Description

Wearable equipment

Technical Field

The present description relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a wearable device.

Background

With the increasing attention of people on exercise health, the heart rate in the exercise process gradually becomes an indispensable detection index for people. The sportsmen can help them to master their health condition better by knowing their heart rate variation, and can also regulate exercise intensity according to heart rate, guide training program and gradually improve exercise expressive force.

Heart rate belts are commonly used by people to detect heart rate during exercise. When the heart rate belt is used, the heart rate belt is required to be clung to the skin, so that the two electrocardio electrodes on the heart rate belt can collect the potential difference of the electric potential at the position of the heart rate belt to acquire electrocardio signals. Because the electrocardio electrode needs to be clung to the skin, the heart rate belt needs to take off or lift other clothes when being worn, and the privacy requirement on wearing scenes is high. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the fit between the electrocardio electrode and the skin, the heart rate belt is usually made of a high-elasticity base material through warp knitting or weft knitting, but the wearing comfort of the heart rate belt obtained based on the high-elasticity base material is low. In addition, because the contact of heart rate area and clothing can produce static, static can produce the influence to the potential value that two electrocardio electrodes gathered to influence the electrocardio signal that obtains and cause the interference.

Therefore, hope to provide a wearable equipment, can expand the wearing scene of exercise heart rate monitoring facilities, improve user's wearing travelling comfort, avoid heart rate area and clothing to produce static simultaneously, ensure the accuracy of the electrocardiosignal that acquires.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a wearable device shown according to some embodiments of the present description.

The application scenario 100 of the wearable device (hereinafter simply referred to as application scenario 100) may be used to monitor an electrical signal generated by a user's body. The electrical signals generated by the user's body may include, among other things, the electrocardiographic signals of the user 110. The electrical signal generated by the user's body may also include other content, for example, an electromyographic signal of the user 110.

As shown in fig. 1, the application scenario 100 of the wearable device includes a user 110, a monitoring device 130, a wearable, a network 140, and a terminal device 150. The user may wear the wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 may be provided with a monitoring device 130 electrically connected with the wearable device 120, where the monitoring device 130 may receive and monitor an electrical signal generated by the body of the user through the wearable device 120, and transmit the electrical signal to the terminal device 150 through the network 140.

The user 110 refers to a subject who needs to monitor the electrical signals generated by his body.

The wearable device 120 is used to assist in the monitoring of electrical signals generated by the user's body. As shown in fig. 1, a user 110 may wear a wearable device 120, and the wearable device 120 may transmit an electrical signal (not shown) generated by the user's body to a monitoring device 130 to facilitate monitoring by the monitoring device 130. In some embodiments, wearable device 120 may include a coat having conductive electrodes that are electrically connected to the detection device when user 110 wears the coat, and that may transmit electrical signals received by the inner surface of the coat to monitoring device 130 for monitoring by monitoring device 130. For more on the above embodiments, reference may be made to the description related to the present specification, e.g. fig. 2 and the related description.

The monitoring device 130 refers to a device that monitors an electrical signal generated by the body of a user. It is understood that when monitoring different electrical signals, the corresponding monitoring devices 130 may be different. For example, the monitoring device 130 may be a heart rate belt when it is desired to monitor the electrocardiographic signals generated by the user's body. For another example, the monitoring device 130 may be an electromyographic signal monitoring strip when it is desired to monitor the electromyographic signal produced by the user's body. As shown in fig. 1, a monitoring device 130 may be provided on the wearable device 120. Multiple monitoring devices 130, which may be the same or different, may also be provided on the wearable device 120.

As shown in fig. 1, the monitoring device 130 may be disposed on an outer surface of the wearable device 120 so as to receive electrical signals generated by the user's body as delivered by the wearable device 120. The monitoring device 130 may be provided with a plurality of electrodes that may be connected to conductive electrodes of the wearable device 120 to collect electrical signals generated by the user's body. For example, when the monitoring device 130 is a heart rate belt, two electrodes may be disposed on the heart rate belt, where the two electrodes are connected to different areas of the wearable device 120 to obtain electric potentials at different positions of the body of the user, and the electrocardiographic signal of the user 110 may be obtained based on the electric potential differences at the two positions.

The network 140 may connect various components of the application scenario 100 (e.g., the terminal device 150, the monitoring device 130, etc.) and/or connect the application scenario 100 with external resource portions. The network 140 may enable communication between various components of the application scenario 100, as well as with other portions of the application scenario 100, facilitating the exchange of data and/or information. For example, terminal device 150 may obtain, via network 140, electrical signals generated by the body of the user as captured by monitoring device 130.

Network 140 may be any form of wired or wireless network, or any combination thereof. By way of example only, the network 140 may include a cable network, a wired network, a fiber optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, or the like, or any combination thereof. The network 140 may include at least one network access point through which at least one component of the application scenario 100 may connect to the network 140 to exchange data and/or information. For example, the acquired electrical signals generated by the user's body may be communicated over the network 140.

