(wristband of the watch) as well as the energy and signal transmission. The aim is to create a compact device that can be worn conveniently on the wrist.

This requires division into at least two modules which are connected by flexible components. Each module (Fig.: 3 Part A ₁ B) consists of at least two sub-modules (Fig.: 4 Part C ₁ D ₁ E ₁ F). One (Fig.: 4 Part C) contains the energy storage unit (Fig.: 4 Part G) ₁ the antenna (Fig.: 4 Part H) ₁ the SIM card (Fig.: 4 Part I) (identification and storage medium), the alarm device (Fig.: 4 Part K) (vibration alarm) and is plugged into the second sub-module (Fig.: 4 Part D) ₁ a holder. The second module also consists of two sub-modules (Fig.: 4 Part E ₁ F) ₁ which are connected to one another with a folding or swivel joint (Fig.: 4 Part L). These sub-modules contain the display (Fig.:2 part M) (screen), keyboard (Fig..2 part N), microphone (Fig.:4 part O), loudspeaker (Fig.:1 part P), infrared interface (Fig.:1 part Q) and operating display (Fig.:1 part R). These main modules are connected by a flexible connection (Fig.:3 part S) (communication band), consisting of a plastic sheath (Fig.:4 part T) and several copper wires embedded in it (Fig.:4 part U) as well as metal bands (Fig.:4 part V) as strain relief. Flexible adaptation to different wrist diameters is made possible by the fact that a FA KUNClC

Combination device consisting of a wristwatch, a portable telephone and a control device (input and output via keyboard and screen) for a wearable computer.

State of the art

There are wristwatches as individual devices, portable telephones as individual devices, combinations of both types.

problem

Existing combination devices either have unwieldy dimensions or, despite being compact, do not offer all functions such as keyboard input. A traditional design with all functions in one housing would result in a bulky device and would not be accepted by potential users.

invention

Disassembly of the device into two main modules and their connection by a communication band, which provides both the mechanical fastening FA KUNClC

end of the band is rigidly attached and the other end is pressed onto a clamp closure (Fig.:4 Part W) and fixed with a pressure plate (Fig.:4 Part X).

Beneficial effect

In the future, more and more devices in the home (shopping, washing, etc.) and in public spaces will be networked with each other. Controlling them using voice input alone will not be possible for security reasons (transmission of key words during payment transactions). This keyboard and the associated screen, as well as a portable telephone and a wristwatch, are three devices that are intended to be worn on the body. Reducing and combining the three devices into one, without making it too bulky, makes the device cheaper (e.g. just one battery unit), improves its ecological balance and also makes it easier to use.

Commercial use: Sold as a multifunctional communications device.

Claims (1)

Combination device consisting of wristwatch, portable telephone and control device (input and output via keyboard, screen) for "wearable", ie body-worn, computer, characterized in that all functions of the individual devices are offered in one device and
this device is to be worn on the wrist and
the device is disassembled into two fixed main modules (Figure: 3 Part A, B) and connected by a flexible communication band (Figure: 3 Part S), which provides both mechanical attachment to the arm and energy and signal transmission, whereby adaptation to different wrist diameters is made possible by rigidly attaching one end of the band and pressing the other end onto a clamp closure (Figure: W Part W) and fixing it with a pressure plate (Figure: 4 Part W).
