Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing forming an enclosed chamber. The housing has a top portion and a bottom portion. One or more sensors is provided within the chamber and configured to interface with a user to generate physiological data associated with the user. A set of electrodes is provided on the bottom portion of the housing. Each electrode in the set of electrodes is a single member having a corresponding inner electrode portion within the chamber and an outer electrode portion outside the housing. A set of magnets is provided on the bottom portion of the housing.
Claims37
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing forming an enclosed chamber, the housing having a top portion and a bottom portion;
- one or more sensors provided within the chamber and configured to interface with a user to generate physiological data associated with the user;
- a set of electrodes provided on the bottom portion of the housing, wherein each electrode in the set of electrodes is a single member having a corresponding inner electrode portion within the chamber and an outer electrode portion outside the housing;
- and
- a set of magnets provided on the bottom portion of the housing.
A patch housing for receiving an electronic device, comprising:
- a flat substrate having a first surface and a second surface with adhesive on at least one of the first or second surfaces, the substrate further including an opening;
- a set of electrodes included in the substrate;
- and
- a set of connectors provided on the first surface of the substrate, each connector in the set of connectors being configured to mechanically couple the electronic device to the substrate.
A latching mechanism for connecting a first object to a second object, the latching mechanism comprising:
- a groove provided along a surface of the first object, the groove including a notch, wherein the groove is configured to receive a connective end of the second object and the notch is configured to lock the connective end of the second object in place.
A method for installing a strap in an electronic device, comprising:
- engaging a connective end of the strap to a groove provided on a sidewall of the housing of the electronic device;
- laterally sliding the connective end of the strap along the groove to center the connective end within the groove;
- and
- pivoting the strap at the connective end such that a tab provided on the strap engages a notch provided within the groove, wherein engaging the tab to the notch locks the strap within the groove, preventing the strap from laterally sliding along the groove.
A system, comprising:
- an electronic device configurable in one of a first configuration or a second configuration, the electronic device including:
- one or more sensors provided within a housing and configured to interface with a user to generate physiological data associated with the user;
- a set of electrodes provided on an outer surface of the housing;
- and
- a set of magnets provided on the outer surface of the housing;
- wherein the first configuration includes the electronic device being coupled to a patch housing, the patch housing including:
- a flat substrate having a first surface and are second surface, with adhesive on the first and second surfaces, the substrate further including an opening;
- a set of patch electrodes included in the substrate configured to mechanically couple to the set of electrodes of the electronic device when in the first configuration;
- a set of connectors provided on the first surface of the substrate, each connector in the set of connectors being configured to mechanically couple the electronic device to the substrate when in the first configuration;
- and
- a case body, wherein the adhesive on the first surface of the substrate is configured to mechanically seal the case body, forming a cavity for the electronic device when received by the patch housing;
- and
- wherein the second configuration includes the electronic device being coupled to a strap using a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism including:
- a groove provided along the outer surface of the electronic device, the groove including a notch, wherein the groove is configured to receive a connective end of the strap and the notch is configured to lock the connective end of the strap in place.