Terminal device 150 refers to the device and/or software used by a user associated with application scenario 100. The users associated with application scenario 100 include, but are not limited to, user 110, a physician (e.g., clinician, radiologist), nurse, and the like. For example, the terminal device 150 may be a device or software that controls the monitoring device 130, and the user may issue a control instruction to the monitoring device 130 through the terminal device 150, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect an electrical signal generated by the body of the user. For example, the terminal device 150 may send a control command input by the user to the monitoring device 130 through the network 140, so as to control the monitoring device 130 to collect an electrical signal generated by the body of the user 110. In some embodiments, terminal device 150 may obtain the body-generated electrical signal of user 110 acquired by monitoring device 130 via network 140. In some embodiments, terminal device 150 may be one or any combination of a mobile device, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, and the like, as well as other input and/or output enabled devices.

It should be noted that the above description about the application scenario 100 is only for illustration and description, and does not limit the application scope of the present specification. Various modifications and changes to the application scenario 100 may be made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present specification. However, such modifications and variations are still within the scope of the present description. For example, application scenario 100 may also include a storage device (not shown) that may store data, instructions, and/or any other information (e.g., that may store data obtained from monitoring device 130 and/or terminal device 150). As another example, various components in the application scenario 100 may be integrated together or provided separately (e.g., the aforementioned storage device may be provided in the terminal device 150).

Fig. 2 is an exemplary block diagram of a wearable device shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present description.

The wearable device 200 may assist a monitoring device (e.g., the monitoring device 130 shown in fig. 1) in monitoring electrical signals generated by a user's body.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the wearable device 200 includes a jacket 210 having conductive electrodes 220. Wherein the upper garment 210 includes an inner surface contacting the skin of the user and an outer surface facing away from the skin, and the conductive electrode 220 is disposed on the upper garment 210, the conductive electrode 220 being capable of transmitting an electrical signal generated by the user's body from the inner surface to the outer surface of the upper garment 210.

When in use, a user can wear the wearable device 200 first, then wear the monitoring device on the outer surface of the wearable device 200, and collect the electric signals transmitted to the outer surface through the monitoring device.

The upper garment 210 refers to various kinds of garments that can receive an electrical signal (e.g., an electrocardiographic signal) generated by a user's body. For example, the upper garment 210 may be a T-shirt, athletic undergarment, or the like. In some embodiments, the jacket 210 may be formed of a soft, high-elasticity fabric to ensure that the jacket 210 may be tightly fitted to the skin of the user, thereby ensuring the monitoring accuracy of the monitoring device. By way of example, the fabric of the jacket 210 may include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, etc.), animal fibers (e.g., wool, etc.), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, dacron, etc.), and the like. In some embodiments, the jacket 210 may be correspondingly deformed based on the user's action changes. For example, when the user breathes, the jacket 210 may be deformed according to the inhalation and the exhalation of the user, so that the conductive electrode 220 provided in the jacket 210 may be tightly adhered to the skin of the user at any time.

In some embodiments, the inner surface is provided with a first region 211 and the outer surface is provided with a second region 212. The upper garment 210 may receive an electric signal generated by the user's body through the first region 211, the first region 211 and the second region 212 are electrically connected through the conductive electrode 220, and the second region 212 may transmit the electric signal generated by the user's body to the external electrode. For more details regarding the first region 211, the second region 212, the conductive electrode 220, and the external electrode, reference may be made to the description below in connection with the present specification.

In some embodiments, the jacket 210 also includes a slip resistant region. The anti-slip area can increase friction force between the corresponding area and the skin, and can prevent relative slip with the skin.

The slip resistant region may be of any shape. For example, the shape of the anti-slip region may include, but is not limited to, one or more of square, circular, annular, triangular, corrugated, and the like. The non-slip region may be a complete region or may include a plurality of relatively independent sub-non-slip regions, which may be the same or different in shape.

The anti-slip region is provided on the inner surface of the coat 210 to prevent the first region 211 from sliding relative to the skin. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region may be located within the first region 211. When the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, the shape and area thereof may be the same as the first region 211 or may be different from the first region 211. In some embodiments, the anti-slip region may also be a surrounding region of the first region 211. For example, the anti-slip region may be disposed around an edge of the first region 211. The anti-slip areas may also be provided on the inner surface of the coat 210 by other means. For example, the anti-slip region may also be partially located within the first region 211 and partially disposed outside of the first region 211.

In some embodiments, the anti-slip regions may be provided in a variety of ways to achieve their anti-slip effect. In some embodiments, the non-slip region may be made of a non-slip thread weave. The aforementioned non-slip thread may be made of one or more non-slip materials. For example, the non-slip thread may be made of one or more of silica gel, polyvinyl chloride, and the like. In some embodiments, the non-slip region is coated with a non-slip material. For example, when the anti-slip region is located within the first region 211, a portion of the first region 211 may be coated with an anti-slip material to create the anti-slip region. The aforementioned non-slip material may include, but is not limited to, silica gel, rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and the like.

According to the embodiment of the specification, the anti-slip area is arranged, so that the friction force between the first area 211 and the skin can be increased, the first area 211 and the skin are prevented from sliding relatively, the stability of the first area 211 when receiving an electric signal generated by a user body is increased, and fluctuation of the electric signal generated by the collected user body due to the relative sliding is avoided.

