Description

A wearable device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present specification relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a wearable device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With people paying more and more attention to sports health, heart rate during exercise gradually becomes an indispensable detection index for people. Through understanding their own heart rate changes, athletes can help them better grasp their own health status, and can also adjust exercise intensity according to heart rate to guide training plan and gradually improve sports performance.

[0003] People often use a heart rate belt to detect heart rate during exercise. In use, the heart rate belt needs to be close to the skin, so that the two electrocardio electrodes on the heart rate belt can collect the potential difference of the potential at the location to obtain an electrocardio signal. Since the electrocardio electrodes need to be close to the skin, the heart rate belt needs to be taken off or lifted up when worn, which has a high requirement for privacy of the wearing scene. At the same time, in order to ensure the adhesion of the electrocardio electrodes to the skin, the heart rate belt is often made of a highly elastic substrate through warp knitting or weft knitting, but the wearing comfort of the heart rate belt obtained based on this is low. In addition, static electricity will be generated due to the contact between the heart rate belt and the clothes, which will affect the potential value collected by the two electrocardio electrodes, thereby affecting the obtained electrocardio signal and causing interference.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a wearable device that can expand the wearing scene of the sports heart rate monitoring device, improve the wearing comfort of the user, and at the same time avoid static electricity generated between the heart rate belt and the clothes, and ensure the accuracy of the obtained electrocardio signal.

However, if other words can achieve the same purpose, the words can be replaced by other expressions.

[0041] As shown in the specification and claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the words "one", "a", "an", and / or "the" do not mean to specify a single number, but also include a plurality. Generally speaking, the terms "comprise" and "include" only indicate the inclusion of the steps and elements explicitly identified, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list, and the method or device can also include other steps or elements.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a wearable device, according to some embodiments of the present specification.

[0043] The application scenario 100 of the wearable device (hereinafter referred to as the application scenario 100) can be used to monitor the electrical signal generated by the user's body. The electrical signal generated by the user's body can include the electrocardiosignal of the user 110. The electrical signal generated by the user's body can also include other content, for example, can also include the electromyosignal of the user 110.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, the application scenario 100 of the wearable device includes a user 110, a monitoring device 130, a wearable device 120, a network 140, and a terminal device 150. The user can wear the wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 can be provided with the monitoring device 130 electrically connected thereto. The monitoring device 130 can receive and monitor the electrical signal generated by the user's body through the wearable device 120 and transmit it to the terminal device 150 through the network 140.

[0045] The user 110 refers to the object who needs to monitor the electrical signal generated by his / her body.

[0046] The wearable device 120 is a device used to assist in monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body. As shown in FIG. 1, the user 110 can wear the wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body (not shown in the figure) to the monitoring device 130 for monitoring by the monitoring device 130. In some embodiments, the wearable device 120 can include a shirt with a conductive electrode. When the user 110 wears the aforementioned shirt, the conductive electrode is electrically connected to the detection device, and the conductive electrode can transmit the electrical signal received by the inner surface of the shirt to the monitoring device 130 for monitoring by the monitoring device 130. More information about the above-mentioned embodiments can be found in the relevant description below in this specification, for example, FIG. 2 and its relevant description.

[0047] The monitoring device 130 refers to the device for monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body. It can be understood that when different electrical signals are monitored, the corresponding monitoring device 130 can be different. For example, when the electrocardiosignal generated by the user's body needs to be monitored, the monitoring device 130 can be a heart rate strap. For another example, when the electromyosignal generated by the user's body needs to be monitored, the monitoring device 130 can be an electromyosignal monitoring strap. As shown in FIG. 1, the wearable device 120 can be provided with one monitoring device 130. The wearable device 120 can also be provided with multiple same or different monitoring devices 130.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring device 130 can be disposed on the outer surface of the wearable device 120 to facilitate receiving the electrical signal generated by the user's body transmitted by the wearable device 120. The monitoring device 130 can be provided with a plurality of electrodes, which can be connected with the conductive electrodes of the wearable device 120 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body. For example, when the monitoring device 130 is a heart rate strap, the heart rate strap can be provided with two electrodes, which are connected with different areas of the wearable device 120 to obtain the electrical potential of different positions of the user's body, and the electrical potential difference between the two positions can be used to obtain the electrocardiogram of the user 110.

[0049] The network 140 can connect the components of the application scenario 100 (e.g., the terminal device 150, the monitoring device 130, etc.) and / or connect the application scenario 100 with external resource parts. The network 140 can enable communication between the components of the application scenario 100 and other parts outside the application scenario 100, and facilitate exchange of data and / or information. For example, the terminal device 150 can obtain the electrical signal generated by the user's body collected by the monitoring device 130 through the network 140.

