Abstract
Description
Wearable electronic device and method of operation thereof
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a wearable electronic device and a method of operating the same, which can adjust the wearing of an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) to be loose or tight (e.g., adjusting the fit of a wearable electronic device) according to a user's activity state and external environmental conditions (e.g., temperature and humidity).
[0002] Electronic devices (e.g., wearable electronic devices, smartwatches, smart bands) are miniaturized and lightweight electronic devices that can be worn on a user's body. Wearable electronic devices can be highly portable, which can enhance their usability. Because they are in close proximity to the user's body, they can be utilized for a variety of purposes. Wearable electronic devices may include multiple sensors (e.g., motion sensors, proximity sensors, temperature sensors, biometric sensors) to measure the state of the wearable electronic device on the user's body (e.g., whether it is being worn) and the user's movements and biometric information. Wearable electronic devices can use these sensors to detect proximity (or contact) with the body, determine whether the wearable device is being worn, and determine the user's movements.
[0003] The above-described material is provided solely as background information to aid in understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no claims are made, as to whether any of the above material constitutes prior art in connection with the present disclosure.
[0004] A flexible display may be applied to an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smartwatch). The electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smartwatch) may be configured to wrap around at least a portion of a user's wrist. The user may touch the display (e.g., a screen) of the electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smartwatch) to execute a function. The fit desired by the user may vary depending on the user's activity state (e.g., sleep, rest, exercise, swimming), and in order to adjust the fit of the electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smartwatch), the user directly shortens or lengthens the length of the strap (e.g., a band).
[0005] Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a wearable electronic device and an operating method thereof that can adjust the fit of an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) to be loose or tight (e.g., tight) according to a user's activity state (e.g., sleep, rest, exercise, swimming) and external environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity).
[0006] An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a wearable electronic device and an operating method thereof that can display a user interface (e.g., content) on a display so that a user can intuitively recognize that the fit of the electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) is adjusted.
[0007] Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide an electronic device and an operating method thereof that provide a function to fine-tune the fit of an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) to a basic value and then adjust the fit according to a user's needs.

When the above instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device can detect the state of being worn on the user's wrist using the sensor module. Based on the detection of the state of being worn on the user's wrist, the user's activity state can be determined using the sensor module. Based on a change in the user's activity state, at least one of the angle between the housing structures and the bending curvature of the display can be adjusted.

In the method, when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, the electronic device may detect a state in which the wearable electronic device is worn on a user's wrist using the sensor module. In the method, when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, the wearable electronic device may determine an activity state of the user using the sensor module based on the detection of a state in which the wearable electronic device is worn on the user's wrist. The above method of operation may cause the wearable electronic device to adjust at least one of an angle between the housing structures and a bending curvature of the display based on a change in the activity state of the user when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a recording medium storing instructions readable by at least one processor of a wearable electronic device may cause the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, to detect a state in which the wearable electronic device is worn on a user's wrist using a sensor module. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, may cause the instructions, based on the detection of the state in which the wearable electronic device is worn on the user's wrist, to determine an activity state of the user using the sensor module. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, may cause the wearable electronic device to perform an operation of adjusting at least one of an angle between housing structures and a bending curvature of the display based on a change in the activity state of the user.
[0012] A wearable electronic device and an operating method thereof according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can display a user interface (e.g., content) on a display so that a user can intuitively recognize that the fit of an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) is adjusted.

[0181] According to one embodiment, the display (220) may include a first display (e.g., the first display (221) of FIG. 2A, a main display, a center display, a main display area), a second display (e.g., the second display (222) of FIG. 2A, a first sub-display, a first sub-display area, an outer display), and a third display (e.g., the third display (223) of FIG. 2A, a second sub-display, a second sub-display area, an inner display).
[0182] According to one embodiment, the DDIC (430) can separately drive each of the first display (221) (e.g., main display, center display, main display area), the second display (222) (e.g., first sub-display, first sub-display area), and the third display (223) (e.g., second sub-display, second sub-display area). For example, the DDIC (430) can control each of the first display (221) (e.g., main display, center display, main display area), the second display (222) (e.g., first sub-display, first sub-display area), and the third display (223) (e.g., second sub-display, second sub-display area) to display content as separate displays.