The conductive electrode 220 is configured to electrically connect the first region 211 of the inner surface and the second region 212 of the outer surface. In some embodiments, the first region 211 of the inner surface may be the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin, i.e., the region where the conductive electrode 220 contacts the user's skin forms part of the inner surface of the jacket 210. The second region 212 of the outer surface may be the region of the conductive electrode 220 facing away from the skin, i.e. the region of the conductive electrode 220 facing away from the skin forms part of the outer surface of the jacket 210. The electrical signal generated by the user's body may be transferred via the first region 211 of the inner surface, through the conductive electrode 220, to the second region 212 of the outer surface, through the second region 212 to the external electrode. The external electrode refers to an electrode of the monitoring device. For example, when the monitoring device is a heart rate belt, the external electrode is an electrode of the heart rate belt.

The first region 211 is configured to receive an electrical signal generated by a user's body. It can be appreciated that, when the electric signal generated by the body of the user is collected, the first region 211 needs to be disposed in a corresponding region of the body, so as to ensure the accuracy of the electric signal received by the first region 211. For example, in acquiring an electrocardiographic signal, the first region 211 needs to be disposed in a region (e.g., chest or waist) in the body where the electrocardiographic signal can be acquired.

In some embodiments, the first region 211 includes two first conductive regions 2111, the two first conductive regions 2111 being located on either side of the mid-sagittal plane of the user's body when the user is wearing the upper garment 210. The two first conductive regions 2111 may be the same or different in size and shape.

As shown in fig. 5, the mid-sagittal plane of the human body refers to a plane that passes through the mid-midline 510 of the human body and divides the human body into two equal or approximately parts. Wherein the midline 510 of the human body may be determined according to a line from the tip of the nose to the middle of the two nipples, a line from the middle of the two nipples to the middle of the abdomen umbilicus, or a line from the middle of the abdomen umbilicus to the middle of the pubic symphysis.

In some embodiments, the two first conductive regions 2111 may be symmetrically disposed with respect to the mid-sagittal plane. In some embodiments, the two first conductive regions 2111 may not be symmetrically disposed with respect to the mid-sagittal plane, and when the two first conductive regions 2111 are not symmetrically disposed with respect to the mid-sagittal plane, the difference in distance between the two first conductive regions 2111 and the mid-sagittal plane is less than the preset distance threshold. For example, the range of the distance threshold may be 100-300 mm, and the preset distance threshold may be selected within the foregoing range according to the difference of users, for example, different preset distance thresholds may be determined according to the size (e.g., the number of codes) of the jacket 210. When the size of the upper garment 210 is large, the determined preset distance threshold may be large, and when the size of the upper garment 210 is small, the determined preset distance threshold may be small, so as to ensure the monitoring effect of users of different sizes. By limiting the setting positions of the two first conductive areas 2111 relative to the median sagittal plane, the motion artifacts of the two conductive electrodes 220 can have better consistency, which is beneficial to eliminating the motion artifacts, for example, the motion artifacts in the electrocardiosignal can be eliminated by a differential amplifying circuit, so as to improve the quality of the electrocardiosignal.

In some embodiments, both first conductive regions 2111 may be provided on the chest of the upper garment 210. The mid-sagittal plane of the human body may divide the chest region of the human body into a left chest region and a right chest region. As shown in fig. 3A, one first conductive region 2111 may be provided in a left chest region of the coat 210 and the other first conductive region 2111 may be provided in a right chest region of the coat 210.

In some embodiments, both first conductive regions 2111 may be provided at the waist of the upper garment 210. The mid-sagittal plane of the human body may divide the lumbar region of the human body into a left lumbar region and a right lumbar region. As shown in fig. 3B, one first conductive region 2111 may be provided at a left waist region of the coat 210, and the other first conductive region 2111 may be provided at a right waist region of the coat 210. By way of example only, when the user wears the upper garment 210, the two first conductive regions 2111 respectively conform to the ilium on either side of the torso centerline and the region adjacent to the ilium.

The second region 212 is configured to be connected to an external electrode.

In some embodiments, the second region 212 includes two second conductive regions 2121, and the size, shape of the two second conductive regions 2121 may be the same or different. One of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to one of the two first conductive regions 2111, and the other of the two second conductive regions 2121 is electrically connected to the other of the two first conductive regions 2111. Each second conductive region 2121 may receive an electrical signal generated by the user's body through the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121.

The position of the second conductive area 2121 corresponds to the position of the electrode in the monitoring device after the user wears the monitoring device, so that the user generated electrical signal is transmitted to the monitoring device through the second conductive area 2121. The shape and size of the second conductive region 2121 may be the same as or different from the shape of the electrode in the monitoring device. For example, the shape of the second conductive region 2121 may be the same as the shape of the electrode in the monitoring device and the area of the second conductive region 2121 may be larger than the area of the electrode in the monitoring device.

When the monitoring device is a heart rate belt, after the user wears the wearable device 200 and the heart rate belt, one of the two electrodes on the heart rate belt may be electrically connected to one of the two second conductive areas 2121, and the other electrode on the heart rate belt may be electrically connected to the other second conductive area 2121, so that an electrical signal generated by the user's body is collected through the second conductive area 2121.

