Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a wearable device and a storage case thereof according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, a non-contact type induction fitting element 11 may be disposed inside the wearable device 1, and a non-contact type induction element 21 may be disposed inside the storage case 2. Through the configuration of the non-contact type induction matching element 11 and the non-contact type induction element 21, when the wearable device 1 is placed in the storage box 2, the non-contact type induction matching element 11 can realize the induction of the non-contact type induction element 21, so that the wearable device 1 can be switched from a normal working state to a dormant state; when the wearable device 1 is taken out of the storage box 2, the non-contact type induction fitting element 11 loses the induction of the non-contact type induction element 21, so that the wearable device 1 can be restored to the normal working state from the dormant state.

In the present embodiment, the contactless inductive mating element 11 and the contactless inductive element 21 may be any elements capable of implementing contactless induction; for example, in one embodiment, the non-contact inductive mating element 11 may be a hall sensor and the non-contact inductive element 21 may be a magnet. Then, by selecting the magnet with the proper magnetic field range, the magnetic field range of the magnet can just cover the inside of the storage box 2, so that the wearable device 1 can sense the magnetic field by the hall sensor when being put into the storage box 2, and cannot sense the magnetic field by the hall sensor when being taken out of the storage box 2.

Then, when the user needs to use the wearable device 1, the user takes the wearable device 1 out of the storage box 2, and the wearable device 1 can automatically switch to a normal working state, so that the parameter acquisition module 12 of a preset type in the wearable device 1 is triggered according to the first cycle to perform parameter acquisition; when the user does not need to use the wearable device 1, the user puts the wearable device 1 into the storage box 2, and the wearable device 1 automatically switches to the sleep state, so that the parameter acquisition module 12 of the preset type in the wearable device 1 is triggered according to the second period to perform parameter acquisition. For example, as shown in fig. 2, in the normal operation state, the parameter collection module 12 is triggered according to a relatively small T1 period, and in the sleep state, the parameter collection module 12 is triggered according to a relatively large T2 period; then:

on the one hand, by increasing the trigger period in the sleep state, the overall power consumption of the wearable device 1 can be reduced, contributing to prolonging its standby time.

On the other hand, by triggering the parameter collection module 12 in the sleep state, the wearable device 1 can realize extension of the application function in the sleep state. For example, when the parameter acquisition module 12 is a temperature detection module, that is, the wearable device 1 is a wearable thermometer, so that when the wearable thermometer is worn by a user (for example, adhered to a trunk surface), monitoring of the body temperature of the user can be achieved; and when the user puts into case 2 with this thermometer when dressing, through the trigger to temperature detection module under the dormancy state, can be used for the detection to ambient temperature.

Further, when the wearable device 1 is in an operating state for a long time, the logic system inside thereof is disabled from performing initialization or reset, resulting in insufficient system robustness thereof. In particular, when the wearable device 1 does not include a mechanical switch, the system cannot be reset directly unless the user directly removes the battery inside; for unloading the battery, on one hand, the operation is inconvenient for the user, and on the other hand, the internal components may be lost, damaged, and the like, which is not a normal solution.

Therefore, in the technical solution of the present disclosure, the non-contact inductive fitting element 11 in the wearable device 1 and the non-contact inductive fitting element 21 in the storage box 2 may be fitted, so that the wearable device 1 can perform a reset operation when it is determined to be taken out from the storage box 2, thereby achieving a system reset of the wearable device 1.

For example, fig. 3 is a schematic circuit structure diagram of a wearable device according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 3, the wearable device 1 may include: the device comprises a non-contact induction matching element 11, a double-path single-pole double-throw switch 13, an MCU14, a preset type parameter acquisition module 12 and the like. For example, the non-contact inductive mating element 11 is a hall sensor, and the parameter collecting module 12 may be a temperature detecting module, that is, the wearable device 1 may be a wearable thermometer, for example, a user may wear the wearable device on a body surface (e.g., stick to a trunk surface) so as to monitor the body temperature of the user.

The two-way single-pole double-throw switch 13 comprises a fixed end A, a fixed end B and a movable end M, wherein the fixed end A is connected to a power supply VCC, the fixed end B is grounded, and the movable end M can only be connected with the fixed end A or the fixed end B at the same time. Meanwhile, the two-way single-pole double-throw switch 13 further includes a matching circuit shown in fig. 3, and the matching circuit includes: a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1 connected in series between the power source VCC and the movable terminal M, and a second resistor R2 connected between the movable terminal M and an IO (input/output) terminal of the MCU14, and the MCU14 is further provided with a RESET terminal connected between the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1.

Then, when the wearable thermometer is located outside the storage box 2, i.e., the hall sensor cannot sense the magnet in the storage box 2, the hall sensor can output a high level; when the wearable thermometer is put into the storage box 2, i.e., the hall sensor can sense the magnet in the storage box 2, the hall sensor can output a low level. Correspondingly, through the connection and cooperation between the movable end M and the stationary end a or the stationary end B in the two-way single-pole double-throw switch 13, the level signals received by the IO end and the RESET end change accordingly:

on one hand, when the level output by the hall sensor changes, the level signal received by the IO terminal of the MCU14 changes, so that the MCU14 can control the temperature detection module to be in a normal operating state or a sleep state.

On the other hand, when the user takes the wearable thermometer out of the storage case 2, i.e., the hall sensor changes from being able to sense the magnet to being unable to sense the magnet, the RESET terminal may receive a momentary level change, such as a momentary low level, so that the MCU14 can perform a RESET operation accordingly. In other words, the wearable device 1 can automatically complete the reset operation each time it is taken out of the storage box 2, thereby ensuring the system robustness of the wearable device 1.

In the technical scheme of the present disclosure, the wearable device 1 may transmit the collected parameter information to a preset user device, for example, the preset user device may be a mobile phone of a user, a tablet, and other various electronic devices. Two possible ways of transmitting parameter information are illustrated below:

example one

As an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, a communication module 15 may be disposed in the wearable device 1, for example, the communication module 15 may be a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module, a Near Field Communication (NFC) module, or the like. When the communication module 15 establishes a connection with the preset user equipment 3, the communication module 15 may send the collected parameter information to the preset user equipment 3.

Therefore, as long as the mobile phone, tablet and other devices of the user support the corresponding functions of bluetooth, near field communication and the like, the wearable device 1 can be connected with the mobile phone, tablet and other devices, so that the parameter information such as the body temperature of the user and the like acquired by the wearable device 1 can be directly acquired.

Example two

As another exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the wearable device 1 may be provided therein with a communication module 15, and the storage box 2 may be provided therein with a gateway module 22; for example, the communication module 15 may be a bluetooth low energy module and the gateway module 22 may be a bluetooth gateway. Then, when the wearable device 1 is placed inside the storage box 2, the communication module 15 may be caused to transmit the acquired parameter information to the gateway module 22 by establishing a connection between the communication module 15 and the gateway module 22.

Further, the gateway module 22 may upload the parameter information to the server 4 through the internet, and further transmit the parameter information to the preset user equipment 3 through the server 4, so that the user may still remotely read the parameter information collected by the wearable device 1 in the above manner even if the user is not near the wearable device 1, that is, the preset user equipment 3 cannot directly establish a connection with the wearable device 1.

Similarly, the wearable device 1 may also transmit the self-status information of the wearable device 1 to the preset user device 3 through the communication module 15. For example, the self-state information may include at least one of: remaining power, firmware version, etc. The transmission mode of the self-state information is the same as the collected parameter information, and can be implemented by the embodiment shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, which is not described herein again.
