Abstract
A wrist and finger communication device (10) includes a strap (12), a communication module (14) connected with the strap (12) and a watch head (26). The communication module (14) includes a voice module (18) having a microphone (20), and a speaker (22) or a bone conduction actuator (24). The bone conduction actuator (24) may be provided on the communication module (14) or on a ring-shaped member (30) to be worn on the user's finger. The speaker (22) may be provided on the communication module (14) and extendible to a palm region of the user's hand cupped over the user's ear.
Claims20
A wrist communication device (10) comprising:
- (a) a strap (12) to be worn on a user's wrist;
- (b) a communication module (14) connected with the strap (12), the communication module (14) being located on a palm side of the user's wrist and comprising a plurality of communication components for receiving and transmitting data;
- (c) a voice module (18) provided on the communication module (14) and comprising a microphone (20);
- (d) a bone conduction actuator (24) being in communication with the communication module (14) for transmitting sound to the user's ear;
- (e) a display (28) provided on the communication module (14) for displaying information;
- (f) a vibrator (27) provided on the communication module (14) for producing a tactile vibration notification to the user;
- (g) a watch unit (26) detachably connected with the strap (12);
- and
- (h) a light source (25) provided on the watch unit (26) for producing a visual notification to the user.
A wrist communication device (10) comprising:
- (a) a strap (12) to be worn on a user's wrist;
- (b) a communication module (14) connected with the strap (12), the communication module (14) being located on a palm side of the user's wrist and comprising a plurality of communication components for receiving and transmitting data;
- (c) a voice module (18) provided on the communication module (14) and comprising a microphone (20);