In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, there is at least a partial overlap of the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected thereto along the circumferential and axial positions of the user's body. The axial direction of the user's body is a direction perpendicular to the ground when the human body stands, for example, a direction indicated by an arrow X shown in fig. 5, and the circumferential direction of the user's body is a direction surrounding the human body when the human body stands, for example, a direction indicated by an arrow Y shown in fig. 5.

In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 may completely overlap at locations along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. When the two first conductive areas 2111 are both provided on the chest of the jacket 210 or on the waist of the jacket 210, the two second conductive areas 2121 provided on the outer surface of the jacket 210 may be sized and positioned to correspond completely to the two first conductive areas 2111, respectively.

In some embodiments, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 may partially overlap at positions along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, fig. 4A is an outer surface of the jacket 210, with respect to each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 have partial overlap in positions along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. Note that, in order to illustrate the positional relationship between the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111, the first conductive region 2111 is shown in the form of a dotted line on the outer surface of the jacket 210 shown in fig. 4A and 4B, and the first conductive region 2111 is actually located on the inner surface of the jacket 210.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate electrical connection between a first conductive region 2111 and its corresponding second conductive region 2121 by disposing the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 in electrical connection with the second conductive region 2121 such that there is at least partial overlap along the circumferential and axial positions of the user's body. At the same time, this arrangement may also reduce the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the coat 210. It will be appreciated that the material of the region where the conductive electrode 220 is disposed and the other regions of the jacket 210 may have a certain heterogeneity in touch sense, and by reducing the total projected area of the first region 211 and the second region 212 on the jacket 210, the region having heterogeneity may be reduced, and the comfort of the user when wearing the jacket may be improved. In addition, the wearable device 200 can be ensured to be matched with various monitoring devices on the market, so that a user is prevented from buying the monitoring devices matched with the wearable device 200 independently, and the use cost of the user is reduced.

In some embodiments, for each second conductive region 2121, the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 do not overlap in position along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body. For example, fig. 4B shows the outer surface of the jacket 210, where two second conductive regions 2121 are disposed at the waist of the outer surface and two first conductive regions 2111 are disposed at the chest of the outer surface, where there is no overlap of the positions of the second conductive regions 2121 and the first conductive regions 2111 in the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide for more flexibility in the placement and selection of the second region 212 based on the acquisition of the electrical signals generated by the user's body by providing the second conductive region 2121 and the first conductive region 2111 electrically connected to the second conductive region 2121 so that the positions along the circumferential and axial directions of the user's body do not overlap. It will be appreciated that the location of the second conductive region 2121 corresponds to the location of the electrode in the monitoring device as previously described. Based on this, the position of the second conductive region 2121 can be set to meet different requirements. For example, the second region 212 may be disposed at the rear side of the waist of the user to reduce foreign body sensation when the user uses the monitoring device and to improve comfort. For another example, the second region 212 may be disposed on the back of the user to avoid contact or collision with the monitoring device while the user is moving, affecting the accuracy of the acquired electrical signal.

In some embodiments, a friction enhancing region comprising a relief structure is disposed between the two second conductive regions 2121. For example, the weave pattern of the cloth between the two second conductive areas 2121 of the jacket 210 is a corrugated structure. The contact area between the corresponding region and the monitoring equipment in each direction can be increased through the corrugated structure, no matter what direction the force is, the corrugated structure can provide better holding power, so that the friction force between the jacket 210 and the monitoring equipment can be increased, the relative sliding of the jacket and the monitoring equipment is reduced, and the stability of the monitoring equipment when the monitoring equipment collects electric signals is improved. In some alternative embodiments, the relief structure may be an array of bumps or other pattern or texture made of a non-slip material.

In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 may be disposed by a variety of methods to achieve an electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212. For example, the conductive electrode 220 may include one or more conductive wires based on which an electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212 is made. For another example, the conductive electrode 220 may further include a conductive patch disposed between the conductive patch of the first region 211 and the conductive patch of the second region 212 to at least partially adhere to each other, thereby electrically connecting the first region 211 and the second region 212. More about the foregoing arrangement of the conductive electrode 220 can be found in the description below.

In some embodiments, the conductive electrodes 220 in the two sets of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 may be disposed in the same or different ways. For example, both sets of electrically connected first conductive regions 2111 and second conductive regions 2121 are realized by conductive lines. As another example, one set of electrically connected first and second conductive regions 2111 and 2121 is implemented by conductive wires and the other set of electrically connected first and second conductive regions 2111 and 2121 is implemented by conductive patches.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure receive an electrical signal generated by a user's body through the jacket 210 and transmit the electrical signal from the inner surface to the outer surface of the jacket 210 through the conductive electrode 220, so that the electrical signal can be collected by the electrode of the monitoring device, and the arrangement can expand the wearing scene of the monitoring device. For example, the monitoring device may be worn or removed in any scenario, on the basis of wearing the wearable device 200. Meanwhile, the monitoring equipment is worn on the outer surface of the coat 210, static electricity generated by continuous friction between the monitoring equipment and clothes during movement can be avoided, and the accuracy of the collected electric signals is ensured. In addition, the direct contact between the monitoring equipment and the skin can be avoided, and the wearing comfort of a user is improved.

