WEARABLE DEVICE INCLUDING RESIZING STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345624 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE INCLUDING RESIZING STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation: The wearable device described in the patent application includes a frame with a resizing structure that can adjust in response to pressure from the user's body, making it more comfortable to wear.
- The wearable device has a frame with a first surface facing the user's body and a second surface opposite to it.
- A resizing structure on the first surface can move in response to pressure from the user's body, providing a customized fit.
- The resizing structure includes an elastic member that can deform to match the shape of the user's body.
- A supporting member guides the deformation of the elastic member, extending from the first surface to cover part of the elastic member.
Potential Applications: 1. Sports equipment such as protective gear or fitness trackers could benefit from this technology. 2. Medical devices like prosthetics or monitoring devices could be more comfortable and secure with this resizing structure.
Problems Solved: 1. Uncomfortable wearables that do not fit properly can be addressed with this resizing structure. 2. Users with varying body shapes can benefit from a more customized and adjustable fit.
Benefits: 1. Improved comfort and fit for users wearing the device. 2. Enhanced user experience with wearables that can adjust to individual body shapes.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in the sports equipment industry for better-fitting gear, as well as in the medical field for more comfortable and secure wearable medical devices.
Questions about Wearable Device Resizing Structure: 1. How does the resizing structure in the wearable device respond to pressure from the user's body? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond sports equipment and medical devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
according to an embodiment, a wearable device includes a frame including a first surface facing a part of the body of a user when the wearable device is worn on the user, and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a resizing structure on the first surface at least partially movable relative to the frame in response to pressure from the part of the body of the user. the resizing structure includes an elastic member which is deformable according to a shape of the part of the body of the user. the resizing structure includes a supporting member guiding a deformation of the elastic member by supporting the elastic member and extending from the first surface to cover at least a portion of the elastic member.
