WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING VARIABLE GROUND - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094903 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING VARIABLE GROUND
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wearable electronic device with a front lens and two legs connected through hinges. It includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with a ground portion and an antenna structure connected to the ground portion. The device also has a switch circuit and a controller to control it.
- The wearable electronic device has a front with a lens and two legs connected through hinges.
- The device includes a PCB with a ground portion that is electrically connected to metal portions on the legs.
- An antenna structure with a radiating element and a feeder is also connected to the ground portion of the PCB.
- A switch circuit is present to connect or disconnect the metal portions on the legs and change the impedance between them.
- The controller is responsible for controlling the switch circuit.
Potential Applications
- Wearable electronic devices such as smart glasses or headsets.
- Augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) devices.
- Fitness trackers or health monitoring devices.
Problems Solved
- Provides a compact and integrated design for wearable electronic devices.
- Ensures efficient and reliable wireless communication through the antenna structure.
- Allows for easy adjustment of impedance and connection between metal portions.

Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable electronic device includes a front with a lens connected thereto, and includes a first metal portion. A first leg is connected to one end of the front through a first hinge, and includes a second metal portion. A second leg is connected to the other end of the front through a second hinge. A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a ground portion electrically connected to the first metal portion and/or the second metal portion. An antenna structure includes a radiating element and a feeder electrically connected to the radiating element. The antenna structure is electrically connected to the ground portion. A first switch circuit is configured to electrically connect or disconnect the first metal portion and the second metal portion and is also configured to change an impedance for connecting the first metal portion and the second metal portion. A controller controls the first switch circuit.
