Abstract

A main body of a wearable device, includes: a front case; a bottom case joined with the front case to form a waterproof cavity; and electronic components disposed in the cavity, the electronic components including a printed circuit board (PCB) having a wireless data transceiving assembly, wherein the bottom case includes two charging contacts formed on an outer side of the bottom case and electrically coupled to the electronic components.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A main body of a wearable device, comprising:
a front case including an outer case surface that is partially or completely transparent;
a bottom case joined with the front case to form a waterproof cavity;
electronic components disposed in the cavity, the electronic components including:
a printed circuit board (PCB) having a wireless data transceiving assembly; and
an indicator light electrically coupled to the PCB, the indicator light being disposed proximate to an inner side of the outer case surface facing the cavity; and

a front case decorative piece attached to an outer side of the outer case surface, the front case decorative piece including a light penetration area corresponding to the indicator light,
wherein the bottom case includes two charging contacts formed on an outer side of the bottom case and electrically coupled to the electronic components.

2. The main body according to claim 1 , wherein:
the front case decorative piece includes a metal decorative piece,
the light penetration area includes a plurality of micro-apertures that extend through the metal decorative piece, and
the front case decorative piece further includes light penetration fillers filled in the micro-apertures.

3. The main body according to claim 1 , further comprising:
laser engraved heat-melting adhesive patterns gluing the front case decorative piece to an outer surface of the front case.

4. The main body according to claim 1 , wherein the front case includes a through hole for testing waterproofness, the through hole being sealed with a waterproof sealing paste.

5. The main body according to claim 1 , wherein the outer case surface projects beyond a jointing edge of the bottom case.

6. The main body according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic components further include a vibration motor electrically coupled to the PCB.

7. A wearable device, comprising:
a main body according to claim 1 ; and
a flexible wrist band including:
a wrist band main body including:
a center portion having an accommodating groove configured to receive the main body;
a first wrist band part extending from one end of the center portion, the first wrist band part including:
a fixed hole; and
an annular structure provided at a terminal end of the first wrist band part;

a second wrist band part extending from another end of the center portion, the second wrist band part including a buckle hole and being configured to pass through the annular structure; and

a wrist band buckle configured to be inserted into the buckle hole and into the fixed hole, to secure the first wrist band part to the second wrist band part when a terminal end of the second wrist band part passes through the annular structure.

8. A wearable device, comprising:
a main body according to claim 1 ; and
a charging cable for charging the main body, the charging cable including:
a main body accommodating end including:
a semi-cavity configured to receive the main body; and
two charging terminals formed on an inner surface of the semi-cavity and configured to electrically contact two mating contacts of the main body when the main body is inserted into the semi-cavity; and

a charging end electrically coupled to the two charging terminals, the charging end including one of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, a Mini USB interface, a Micro USB interface, a 30-pin interface, or a power adapter.
