Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent device technologies, and in particular, to a wearable device.BACKGROUND
[0002] With improvement of living standards, people pay more attention to health conditions. To facilitate detection of health conditions, people usually wear wearable devices such as smart bands, so as to detect data such as an electrocardiogram and a heart rate. The smart band includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The second electrode is located on a side of the smart band of the wearable device away from a screen. The first electrode may be located on the screen or a side surface of the smart band. For example, when a user wears the smart band on the left arm, the left arm is in contact with the second electrode, and when in use, the right arm is in contact with the first electrode, so as to form a complete loop. However, it is inconvenient for the user to obtain detected results through the screen because the first electrode usually occupies a display region of the screen. When the first electrode is located on the side surface of the smart band, the right arm is contact with the first electrode, which is likely to push the smart band to displace relative to the left arm. Consequently, poor contact between the second electrode and the left arm is caused.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the first electrode is made of a nanometal.
[0015] It is difficult to observe the nanometal with naked eyes because a width of the nanometal is relatively small and is usually calculated in a unit of nanometer, and therefore, the possibility that the first electrode affects the display region of the screen can be reduced.

[0019] The conductive protective layer is disposed on the third surface to protect the first electrode.

The first main body part is disposed in the groove, and the second main body part is disposed on a side of the screen away from the third surface, and is configured to electrically connect to the circuit board. The first main body part and the second main body part are electrically connected by using the connecting section.
[0021] In this manner, connection between the first electrode and the circuit board is further facilitated. Compared with changing of a structure of the circuit board, the solution provided in this embodiment of this application is simpler and easier to operate.
[0022] In a possible implementation, the housing has a fourth surface away from the screen, and the second electrode is disposed on the fourth surface.
[0023] With such a design, the first electrode and the second electrode can be disposed oppositely, so that the user can clamp the wearable device more conveniently.
[0024] In a possible implementation, the housing includes a bottom housing that is located on a side of the wearable device facing the human body; and the fourth surface is located on the bottom housing.
[0025] Such a design can facilitate contact between the second electrode and a wearer when the wearable device is worn, and improve stability of contact between the second electrode and the wearer.
[0026] In a possible implementation, the wearable device includes a plurality of second electrodes.
[0027] The plurality of second electrodes are disposed, so that the second electrodes can be distributed more uniformly, facilitating contact between the second electrodes and the wearer and improving stability of contact between the second electrode and the wearer
[0028] In a possible implementation, the wearable device further includes an electrocardiogram module, and the electrocardiogram module is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode by using the circuit board.
[0029] By disposing the electrocardiogram module, the wearable device can detect a heart rate, an electrocardiogram, and the like of the user, so that the user can intuitively learn of a health condition of the user.
[0030] In a possible implementation, the wearable device further includes a photoplethysmography module that is mounted on the housing and configured to detect a heart rate of the human body.
[0031] The photoplethysmography module is disposed to detect data such as the heart rate of the human body, so that the wearer can learn of the health condition of the wearer more conveniently.

Specifically, the wearable device includes a screen, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a circuit board. The screen and the second electrode are mounted on a housing, the first electrode is connected to the screen and does not shield a display region of the screen, and the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected by using the circuit board. In a thickness direction of the wearable device, the first electrode has a first surface, the second electrode has a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface are used to contact a human body. Such a design can effectively reduce impact of the first electrode on the display region of the screen. In addition, the wearable device can be clamped when a user is in contact with the first surface and the second surface, so that a possibility that the wearable device is displaced relative to the user can be reduced.

[0042] With the improvement of living standards, people pay more attention to their health conditions. To facilitate detection of their health conditions, people usually wear electronic devices such as smart bands, so as to detect health data of the body. Being taken as an example, a smart band includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are parts made of materials with conductivity and are used to contact a human body. The first electrode and the second electrode are in contact with the human body and conduct bioelectricity generated by the human body. The first electrode and the second electrode are usually made of metal materials. The second electrode is usually disposed on a back side of the smart band: a side of the smart band away from a screen. For example, the smart band is worn on the left arm. The left arm is in contact with the second electrode when a user wears the smart band. When data such as a heart rate and an electrocardiogram needs to be detected, the user may use the right hand to touch the first electrode, so that the double arms, the torso, and the smart band form a closed loop passing through a position of the heart. An electrocardiogram module inside the smart band detects bioelectricity of the human body of the user by using the first electrode and the second electrode, so that an electrocardiogram can be generated. In addition, a detection result is displayed on the screen of the smart band, so that the user can intuitively learn of a health condition of the user.