[0050] The network 140 can be any form of wired or wireless network, or any combination thereof. For example only, the network 140 can include a cable network, a wireline network, a fiber optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless local area network (WLAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a Bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a near-field communication (NFC) network, etc., or any combination thereof. The network 140 can include at least one network access point, through which at least one component of the application scenario 100 can connect to the network 140 to exchange data and / or information. For example, the collected electrical signal generated by the user's body can be transmitted through the network 140.

[0051] The terminal device 150 refers to a device and / or software used by a user related to the application scenario 100. The user related to the application scenario 100 includes, but is not limited to, the user 110, a doctor (e.g., a clinician, a radiotherapist), a nurse, and the like. For example, the terminal device 150 can be a device or software for controlling the monitoring device 130. The user can issue a control instruction to the monitoring device 130 through the terminal device 150, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body. For example, the terminal device 150 can send the control instruction input by the user to the monitoring device 130 through the network 140, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect the electrical signal generated by the user's body 110. In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can obtain the electrical signal generated by the user's body 110 collected by the monitoring device 130 through the network 140. In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can be one or any combination of a mobile device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and the like other devices with input and / or output functions.

[0052] It should be noted that the foregoing description of the application scenario 100 is merely for example and illustration, and does not limit the scope of the present specification. Various modifications and changes can be made to the application scenario 100 under the guidance of the present specification. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of the present specification. For example, the application scenario 100 can further include a storage device (not shown in the figure), and the foregoing storage device can store data, instructions, and / or any other information (e.g., the foregoing storage device can store data obtained from the monitoring device 130 and / or the terminal device 150). For another example, the components in the application scenario 100 can be integrated together or independently arranged (e.g., the foregoing storage device can be arranged in the terminal device 150).

[0053] FIG. 2 is an exemplary structural block diagram of a wearable device according to some embodiments of the present specification.

[0054] The wearable device 200 can assist the monitoring device (e.g., the monitoring device 130 shown in FIG. 1) in monitoring the electrical signal generated by the user's body.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the wearable device 200 includes a shirt 210 with a conductive electrode 220. The shirt 210 includes an inner surface in contact with the user's skin and an outer surface away from the skin; the conductive electrode 220 is arranged on the shirt 210, and the conductive electrode 220 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body from the inner surface of the shirt 210 to the outer surface.

[0056] In use, the user can first wear the wearable device 200, and then wear the monitoring device on the outer surface of the wearable device 200, and collect the electrical signal transmitted to the outer surface through the monitoring device.

[0057] The upper garment 210 refers to various clothes that can receive the electrical signal (e.g., electrocardiogram signal) generated by the user's body. For example, the upper garment 210 can be a T-shirt, sports underwear, etc. In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 can be made of soft and close-fitting high-elastic fabric to ensure that the monitoring device disposed in the upper garment 210 can be closely attached to the user's skin, thereby ensuring the monitoring accuracy of the monitoring device. For example, the fabric of the upper garment 210 can include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, etc.), animal fibers (e.g., wool, etc.), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, polyester, etc.), etc. In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 can generate corresponding deformation based on the user's action changes. For example, when the user breathes, the upper garment 210 can deform with the user's inhaling and exhaling actions, thereby ensuring that the conductive electrode 220 disposed in the upper garment 210 can be closely attached to the user's skin at any time.

[0058] In some embodiments, the inner surface is provided with a first area 211, and the outer surface is provided with a second area 212. The upper garment 210 can receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body through the first area 211, the first area 211 and the second area 212 are electrically connected through the conductive electrode 220, and the second area 212 can transmit the electrical signal generated by the user's body to the external electrode. More details about the first area 211, the second area 212, the conductive electrode 220, and the external electrode can be referred to the relevant description below in this specification.

[0059] In some embodiments, the upper garment 210 further includes an anti-slip area. The anti-slip area can increase the friction between the corresponding area and the skin to prevent relative sliding with the skin.

[0060] The anti-slip area can be of any shape. For example, the shape of the anti-slip area can include one or more of, but not limited to, a square, a circle, a circular ring, a triangle, and a corrugated shape, etc. The anti-slip area can be a complete area, or can include a plurality of relatively independent sub-anti-slip areas, and the shapes of the plurality of relatively independent sub-anti-slip areas can be the same or different.

[0061] The anti-slip region is arranged on the inner surface of the upper garment 210 to avoid relative sliding between the first region 211 and the skin. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be located within the first region 211. When the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, the shape and area of the anti-slip region can be the same as or different from the first region 211. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can also be a surrounding region of the first region 211. For example, the anti-slip region can be arranged around the edges of the first region 211. The anti-slip region can also be arranged on the inner surface of the upper garment 210 in other ways. For example, the anti-slip region can be partially located within the first region 211 and partially arranged outside the first region 211.

