Patent Description:
In today's society, various electronic products emerge in endlessly. In order to avoid disturbing the surrounding environment while users are enjoying the convenient electronic products, earphones cannot be ignored. In response to the rapid development of science and technology in recent years, wireless earphones gradually appeared in people's life. Wireless earphones are favored by users due to their portability, which can resolve various inconveniences of traditional wired earphones.

Currently, increasing functions are integrated on the wireless earphones, which cause high power consumption of the wireless earphones. In addition, since the wireless earphones are relatively small, batteries disposed on the wireless earphones are relatively small, and therefore capacities of the batteries are relatively small. As a result, an endurance of the wireless earphones is insufficient. Therefore, in order to realize a relatively long endurance of the wireless earphones, the existing wireless earphones generally need to be equipped with an earphone box. The earphone box is provided with a battery, so that the earphone box can charge the wireless earphones. However, the wireless earphones are placed in the earphone box during charging. At this time, users cannot wear the wireless earphones and therefore cannot use the wireless earphones, which affects the user experience.

<CIT> discloses an eyewear including a left temple and a right temple. Each of the temples has a cavity sized to receive an audio device such as a Bluetooth transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly with a remote device. An earphone may be connected to the Bluetooth transceiver through a receptacle.

<CIT> discloses glasses including at least one wireless earphone and a glasses body used for charging the wireless earphone, where at least one glasses temple of the glasses body is internally provided with a charging device, the glasses temple has an opening end, and a charging end of the wireless earphone passes through the opening end and is inserted into the charging device, so as to charge the wireless earphone.

<CIT> discloses a communication eyewear assembly which is structured to be worn on a person's head so as to protect the person's eyes and also to permit hands-free multimedia wireless communication.

This application discloses a wearable device assembly, which can resolve the problem that users cannot use wireless earphones during charging.

To resolve the foregoing technical problems, this application is implemented as follows.

The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of this application are described below through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to <FIG>, an embodiment of this application discloses a wearable device assembly. The disclosed wearable device assembly includes a wireless earphone <NUM> and smart glasses <NUM>.

The wireless earphone <NUM> includes an earphone body <NUM> and a speaker part <NUM>. The earphone body <NUM> is rotatably connected to the speaker part <NUM>. The earphone body <NUM> may be rotatably connected to the speaker part <NUM> in various ways. For example, the earphone body <NUM> may be hinged to the speaker part <NUM>, or the earphone body <NUM> is connected to the speaker part <NUM> by a plastic connection member. Since the plastic connection member has desirable plasticity, the plastic connection member can be easily deformed and restored to the original shape by an external force. Specifically, the plastic connection member may be deformed to rotate the earphone body <NUM> relative to the speaker part <NUM>. Certainly, the plastic connection member can be kept in the original shape when free of an external force, so that the earphone body <NUM> can be kept in the rotation position for a relatively long time and does not change. Finally, the plastic connection member may be restored to an original position by an external force. Various types of plastic connection members may be used, such as a memory metal strip. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

The earphone body <NUM> is rotatably switched between the first position and the second position relative to the speaker part <NUM>, and the earphone body <NUM> is provided with a first electrical connection part <NUM>. The first electrical connection part <NUM> can rotate with the earphone body <NUM>, to change a position of the first electrical connection part <NUM>. A user may supply power to or charge the earphone body <NUM> through the first electrical connection part <NUM>. Certainly, the earphone body <NUM> may be connected to other electronic devices through the first electrical connection part <NUM> for data transfer.

The smart glasses <NUM> include glasses legs <NUM> and a battery module. The smart glasses <NUM> generally further include an optical module support, which is connected to one of the glasses legs <NUM>. At least one of the glasses leg <NUM> and the optical module support is provided with the battery module. Further, both the glasses leg <NUM> and the optical module support are provided with the battery module, so that a battery capacity of the smart glasses <NUM> is relatively large. In this way, the smart glasses <NUM> have a relatively long endurance. The glasses leg <NUM> is provided with a second electrical connection part <NUM>. The second electrical connection part <NUM> is electrically connected to the battery module, so that the user may charge the battery module through the second electrical connection part <NUM>, or the battery module may charge other devices through the second electrical connection part <NUM>. Certainly, the smart glasses <NUM> may be connected to other electronic devices through the second electrical connection part <NUM> for data transfer.

