Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to an application entitled “Wrist Wearable Type Portable Terminal” filed in the Korean Intellectual property Office on Mar. 17, 2006 and assigned Serial No. 2006-24822, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1.Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a portable terminal such as a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) phone, a game phone, a chatting phone, a camera phone, an MP3 phone, a cellular phone, a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and a Hand Held Phone (HHP), and in particular, to a slim wrist wearable type portable terminal.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In general, a “portable terminal” refers to an electronic apparatus carried with a user to perform wireless communication. In terms of portability, designs of such portable terminals tend to be compact, slim, and lightweight, and also include multimedia availability for a wide variety of functions. Future portable terminals are expected to incorporate greater multi-functionality and multi-purpose utilization. Future portable terminals will also be more compact and lightweight and will be so modified to be suitable for various multimedia environments or Internet environments.
- Conventional portable terminals may be classified into various types according to their appearance. For example, conventional portable terminals may be classified as bar-type portable terminals, flip-type portable terminals, and folder-type portable terminals. The bar-type portable terminal has a single housing shaped like a bar. The flip-type portable terminal has a flip which is pivotably mounted to a bar-shaped housing by a hinge device. The folder-type portable terminal has a folder coupled to a single bar-shaped housing by a hinge device to allow the folder to be rotated in order to be folded towards or unfolded away from the housing.
- Further, portable terminals may be classified into neck wearable type portable terminals and wrist wearable type portable terminals according to the position in which a user puts on the portable terminal. The neck wearable type portable terminal is worn by a user around the neck using a string, while the wrist wearable type portable terminal is worn by a user around the wrist.
- Additionally, portable terminals may be further classified as rotation-type portable terminals and sliding-type portable terminals based upon the manner in which the portable terminals are opened or closed. In the rotation-type portable terminal, two housings are coupled to each other to allow one housing to rotate open or closed relative to the other while facing each other. In the sliding-type portable terminal, two housings are coupled to each other to allow one housing to slide along a longitudinal direction to open or close the sliding-type portable terminal. These variously classified portable terminals can be easily understood by those skilled in the art.
- The conventional portable terminal is generally carried by being held in a user's hand or being put into pockets of tops or bottoms or bags. For convenience in carrying, the portable terminal is worn in a specific position of a user's body, e.g., around a neck, on an ear, on a back head, or around a wrist. It is expected that wearing of the portable terminal on a specific position of a body will become common in use in the near future.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,459,890 filed by the present assignee discloses a watch type portable terminal that is worn around a wrist.
- However, in the conventional wrist wearable portable terminal, essential parts such as a data input device, a data output device, a microphone, a speaker, an antenna, and a battery pack have to be mounted in a limited space of a single main body, increasing the thickness or the entire size of the main body.
- In other words, a wrist wearable portable terminal having a thick main body is inconvenient for the user to wear on his/her wrist. Moreover, when the main body is thick or large, its exterior design is not attractive and a plurality of parts have to be mounted in a limited space on the main body. Even if the main body has a small size, inconvenience is caused in data input/output operations.
- Furthermore, the foregoing problems eventually hinder an optimal interface environment from being provided to the user.
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal, in which a first main body and a second main body that are spaced apart from each other are connected to a wristband, thereby reducing main body thickness when compared to a conventional portable terminal having a single main body.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal that is easy to wear around a wrist by providing a wristband made of an elastic material.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal that can be conveniently used through a structure in which an interfacing unit using a wireless communication means can be detached from a main body and can be replaced with another, and that is easy to use, especially in various modes.
- It is still further another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal, in which a data input device is detachable for one of convenient dialing and message transmission.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist wearable type portable terminal, in which a data input device can be easily detached.
- In order to achieve an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable terminal that is wearable on a user's body. The portable terminal includes a first main body including a first user interfacing unit, a second main body including a second user interfacing unit and being spaced apart from the first main body, and at least one wrist band for connecting the first main body and the second main body with each other to allow wearing on a user's wrist.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable terminal that is wearable on a user's body. The portable terminal includes a first main body including a first user interfacing unit, a second main body including a second user interfacing unit that is detachable from the first main body and facing the first main body, and at least one wrist band for connecting the first main body and the second main body with each other to allow wearing on a user's wrist.