Some examples of the present specification will be described below with respect to an embodiment in which a conductive electrode is provided through a conductive wire.

In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 includes one or more conductive lines 221, a first portion 221-1 of the conductive lines 221 being located on an outer surface, and a second portion 221-2 of the conductive lines 221 extending to an inner surface and electrically connected to the first portion 221-1 of the conductive lines 221, thereby making an electrical connection between the first conductive region 2111 and a second conductive region 2121 corresponding to the first conductive region 2111. Alternatively, the first conductive region 2111 may be formed by the second portion 221-2 of the conductive line 221, and the second conductive region 2121 may be formed by the first portion 221-1 of the conductive line 221. Still alternatively, the first conductive region 2111 and/or the second conductive region 2121 may be formed of other conductive materials than the conductive line 221, and the first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221-2 of the conductive line 221 are electrically connected with the first conductive region 2111 and/or the second conductive region 2121, respectively, to achieve conduction of the first conductive region 2111 and the second conductive region 2121.

In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 may be provided to have elasticity, thereby securing the comfort and the integrity of the upper garment 210 in wearing.

The conductive line 221 may be provided in various ways to make it elastic. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made of at least conductive fiber wrapped with elastic fiber (e.g., polyurethane, polyetherester polyurethane, rubber filaments, etc.). The conductive wire may include only conductive fibers (e.g., metal fibers, conductive polymer fibers, etc.) and elastic fibers. The conductive thread may also include an insulated thread (e.g., cotton thread) to ensure the comfort of wearing the coat 210. In some embodiments, the conductive wire 221 is made by wrapping an elastic film around the conductive fiber. For example, a stretchable displacement may be reserved in the conductive fibers prior to being covered by the elastic film (e.g., placing the conductive fibers in a curved configuration). Coating the conductive fiber with an elastic film on this basis can make the finally formed conductive wire malleable. The aforementioned elastic film may include, but is not limited to, a polyurethane film, a polyester-polyurethane film, a rubber film, and the like.

The first region 211 and the second region 212 include at least a region formed by braiding the insulating wire 213 and/or the elastic wire.

In some embodiments, to provide electrical conductivity to first region 211 and second region 212, conductive line 221 may be further shuttled over the region formed by insulating line 213 and/or the elastic line weave, with conductive line 221 shuttled over the inner and outer surfaces, thereby forming first portion 221-1 and second portion 221-2 of the electrical connection. As shown in fig. 6, the first portion 221-1 of the conductive line 221 includes a portion of the conductive line 221 located at the outer surface, and the second portion 221-2 of the conductive line 221 includes a portion of the conductive line 221 located at the inner surface, and the first portion 221-1 and the second portion 221 are conducted through the conductive line 221 shuttled inside the woven region, thereby achieving the electrical connection of the first region 211 and the second region 212.

To implement the structure of the wearable device 200 described in the above embodiment, the weaving process of the wearable device 200 may be to weave the jacket 210 based on at least the insulating wire 213, and then weave each of the one or more conductive wires 221 to the inner surface and the outer surface of the jacket 210, so as to obtain the wearable device 200.

In some embodiments, second portion 221-2 of conductive line 221 is woven to form a corrugated structure in first region 211. The corrugated structure can increase the contact area between the first region 211 and the skin in all directions, and can provide better holding power no matter what direction the force is, so that the friction force between the first region 211 and the skin can be increased, the relative sliding between the first region 211 and the skin is reduced, and the stability of the monitoring equipment for collecting the electric signals is improved.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide for reworking various garments by providing the conductive electrode 220 as a conductive wire 221 woven in a shuttle fashion between an inner surface and an outer surface, electrically connecting the inner surface to the outer surface, and the wearable device 200 produced in this manner is low in cost, simple in process, and highly adaptable.

In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 may be formed by a mixed braiding of the insulating wire 213 and the conductive wire 221. The aforementioned hybrid braiding method may include a hybrid braiding wire and a braiding hybrid method. A hybrid yarn may refer to a yarn formed by combining a base material (e.g., an insulated yarn) and a special material (e.g., a conductive yarn) to form a unitary yarn. For example, in fig. 7, the upper garment 210 is knitted by a knitting yarn formed by knitting 4 conductive yarns 221 and 12 insulating yarns 213 in a mixed manner, and the upper garment 210 is knitted by a common knitting yarn (for example, a knitting yarn including only insulating yarns) in a non-designated area (for example, a non-first area 211 and a non-second area 212), and the upper garment 210 is obtained by selecting the above-described integral knitting yarn in a designated area (for example, a first area 211 and a second area 212) so that the corresponding area has the corresponding performance (for example, conductivity) and the knitting is completed. The subsequent braiding steps can be simplified by braiding the mixed braided wires in advance, the production difficulty is reduced, the braided wires containing the special materials are pretreated, the proportion of the special materials is easier to control, and the production quality is ensured. The knitting and mixing may mean that the upper garment 210 is knitted by a common knitting line, and when the designated area is knitted, a special material is added to perform mixed knitting on the basis of the common knitting line, or the common knitting line is replaced by the special material, and the upper garment 210 is obtained after the knitting is completed. When knitting the designated area, the number of strands of the common knitting yarn can be correspondingly reduced due to the addition of the special material, so that the number of strands of the common knitting yarn is consistent with the number of strands of other areas of the upper garment 210, and the integrity of the upper garment 210 is ensured. For example, when the upper garment 210 is knitted by 4 common knitting yarns, two conductive yarns 221 are added when knitting the first region 211, and the number of common knitting yarns can be reduced to 2 to ensure that the total number of knitting yarns is 4 when knitting the first region 211, so that the total number of knitting yarns is consistent with other regions of the upper garment 210. The flexibility in production can be improved through braiding mixing, the proportion of special materials can be adjusted at any time according to different requirements, pretreatment of braided wires is not needed, redundant resource consumption possibly brought by pretreatment is reduced, and a braiding result is obtained more rapidly.

