AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Smartwatches are rendered inoperable by thick, long-sleeved clothing due to sensors not contacting the skin, necessitating sleeve rolling, which compromises visibility and warmth, especially in cold weather.

Method used

A wristband with a window that allows the smartwatch face to protrude, ensuring sensor contact with the skin and visibility while wearing thick clothing, using an elastic material to secure the smartwatch.

Benefits of technology

Enables normal operation and biological measurement of smartwatches under thick clothing, maintaining warmth and visibility, with the smartwatch face visible through the wristband window.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wristband with a window for a smartwatch. [Background technology]

[0002] A smartwatch is a wristwatch-type electronic device equipped with a touch-type LCD display that is designed to be used with a smartphone.

[0003] Smartwatches are worn on the wrist like wristwatches, and in addition to complementing the functions of smartphones, they also have various functions that allow them to operate independently. They also have the ability to measure vital signs such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels using electrical signals obtained from the skin surface. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] Real all Showa 60-061077 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In order for the smartwatch to operate correctly, the various sensors on the back of the smartwatch must be in contact with the skin. However, if the smartwatch is worn correctly on the wrist and thick long-sleeved clothing with closed cuffs, such as a jumper, blouson, windbreaker, or down jacket, is worn, the smartwatch will be hidden under the sleeve and will not be visible, making it meaningless to wear it. In order to check the face of the smartwatch, the sleeve of the wrist on which the smartwatch is worn must be rolled up with the other hand each time. If the other hand is occupied by holding an umbrella, luggage, etc., the sleeve cannot be rolled up, making it invisible and meaningless to wear it. On the other hand, if the smartwatch is worn over the sleeve, the various sensors on the back of the smartwatch will not come into contact with the skin, and not only will it not function properly, but it will not even start up. In the coldest season, if the sleeves of long-sleeved clothing are rolled up to operate the smartwatch correctly, the skin will be exposed, making it very inconvenient to protect the wrist from the cold. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention described in claim 1 is a wristband having a window that allows the face of a smartwatch to be viewed without being hidden by the sleeve of clothing worn to keep warm, such as a jumper, blouson, windbreaker, or down jacket. Effect of the Invention

[0007] When wearing a smartwatch and the wristband of this invention, the face of the smartwatch is revealed through a window on the surface of the wristband, allowing users to check the time and other information, as well as to use all of the smartwatch's functions, such as various operations and settings by touching the screen. The various sensors on the back of the smartwatch are in contact with the skin, so the smartwatch starts up normally, and the electrical signals obtained from the skin surface allow for normal measurement of vital signs such as heart rate and blood oxygen. The wristband covers the area around the wrist, helping to protect the wrist from the cold.

[0008] The window in the wristband is not just a hole; it is made of an elastic material that fits securely over the face of the smartwatch, so it will not fall out of the window and you can always see the smartwatch through the wristband window, even during strenuous exercise. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. EXAMPLES

[0011] In Figure 1, 1 is the wristband. 2 is the face of the smartwatch. 3 is the window. 3 is provided on 1.

[0012] By wearing the smartwatch 2 in the usual way and then wearing the wristband 1 equipped with the device, and exposing the face of the smartwatch through the window 3 provided in the wristband 1, it is possible to not only check the time, but also to use all of the functions of the smartwatch, such as various operations and settings by touching the screen, while at the same time protecting the wrist from the cold. [Explanation of symbols]

[0013] 1 Wristband 2. Smartwatch 3. Windows

Claims

[Claim 1] This wristband is characterized by having a window through which the face (liquid crystal display portion) of a smartwatch worn on the wrist can be viewed when wearing long-sleeved clothing for the purpose of keeping warm, such as a jumper, blouson, windbreaker, or down jacket.
