Wristband Mobile Terminal Segmentation for Portability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing size of mobile terminal screens compromises their portability, as they become less convenient to carry due to larger volumes.
Innovation Solution
A wristband mobile terminal design featuring a terminal body with an accommodating portion for a ring band, allowing the device to form a closed ring when connected, enabling flexible use and improved portability by accommodating the ring band when not needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display screen size is enlarged to meet user demand for display effects, then the display effect is improved, but the mobile terminal volume increases and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mobile terminal into two functional segments: a terminal body containing the display screen and processing units, and a separate ring band for wrist wear. This segmentation allows the display screen to be large while the wearable portion remains compact, resolving the contradiction between display size and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a traditional handheld form factor to a wrist-worn form factor by adding a ring band. This dimensional change allows the terminal to be worn on the wrist rather than held in the hand, effectively reducing the perceived volume and improving portability while maintaining a large display screen.
2Volume of moving object
If the mobile terminal is designed to be portable and convenient to carry, then the portability is improved, but the display screen size is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the terminal body from the ring band, the patent allows the display screen to be large in the terminal body while the ring band provides only the necessary minimal structure for wrist wear, thus maintaining portability without compromising display size.
Solution Approach 2:
The ring band serves multiple functions: it provides wrist support, enables the terminal to be worn as a bracelet, and can be detached when wrist wear is not needed. This multi-functionality allows the terminal to adapt between portable wrist-worn mode and traditional handheld mode.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the ring band is always attached to the terminal body, then the wristband functionality is available, but the device complexity increases and portability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable design separates the ring band from the terminal body, allowing users to attach or detach the ring band based on needs. This segmentation reduces device complexity by eliminating permanent structural requirements while maintaining wristband functionality when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The ring band transitions from a static attached state to a dynamic detachable state, allowing the device to adapt between wrist-worn and handheld modes. This dynamic configuration enables users to adjust the device structure based on usage scenarios without increasing permanent complexity.

AI summary
A wristband mobile terminal and a control method for a wristband mobile terminal are provided. The wristband mobile terminal includes: a terminal body, the terminal body including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with an accommodating portion; and a ring band, the ring band being capable of being accommodated in the accommodating portion and being capable of being detachably connected to the terminal bod, in which when the ring band is connected to the terminal body, the wristband mobile terminal forms a closed ring.