In order to realize the structure of the wearable device 200 in the above embodiment, the mixed knitting process of the wearable device 200 may be that knitting is performed by selecting the knitting yarn made of the insulating yarn 213 when the loom generates the region other than the first region 211 and the second region 212 in the jacket 210, and knitting is performed by selecting the knitting yarn made of the conductive yarn 221 and the insulating yarn 213 when the loom generates the region of the first region 211 and the second region 212, and the wearable device 200 is obtained after the whole knitting of the jacket 210 is completed. The process of the hybrid knitting of the wearable device 200 may also be to select a knitting yarn made of the insulating yarn 213 for knitting when the loom generates the region other than the first region 211 and the second region 212 in the jacket 210, and to increase the knitting yarn made of the conductive yarn 211 for knitting on the basis of the knitting yarn made of the insulating yarn 213 when the loom generates the region of the first region 211 and the second region 212, and to correspondingly reduce the number of strands of the knitting yarn made of the insulating yarn 213, or to directly knit by replacing the insulating yarn 213 with the conductive yarn 211, thereby obtaining the wearable device 200 after the whole knitting of the jacket 210 is completed.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure may improve the integrity of the wearable device 200 and wearing comfort by braiding the first region 211 and the second region 212 from a braid formed by a mixed braiding of the conductive wire 221 and the insulating wire 213.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conductive wire 221 is used to electrically connect the first region 211 and the second region 212, so that the integrity of the wearable device 200 can be ensured, and the wearing comfort is improved.

Some examples of the present description will be described below with respect to an embodiment in which a conductive electrode is provided through a conductive patch.

In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 220 includes at least one set of conductive patches 222, one of the set of conductive patches 222 being disposed on the inner surface and another of the set of conductive patches 222 being disposed on the outer surface, the conductive patches 222 disposed on the inner surface being electrically connected to the conductive patches 222 disposed on the outer surface at least in part by a fit. For example, for each set of conductive patches 222, a portion of the conductive patches 222 disposed on the inner surface of the set of conductive patches 222 may be bonded to the conductive patches 222 disposed on the outer surface of the set of conductive patches 222, thereby making electrical connection. For another example, for each set of conductive patches 222, the conductive patches 222 disposed on the inner surface of the set of conductive patches 222 may be completely bonded to the conductive patches 222 disposed on the outer surface of the set of conductive patches 222, thereby making electrical connection.

As shown in fig. 8, a through hole 214 may be disposed between the first region 211 and the second region 212 of the jacket 210, one conductive patch 222 may be attached to the inner surface, the other conductive patch 222 may be attached to the outer surface, and the two conductive patches are attached at the position of the through hole 214 to achieve electrical connection, and the size of the through hole 214 affects the degree of attachment between the conductive patches 222.

The conductive patch 222 may be any shape, for example, the conductive patch 222 may be circular, rectangular, triangular, or other shape. The conductive patch 222 may be disposed on the inner surface as well as the outer surface in a variety of ways. Such as gluing or stitching.

In some embodiments, the conductive patch 222 includes a conductive film or a metal electrode. The two conductive patches 222 of each set of conductive patches 222 may be bonded by a conductive medium (e.g., conductive paste, conductive adhesive tape) to thereby make electrical connection between the conductive patches 222.

In some embodiments, each conductive patch 222 includes a plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221, and a wire 2222 that electrically connects the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221.

It can be appreciated that, since the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes are electrically connected through the conductive wire 2222, when any one of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 on a certain conductive patch 222 receives an electrical signal, the electrical signal can be transmitted to other sub-conductive electrodes 2221 through the conductive wire 2222, and when the external electrode is electrically connected to any one or more of the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221, the electrical signal generated by the user body can be received.

In some embodiments, a plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 may be arranged in an array. As shown in fig. 9, the conductive patch 222 may include 4 sub-conductive electrodes 2221 arranged in an array, and the 4 sub-conductive electrodes 2221 are electrically connected by a wire 2222.

