Wearable Technology – IPC Codes

Wearable Technology encompasses a broad range of electronic devices designed to be worn on the body. These devices have various applications, from health monitoring to fitness tracking, and even as fashion accessories. Several International Patent Classification (IPC) codes cover the different aspects of wearable technology. Below are some of the key IPC codes and their specific areas of focus:

IPC Codes for Wearable Technology

• A61B5/00: Monitoring or testing devices for medical purposes.
  • A61B5/11: Specifically for measuring movement, for instance in fitness trackers or smartwatches.

• G06F3/01: Input arrangements for transferring data to be processed into a form capable of being handled by the computer; Output arrangements for transferring data from processing unit to output unit, particularly relevant for smart wearables with input-output interfaces.

• G01S19/25: Satellite radio beacon positioning systems; determining position, velocity or attitude using signals transmitted by such systems, significant for wearables with GPS functionalities.

• H04M1/725: Radiotelephone equipment not otherwise provided for, applicable to wearable devices that incorporate telecommunication functionalities.

• G02B27/01: Head-up displays, relevant for augmented reality glasses or visors.

• G06F1/16: Constructional details or arrangements of portable computers; Portable computers adapted to networking, for wearable computers.

• G06Q50/10: Health care services; Medical or veterinary science; Hygiene, applicable to wearables focused on health and medical applications.