In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the first position, the earphone body <NUM> is separated from the glasses leg <NUM>. At this time, the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM> work independently of each other, and the wireless earphone <NUM> does not need to be charged or needs power supply by the smart glasses <NUM>, or the wireless earphone <NUM> does not need to be connected to the smart glasses <NUM> for data transfer. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the earphone body <NUM> is connected to the glasses leg <NUM>, and the first electrical connection part <NUM> is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part <NUM>. At this time, the smart glasses <NUM> charge or supply power to the earphone body <NUM> through the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>, or the smart glasses <NUM> are connected to the wireless earphone <NUM> through the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> for data exchange, so that the smart glasses <NUM> and the wireless earphone <NUM> can realize data exchange.

During specific operation of the wearable device assembly, when the wireless earphone <NUM> needs to be charged, the user may manually drive the earphone body <NUM> to rotate, so that the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, the earphone body <NUM> is connected to the glasses leg <NUM>, and the first electrical connection part <NUM> is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part <NUM>. At this time, the smart glasses <NUM> charge or supply power to the earphone body <NUM> through the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>. The user can still use the wireless earphone <NUM> during the charging or power supply of the wireless earphone <NUM> in this manner. When charging of the wireless earphone <NUM> is completed or the wireless earphone does not need power supply, the user may manually drive the earphone body <NUM> to rotate, so that the earphone body <NUM> is rotated from the second position to the first position, and the earphone body <NUM> is separated from the glasses leg <NUM>. Therefore, the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM> work independently of each other.

In the wearable device assembly provided in this application, the earphone body <NUM> is rotatably switched between the first position and the second position relative to the speaker part <NUM>, in a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the first position, the earphone body <NUM> is separated from the glasses leg <NUM>, and in a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the earphone body <NUM> is connected to the glasses leg <NUM>, and the first electrical connection part <NUM> is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part <NUM>. The charging or power supply of the wireless earphone <NUM> may be realized by changing the position of the earphone body <NUM>, and the wireless earphone <NUM> is charged or powered by the smart glasses <NUM>, so that the user can still use the wireless earphone <NUM> during the charging or power supply of the wireless earphone <NUM> in this manner. Therefore, a problem that the user cannot wear and use the wireless earphone <NUM> as a result of a need of placing the wireless earphone <NUM> in an earphone box for charging is resolved, thereby improving the user experience.

In this embodiment of this application, the earphone body <NUM> is rotatably switched between the first position and the second position relative to the speaker part <NUM>. For relatively effective electrical connection between the earphone body <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> during the rotation of the earphone body <NUM>, in an optional embodiment, the earphone body <NUM> may be electrically connected to the speaker part <NUM> through a flexible circuit board. During the rotation of the earphone body <NUM>, the flexible circuit board can realize relatively effective electrical connection between the earphone body <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> by virtue of its flexibility, to prevent the electrical connection between the earphone body <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> from failing during the rotation of the earphone body <NUM>, so that a failure of extracting sound information through the speaker part <NUM> by the user is prevented, thereby improving the usage reliability of the wireless earphone <NUM>.

As described above, the earphone body <NUM> may be rotatably connected to the speaker part <NUM> in various ways. Optionally, one of the earphone body <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> may be provided with a connection hole, and another is provided with a connection shaft. The connection shaft is connected to the connection hole, and the connection shaft is rotatably matched with the connection hole. Specifically, the earphone body <NUM> may be provided with a connection hole, and the speaker part <NUM> may be provided with a connection shaft. Certainly, the earphone body <NUM> may be provided with a connection shaft, and the speaker part <NUM> may be provided with a connection hole. This is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. Arranging a connection hole or a connection shaft on the earphone body <NUM> or on the speaker part <NUM> is convenient and simple. In addition, the rotatable connection between the connection shaft and connection hole is relatively reliable, so that the earphone body <NUM> can be rotatably switched between the first position and the second position relative to the speaker part <NUM> stably, which helps the user realize the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> by rotating the earphone body <NUM>, thereby helping the user charge the wireless earphone <NUM>.

