Abstract
A wearable device may include: an analog watch unit that includes a time indicating unit that indicates time, and a drive unit that drives the time indicating unit; a touch screen that senses an input for adjusting the drive unit; and a control unit that controls the drive unit in response to the sensed input.
Claims19
A wearable device comprising:
- a main device including:
- an analog watch that includes a time indicator that indicates time;
- a driver that drives the time indicator according to a first control signal;
- a first processor electrically connected to the driver to transmit the first control signal to the driver;
- and
- a first connector;
- and
- a mounting device including:
- a touch screen that at least partially covers the time indicator and senses an input for adjusting the driver according to a second control signal;
- a second processor electrically connected to the touch screen to receive the input from the touch screen;
- and
- a second connector,
- wherein the first control signal is based on the input, and
- wherein the main device and the mounting device are configured to be separably coupled, such that:
- when the mounting device is separated from the main device, there is no electrical connection between the mounting device and the main device, and the mounting device is configured to be coupled to the main device, and
- when the mounting device is coupled to the main device, there is electrical connection to each other through the first connector connected to the second connector, and the mounting device is configured to be separated from the main device.