In some embodiments, the wire 2222 connecting between the plurality of sub-conductive electrodes 2221 may have an extension tension. For example, the wire 2222 may be an elastic wire that is elastically stretchable in the axial direction of the wire 2222. The aforementioned wire 2222 may be a hybrid wire of a metal wire (e.g., silver wire or copper wire) and an elastic wire (e.g., rubber wire). As another example, the wire 2222 connecting the two sub-conductive electrodes 2221 may have a certain bend, which may allow the wire 2222 to have a certain stretchability. When the jacket 210 is deformed through the above arrangement, the conductive wire 2222 is correspondingly deformed, so that the integrity of the conductive patch 222 and the jacket 210 is ensured, the softness of the corresponding region of the conductive patch 222 is improved, and the friction between the conductive patch 222 and other parts (such as monitoring equipment or skin) can be increased, so that relative sliding is prevented.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conductive patch 222 is used to electrically connect the first region 211 and the second region 222, and the method for disposing the conductive electrode 220 has low production cost, simple process and convenient processing and production.

It is worth noting that water has conductivity. After the user wears the wearable device 200, the first area 211 or the second area 212 may be in conduction with other areas of the jacket 210 through water (e.g., rainwater, sweat), which may cause the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device to have larger noise, affect the reliability of detection, and even may occur that two first conductive areas (or the second conductive areas) are in conduction and cannot detect the electrocardiographic signal. Based on this, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first area 211 and the second area 212 are waterproof, so as to avoid the water from conducting the first area 211 or the second area 212 with other areas of the jacket 210, and ensure the accuracy of the collected electrical signals.

In some embodiments, the water may be prevented from conducting the first region 211 or the second region 212 to other regions by providing a waterproof structure 215 around the first region 211 and the second region 212. In some embodiments, it is also possible to prevent water from conducting the first region 211 or the second region 212 to other regions by providing a waterproof layer to the first region 211 and the second region 212. In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 may also be woven from at least insulated wires and waterproof fibers, thereby avoiding water from conducting the first region 211 or the second region 212 to other regions. For more on the foregoing various waterproof arrangement embodiments, reference is made to the description below in connection with this specification.

In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 may be treated with a waterproof arrangement. In some embodiments, the first region 211 and the second region 212 may also be treated with various water-resistant settings to avoid water from conducting the first region 211 or the second region 212 to other regions to a greater extent. For example, the waterproof structures 215 are disposed around the first and second regions 211 and 212, and the first and second regions 211 and 212 may be further provided with waterproof layers, thereby performing multiple waterproof arrangements on the first and second regions 211 and 212.

Some examples of the present description will be described below for various embodiments of the waterproofing arrangement.

In some embodiments, waterproof structures 215 are disposed around the first region 211 and the second region 212, respectively. The periphery of the first region 211 refers to the region of the inner surface of the jacket 210 surrounding the first region 211, and the periphery of the first region 211 may "isolate" the first region 211 from other regions of the inner surface. The perimeter of the second region 212 refers to the area of the outer surface of the jacket 210 surrounding the second region 212, and the perimeter of the second region 212 may "isolate" the second region 212 from other areas of the outer surface.

The waterproof structure 215 is a structure for preventing moisture from penetrating into the surrounding area of the first region 211 and the surrounding area of the second region 212.

In some embodiments, the first region 211 is connected to other regions of the coat 210 by waterproof structures 215. The other regions may refer to regions of the upper garment 210 other than the first region 211 and the second region 212. As shown in fig. 10, the first region 211 is surrounded by the waterproof structure 215, and the first region 211 can be connected with other regions of the upper garment 210 through the waterproof structure 215. Through this arrangement, the first region 211 can be prevented from being electrically connected with other regions of the jacket 210 through water, noise of the electric signal collected by the monitoring device can be reduced, and accuracy of the obtained electric signal can be improved.

The waterproof arrangement of the first region 211 in connection with other regions of the upper garment 210 through the waterproof structure 215 may be adapted for use with the various conductive electrode arrangements described in the embodiments above in this specification. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is disposed through the conductive line 221, the waterproof structure 215 may "insulate" the first region 211 from other regions, avoiding the regions where the conductive electrode 220 is disposed (e.g., the first region 211, the second region 212) from electrically connecting with other regions of the jacket 210. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is disposed through the conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 may also "insulate" the first region 211 from other regions, and avoid the regions where the conductive patch 222 is disposed (e.g., the first region 211, the second region 212) from electrically connecting with other regions of the upper garment 210.

In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 may be obtained by a variety of processes.

In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 215 may be made of waterproof fiber weave. The aforementioned waterproof fiber may be made of polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, or the like. For example, in the production of the upper garment 210, the surrounding area of the first region 211 may be woven with waterproof fibers to obtain the waterproof structure 215 described above. By providing the waterproof structure 215 with waterproof fibers, the integrity of the jacket 210 can be ensured, and the comfort of the user when wearing the jacket can be improved. For another example, after the preliminary knitting of the upper garment 210 is completed, the surrounding area of the first region 211 is woven through a waterproof fiber shuttle, thereby obtaining the waterproof structure 215. For example, when the jacket 210 is produced, the first region 211 alone may be produced while leaving the surrounding region of the first region 211 and the position of the first region 211 unwoven, the surrounding region of the first region 211 may be woven with waterproof fibers, and the first region 211 and the surrounding region thereof may be sewn to the jacket 210.

