Dual-display smart watch with proximal and distal (analog and electronic) displays
View Patent ↗This invention is a dual-display smart watch with a proximal dorsal display and a distal dorsal display. In an example, the proximal and distal displays can both be electronic displays. In an example, one display can be an analog watch face with mechanically-moving watch hands and the other display can be an electronic display. The displays can show different types of information such as: the time; notifications or messages; steps, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose level, or other biometric information; temperature, weather, location, directions, or other environmental information; and pictures, icons, or other digital images.
1. A smart watch with dual displays comprising:
a proximal display which is worn on the dorsal half-circumference of a person's wrist or forearm and has a centroid which is a first distance from the person's elbow;
a distal display which is worn on the dorsal half-circumference of the person's wrist or forearm and has a centroid which is a second distance from the person's elbow, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and
a bifurcating band, wherein the dorsal part of the bifurcating band is the part of the bifurcating band which spans the dorsal half-circumference of the person's wrist or forearm, as seen from a top-down perspective; wherein the dorsal part further comprises a right-side segment whose right portion is a single band and whose left portion bifurcates and attaches to the right sides of the displays; wherein the right-side segment attaches to the proximal display between the 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock locations on the proximal display's circumference and attaches to the distal display between the 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock locations on the distal display's circumference; wherein the dorsal part further comprises a left-side segment whose left portion is a single band and whose right portion bifurcates and attaches to the left sides of the displays; and wherein the left-side segment attaches to the proximal display between the 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock locations on the proximal display's circumference and attaches to the distal display between the 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock locations on the distal display's circumference.
2. The smart watch in claim 1 wherein the proximal display and the distal display are selected from the group consisting of: electronic display, computer display, digital display, and electronic touch screen.
3. The smart watch in claim 1 wherein the proximal display and/or the distal display show information selected from the group consisting of: the time; notifications or messages; steps, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose level, or other biometric information; temperature, weather, location, directions, or other environmental information; and pictures, icons, or other digital images.
4. The smart watch in claim 3 wherein the proximal display and the distal display show different types of information selected from the group consisting of: the time; notifications or messages; steps, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose level, or other biometric information; temperature, weather, location, directions, or other environmental information; and pictures, icons, or other digital images.
5. A smart watch with dual displays comprising:
a proximal display which is worn on the dorsal half-circumference of a person's wrist or forearm and has a centroid which is a first distance from the person's elbow;
a distal display which is worn on the dorsal half-circumference of the person's wrist or forearm and has a centroid which is a second distance from the person's elbow, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and
a bifurcating band; wherein the dorsal part of the bifurcating band is the part of the bifurcating band which spans the dorsal half-circumference of the person's wrist or forearm, as seen from a top-down perspective; wherein the dorsal part further comprises a right-side segment whose right portion is a single band and whose left portion bifurcates and attaches to the right sides of the displays; wherein the right-side segment has a leftward-opening chevron or whale tail shape; wherein the dorsal part further comprises a left-side segment whose left portion is a single band and whose right portion bifurcates and attaches to the left sides of the displays; and wherein the left-side segment has a rightward-opening chevron or whale tail shape.
6. The smart watch in claim 5 wherein the proximal display and the distal display are selected from the group consisting of: electronic display, computer display, digital display, and electronic touch screen.
7. The smart watch in claim 5 wherein the proximal display and/or the distal show display information selected from the group consisting of: the time; notifications or messages; steps, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose level, or other biometric information; temperature, weather, location, directions, or other environmental information; and pictures, icons, or other digital images.
8. The smart watch in claim 7 wherein the proximal display and the distal display show different types of information selected from the group consisting of: the time; notifications or messages; steps, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose level, or other biometric information; temperature, weather, location, directions, or other environmental information; and pictures, icons, or other digital images.