[0043] Generally, the first electrode is disposed on the screen or a side surface of the smart band. When the first electrode is disposed on the screen, disposing the first electrode on the screen occupies a space of the screen because the first electrode is usually made of a metal sheet, thereby reducing an area of a display region of the screen. This is inconvenient for the user to obtain the detection result. In order not to occupy the display region of the screen, the first electrode may alternatively be disposed on the side surface of the smart band, for example, at a position such as a side button. However, in actual use, the user usually applies an acting force on the first electrode, so that the right hand can be in good contact with the first electrode. Because the first electrode is disposed on the side surface of the smart band, when the user applies the acting force on the first electrode, the smart band is pushed to move relative to the left arm. Because the smart band is displaced relative to the left arm, poor contact between the second electrode and the left arm is easily caused, thus affecting accuracy of the detection result.
[0044] In view of this, an embodiment of this application provides a wearable device, so as to solve a problem in the conventional technology that an electrode occupies a display region of a screen and is prone to poor contact with a human body.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, an embodiment of this application provides a wearable device, having a screen 2, a first electrode 3, a second electrode 4, and a circuit board 5. The first electrode 3 is connected to the screen 2 and does not shield a display region of the screen 2. For example, the first electrode 3 may be in a form of a grid and is disposed on a surface of a side of the screen 2 facing a user. A portion of the screen covered by the first electrode 3 in the form of a grid and a portion in a mesh form the display region; or the first electrode 3 is disposed in a circumferential direction of the screen 2 to avoid the surface of the side of the screen 2 facing the user, where the surface of the side of the screen 2 facing the user is the display region. The first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are electrically connected by using the circuit board 5. Specifically, in a thickness direction of the wearable device, the first electrode 3 has a first surface 31 used to contact a human body, and the second electrode 4 has a second surface 41 also used to contact the human body. In a possible implementation, the first surface 31 may be in contact with the right hand of the user, and the second surface 41 may be in contact with the left hand of the user, so that the wearable device, the double arms, and the torso of the user form a closed loop, and the wearable device can detect bioelectricity generated by the user so as to obtain electrocardiogram data of the user.
[0046] The wearable device provided in the embodiment of this application can reduce impact of the first electrode 3 on the display region of the screen 2. In the thickness direction of the wearable device, the first electrode 3 has the first surface 31, and the second electrode 4 has the second surface 41. By disposing the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 oppositely, the user can clamp the wearable device, for example, between the left hand and the right hand, while applying an acting force on the first surface 31 and the second surface 41, so that a possibility that the wearable device is displaced relative to the human body can be reduced. The first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 can be in good contact with the human body, so that a detection result can be more accurate.
[0047] To facilitate the description of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, a smart band is taken as an example for description in the specification of the embodiments of this application. It should be noted herein that the wearable device provided in the embodiments of this application includes but is not limited to a smart band. Other devices such as a watch, a mobile phone, and a tablet computer may adopt the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, adopt the same principle, and achieve the same technical effect, which are not detailed herein.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 2, according to the invention, a groove 21 is disposed in the screen 2 of the wearable device, which may be a smart band, and the groove 21 is located on a side of the screen 2 facing the user. Specifically, the groove 21 may be disposed on an edge of the screen 2, and the first electrode 3 is disposed along the groove 21.
[0049] According to the technical solution provided in this embodiment of this application, by disposing the groove 21 in the screen 2 and disposing the first electrode 3 in the groove 21, positioning of the first electrode 3 can be facilitated during processing to improve position accuracy of the first electrode 3, so that a possibility that the first electrode 3 shields the display region of the screen 2 can be reduced. Disposing the groove 21 at an edge position of the screen 2 can further reduce the impact on the display region of the screen 2.
[0050] In a possible implementation, the first electrode 3 is made of a nanometal. Specifically, the first electrode 3 may be made of nano silver paste. It is difficult to observe the nano silver paste with naked eyes because a width of the nano silver paste is relatively small, and is usually only a few nanometers. Therefore, the impact of the first electrode 3 on the display region of the screen 2 can be effectively reduced.
[0051] As shown in FIG. 2, in a possible implementation, a plurality of grooves 21 are disposed in the screen 2, and the grooves 21 are distributed in a form of a grid. A first electrode 3 is correspondingly disposed in each groove 21.
