TIMEPIECE MODULE AND ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18599987 titled 'TIMEPIECE MODULE AND ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE

The abstract of the patent application describes a timepiece module that includes a circuit board with a plate-like antenna and a metal member. The antenna extends away from the circuit board's surface, while the metal member is positioned outside specific regions on the board.

The antenna extends away from the circuit board's surface in a specific direction.
The metal member is entirely located outside defined regions on the circuit board.
The first region extends outward from the antenna's plate surface in a normal direction.
The second region coincides with the antenna in plan view from above the circuit board's surface.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various types of timepieces, such as watches and clocks. - It can also be applied in other electronic devices that require accurate timekeeping.

Problems Solved: - Provides a reliable and accurate timekeeping solution. - Ensures efficient communication between the antenna and the circuit board.

Benefits: - Improved performance and accuracy in timekeeping. - Enhanced durability and longevity of the timepiece module.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by watch manufacturers to enhance the functionality of their products. - It can also be integrated into smart devices for precise time synchronization.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the positioning of the metal member outside specific regions on the circuit board impact the performance of the timepiece module? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in mass-produced timepieces?

Original Abstract Submitted

A timepiece module includes a circuit board having a first surface, a plate-like antenna and a metal member. The antenna extends in a direction to be away from the first surface of the circuit board. The metal member is entirely disposed outside a first region and outside a second region. The first region extends from a plate surface of the antenna outward in a normal direction of the antenna. The second region coincides with the antenna in plan view viewed from above the first surface.
