Smart watch band
View Patent ↗A replacement wrist band may include a display and at least one replaceable module formed on the wrist band itself.
1. A band, comprising:
a display;
at least one replaceable module; and
a protrusion connected to an end of the band, wherein the protrusion includes a skin side having an electrically conductive surface that contacts a user's skin when worn on a user, and a watch side that receives a detachable watch.
2. The band of claim 1 , further comprising an input mechanism configured to input information into the at least one replaceable module.
3. The band of claim 1 , wherein the at least one replaceable module has an increased cross sectional thickness relative to the band.
4. The band of claim 1 , wherein the display has a curved surface.
5. The band of claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one replaceable module a transmitter incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
6. The band of claim 1 , further comprising a rod attached to an end of the band, wherein the rod connects the end of the band to a watch.
7. The band of claim 6 , further comprising an accelerometer, wherein an orientation of the display changes based on input from the accelerometer.
8. The band of claim 1 , further comprising a segmented portion, wherein the at least one replaceable module is at least one link of a plurality of links of the segmented portion;
wherein the plurality of links includes:
a first link;
a second link adjacent to the first link;
a pin that rotatably secures the first link to the second link; and
a processor disposed in at least one of the first link and the second link.
9. The band of claim 1 , further comprising a battery incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
10. The band of claim 5 , wherein the transmitter communicates with a watch connected to the watch side.
11. The band of claim 5 , further comprising a processing unit;
wherein the transmitter communicates with a remote device in response to a command from the processing unit.
12. The band of claim 1 , further comprising memory incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
13. The band of claim 1 , further comprising an accelerometer incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
14. The band of claim 1 , further comprising an electrode incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
15. The band of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
16. The band of claim 1 , wherein the display is incorporated into the at least one replaceable module.
17. The band of claim 1 , further comprising a pin that includes an electrically conductive material that completes a circuit incorporating a first link and a second link.
18. A wrist band, comprising:
a display; and
at least one replaceable module;
a segmented portion wherein the at least one replaceable module is at least one link of a plurality of links of the segmented portion;
wherein the plurality of links includes:
a first link;
a second link adjacent to the first link; and
a pin that rotatably secures the first link to the second link, wherein the pin includes an electrically conductive material that completes a circuit incorporating the first link and the second link; and
a processor disposed in at least one of the first link and the second link.
19. The band of claim 18 , further including a protrusion connected an end of the band, the protrusion including a skin side that includes:
an electrically conductive surface that contacts a user's skin when worn on a user; and
a watch side that receives a detachable watch.
20. The band of claim 18 , wherein the electrically conductive material is surrounded by an electrically insulating material, an end of the pin exposing a portion of the electrically conductive material.