[0183] According to one embodiment, the DDIC (430) can drive a first display (221) (e.g., a main display, a center display, a main display area), a second display (222) (e.g., a first sub-display, a first sub-display area), and a third display (223) (e.g., a second sub-display, a second sub-display area) in conjunction with each other. For example, the DDIC (430) can control the first display (221) (e.g., a main display, a center display, a main display area), the second display (222) (e.g., a first sub-display, a first sub-display area), and the third display (223) (e.g., a second sub-display, a second sub-display area) to display content as a single integrated display.
[0184] According to one embodiment, the DDIC (430) may operate under the control of a processor (e.g., processor (320) of FIG. 3A). For example, the DDIC (430) may include an interface module (431), a memory (433) (e.g., a buffer memory), an image processing module (435), or a mapping module (437).
[0185] According to one embodiment, the DDIC (430) can receive image information including image data or an image control signal corresponding to a command for controlling the image data from another component of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 3) through an interface module (431).
[0186] According to one embodiment, the image information may be received from a processor (320) (e.g., the main processor (121) of FIG. 1) (e.g., an application processor) or an auxiliary processor (e.g., the auxiliary processor (123) of FIG. 1) (e.g., a graphics processing unit) that operates independently of the functions of the main processor (121).
[0187] According to one embodiment, the DDIC (430) may communicate with the touch circuit (450) and / or the sensor module (176) using the interface module (431). In addition, the DDIC (430) may store at least some of the received image information in the memory (433). As an example, the DDIC (430) may store at least some of the received image information in the memory (433) on a frame-by-frame basis.
[0188] According to one embodiment, the image processing module (435) may perform preprocessing or postprocessing (e.g., resolution, brightness, or size adjustment) on at least a portion of the image data based at least on characteristics of the image data or characteristics of the display (220).
[0189] According to one embodiment, the mapping module (437) may generate a voltage value or a current value corresponding to the image data pre-processed or post-processed through the image processing module (435). According to one embodiment, the generation of the voltage value or the current value may be performed at least in part based on, for example, properties of the pixels of the display (220) (e.g., arrangement of pixels (RGB stripe or pentile structure), or size of each sub-pixel).
[0190] According to one embodiment, at least some pixels of the display (220) may be driven based at least in part on, for example, the voltage value or current value, so that visual information (e.g., text, an image, or an icon) corresponding to the image data may be displayed through the display (220).
[0191] According to one embodiment, the touch circuit (450) may include a touch sensor (451) (e.g., a touch screen) and a touch sensor IC (453, touch fingerprint sensor integrated circuit).
[0192] According to one embodiment, the touch circuit (450) can detect a touch input or hovering input for a specific location of the display (220). The touch sensor IC (453) can control the touch sensor (451) (e.g., a touch screen) to detect the touch input or hovering input. For example, the touch sensor IC (453) can detect the touch input or hovering input by measuring a change in a signal (e.g., voltage, light quantity, resistance, or charge quantity) for a specific location of the display (220). The touch sensor IC (453) can provide information (e.g., location, area, pressure, or time) about the detected touch input or hovering input to the processor (320) (e.g., transmit to the processor (320), input to the processor (320).
[0193] According to one embodiment, the touch sensor (451) (e.g., a touch screen) may be applied in an add-on manner in which the touch sensor (451) is manufactured separately and separately placed on the upper part (e.g., above) of the display (220).
[0194] According to one embodiment, the touch sensor (451) (e.g., a touch screen) may be applied in an on cell manner in which the touch sensor (451) is placed on the upper portion of the display (220).
[0195] According to one embodiment, the touch sensor (451) (e.g., a touch screen) may be applied in an in-cell manner in which the touch sensor (451) is arranged together with the pixels of the display (220).
[0196] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the touch circuit (450) (e.g., the touch sensor IC (453)) may be included as part of the DDIC (430) or the display (220).
[0197] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the touch circuit (450) (e.g., touch sensor IC (453)) may be included as part of another component (e.g., auxiliary processor (123)) disposed external to the display module (380).
[0198] According to one embodiment, the display module (380) may further include at least one sensor of the sensor module (176), or a control circuit of the sensor module (176). In this case, the at least one sensor or the control circuit thereof may be embedded in a part of the display module (380) (e.g., the display (220) or the DDIC (430)) or a part of the touch circuit (450).
