WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER PATH THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103289 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER PATH THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a wearable electronic device and a method for controlling a power path within the device. The device includes a first support frame with a first system, a second support frame with a second system, a switch module with at least one switch to change the power path configuration between the first and second systems, and at least one processor in the first and/or second system connected to the switch module. The processor can change the configuration of the switch module to connect the power path between the first and second systems to a power source (vbus) or a second power source (vbat) based on specified conditions.
- Wearable electronic device with dual power source capability
- Switch module to change power path configuration between systems
- Processor to control switch module based on specified conditions
- Power path can be connected to vbus or vbat
- Efficient power management for wearable devices
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wearable electronic devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and health monitoring devices.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient power management in wearable devices 2. Seamless switching between power sources based on device conditions
Benefits
1. Prolonged battery life for wearable devices 2. Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted power supply 3. Improved reliability and performance of wearable electronics
Potential Commercial Applications
