METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SIGNAL AND WEARABLE DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18095741 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SIGNAL AND WEARABLE DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The wearable device described in this patent application includes sensors and a processor that work together to perform various functions. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The device has a first sensor that can transmit a signal and receive a response signal from an object.
  • By analyzing the response signal, the device can determine the position of the object.
  • Based on the position of the object, the device can adjust the strength of the signal it transmits to correspond to the distance between the device and the object.
  • The device also has at least one second sensor that can detect movement of the device, such as changes in position or direction.
  • Based on the detected movement and the position of the object, the device can decide whether to adjust the strength of the signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fitness tracking: The wearable device could be used to track the distance between the user and an exercise equipment, providing accurate measurements for workouts.
  • Navigation: The device could help users navigate by adjusting the signal strength based on the distance to a specific location or object.
  • Virtual reality: By detecting the movement of the device and adjusting the signal strength accordingly, the device could enhance the user's virtual reality experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate distance measurement: By adjusting the signal strength based on the position of the object, the device can provide more precise distance measurements.
  • Real-time adjustments: The device can dynamically adjust the signal strength based on the movement of the device and the position of the object, ensuring optimal performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: The device can provide more accurate and reliable data by adjusting the signal strength based on the distance to the object.
  • Versatility: The device can be used in various applications, such as fitness tracking, navigation, and virtual reality, enhancing the functionality of wearable devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wearable device includes a first sensor, at least one second sensor, and at least one processor configured to control the first sensor to transmit a first signal with a first strength, identify a position of a first object based on a first response signal to the first signal, based on the identified position of the first object, control the first sensor to transmit a second signal with a second strength corresponding to a first distance between the wearable device and the first object, detect, by using the at least one second sensor, a movement of the wearable device, the movement of the wearable device including at least one of a position change of the wearable device and a direction change of the wearable device, and determine whether to adjust the second strength, based on the movement of the wearable device and the position of the first object.
