Electronic Timepiece
An electronic watch is provided in which multiple features of the watch with each other in at least one other display thereof such that the features are integrated with the module, band, and/or clasp.
1 . An electronic timepiece comprising:
a main body that includes a main face having a primary display;
a processor within the main body and operable to control the primary display;
a band extending from the main body and configured to wrap around a wrist of a wearer;
a clasp coupled to the band and configured to secure the main body to the wrist of the wearer;
a secondary display proximate the clasp; and
a sensor proximate the clasp to detect a vital sign of the wearer, the sensor configured to communicate the vital sign to the processor.
2 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the secondary display is on the band.
3 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the secondary display is on the clasp.
4 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is in wireless communication with the processor.
5 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is hardwired to the processor through the band.
6 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a CMOS-based module that generates a capacitive load to facilitate detection of the vital sign.
7 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , wherein the vital sign detected comprises at least one of a pulse, oxygen level, blood pressure, and perspiration.
8 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one battery; and
at least one solar panel on the band, wherein the at least one solar panel is connected to the at least one battery.
9 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor and configured to connect to a wireless network, the wireless transceiver configured to transceive information with a computing device.
10 . The electronic timepiece of claim 1 , further comprising a secondary sensor proximate the primary display, wherein the sensor proximate the clasp is configured to detect a vital sign with a first detection mode and the secondary sensor is configured to detect a vital sign with a second detection mode.
11 . An electronic timepiece comprising:
a main body that includes a main face;
a processor within the main body and operable to control the electronic timepiece;
a band extending from the main body and configured to wrap around a wrist of a wearer;
a clasp coupled to the band and configured to secure the main body to the wrist of the wearer;
a first sensor located proximate the main body and configured to detect a vital sign of the wearer with a first detection mode; and
a second sensor located proximate the clasp and configured to detect a vital sign of the wearer with a second detection mode.
12 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein the first detection mode is distinct from the second detection mode.
13 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein the first detection mode and the second detection mode are identical.
14 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein the first detection mode and the second detection mode comprise input values to the processor for calculation of a vital sign output.
15 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor are in wireless communication with the processor.
16 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor is hardwired to the processor through the band.
17 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , wherein the vital sign detected comprises at least one of a pulse, oxygen level, blood pressure, and perspiration.
18 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , further comprising:
at least one battery; and
at least one solar panel on the band, wherein the at least one solar panel is connected to the at least one battery.
19 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , further comprising a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor and configured to connect to a wireless network, the wireless transceiver configured to transceive information with a computing device.
20 . The electronic timepiece of claim 11 , further comprising a secondary display proximate the clasp.
