Wearable smart device
A wearable smart device is configured to provide wireless and cellular data access through position- and orientation-adjustable touchscreens, which may be flexible or rigid and may be of a variety of different screen compositions. The device includes a wristband, a primary touchscreen, a secondary touchscreen, a swiveling mechanism, a first ratcheting mechanism, and a controller. The wristband enables a user to connect the present invention to the user's body, especially around the user's wrist. The primary touchscreen provides the user with the ability to interact with the device through touch. The secondary touchscreen also allows the user to further interact with the device. The swiveling mechanism enables the primary touchscreen to rotate upon the wristband. The first ratcheting mechanism enables adjustment of the secondary touchscreen relative to the primary touchscreen. The controller accepts electrical inputs and returns electrical output signals. A portable power supply is positioned offset from the controller.