[0062] In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be arranged in various ways to achieve its anti-slip effect. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region can be knitted from anti-slip threads. The aforementioned anti-slip threads can be made of one or more anti-slip materials. For example, the anti-slip threads can be made of one or more of silicone, polyvinyl chloride, etc. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region is coated with an anti-slip material. For example, when the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, an anti-slip material can be coated on part of the first region 211 to form the anti-slip region. The aforementioned anti-slip material can include but is not limited to silicone, rubber, polyvinyl chloride, etc.

[0063] Some embodiments of the present specification can increase the friction between the first region 211 and the skin by arranging the anti-slip region, prevent relative sliding between the first region 211 and the skin, and thus increase the stability of the first region 211 in receiving the electrical signals generated by the user's body, avoiding fluctuations in the electrical signals generated by the user's body caused by relative sliding.

[0064] The conductive electrode 220 is configured to electrically connect the first region 211 of the inner surface and the second region 212 of the outer surface. In some embodiments, the first region 211 of the inner surface can be the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin, i.e., the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin constitutes part of the inner surface of the upper garment 210. The second region 212 of the outer surface can be the region where the conductive electrode 220 faces away from the skin, i.e., the region where the conductive electrode 220 faces away from the skin constitutes part of the outer surface of the upper garment 210. The electrical signals generated by the user's body can be transmitted to the second region 212 of the outer surface through the conductive electrode 220 via the first region 211 of the inner surface, and transmitted to the external electrode through the second region 212. The aforementioned external electrode refers to the electrode of the monitoring device. For example, when the monitoring device is a heart rate strap, the external electrode is the electrode of the heart rate strap.

[0065] The first area 211 is configured to receive the electrical signal generated by the user's body. It can be understood that when collecting the electrical signal generated by the user's body, the first area 211 needs to be arranged at the corresponding area of the body to ensure the accuracy of the electrical signal received by the first area 211. For example, when collecting the electrocardio signal, the first area 211 needs to be arranged at the area (e.g., the chest or the waist) of the body where the electrocardio signal can be collected.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first area 211 includes two first conductive areas 2111, which are located on both sides of the median plane of the user's body when the user wears the upper garment 210. The sizes and shapes of the two first conductive areas 2111 can be the same or different.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 5, the median plane of the human body refers to a plane passing through the median line 510 of the human body and dividing the human body into equal or approximately equal two parts. The median line 510 of the human body can be determined according to the line connecting the tip of the nose to the middle of the two nipples, the line connecting the middle of the two nipples to the middle of the navel, or the line connecting the middle of the navel to the middle of the pubic symphysis joint.

[0068] In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the median plane. In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can also be asymmetrically arranged relative to the median plane. When the two first conductive areas 2111 are asymmetrically arranged relative to the median plane, the distance difference between the two first conductive areas 2111 and the median plane is less than a preset distance threshold. For example, the distance threshold can range from 100 to 300 mm. The preset distance threshold can be selected within the foregoing range according to the difference between users. For example, different preset distance thresholds can be determined according to the size (e.g., the number) of the upper garment 210. When the size of the upper garment 210 is larger, the determined preset distance threshold can be larger; when the size of the upper garment 210 is smaller, the determined preset distance threshold can be smaller, so as to ensure the monitoring effect of users of different body types. By limiting the arrangement position of the two first conductive areas 2111 relative to the median plane, the motion artifact of the two conductive electrodes 220 can have better consistency, which is beneficial to the elimination of the motion artifact. For example, the motion artifact in the electrocardio signal can be eliminated by a differential amplification circuit, so as to improve the quality of the electrocardio signal.

[0069] In some embodiments, the two first conductive areas 2111 can be arranged at the chest of the upper garment 210. The median plane of the human body can divide the chest area of the human body into a left chest area and a right chest area. As shown in FIG. 3A, one first conductive area 2111 can be arranged at the left chest area of the upper garment 210, and the other first conductive area 2111 can be arranged at the right chest area of the upper garment 210.

[0070] In some embodiments, two first conductive regions 2111 may be evenly located at the waist of the garment 210. The midsagittal plane of the human body can divide the waist region into a left waist region and a right waist region. As shown in Figure 3B, one first conductive region 2111 may be located at the left waist region of the garment 210, and the other first conductive region 2111 may be located at the right waist region of the garment 210. As an example only, when the user wears the garment 210, the two first conductive regions 2111 are respectively in contact with the iliac crests on both sides of the center line of the torso and the regions close to the iliac crests.

[0071] The second region 212 is configured to connect to an external electrode.