[0199] For example, if the sensor module (176) embedded in the display module (380) includes a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor can obtain (e.g., receive) pressure information associated with a touch input through a portion or the entire area of the display (220).
[0200] According to one embodiment, the touch sensor (451) or sensor module (176) may be positioned between pixels of a pixel layer of the display (220), or above or below the pixel layer.
[0201] According to one embodiment, the display module (380) may include a digitizer (460) for detecting an input (e.g., a touch input or a hovering input) of an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen). For example, a digitizer driving unit (470) that drives the digitizer (460) may be included as a component of the display module (160). For example, the digitizer driving unit (470) that drives the digitizer (460) may be included as a separate component from the display module (160). For example, the digitizer (460) may convert analog coordinates (e.g., a position) of an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) into digital coordinate data. The digitizer (460) may transmit the digital coordinate data to a processor (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) and / or a DDIC (430).
[0202] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may obtain (e.g., receive) digital coordinate data input from the digitizer (460). The processor (320) may detect an input (e.g., a touch input or a hovering input) through an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) based on the digital coordinate data. For example, the digitizer (460) may include a plurality of x-axis channels and a plurality of y-axis channels. The processor (320) may sense the position of the electronic pen (e.g., the stylus pen) using sensing signals (e.g., electro magnetic resonance (EMR) signals) received from the x-axis channels and the y-axis channels arranged in the digitizer (460). For example, a digitizer (460) may have a plurality of x-axis channels and a plurality of y-axis channels sequentially arranged, and a processor (320) may sense the position of an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) using sensing signals received from a plurality of consecutive channels (e.g., three adjacent channels).
[0203] In one embodiment, the digitizer (460) may be hidden from the outside by the display (220), electronic components, and mechanisms.
[0204] For example, the digitizer (460) may be disposed integrally with a flat panel display or a flexible display. For example, the digitizer (460) may be disposed adjacent to the flat panel display or the flexible display. For example, when the digitizer (460) is applied to the display (220), the digitizer (460) may include one EMR (electro magnetic resonance) sheet (or EMR film). A plurality of x-axis channels and a plurality of y-axis channels for detecting the position of the electronic pen may be disposed on one EMR sheet.
[0205] For example, the digitizer (460) may be disposed integrally with a flexible display (e.g., a rollable display) or adjacent to the flexible display. For example, the digitizer (460) may be disposed at the lower portion (e.g., bottom) of the display (220).
[0206] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) may further include an ultrasonic sensor (not shown) that uses ultrasonic waves to identify a user's touch, and an ultrasonic sensor driver (not shown) that drives the ultrasonic sensor.
[0207] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating adjusting the degree of tightening (e.g., loosening or tightening) of an electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch, smart band) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure when worn on a user's wrist.
[0208] Referring to FIG. 5, the wearing of an electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, a smart band) can be adjusted to be loose or tight (e.g., fit adjustment of a wearable electronic device) according to the user's activity status and external environmental conditions.
[0209] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can drive a first hinge driving module (e.g., a first hinge driving module (231) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) to adjust an angle formed by a first housing (e.g., a first housing (211) of FIGS. 2A and 2B, a main housing) and a second housing (e.g., a second housing (212) of FIGS. 2A and 2B, a first sub-housing). The electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can drive a second hinge driving module (232) to adjust an angle formed by a first housing (211) (e.g., a main housing) and a third housing (e.g., a third housing (213) of FIGS. 2A and 2B, a second sub-housing). As illustrated in “510”, when the electronic device (200) is worn on the user’s wrist, the hinge (e.g., the hinge (230) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) is driven to adjust the angle of the housing (e.g., the housing (210) of FIGS. 2A and 2B), thereby controlling the electronic device (200) to be worn loosely or tightly.
[0210] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can adjust the bending curvature of the second display (222) (e.g., a first sub-display, a first sub-display area) so that the second display (222) (e.g., a first sub-display, a first sub-display area) has a curved shape (e.g., a curved shape to fit the shape of the wrist). The electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can adjust the bending curvature of the third display (223) (e.g., a second sub-display, a second sub-display area) so that the third display (223) (e.g., a second sub-display, a second sub-display area) has a flat shape. As illustrated in “520”, by adjusting the bending curvature of at least a portion of the display (220), the electronic device (200) can be adjusted to be worn loosely or tightly when worn on the user’s wrist.
