Smart Watch Bezel-Free Control and Wrist-Integrated Biosensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current smart watches have low comfort and poor flexibility due to the bezel design, and the process of monitoring heart rate is complicated as users need to move the watch body to the wrist position, making the detection process cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A smart watch design that integrates a biosensor on the watchband adjacent to the user's wrist, eliminating the need to turn the watch body, and features a metal ring with concave functional regions for fingerprint identification and energy storage, allowing for sliding and touch operations to control the device without a bezel, thus simplifying operations and enhancing comfort and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a bezel is provided on the smart watch, then operation control is enabled, but wearing comfort and flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the traditional bezel structure from the smart watch design. Instead of having a separate bezel component surrounding the display, the operational interface is integrated directly into the display screen itself, allowing users to perform swipe, click, and other gestures directly on the screen without needing to interact with physical bezel buttons or edges.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen serves multiple functions: it displays information and simultaneously acts as the operational interface for controlling the smart watch. By integrating touch-sensitive capabilities and gesture recognition into the display, the screen replaces both the display function and the control function that were previously separated between the display and bezel components.
2Measurement precision
If the watch body is turned to wrist position for heart rate monitoring, then accurate detection is achieved, but the monitoring process becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the heart rate sensing function from the watch body and integrates it into the watchband. The watchband contains sensors (such as optical sensors or bio-impedance sensors) that can detect heart rate parameters directly through the band material, allowing users to monitor their heart rate without needing to position or rotate the watch body to a specific orientation.
Solution Approach 2:
The watchband with integrated sensors automatically detects and monitors heart rate parameters continuously or periodically without requiring user intervention to position the watch body correctly. The sensing system adapts to the user's wrist position and automatically performs measurements, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust the watch orientation.
3Ease of operation
If the display screen is made large, then viewing and touching is facilitated, but device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible display screen that can be bent or curved to fit the contours of the user's wrist. This flexible display technology allows for a larger effective display area while maintaining a compact overall device form factor, as the display can wrap around the wrist without requiring a large rigid structure.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design allows for more accurate health monitoring without turning the watch body, reduces the device size, and improves wearing comfort and flexibility by performing operations directly on the watchband, simplifying the monitoring process and enhancing user experience.

Data Source
AI summary
A smart watch, an operation control method and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. The smart watch includes a watch body and a watchband, wherein the watch body includes a display screen and a system board, and the system board includes at least a microprocessor, a memory and a communication module. The watchband is configured to fix the watch body on a user's wrist. A biosensor is integrated on the surface of the wristband on a side adjacent to the user's wrist. As the watchband can contact directly with wrist side nerves, more accurate test results can be obtained, and operational complexity is simplified. By canceling the bezel design and performing a corresponding operation according to a touch operation detected in a functional region, a size of the smart watch is reduced and comfort and flexibility while wearing the smart watch is improved.
