the motherboard by arranging wires in the connector, so that the wearable device 100 can be used for a longer time.

[0065] In some embodiments, a charging port may be provided on the outside of the main device 30 to charge the battery 70 located inside the main device 30. To improve the convenience of charging, the charging port may be configured as a contact connection, or the battery 70 may be powered by wireless charging to improve the ease of use of the wearable device.