[0211] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can be controlled to be worn loosely or tightened (e.g., tightly) by adjusting the angle of a housing (e.g., housing (210) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) and adjusting the bending curvature of at least a portion of a display (220) (530).
[0212] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) can detect a state of being worn on a user's wrist using the sensor module (176). The electronic device (200) (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) can check the user's activity state using the sensor module (176) based on the detection of the state of being worn on the user's wrist. The electronic device (200) (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) can adjust at least one of an angle between the housing (210) structures and a bending curvature of a display (e.g., a display (220) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) based on a change in the user's activity state.
[0213] For example, changing the angle between the housing (210) structures may include operating a first hinge drive module (e.g., the first hinge drive module (231) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) to change the angle between the first housing (e.g., the first housing (211) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) and the second housing (e.g., the second housing (212) of FIGS. 2A and 2B).
[0214] For example, changing the angle between the housing (210) structures may include operating a second hinge drive module (e.g., the second hinge drive module (232) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) to change the angle between the first housing (e.g., the first housing (211) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) and the third housing (e.g., the third housing (213) of FIGS. 2A and 2B).
[0215] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing (e.g., visually indicating) a user interface that adjusts the tightness (e.g., loosens or tightens) of an electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch, smart band) depending on the situation.
[0216] Referring to FIG. 6, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) may display (610) on a display (e.g., display (220) of FIGS. 2A and 2B) that the fit is loosely adjusted.
[0217] For example, a user interface (611) (or content) indicating that the fit is loosely adjusted can be displayed on the display (220) so that the user can intuitively recognize that the fit is loosely adjusted automatically depending on the situation.
[0218] In one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) may display on a display (220) that the fit is adjusted to be tight (e.g., tighter) (620).
[0219] For example, a user interface (621) (or content) indicating that the fit is being adjusted to be tightened (e.g., tighter) automatically depending on the situation can be intuitively recognized by the user, and the fit can be displayed on the display (220).
[0220] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a feature that allows a user to manually fine-tune the tightness (e.g., loosen or tighten) of an electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smartwatch).
[0221] Referring to FIG. 7, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) may provide a function that allows for fine adjustment of the degree of tightening (e.g., loosening or tightening) of the electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch).
[0222] According to one embodiment, when the fit of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) is adjusted to a preset value, the user may fine-tune the tightness (e.g., loosen or tighten) of the electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) when the user desires to fine-tune the fit.
[0223] For example, when the fit of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) is adjusted to a preset value, the fit can be loosely and finely adjusted by the user's fine adjustment selection (710).
[0224] For example, when the fit of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) is adjusted to a preset value, the fit can be finely adjusted (e.g., made tighter) by a user's fine adjustment selection (720).
[0225] FIG. 8 is a drawing showing that the degree of tightening (e.g., loosening or tightening) of an electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) is adjusted by changing the angle of a hinge.
[0226] Referring to FIG. 8, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a wearable electronic device, a smart watch) can be controlled to be worn loosely or tightened (e.g., tightly) by adjusting the angle of a housing (e.g., the housing (210) of FIGS. 2A and 2B).
[0227] For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be loose, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially increased. For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be tight, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially decreased.

[0230] For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be loose, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially increased. For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be tight, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially decreased.
[0231] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing that the degree of tightening (e.g., loosening or tightening) of an electronic device (e.g., wearable electronic device, smart watch) is adjusted by changing the angle of a hinge and changing the bending curvature of a sub-display.

In addition to adjusting the angle of the housing (e.g., the housing (210) of FIGS. 2A and 2B), the electronic device (200) can be controlled to be worn loosely (1130) or tightly (1140) by adjusting the bending curvature of a second display (222) (e.g., a first sub-display, a first sub-display area) and a third display (223) (e.g., a second sub-display, a second sub-display area).
[0233] For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be loose, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially increased. For example, when the fit of the electronic device (200) is adjusted to be tight, the length (e.g., width) of the band (e.g., fastening member (240)) can be substantially decreased.
