WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BIOMETRIC SENSOR FOR MEASURING BODY TEMPERATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968282 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BIOMETRIC SENSOR FOR MEASURING BODY TEMPERATURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wearable electronic device that includes a housing with a rear cover, a first biometric sensor aligned with a hole in the rear cover, a second biometric sensor facing the rear cover, and a blocking structure to prevent foreign substances from entering through the hole.
- The wearable electronic device has a housing with a rear cover that contacts the user's body.
- The rear cover has a hole through which light can pass.
- A first biometric sensor is placed in the housing and aligned with the hole in the rear cover.
- The first biometric sensor includes a lens in the hole and detects biometric information of the user based on light of a specific wavelength.
- A second biometric sensor is also placed in the housing and faces the rear cover.
- The second biometric sensor detects different biometric information from the first sensor.
- A blocking structure is included to prevent or reduce the entry of foreign substances through the hole.
Potential Applications
- Health and fitness tracking devices
- Smartwatches and other wearable technology
- Biometric authentication systems
Problems Solved
- Protects the biometric sensors from foreign substances that could affect their accuracy or functionality.
- Provides a comfortable and secure fit for the user by partially contacting their body.
- Enables the detection of different types of biometric information using multiple sensors.
Benefits
- Accurate and reliable biometric information detection.
- Improved user experience and comfort.
- Enhanced functionality and versatility of wearable electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example wearable electronic device includes a housing including a rear cover having a first hole and at least partially contacting a body of a user while the wearable electronic device is worn by the user, a first biometric sensor disposed in the housing and aligned with the first hole, wherein the first biometric sensor includes a first lens disposed in the first hole and is configured to detect first biometric information of the user based on light of a designated wavelength band, which passes through the first lens, a second biometric sensor disposed in the housing and disposed to face the rear cover, wherein the second biometric sensor is configured to detect second biometric information that is different from the first biometric information, and a blocking structure that prevents or reduces foreign substances from being introduced through the first hole.