[0072] In some embodiments, the second region 212 includes two second conductive regions 2121, which may be the same or different in size and shape. One of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to one of the two first conductive regions 2111, and the other of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to the other of the two first conductive regions 2111. Each second conductive region 2121 can receive electrical signals generated by the user's body through the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to it.

[0073] The position of the second conductive area 2121 must correspond to the position of the electrodes in the monitoring device after the user wears the device, so that the electrical signal generated by the user can be transmitted to the monitoring device through the second conductive area 2121. The shape and size of the second conductive area 2121 may be the same as or different from the shape of the electrodes in the monitoring device. For example, the shape of the second conductive area 2121 may be the same as the shape of the electrodes in the monitoring device, and the area of ​​the second conductive area 2121 may be larger than the area of ​​the electrodes in the monitoring device.

[0074] When the monitoring device is a heart rate belt, after the user wears the wearable device 200 and the heart rate belt, one of the two electrodes on the heart rate belt can be electrically connected to one of the two second conductive areas 2121, and the other electrode on the heart rate belt can be electrically connected to the other second conductive area 2121, thereby collecting the electrical signals generated by the user's body through the second conductive area 2121.

[0075] In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, the positions of the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region at least partially overlap along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. The axial direction of the user's body is the direction perpendicular to the ground when the person is standing, for example, the direction indicated by arrow X in Figure 5; the circumferential direction of the user's body is the direction surrounding the person when standing, for example, the direction indicated by arrow Y in Figure 5.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto can completely overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. When both first conductive regions 2111 are arranged on the chest of the upper garment 210 or on the waist of the upper garment 210, the sizes and positions of the two second conductive regions 2121 arranged on the outer surface of the upper garment 210 can respectively completely correspond to the two first conductive regions 2111.

[0077] In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto can partially overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, FIG. 4A is an outer surface of the upper garment 210, and for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto partially overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. It should be noted that in order to illustrate the positional relationship between the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111, the first conductive region 2111 is represented in dashed lines on the outer surface of the upper garment 210 shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, while the first conductive region 2111 is actually located on the inner surface of the upper garment 210.

[0078] Some embodiments of the present specification facilitate the electrical connection between the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121 corresponding thereto by arranging the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto to at least partially overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. At the same time, this arrangement can also reduce the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the upper garment 210. It can be understood that the region where the conductive electrode 220 is arranged and other regions of the upper garment 210 can have certain heterogeneity in terms of tactile sensation. By reducing the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the upper garment 210, the area with heterogeneity can also be reduced, improving the comfort of the user when wearing. In addition, this arrangement can also ensure that the wearable device 200 is compatible with various different monitoring devices on the market, avoiding the need for the user to purchase a separate monitoring device compatible with the wearable device 200, thereby reducing the user's use cost.

[0079] In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 do not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, FIG. 4B is an outer surface of the upper garment 210, both second conductive regions 2121 are arranged on the waist of the outer surface, and both first conductive regions 2111 are arranged on the chest of the outer surface, and the second conductive regions 2121 and the first conductive regions 2111 do not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body.

[0080] Some embodiments of the present specification can make the position of the second region 212 more flexible by arranging the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 to not overlap in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body, while achieving the collection of the electrical signals generated by the user's body. As described above, the position of the second conductive region 2121 corresponds to the position of the electrode in the monitoring device. Therefore, the position of the second conductive region 2121 can be arranged to meet different needs. For example, the second region 212 can be arranged on the back of the user's waist to reduce the foreign body sensation when the user uses the monitoring device and improve comfort. For another example, the second region 212 can be arranged on the back of the user to avoid contact or collision with the monitoring device when the user moves, which affects the accuracy of the collected electrical signals.

[0081] In some embodiments, a friction-enhancing region containing a concave-convex structure is arranged between the two second conductive regions 2121. For example, the weave pattern of the cloth between the two second conductive regions 2121 of the upper garment 210 is a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure can increase the contact area of the corresponding region with the monitoring device in all directions. No matter which direction the force comes from, the corrugated structure can provide good grip, thereby increasing the friction between the upper garment 210 and the monitoring device, reducing the relative sliding of the two, and improving the stability of the monitoring device when collecting electrical signals. In some alternative embodiments, the concave-convex structure can be an array of convex points made of anti-slip material or other patterns or designs.

[0082] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 can be arranged in various manners to achieve the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. For example, the conductive electrode 220 can include one or more conductive wires based on which the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212 is achieved. For another example, the conductive electrode 220 can also include conductive patches arranged to at least partially adhere between the conductive patches of the first region 211 and the conductive patches of the second region 212, thereby achieving the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. More details about the arrangement of the conductive electrode 220 can be found in the relevant description below.

