Smart watch with variable-configuration display
This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.
1. A wearable computing device for the wrist and/or arm comprising:
an inner band which configured to be worn around a person's wrist and/or arm;
a primary display on a dorsal side of the device;
a first secondary display on a first lateral side of the primary display;
a first movable arcuate segment which connects an edge of the first secondary display to the inner band;
a second secondary display on a second lateral side of the primary display; and
a second movable arcuate segment which connects an edge of the second secondary display to the inner band;
wherein the device has a first configuration in which the first movable arcuate segment and second movable arcuate segment are folded in toward the inner band and in which the primary display, the first secondary display, and the second secondary display are not coplanar; and wherein the device has a second configuration in which the first movable arcuate segment and the second movable arcuate segment extend out from the inner band and in which the primary display, the first secondary display, and the second secondary display are coplanar.
