Abstract

A wristband mobile terminal and a control method for a wristband mobile terminal are provided. The wristband mobile terminal includes: a terminal body, the terminal body including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with an accommodating portion; and a ring band, the ring band being capable of being accommodated in the accommodating portion and being capable of being detachably connected to the terminal bod, in which when the ring band is connected to the terminal body, the wristband mobile terminal forms a closed ring.

Claims (36)

1. A wristband mobile terminal, comprising:

a terminal body, the terminal body comprising a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with an accommodating portion; and

a ring band, the ring band being capable of being accommodated in the accommodating portion and being capable of being detachably connected to the terminal body,

wherein when the ring band is connected to the terminal body, the wristband mobile terminal forms a closed ring;

wherein the terminal body has a first edge and a second edge disposed opposite each other and a third edge and a fourth edge disposed opposite each other, the third edge being connected with the first edge and the second edge, the fourth edge being connected with the first edge and the second edge; the accommodating portion comprises an accommodating cavity, and an opening communicated with the accommodating cavity is arranged adjacent to the third edge; the ring band has a first end and a second end, the first end is slidably provided in the accommodating cavity, the second end is capable of protruding to the outside of the accommodating cavity through the opening and being connected to the terminal body, so that the wristband mobile terminal forms the closed ring.

2. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second end is provided with a connecting element, a connecting cavity is formed in the second side and adjacent to the fourth edge, and the connecting element is snap-fitted in the connecting cavity so that the wristband mobile terminal forms the closed ring.

3. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting element and the ring band are formed integrally.

4. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting element and the ring band are formed separately, and the connecting element is connected to the second end of the ring band.

5. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting element comprises a first surface and a second surface perpendicular to the first surface, when the ring band is accommodated in the accommodating cavity, the second surface is parallel to an extension direction of the ring band and the first surface is perpendicular to the extension direction of the ring band.

6. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein a section of the connecting cavity is L-shaped.

7. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein sections of both of the connecting element and the connecting cavity are L-shaped, a groove is formed in the connecting cavity and the connecting element is snap-fitted in the groove.

8. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal body is flexible and is configured to be capable of being bent by an external force.

9. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodating cavity comprises a fifth edge and a sixth edge arranged opposite each other and a seventh edge and an eighth edge arranged opposite each other, the fifth edge is connected with the seventh edge and the eighth edge, and the sixth edge is connected with the seventh edge and the eighth edge; the opening is arranged adjacent to the seventh edge; a length of each of the fifth edge and the sixth is less than a length of each of the first edge and the second edge, a length of each of the seventh edge and the eighth edge is less than a length of each of the third edge and the fourth edge, and a length of the opening is less than the length of the seventh edge.

10. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the ring band is provided with a stop element and the stop element has a length greater than the length of the opening and less than the length of the seventh edge.

11. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first side is provided with a display screen, the display screen has a display screen area, the display screen area is capable of being divided into a content display area and a touch operation area.

12. A wristband mobile terminal, comprising:

a terminal body comprising a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with an accommodating portion;

a ring band capable of being accommodated in the accommodating portion and having a first end and a second end, the second end being capable of being drawn out of the accommodating portion and connected to the terminal body; and

a connecting member configured to connect the ring band to the terminal body;

wherein when the ring band is connected to the terminal body, the wristband mobile terminal forms a closed ring;

wherein the terminal body has a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge, the accommodating portion has an opening, the opening is formed adjacent to the first edge, the second end is capable of being drawn out of the accommodating portion through the opening and connected to the terminal body in a position adjacent to the second edge.

13. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 12 , wherein a connecting cavity is formed at the second side and adjacent to the second edge, and the second end is capable of being fitted into the connecting cavity.

14. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the connecting member and the ring band are formed integrally.

15. The wristband mobile terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the connecting member and the ring band are formed separately.

16. A control method for a wristband mobile terminal, wherein the wristband mobile terminal comprises a terminal body comprising a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with an accommodating portion, and the terminal body being capable of being bent;

a ring band capable of being accommodated in the accommodating portion and having a first end and a second end, the second end being capable of being drawn out of the accommodating portion and connected to the terminal body; and

a connecting member configured to connect the ring band to the terminal body;

wherein when the ring band is connected to the terminal body, the wristband mobile terminal forms a closed ring;

wherein the terminal body has a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge, the accommodating portion has an opening, the opening is formed adjacent to the first edge, the second end is capable of being drawn out of the accommodating portion through the opening and connected to the terminal body in a position adjacent to the second edge;

the method comprises operations as follows:

detecting whether the terminal body is bent;

determining positions of a content display area and a touch operation area of a display screen area of a display screen of the wristband mobile terminal when the terminal body is bent;