[0083] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 can be arranged in the same or different manners in the two groups of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121. For example, the two groups of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 are both achieved by conductive wires. For another example, one group of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 is achieved by conductive wires, and the other group of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 is achieved by conductive patches.

[0084] Some embodiments of the present specification can receive the electrical signals generated by the user's body through the upper garment 210, and transmit the electrical signals from the inner surface of the upper garment 210 to the outer surface through the conductive electrode 220, so that the electrical signals can be collected by the electrodes of the monitoring device. This arrangement can expand the wearing scenarios of the monitoring device. For example, based on wearing the wearable device 200, the monitoring device can be worn or removed in any scenario. Meanwhile, wearing the monitoring device on the outer surface of the upper garment 210 can avoid the generation of static electricity due to the constant friction between the monitoring device and the clothes during movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the collected electrical signals. In addition, the direct contact between the monitoring device and the skin can also be avoided, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0085] Some embodiments of the present specification will be described below in terms of the implementation of the conductive electrode arranged by the conductive wire.

[0086] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 includes one or more conductive wires 221, a first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221 is located at the outer surface, and a second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 extends to the inner surface and is electrically connected with the first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121 corresponding to the first conductive region 2111. Optionally, the first conductive region 2111 can be formed by the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221, and the second conductive region 2121 can be formed by the first portion 221-1 of the conductive wire 221. Alternatively, the first conductive region 2111 and / or the second conductive region 2121 can be formed by other conductive materials other than the conductive wire 221, and the first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 are electrically connected with the first conductive region 2111 and / or the second conductive region 2121, respectively, to realize the conduction between the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121.

[0087] In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 can be provided with elasticity, thereby ensuring the comfort and integrity of the shirt 210.

[0088] The conductive wire 221 can be provided with elasticity in various ways. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made of at least conductive fibers and elastic fibers (e.g., polyurethane, polyether ester type spandex, rubber thread, etc.). The conductive wire can only include conductive fibers (e.g., metal fibers, conductive polymer fibers, etc.) and elastic fibers. The conductive wire can also include insulating wires (e.g., cotton threads) to ensure the comfort of the shirt 210. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made by coating the conductive fibers with an elastic film. For example, before being coated with the elastic film, the conductive fibers can be pre-stretched (e.g., placed in a curved structure). Coating the conductive fibers with the elastic film on this basis can make the final conductive wire extensible. The aforementioned elastic film can include but is not limited to polyurethane film, polyester-spandex film, and rubber film, etc.

[0089] The first region 211 and the second region 212 at least include regions formed by weaving insulating wires 213 and / or elastic wires.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to make the first region 211 and the second region 212 conductive, a conductive wire 221 can be further interlaced on the region formed by interlacing the insulating wire 213 and / or the elastic wire, and the conductive wire 221 is interlaced on the inner surface and the outer surface, thereby forming the first part 221-1 and the second part 221-2 of the electrical connection. As shown in FIG. 6, the first part 221-1 of the conductive wire 221 includes the part of the conductive wire 221 on the outer surface, and the second part 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 includes the part of the conductive wire 221 on the inner surface, and the first part 221-1 and the second part 221-2 are conductive through the conductive wire 221 interlaced inside the interlaced region, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212.

[0091] To realize the structure of the wearable device 200 as described in the above embodiments, the interlacing process of the wearable device 200 can be: first, interlacing the insulating wire 213 to form the upper garment 210, and then interlacing each of one or more conductive wires 221 on the inner surface and the outer surface of the upper garment 210, thereby obtaining the wearable device 200.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second part 221-2 of the conductive wire 221 is interlaced to form a corrugated structure in the first region 211. The corrugated structure can increase the contact area of the first region 211 with the skin in various directions, and no matter which direction the force comes from, the corrugated structure can provide better grip, thereby increasing the friction between the first region 211 and the skin, reducing the relative sliding between the two, and improving the stability of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device.