During the charging of the wireless earphone <NUM>, the earphone body <NUM> needs to be kept at the second position for a relatively long time. Based on the above, in an optional embodiment, one of an inner wall of the connection hole and an outer wall of the connection shaft may be provided with a plurality of elastic protrusions, another may be provided with a limiting groove, and the elastic protrusions may be limited in and matched with the limiting groove in a rotation direction of the earphone body <NUM>. When the wireless earphone <NUM> needs to be charged, the user merely needs to manually drive the earphone body <NUM> to rotate. When the earphone body <NUM> is rotated, the elastic protrusions are elastically deformed, so that the user can drive the earphone body <NUM> to rotate. After the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, the elastic protrusions are restored to a shape before the deformation, and can be limited in and matched with the limiting groove in the rotation direction of the earphone body <NUM>, to prevent a difficulty in stably keeping the earphone body <NUM> at the second position, thereby avoiding the failure of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> as a result of the difficulty in stably keeping the earphone body <NUM> at the second position. In this way, the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> is improved, so that the wireless earphone <NUM> can be stably charged, or the smart glasses <NUM> can stably supply power to the wireless earphone <NUM>.

In order to further improve the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>, the first electrical connection part <NUM> may optionally include a first electrical connection terminal 111a and a first connection member 111b, and the second electrical connection part <NUM> may include a second electrical connection terminal 211a and a second connection member 211b. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the first position, the first connection member 111b may be separated from the second connection member 211b, and the first electrical connection terminal 111a may be separated from the second electrical connection terminal 211a. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the first connection member 111b may be connected to the second connection member 211b, and the first electrical connection terminal 111a may be electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal 211a.

In this case, the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a can realize the electrical connection between the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM>, so that the smart glasses <NUM> can supply power to or charge the wireless earphone <NUM>. In addition, the first connection member 111b and the second connection member 211b can cause the earphone body <NUM> to be stably connected to the glasses leg <NUM>, so as to prevent separation of the first electrical connection terminal 111a from the second electrical connection terminal 211a as a result of separation of the earphone body <NUM> from the glasses leg <NUM> during the charging of the wireless earphone <NUM>, thereby avoiding the difficulty in stable electrical connection between the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a. In this away, the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> can be further improved.

The first connection member 111b and the second connection member 211b may have various structures. For example, the first connection member 111b may be a hook, and the second connection member 211b may be a slot. The hook may be detachably matched with the slot, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application. Optionally, one of the first connection member 111b and the second connection member 211b may be a magnetic member, and another may be a magnetic absorber. When the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the magnetic member is magnetically connected to the magnetic absorber. That is to say, the first connection member 111b may be a magnetic member, and the second connection member 211b may be a magnetic absorber. Certainly, the first connection member 111b may be a magnetic absorber, and the second connection member 211b may be a magnetic member.

Compared with the above structure formed by the hook and the slot matched with each other, such a structure does not require arrangement of a slot or a protrusion on the earphone body <NUM> or the glasses leg <NUM>, so that appearances of the glasses leg <NUM> and the earphone body <NUM> are relatively flat, and the appearances of the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM> are quite complete, bringing relatively desirable experience to the user during use. Therefore, the user experience is relatively desirable.

It should be noted that magnetic member is a component with magnetism. For example, the magnetic member may be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet. The magnetic absorber is a component that can be magnetically absorbed. For example, the magnetic absorber may be an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or an iron member.

As described above, the first connection member 111b and the second connection member 211b can cause the earphone body <NUM> to be stably connected to the glasses leg <NUM>. However, the connection between the earphone body <NUM> and the glasses leg <NUM> is not limited to this manner. In an optional embodiment, the first electrical connection part <NUM> may include a first electrical connection terminal 111a, and the second electrical connection part <NUM> may include a second electrical connection terminal 211a. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the first position, the first electrical connection terminal 111a is separated from the second electrical connection terminal 211a. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the first electrical connection terminal 111a is magnetically and electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal 211a. That is to say, the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a can cause the earphone body <NUM> to be stably connected to the glasses leg <NUM>, so as to prevent separation of the first electrical connection terminal 111a from the second electrical connection terminal 211a as a result of separation of the earphone body <NUM> from the glasses leg <NUM> during the charging of the wireless earphone <NUM>, thereby avoiding the difficulty in stable electrical connection between the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a. In this away, the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> can be further improved.

Specifically, while the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a are electrically connected, the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a are magnetically attracted, so that the earphone body <NUM> is stably connected to the glasses leg <NUM>. In addition, the first electrical connection part <NUM> does not require the first connection member 111b, and the second electrical connection part <NUM> does not require the second connection member 211b, which helps simplify the structure of the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>, thereby simplifying the structures of the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM>, and reducing the structural complexity of the wireless earphone <NUM> and the smart glasses <NUM>.