In some embodiments, the waterproofing structure 215 may also be formed by infiltration of a waterproofing agent around the first region 211. The waterproofing agent may include, but is not limited to, fluorine-based waterproofing agents, siliceous waterproofing agents, and the like. After the jacket 210 is completed, the waterproof structure 215 may be formed by penetrating the waterproof agent into the first region 211.

The waterproof structure 215 is arranged by the waterproof agent, so that the production process of the coat 210 is simplified, and the waterproof structure 215 of the coat 210 can be subjected to the complementary treatment at any time according to the requirement, so that the waterproof effect is enhanced. For example, when the waterproof effect of the original waterproof structure 215 of a certain coat 210 is weakened due to abrasion or other reasons, the waterproof effect can be enhanced by performing the additional treatment with the waterproof agent on the basis of the original waterproof structure 215.

The waterproof structure 215 provided by the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent in the above embodiments of the present specification can be applied to various conductive electrode schemes described in the above embodiments of the present specification. For example, when the conductive electrode 220 is disposed through the conductive line 221, the waterproof structure 215 disposed through the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent does not affect the electrical connection of the first region 211 and the second region 212. For another example, when the conductive electrode 220 is disposed through the conductive patch 222, the waterproof structure 215 disposed through the waterproof fiber or the waterproof agent does not affect the electrical connection between the first region 211 and the second region 212.

In some embodiments, similarly, the second region 212 may also be connected to other regions of the coat 210 by waterproof structures 215.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, the jacket 210 may further include a first waterproof layer 216 and a second waterproof layer 217, where the first region 211 is disposed on a side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the second region 212 is disposed on a side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin. The aforementioned waterproof layers (e.g., first waterproof layer 216, second waterproof layer 217) may be obtained by a variety of methods. For example, the waterproofing fiber is woven or formed by infiltration of the waterproofing agent through the corresponding area. For more details on the obtaining of the water repellent layer by the water repellent fiber, the water repellent agent, reference may be made to the description of the obtaining of the water repellent structure 215 by the water repellent fiber, the water repellent agent, in the upper part of the present specification. For another example, the upper garment 210 is produced by reserving the region corresponding to the waterproof layer without knitting, and after knitting other parts of the upper garment 210, the polyethylene film or other waterproof film is processed by various methods (e.g., sewing, gluing, etc.) to the corresponding region of the upper garment 210, thereby obtaining the waterproof layer.

Since first region 211 is disposed on the skin-facing side of first waterproof layer 216 and second region 212 is disposed on the skin-facing side of second waterproof layer 217, and first waterproof layer 216 and second waterproof layer 217 are not wetted by water, even if water is contained in the surrounding regions of first region 211 and second region 212, they are not transferred to first waterproof layer 216 and second waterproof layer 217. With this arrangement, it is possible to avoid the corresponding regions (e.g., the first region 211, the second region 212) from being wetted with water in the thickness direction of the coat 210, resulting in electrical connection with other regions through water.

It is understood that since first region 211 is disposed on first waterproof layer 216, the size and shape of first waterproof layer 216 and first region 211 may be the same, or the size of first waterproof layer 216 may be greater than the size of first region 211, and similarly, the size and shape of second waterproof layer 217 and second region 212 may be the same, or the size of second waterproof layer 217 may be greater than the size of second region 212.

In some embodiments, first region 211 is disposed on a side of first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and second region 212 is disposed on a side of second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, so that conductive electrode 220 can electrically connect first region 211 and second region 212, and meanwhile, it is also possible to avoid that the region where conductive electrode 220 is disposed is electrically connected to other regions of jacket 210 through water. For example, the conductive wire 211 shown in fig. 11 may be disposed through a side of the first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin and a side of the second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, so as to electrically connect the first area 211 and the second area 212, and avoid that the area where the conductive wire 211 is disposed is electrically connected with other areas of the jacket 210 through water. For another example, one conductive patch 222 may be disposed on a side of first waterproof layer 216 facing the skin, and the other conductive patch 222 may be disposed on a side of second waterproof layer 217 facing away from the skin, where the two conductive patches 222 may be at least partially bonded to electrically connect first region 211 and second region 212, while also avoiding electrically connecting conductive patch 222 with other regions of jacket 210 through water.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure may prevent first region 211 and second region 212 from being electrically connected to other regions of upper garment 210 through water by providing first waterproof layer 216 and second waterproof layer 217, thereby reducing noise of the electrical signal collected by the monitoring device and improving accuracy of the obtained electrical signal.

While the basic concepts have been described above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing detailed disclosure is by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting. Although not explicitly described herein, various modifications, improvements, and adaptations to the present disclosure may occur to one skilled in the art. Such modifications, improvements, and modifications are intended to be suggested within this specification, and therefore, such modifications, improvements, and modifications are intended to be included within the spirit and scope of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

Meanwhile, the specification uses specific words to describe the embodiments of the specification.