[0093] Some embodiments of the present specification can interlace the conductive electrode 220 as the conductive wire 221 interlaced on the inner surface and the outer surface, and can rework various different clothes to electrically connect the inner surface to the outer surface. The wearable device 200 produced in this way has low cost, simple process, and high adaptability.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 can be formed by mixed weaving of the insulating threads 213 and the conductive threads 221. The aforementioned mixed weaving can include mixed weaving and weaving mixing. Mixed weaving can refer to mixing a base material (e.g., an insulating thread) and a special material (e.g., a conductive thread) to form an integrated thread. For example, FIG. 7 shows a shirt 210 woven by 4 conductive threads 221 and 12 insulating threads 213. In the non-designated regions (e.g., the non-first region 211 and the non-second region 212), the shirt 210 is woven by common threads (e.g., threads including only insulating threads). In the designated regions (e.g., the first region 211 and the second region 212), the aforementioned integrated threads are used for weaving to obtain the corresponding properties (e.g., conductivity) of the corresponding regions. After weaving, the shirt 210 is obtained. By mixing the threads in advance, the subsequent weaving steps can be simplified, the production difficulty can be reduced, and the special material can be more easily controlled to ensure production quality. Weaving mixing can refer to weaving the shirt 210 by common threads. When weaving the designated regions, the special material is added to the common threads for mixed weaving, or the common threads are replaced by the special material. After weaving, the shirt 210 is obtained. When weaving the designated regions, the number of common threads can be correspondingly reduced to be consistent with the number of threads in other regions of the shirt 210 to ensure the integrity of the shirt 210. For example, when the shirt 210 is woven by 4 common threads, two conductive threads 221 are added when weaving the first region 211. At this time, the number of common threads can be reduced to 2 to ensure that the total number of threads when weaving the first region 211 is 4, thereby being consistent with other regions of the shirt 210. By weaving mixing, the flexibility during production can be improved, the proportion of the special material can be adjusted at any time according to different needs, the threads do not need to be pretreated, the waste resource consumption caused by pretreatment can be reduced, and the weaving result can be obtained more quickly.

[0095] To realize the structure of the wearable device 200 as described in the above embodiments, the hybrid weaving process of the wearable device 200 can be as follows: when the loom generates the area of the first area 211 and the second area 212 in the upper garment 210, the weaving thread made of the insulating thread 213 is selected for weaving; when the loom generates the area of the first area 211 and the second area 212, the weaving thread mixed by the conductive thread 221 and the insulating thread 213 is selected for weaving, and the wearable device 200 can be obtained after the whole upper garment 210 is woven. The hybrid weaving process of the wearable device 200 can also be as follows: when the loom generates the area of the first area 211 and the second area 212 in the upper garment 210, the weaving thread made of the insulating thread 213 is selected for weaving; when the loom generates the area of the first area 211 and the second area 212, the weaving thread made of the conductive thread 211 is added on the basis of the weaving thread made of the insulating thread 213 for weaving, and the number of the weaving thread made of the insulating thread 213 is correspondingly reduced, or the weaving thread made of the insulating thread 213 is directly replaced by the weaving thread made of the conductive thread 211 for weaving, and the wearable device 200 can be obtained after the whole upper garment 210 is woven.

[0096] Some embodiments of the present specification can improve the integrity of the wearable device 200 and improve the wearing comfort by weaving the first area 211 and the second area 212 by the weaving thread mixed by the conductive thread 221 and the insulating thread 213.

[0097] Some embodiments of the present specification can guarantee the integrity of the wearable device 200 and improve the wearing comfort by realizing the electrical connection between the first area 211 and the second area 212 by the conductive thread 221.

[0098] Some embodiments to be described below of the present specification will describe the implementation of the conductive electrode by the conductive patch.

[0099] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 includes at least one group of conductive patches 222, for each group of conductive patches 222, one of the group of conductive patches 222 is arranged on the inner surface, and the other of the group of conductive patches 222 is arranged on the outer surface, and the electrical connection is realized by at least partial adhesion between the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface. For example, for each group of conductive patches 222, the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface in the group of conductive patches 222 can be partially adhered to realize the electrical connection. For another example, for each group of conductive patches 222, the conductive patch 222 arranged on the inner surface and the conductive patch 222 arranged on the outer surface in the group of conductive patches 222 can be completely adhered to realize the electrical connection.

[0100] As shown in FIG. 8, a through hole 214 can be provided between the first region 211 and the second region 212 of the shirt 210, one conductive patch 222 can be attached to the inner surface, and another conductive patch 222 can be attached to the outer surface, the two conductive patches are attached at the position of the through hole 214 to achieve electrical connection, and the size of the through hole 214 affects the degree of attachment between the conductive patches 222.

[0101] The conductive patch 222 can be of any shape, for example, the conductive patch 222 can be circular, rectangular, triangular or other shapes. The conductive patch 222 can be provided on the inner surface and the outer surface by various means, for example, by gluing or sewing.

[0102] In some embodiments, the conductive patch 222 includes a conductive film or a metal electrode. The two conductive patches 222 in each group of conductive patches 222 can be attached by a conductive medium (for example, conductive glue, conductive paste, conductive tape), so as to achieve electrical connection between the conductive patches 222.

[0103] In some embodiments, each conductive patch 222 includes a plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221, and a wire 2222 electrically connecting the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221.

[0104] It can be understood that, since the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes are electrically connected by the wire 2222, when any one of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 on a certain conductive patch 222 receives an electrical signal, the electrical signal can be transmitted to other sub-conductive electrodes 2221 through the wire 2222, and when an external electrode is electrically connected to any one or more of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221, the electrical signal generated by the user's body can be received.