Optionally, one of the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a is an elastic electrical connection terminal, and another is an electrical connection sheet. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, the elastic electrical connection terminal is electrically connected to the electrical connection sheet. That is to say, the first electrical connection terminal 111a may be an elastic electrical connection terminal, and the second electrical connection terminal 211a may be an electrical connection sheet. Alternatively, the first electrical connection terminal 111a may be an electrical connection sheet, and the second electrical connection terminal 211a may be an elastic electrical connection terminal. This application is not limited thereto. The elastic electrical connection terminal may be elastically and electrically connected to the electrical connection sheet, so that the elastic electrical connection terminal can be adaptively adjusted according to an actual distance between the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a, and is elastically abutted against the electrical connection sheet, to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a, thereby preventing the failure of the electrical connection as a result of a gap between the first electrical connection terminal 111a and the second electrical connection terminal 211a.

The elastic electrical connection terminal may be conductive foam, an elastic frame, a pogo pin, or the like, and the electrical connection sheet may be a metal sheet. The specific types of elastic electrical connection terminal and electrical connection sheet are not limited in this embodiment of this application.

In order to facilitate the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> after the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, in an optional embodiment, the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> may be disposed on a same side of the earphone body <NUM>. After the user wears the wireless earphone <NUM>, the first electrical connection part <NUM> faces the user side. The glasses leg <NUM> may include a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. The second electrical connection part <NUM> may be disposed on the outer side surface. After the user wears the smart glasses <NUM>, the second electrical connection part <NUM> faces away from the user side. In this case, after the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, the first electrical connection part <NUM> can be just opposite to the second electrical connection part <NUM>, which helps the user operate the earphone body <NUM> to realize the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>, thereby helping control the wearable device assembly.

Optionally, the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the speaker part <NUM> may be respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the earphone body <NUM>. After the user wears the wireless earphone <NUM>, the first electrical connection part <NUM> may be located on a side of the earphone body <NUM> facing away from the user. Specifically, the glasses leg <NUM> may further include an inner side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. The second electrical connection part <NUM> may be disposed on the inner side surface. After the user wears the smart glasses <NUM>, the second electrical connection part <NUM> is located on the inner side surface facing the user. In this case, after the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, the earphone body <NUM> may be located between the user and the glasses leg <NUM>, so that the first electrical connection part <NUM> can be opposite to the second electrical connection part <NUM>, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>.

Alternatively, the first electrical connection part <NUM> may be disposed on an end surface of the earphone body <NUM> away from the speaker part <NUM>, and the second electrical connection part <NUM> may be disposed on the bottom surface of the glasses leg <NUM>. After the earphone body <NUM> is rotated to the second position, the end surface of the earphone body <NUM> away from the speaker part <NUM> can contact with the bottom surface of the glasses leg <NUM>, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM>. In this embodiment of this application, the positions of the first electrical connection part <NUM> and the second electrical connection part <NUM> are not limited.

In a case that a length of the earphone body <NUM> is relatively small, it is difficult to connect the earphone body <NUM> and the glasses leg <NUM> after the earphone body is rotated to the second position. Based on the above, in an optional embodiment, the first electrical connection part <NUM> is retractably disposed in the earphone body <NUM>. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the first position, the first electrical connection part <NUM> may be retracted into the earphone body <NUM>. In a case that the earphone body <NUM> is located at the second position, at least a portion of the first electrical connection part <NUM> extends out of the earphone body <NUM>, and is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part <NUM>. The earphone body <NUM> with the retractable structure can lengthen the earphone body <NUM>, so that the earphone body <NUM> has a relatively large length. In this way, the earphone body <NUM> can be more easily connected to the glasses leg <NUM> after being rotated to the second position, thereby avoiding a difficulty in connecting the earphone body <NUM> and the glasses leg <NUM> after the earphone body is rotated to the second position as a result of the relatively small length size of the earphone body <NUM>.

In order to realize a voice call through the wireless earphone <NUM> for a user, a microphone is disposed on an end of the earphone body <NUM> away from the speaker part <NUM>. During specific use by the user, the earphone body <NUM> may be rotated to cause the microphone to approach a mouth of the user, so that the wireless earphone <NUM> can collect relatively clear voice information, which alleviates the distortion during the voice call of the user, thereby improving the user experience of the wireless earphone <NUM>.

The above embodiments of this application focus on the differences between the various embodiments. The various embodiments long may be combined into more optimal embodiments as long as the different optimization features of the various embodiments are not contradictory. For brevity, the details are not described herein.
