WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075253 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: A consumer product that is a portable and, in some cases, a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device may have functionalities including:
- Keeping time
- Monitoring a user's physiological signals and providing health-related information based on those signals
- Communicating with other electronic devices or services
- Visually depicting data on a display
- Gathering data from one or more sensors that may be used to initiate, control, or modify operations of the device
- Determining a location of a touch on a surface of the device and/or an amount of force exerted on the device, and using either or both as input.
Potential Applications:
- Fitness tracking and monitoring
- Health monitoring and management
- Communication and connectivity with other devices or services
- Data visualization and display
- User interface control through touch and force input
Problems Solved:
- Lack of portable and wearable electronic devices with multiple functionalities
- Limited access to real-time health-related information
- Inefficient communication and connectivity between devices
- Difficulty in visualizing and interpreting data
- Limited user interface control options
Benefits:
- Convenient and portable electronic device
- Real-time monitoring and access to health-related information
- Enhanced communication and connectivity capabilities
- Improved data visualization and interpretation
- Enhanced user interface control options