[0105] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 can be arranged in an array. As shown in FIG. 9, the conductive patch 222 can include four sub-conductive electrodes 2221 arranged in an array, and the four sub-conductive electrodes 2221 are electrically connected by the wire 2222.

[0106] In some embodiments, the wires 2222 connecting the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 can have an extension tension. For example, the wires 2222 can be elastic wires that can be elastically stretched and contracted along the axial direction of the wires 2222. The aforementioned wires 2222 can be hybrid wires of metal wires (e.g., silver wires or copper wires) and elastic wires (e.g., rubber wires). For another example, the wires 2222 connecting two sub-conductive electrodes 2221 have a certain bending, which can allow the wires 2222 to have a certain stretchability. Through the aforementioned arrangements, when the garment 210 is deformed, the wires 2222 can also be deformed, ensuring the integrity of the conductive patch 222 and the garment 210, improving the softness of the corresponding area of the conductive patch 222, and also increasing the friction between the conductive patch 222 and other parts (e.g., the monitoring device or the skin), preventing relative sliding.

[0107] Some embodiments of the present specification realize the electrical connection between the first area 211 and the second area 212 by the conductive patch 222, and the production cost of the arrangement method of the conductive electrode 220 is low, the process is simple, and the production is easy.

[0108] It is worth noting that water has conductivity. After the user wears the wearable device 200, the first area 211 or the second area 212 can be connected to other areas of the garment 210 through water (e.g., rainwater, sweat), which will cause the electrical signals collected by the monitoring device to have a large amount of noise, affecting the reliability of the detection, and even the situation that two first conductive areas (or second conductive areas) are connected and the electrocardiogram signal cannot be detected. Based on this, some embodiments of the present specification realize waterproofing of the first area 211 and the second area 212 to avoid water connecting the first area 211 or the second area 212 to other areas of the garment 210, ensuring the accuracy of the collected electrical signals.

[0109] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can be arranged around the first area 211 and the second area 212 to avoid water connecting the first area 211 or the second area 212 to other areas. In some embodiments, a waterproof layer can also be arranged on the first area 211 and the second area 212 to avoid water connecting the first area 211 or the second area 212 to other areas. In some embodiments, the first area 211 and the second area 212 can also be at least woven by insulating wires and waterproof fibers to avoid water connecting the first area 211 or the second area 212 to other areas. For more information about the aforementioned waterproofing arrangement embodiments, please refer to the relevant description below.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 can be treated by a waterproofing arrangement. In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 can be treated by multiple waterproofing arrangements to avoid water from connecting the first region 211 or the second region 212 with other regions to a greater extent. For example, the first region 211 and the second region 212 can be surrounded by a waterproof structure 215, and the first region 211 and the second region 212 can further be provided with a waterproof layer, so that the first region 211 and the second region 212 are provided with multiple waterproofing arrangements.

[0111] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in relation to various implementations of waterproofing arrangements.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 are respectively surrounded by a waterproof structure 215. The surrounding of the first region 211 refers to a region of the inner surface of the garment 210 surrounding the first region 211, and the surrounding of the first region 211 can isolate the first region 211 from other regions of the inner surface. The surrounding of the second region 212 refers to a region of the outer surface of the garment 210 surrounding the second region 212, and the surrounding of the second region 212 can isolate the second region 212 from other regions of the outer surface.

[0113] The waterproof structure 215 is a structure for preventing water from penetrating into the surrounding region of the first region 211 and the surrounding region of the second region 212.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first region 211 is connected to other regions of the garment 210 by the waterproof structure 215. The other regions can refer to regions of the garment 210 other than the first region 211 and the second region 212. As shown in FIG. 10, the first region 211 is surrounded by the waterproof structure 215, and the first region 211 is connected to other regions of the garment 210 by the waterproof structure 215. By this arrangement, the first region 211 can be prevented from being electrically connected to other regions of the garment 210 through water, and the noise of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device can be reduced, and the accuracy of the obtained electrical signal can be improved.

[0115] The waterproof structure 215 can be used in combination with any of the conductive electrode arrangements described above. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is implemented as a conductive wire 221, the waterproof structure 215 can "separate" the first region 211 from the other regions of the shirt 210, so that the conductive electrode 220 is not electrically connected to the other regions of the shirt 210. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is implemented as a conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 can also "separate" the first region 211 from the other regions of the shirt 210, so that the conductive patch 222 is not electrically connected to the other regions of the shirt 210.

[0116] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can be obtained by various methods.

