Abstract
Wearable communication devices, e.g. implemented in a watch, using short range communication to a cell phone, and facilitating natural and intuitive user interface with low-power implementation allow a user to easily access all features of the phone, all while a phone is nearby but not visible. Notification is performed with vibration, an LED light and OLED text display of incoming calls, texts, and calendar events. It allows communicating hands-free. This allows using the communication device as “remote control” for home devices, etc. via voice and buttons. The device comprises interfaces motion sensors such as accelerometers, magnetometer and gyroscope, infrared proximity sensors, vibrator motor, and/or voice recognition. Low power consumption is achieved by dynamical configuration of sensor parameters to support only the necessary sensor functions at any given state of the device.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of a watch with touch sensor, motion sensors including an IR sensors being worn on the wrist as a watch, with the IR proximity sensors detecting the motion of the fingers. -
FIG. 2 illustrates the watch comprising a 3-axis accelerometer 20 andmagnetometer 21, a gyroscope 22, atouch sensor 23, infrared (IR)receivers 24, andIR transmitters 25. - Motion sensors such as
accelerometer 20,magnetometer 21 and gyroscope 22 can be used to sense movement of the user's arm/wrist, determining velocity, direction, and displacement vector in 3-D space, which can be used as input selection for a smart phone application or together with an audio generation device for gaming applications. For example, an incoming call can be accepted by swinging the wrist in the horizontal direction, or vice versa rejected by swinging in the vertical direction. More complex motion up to full 3-D displacement can be determined by combining data generated by the accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope. -
FIG. 3 a shows a preferred embodiment of the IR proximity sensors for detection of finger motion. The IR sensors can be worn on the lower side of the arm to follow better the movement of the fingers. - Multiple devices can be synchronized via star or mesh network for multi-point motion sensing. Motion data can be tagged with time-stamp, sent wirelessly over Bluetooth using SCO packets, so that data from multiple devices are time-synchronized to each other. Multiple gaming controllers can be playing one game with audio and vibration feedback to each user in real time, all synchronized to each other.
- Moreover through an application (app) on a Smart Phone or through a web portal a user can utilize the equivalent of paper ‘post-it notes’, which will be sent to the watch. Using hand gestures, as shown in
FIGS. 3 b-3 g, or voice input, the user is able to see the list of post-it notes on the display. - It should be noted that the user can browse through menus using the wrist watch. The wrist watch has a small display, and an accelerometer. Therefore the user can browse through them by tilting the watch up/down/sideways, and select by a vertical shake, and exit/reject using a horizontal shake. This can be used by the user to view the contact list, and call them without touching the watch, or phone. As outlined above the watch can be used to look at post-it notes and also as a remote control.
-
FIG. 3 b shows the normal orientation of the watch on the hand. Followed are some key functions of the watch which can be used in conjunction with hand/wrist orientation and/or movement: -
- The watch either displays using the LCD, or, plays audio, of either current State information, or, Selectable Action information, or, Menu information
- The watch can be used as a remote control with BLE/IR.
- Hand Tilt up/down, as shown in
FIGS. 3 c and 3 d, can be used to scroll through next/previous State/Selectable Action/Menu - Hand Tilt up/down, as shown in
FIGS. 3 c and 3 d, can be used as next/previous selections in remote control mode - Hand Orientation of up/down, as shown in
FIGS. 3 e and 3 f, can be used for next/previous page of State/Selectable Action List/Menu List. - Hand Orientation up/down, as shown in
FIGS. 3 e and 3 f, can be used as Fast Forward/Fast Backward in remote control mode - Vertical/Horizontal Hand Motion, as shown in
FIG. 3 g, is used to Accept/Reject current State/Selectable Action/Menu - Vertical/Horizontal hand motion can be used to play, Select/stop, and/or Exit in remote control mode
- Motion sensing can also allow applications for the wearable communication device such as
-
- Drums—coordinated arm motion to drum sounds—different drums, loudness and tones depending on motion parameters;
- Punch-up—coordinated punching motion to impact sounds: wall, glass break, human screams, or locating and punching an opponent; and
- Gesture control or vibration.
- It should be noted that the sound comes from the watch itself, different than prior art devices.
- Furthermore a vibrator motor of the watch can be used for haptic feedback, e.g. in combination with motion sensors to provide force effects for drums, punch-ups, etc.
- Moreover the watch may be equipped with one or more infrared (IR) proximity sensors. These sensors can be deployed on the watch and/or watch bands to sense finger movements. The IR proximity sensors may be used for hand gesture input. The IR proximity sensors, mounted on wrist band with focus towards inside palm of hand, sense for example finger movements. The IR proximity sensors work by sensing heat, determining distance, and triangulating to determine position. Gaming applications can be provided by the IR proximity sensors of the watch, such as air guitar.
- An important feature is also voice recognition. One exemplary application is for an incoming call, with the user saying “yes” to answer the call or “no” to decline and send the caller to a voicemail application. Other commands are of course possible to accept or to decline a call as well, especially considering other languages. The voice commands can also be used for other functions. It should be noted that this feature implements true hands-free use. More generally, voice command may be used to generate an action. Furthermore an incoming call could first turn on voice recognition; otherwise voice recognition can be left off to save power.
- A list of exemplary actions which can be activated by voice recognition comprises read/send text; make/receive calls, read notifications, any internet searches as supported by any browsers, activating other phone apps, local settings for phone or watch (e.g. ringer off, mute on/off).
- For low power consumption, sensors are configured so that only the sensors and the operations necessary to detect the specific user interface actions are activated at a given state of the device. For example, an incoming call may be answered by the user speaking either “yes” or “no”, or alternatively either a horizontal or a vertical wave of the watch. In this case the microphone and audio input circuitry is activated, but the voice recognition engine may be limited to a small vocabulary of the two words only. The accelerometer may be activated to detect the hand wave, but the sampling rate may be kept very low as it is only required to distinguish between two different axes of motion.
- The following is an example list of parameters that can be adjusted to reduce power consumption:
-
- Accelerometer: sampling rate, resolution
- Gyroscope: sampling rate
- Magnetometer: sampling rate
- Microphone/audio input subsystem/voice recognition engine: sampling rate, resolution, vocabulary size
- IR proximity sensor: transaction (Tx) intensity, sampling rate, Rx resolution
- Touch sensor: sampling rate, resolution
- A set of specific settings of the above parameters would be associated with each state of the device, so that the device power consumption is optimized dynamically with the device functions.
- While the disclosure has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
