Abstract

A smart watch includes: a watch dial, a watch band, a monitoring apparatus, and a mechanical transmission apparatus; herein, sensors are set on both front and back surfaces of the watch dial; the watch band is made of hard material and has a multi-section structure; and beginning from a first section of watch band fixedly connected to the watch dial, each section of watch band is a hollow cavity structure that accommodates a next section of watch band; the monitoring apparatus is deployed within the watch dial; the mechanical transmission apparatus is set between the watch dial and the watch band, and is arranged to control extension or retraction of other sections of watch bands for automatically wearing or removal of the watch band. A smart watch automatic wearing method is further provided.

First claim

What we claim is:

1. A smart watch, comprising:
a watch dial, a watch band, a monitoring apparatus and a mechanical transmission apparatus;
wherein, a front surface and a rear surface of the watch dial are respectively set with sensors, and the sensors comprise: temperature sensors and optical sensors;
the watch band is made of a hard material and has a multi-section structure; and beginning from a first section of the watch band fixedly connected to the watch dial, each section of the watch band is a hollow cavity structure that accommodates a next section of the watch band, to enable all other sections of the watch band except the first section of the watch band to retract into previous sections of the watch band;
the monitoring apparatus is set in the watch dial, and arranged to monitor temperature and light intensity of the sensors on the front surface and/or the rear surface of the watch dial and judge whether the temperature and light intensity reach preset thresholds; and the mechanical transmission apparatus is set between the watch dial and the watch band, and is arranged to, when both the temperature and the light intensity reach the preset thresholds, control other sections of the watch band except the first section of the watch band to extend or retract, to automatically remove and wear the watch band.

2. The smart watch according to claim 1 wherein
the monitoring apparatus is further arranged to monitor whether a mutual approaching distance between last sections of the watch band at both ends of the watch band reaches a preset distance; and the smart watch further comprises
an electromagnet apparatus, arranged to be powered on under a condition that the mutual approaching distance reaches the preset distance, and quickly merge the last sections of both ends of the watch band through a magnetic force after being powered on, to make the watch band to be closed up.

3. The smart watch according to claim 2 , wherein:
the monitoring apparatus is further configured to, after the electromagnet apparatus is powered on, monitor temperature and light intensity of the sensors on the front surface of the watch dial and judge whether the temperature and light intensity reach preset thresholds; and
the electromagnet apparatus is further arranged to be powered down under a condition that both the temperature and the light intensity reach the preset thresholds, to remove the magnetic force and make the last sections of both ends of the watch band to be separated.

4. The smart watch according to claim 3 , wherein, the mechanical transmission apparatus comprises:
a motor and a gear set in the watch dial, and a plurality of rollers and belts set in the watch band, wherein, the belts are wrapped out of the plurality of rollers; the motor is arranged to drive the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the belts, to realize retraction of a plurality of sections of the watch band.

5. An automatic wearing method for a smart watch, applied to the smart watch according to claim 3 , comprising:
monitoring temperature and light intensity of sensors on a front surface and/or a rear surface of a watch dial, judging whether both the temperature and the light intensity reach preset thresholds; wherein, the sensors comprise: temperature sensors and optical sensors; and
when both the temperature and the light intensity reach the preset thresholds, adjusting other sections of a watch band except a first section of the watch band to extend or retract through a mechanical transmission apparatus, to automatically remove the watch band.

6. The smart watch according to claim 3 , wherein, the electromagnet apparatus comprises:
a battery in the watch dial, a wire loop in the watch band and an electromagnet set in the last section of the watch band.

7. The smart watch according to claim 2 , wherein, the mechanical transmission apparatus comprises:
a motor and a gear set in the watch dial, and a plurality of rollers and belts set in the watch band, wherein, the belts are wrapped out of the plurality of rollers; the motor is arranged to drive the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the belts, to realize retraction of a plurality of sections of the watch band.

8. An automatic wearing method for a smart watch, applied to the smart watch according to claim 2 , comprising:
monitoring temperature and light intensity of sensors on a front surface and/or a rear surface of a watch dial, judging whether both the temperature and the light intensity reach preset thresholds; wherein, the sensors comprise: temperature sensors and optical sensors; and
when both the temperature and the light intensity reach the preset thresholds, adjusting other sections of a watch band except a first section of the watch band to extend or retract through a mechanical transmission apparatus, to automatically remove the watch band.

9. The smart watch according to claim 2 , wherein, the electromagnet apparatus comprises:
a battery in the watch dial, a wire loop in the watch band and an electromagnet set in the last section of the watch band.

10. The smart watch according to claim 1 , wherein, a number of the temperature sensors is 4, and a number of the optical sensors is 4.

11. The smart watch according to claim 10 , wherein, the mechanical transmission apparatus comprises:
a motor and a gear set in the watch dial, and a plurality of rollers and belts set in the watch band, wherein, the belts are wrapped out of the plurality of rollers; the motor is arranged to drive the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the belts, to realize retraction of a plurality of sections of the watch band.

12. An automatic wearing method for a smart watch, applied to the smart watch according to claim 10 , comprising:
monitoring temperature and light intensity of sensors on a front surface and/or a rear surface of a watch dial, judging whether both the temperature and the light intensity reach preset thresholds; wherein, the sensors comprise: temperature sensors and optical sensors; and
when both the temperature and the light intensity reach the preset thresholds, adjusting other sections of a watch band except a first section of the watch band to extend or retract through a mechanical transmission apparatus, to automatically remove the watch band.

13. The smart watch according to claim 1 , wherein, the mechanical transmission apparatus comprises:
a motor and a gear set in the watch dial, and a plurality of rollers and belts set in the watch band, wherein, the belts are wrapped out of the plurality of rollers; the motor is arranged to drive the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the belts, to realize retraction of a plurality of sections of the watch band.