[0052] In this way, a distribution area of the first electrode 3 can be increased without increasing the width of the nanometal, thereby facilitating contact between the first electrode 3 and the user, and improving stability of contact between the first electrode 3 and the user.
[0053] In a possible implementation, because the impact of the first electrode 3 on the display region of the screen 2 is relatively small, an indication identifier may be displayed in a region of the screen 2 corresponding to the first electrode 3. When a health condition of the user needs to be detected by using the smart band, the screen 2 of the smart band displays a corresponding identifier to remind the user of a position of the first electrode 3. This facilitates use by the user and better meets an actual use requirement.
[0054] According to the invention, the screen 2 has a third surface 22 that is located on a side of the screen 2 away from the circuit board 5, and the groove 21 is disposed in the third surface 22, so as to facilitate contact with the user. Specifically, a conductive protective layer is further disposed on the third surface 22, covers at least a region in which the first electrode 3 is located, and is electrically connected to the first electrode 3.
[0055] With such a design, the first electrode 3 can be protected to reduce a possibility of causing damage to the first electrode 3. In addition, a set area of the conductive protective layer is greater than that of the first surface 31. Because the conductive protective layer is electrically connected to the first electrode 3, the user can be in contact with the first surface 31 of the first electrode 3 by being in contact with the conductive protective layer. Therefore, stability of contact between the user and the first electrode 3 can be effectively improved, better meeting an actual use requirement.
[0056] In a possible implementation, the conductive protective layer is a transparent conductive protective layer, and is disposed on the third surface 22 by spraying. With such a design, shielding of the conductive protective layer on the screen 2 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the impact on the display region of the screen 2.
[0057] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in a possible implementation, the first electrode 3 has a first main body part 33, a second main body part 34, and a connecting section 32. The first main body part 33 is disposed in the groove 21, and the second main body part 34 is disposed on a side of the screen 2 away from the third surface 22, that is, the first main body part 33 and the second main body part 34 are oppositely disposed. The first surface 31 is located on the first main body part 33, and the second main body part 34 is configured to electrically connect to the circuit board 5; and the first main body part 33 and the second main body part 34 are electrically connected by using the connecting section 32.
[0058] With such a design, electrical connection between the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5 is further facilitated. Compared with a solution of facilitating electrical connection between the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5 by changing a shape of the circuit board 5, the solution provided in the embodiment of this application is more convenient during processing, easier to operate, and better meets an actual use requirement.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 5, in an example not covered by the claimed invention, a housing 1 is connected to the screen 2. Specifically, the housing 1 may be disposed along the edge of the screen; and at least a portion of the housing 1 is made of a conductive ceramic that may be used to form the first electrode 3.
[0060] According to the wearable device provided in the embodiment of this application, the conductive ceramic is disposed on the housing 1 to form the first electrode 3, so that a space occupied by the first electrode 3 on the screen 2 can be effectively reduced, and the health condition of the user can be obtained by the user more conveniently by using the screen 2.
[0061] Generally, the electrode of the smart band is made of a metal material, and an electro-static discharge (Electro-Static discharge, ESD) phenomenon is easy to occur. Because a working principle of the smart band is to detect various health indicators of the human body by detecting bioelectricity generated by the human body of the user, when static electricity is generated by the metal electrode, a detection result of the smart band is easily affected, and accuracy of the detection result is reduced. However, according to the solution provided in the embodiment of this application, the first electrode 3 is made of the conductive ceramic, so that a possibility that the electro-static discharge phenomenon occurs can be effectively reduced, and impact of static electricity on the detection result of the smart band can be reduced, improving accuracy of the detection result.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 5, the first electrode 3 is in a form of a ring, and is sleeved to the screen 2. That is, the housing 1 of the smart band may be manufactured by using a conductive ceramic.
[0063] With such a design, a connection step between the conductive ceramic and the housing 1 can be effectively reduced, integrity of the housing 1 is improved, the process is simplified, and production efficiency is improved. In addition, with such a design, the area of the first surface 31 of the first electrode 3 can be increased, and contact between the user and the first electrode 3 is further facilitated. Because the conductive ceramic is sleeved to the screen 2 in the form of a ring, the user can be in contact with the first electrode 3 by being in contact with any position along the edge of the screen 2. When in use, the position of the first electrode 3 does not need to be searched for based on an identifier. This facilitates use and better meets an actual use requirement.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 6, in an example not covered by the claimed invention, the wearable device further includes an elastic part 6 through which the circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the first electrode 3.