[0117] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can be obtained by weaving waterproof fibers. The waterproof fibers can be made of polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, or the like. For example, when the shirt 210 is being produced, the surrounding area of the first region 211 can be woven with waterproof fibers to obtain the waterproof structure 215. The waterproof structure 215 obtained by weaving waterproof fibers can ensure the integrity of the shirt 210 and improve the comfort of the user when wearing the shirt 210. For another example, after the shirt 210 is initially woven, the surrounding area of the first region 211 can be woven with waterproof fibers to obtain the waterproof structure 215. For yet another example, when the shirt 210 is being produced, the surrounding area of the first region 211 and the position of the first region 211 can be left unwoven, and the first region 211 can be produced separately. Then, the surrounding area of the first region 211 can be woven with waterproof fibers, and finally the first region 211 and the surrounding area can be sewn to the shirt 210.

[0118] In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 can also be obtained by permeating waterproof agents around the first region 211. The waterproof agents can include, but are not limited to, fluorine-based waterproof agents, silicon-based waterproof agents, or the like. After the shirt 210 is produced, the waterproof structure 215 can be obtained by permeating waterproof agents around the first region 211.

[0119] The waterproof structure 215 obtained by permeating waterproof agents can simplify the production process of the shirt 210, and the waterproof structure 215 of the shirt 210 can be supplemented at any time as needed to strengthen the waterproof effect. For example, when the waterproof effect of the original waterproof structure 215 of a shirt 210 is weakened due to wear or other reasons, the original waterproof structure 215 can be supplemented with waterproof agents to strengthen the waterproof effect.

[0120] The waterproof structure 215 provided by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent in the above embodiments of the present specification can be applied to various conductive electrode schemes described in the above embodiments of the present specification. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is provided by the conductive wire 221, the waterproof structure 215 provided by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent will not affect the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is provided by the conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 provided by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent will also not affect the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212.

[0121] In some embodiments, similarly, the second region 212 can also be connected to other regions of the shirt 210 through the waterproof structure 215.

[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, the shirt 210 can further include a first waterproof layer 216 and a second waterproof layer 217. The first region 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second region 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin. The waterproof layer (e.g., the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217) can be obtained by various methods. For example, the waterproof layer can be obtained by weaving waterproof fibers or by permeating waterproof agents into the corresponding regions. For more information about obtaining the waterproof layer by waterproof fibers or waterproof agents, please refer to the relevant description of obtaining the waterproof structure 215 by waterproof fibers or waterproof agents in the present specification. For another example, the waterproof layer can be obtained by reserving the corresponding regions of the shirt 210 during production and not weaving, and then processing a polyethylene film or other waterproof film to the corresponding regions of the shirt 210 by various methods (e.g., sewing, gluing, etc.) after the weaving of other parts of the shirt 210 is completed.

[0123] Since the first region 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second region 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217 will not be wetted by water. Therefore, even if there is water in the surrounding regions of the first region 211 and the second region 212, it will not be transmitted to the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217. Through this arrangement, the electrical connection between the corresponding regions (e.g., the first region 211 and the second region 212) and other regions through water can be avoided in the thickness direction of the shirt 210.

[0124] It can be understood that, since the first area 211 is arranged on the first waterproof layer 216, the first waterproof layer 216 and the first area 211 can have the same size and shape, or the size of the first waterproof layer 216 is greater than that of the first area 211; similarly, the second waterproof layer 217 and the second area 212 can have the same size and shape, or the size of the second waterproof layer 217 is greater than that of the second area 212.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first area 211 is arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second area 212 is arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 away from the skin, so that the conductive electrode 220 can be electrically connected to the first area 211 and the second area 212, and the area where the conductive electrode 220 is arranged can be prevented from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water. For example, the conductive wire 211 shown in FIG. 11 can be arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin and the side of the second waterproof layer 217 away from the skin, so that the conductive wire 211 can be electrically connected to the first area 211 and the second area 212, and the area where the conductive wire 211 is arranged can be prevented from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water. For another example, one conductive patch 222 can be arranged on the side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and another conductive patch 222 can be arranged on the side of the second waterproof layer 217 away from the skin, and the two conductive patches 222 can be at least partially attached to each other, so that the first area 211 and the second area 212 can be electrically connected, and the area where the conductive patch 222 is arranged can be prevented from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water.

[0126] Some embodiments of the present specification can prevent the first area 211 and the second area 212 from being electrically connected to other areas of the upper garment 210 through water by arranging the first waterproof layer 216 and the second waterproof layer 217, reduce the noise of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device, and improve the accuracy of the obtained electrical signal.

[0127] The above has described the basic concept, and it is obvious that the above detailed disclosure is only used as an example and does not limit the present specification. Although it is not explicitly stated herein, those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements and corrections to the present specification.