[0065] Specifically, the elastic part 6 may be a conductive elastic sheet, conductive foam, or the like. In a process of assembling the smart band, the elastic part 6 is located between the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5, and when the housing 1 is made of the conductive ceramic, the elastic part 6 may be disposed between the housing 1 and the circuit board 5. When assembled, the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5 abut against the elastic part 6, so that the elastic part 6 is elastically deformed. The elastic part 6 has a movement trend to recover the deformation, and therefore, the elastic part 6 abuts against the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5 under an action of a restoring force to improve stability of electrical connection.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 6, the housing 1 has a fourth surface 11 that is located on a side of the housing 1 away from the screen 2, and the second electrode 4 is disposed on the fourth surface 11.
[0067] Such a design further facilitates contact between the second electrode 4 and the user. When the user wears the smart band, the fourth surface 11 is located on a side of the smart band facing the user's arm. The smart band is worn on the user's arm, and therefore, the second electrode 4 can be in contact with the user's arm.
[0068] The fourth surface 11 may have a plurality of second electrodes 4, and a contact area between the second electrodes 4 and the user can be increased by disposing the plurality of the second electrodes 4, so that contact between the second electrodes 4 and the user is further facilitated, stability of contact between the second electrodes 4 and the user is improved, and accuracy of the detection result is improved.
[0069] In a possible implementation, the wearable device further includes an electrocardiogram module, and the electrocardiogram module is electrically connected to the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 by using the circuit board 5.
[0070] The electrocardiogram module is disposed, so that the smart band can detect a cardiac function of the user.
[0071] A specific electrocardiogram module may include an electrocardiography (Electrocardiography, ECG) module, a photoplethysmogram (Photoplethysmogram, PPG) module, and the like. An electrocardiogram of the user may be generated by using the ECG module, and the PPG module can detect the heart rate of the user. A detection result of the electrocardiogram module may be displayed by using the screen 2, so that the user can more intuitively learn of the health condition of the user; and when a health problem occurs, the user can detect the problem in time and take countermeasures.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 7, in an example not covered by the claimed invention, the wearable device includes a first electrode 3 made of a conductive ceramic. The first electrode 3 may be sleeved on an outer side of the screen 2 in a form of a ring, the housing 1 has a bottom housing 12, and the fourth surface 11 is located on a side of the bottom housing 12 facing the wearer. Two second electrodes 4 may be disposed on the fourth surface 11. The two second electrodes 4 are disposed, so that the second electrodes 4 can be more uniformly distributed on the fourth surface 11, facilitating contact between the second electrodes 4 and the wearer, and improving stability of contact with the wearer. The wearable device is further provided with an elastic part 6 that may be a conductive spring plate. The first electrode 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 5 by using the conductive spring plate. Such a design can improve stability of electrical connection between the first electrode 3 and the circuit board 5. The second electrode 4 is also electrically connected to the circuit board 5. When the wearer releases the first surface 31 of the first electrode 3 and the second surface 41 of the second electrode 4 simultaneously, the first electrode 3, the second electrode 4, the circuit board 5, and the human body can form a closed loop to conduct bioelectricity of the human body. The ECG module (not shown in the figure) located in the circuit board 5 may generate an electrocardiogram of the wearer based on the bioelectricity of the human body, so that the wearer can conveniently learn of the health condition of the wearer.
[0073] The embodiment of this application provides a wearable device that may be a smart band or the like. Specifically, the wearable device includes a screen 2, a first electrode 3, a second electrode 4, and a circuit board 5. The screen 2 and the second electrode 4 are mounted on a housing 1, the first electrode 3 is connected to the screen 2 and does not shield a display region of the screen 2, and the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are connected by using the circuit board 5. In a thickness direction of the wearable device, the first electrode 3 has a first surface 31, the second electrode 4 has a second surface 41, and the first surface 31 and the second surface 41 are used to contact a human body. Such a design can effectively reduce impact of the first electrode 3 on the display region of the screen 2. In addition, the wearable device can be clamped when a user is in contact with the first surface 31 and the second surface 41, so that a possibility that the wearable device is displaced relative to the user can be reduced, and stability of contact between the human body and the wearable device can be improved.
