The present disclosure relates to an intelligent product, and more particularly, to a portable device and a portable device assembly.
At present, some intelligent wearable products with ultraviolet (UV) detection function can provide users with reminders or suggestions, to protect users against suntan or sunburn in outdoor activities. Different persons have different skin conditions, the skin condition of one person may change now and then within a day, so the user may input his skin condition inaccurately during initial setting based on his self judgment on his skin condition.

As shown in
The wearable frame is provided with:
Optionally, in the first status, the wearable frame is in a ring shape, and in the second status, the wearable frame is in a clip shape. For example, in the first status, the wearable frame forms a wristband for the user to wear, and in the second status, the wearable frame forms a hair clip for the user to wear on hair. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the portable device can have a variety of forms including a ring shape, a clip shape, or the like, and can detect the physiological status information of the user and the external environment information in real time, so as to combine external environment factors with individual physiological status of the user to give appropriate suggestions to the user more accurately and comprehensively.
In order to give appropriate suggestions to the user more accurately and comprehensively, the specific structure of the physiological status information collection unit may have a variety of forms, and can collect physiological status information of various body parts of the user, where various body parts can be set according to actual requirements.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the physiological status information collection unit includes: a bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) sensor 11 used to obtain biological tissue status information of skin or hair.
Regarding the detection on the physiological status of the user, intracellular and extracellular liquid impedances can be detected by configuring the BIA sensor, so as to obtain the biological tissue status information. Generally, a tiny alternating current or voltage signal is applied to a test object by means of a measuring electrode arranged on a body surface, and with respect to different application purposes, relational biological tissue status information can be obtained by detecting corresponding impedance and changing of the corresponding impedance. In the case that the user does not wear a hat, the wearable frame of the portable device can be set in the hair clip shape and clipped on the hair as a hair clip, and a corresponding mode is set into a hair clip mode; here, real-time moisture change of the hair can be obtained through the BIA sensor 11. In the case that the wearable frame of the portable device is set in a wristband shape, a corresponding mode is set into a wristband mode; here, condition of the skin such as water-oil balancing condition of the skin can be obtained through the BIA sensor 11. Furthermore, in order to detect condition of other parts such as face condition, the BIA sensor can be arranged in contact with skin of the face.
Optionally, the physiological status information collection unit includes: a first temperature sensor 12 used to obtain a temperature of the skin or hair.
In the case that the wearable frame is in the first status, the portable device can be worn on a hand of the user in the wristband shape; here, the temperature of the skin of the user can be detected by the first temperature sensor 12.
In the case that the wearable frame is in the second status, the portable device can be worn on the hair of the user in the hair clip shape; here, the temperature of the hair of the user can be detected by the first temperature sensor 12.
Optionally, the physiological status information collection unit includes: a potential of hydrogen (pH) sensor 13 used to obtain a pH value of the skin or hair.
A pH value of a neutral skin ranges from 5 to 5.6, a pH value of a dry skin ranges from 4.5 to 5, a pH value of an oily skin ranges from 5.6 to 6.6, and the hair is in a best health status when a pH value of the hair ranges from 4.5 to 5.5. By detecting the pH value, the user may better understand his condition and may determine whether the cosmetic and shampoo he uses currently are suitable for him.
Optionally, the physiological status information collection unit includes: a camera having an enlarging function, used to obtain information about the skin or the hair in an enlarging status.
By adding the camera having the enlarging function, the wearable frame when being in the second status can form a hair clip for the user to wear on the hair, and the user can turn on the camera to observe hair condition such as condition of the hair cuticle; and the wearable frame when being in the first status can form a wristband for the user to wear, and the user can observe the condition of his skin in the enlarging status through the camera during skin detection.
Optionally, the user may select whether the camera is to be turned on or not according to actual requirements, and the camera can be only turned on in the case that the user selects to turn on the camera.
It should be noted that it is described above exemplarily that the wearable frame has the wristband shape and the hair clip. In practical application, the wearable frame can be worn on any body part of the user in a ring shape to collect the physiological status information of the skin of the body part of the user, and can be changed from the ring shape to any clip shape to collect the physiological status information of the hair of the user. The ring shape is not limited to the wristband, and the clip shape is not limited to the hair clip.
Optionally, the environment information collection unit includes at least one of the following: an ultraviolet sensor 21 used to detect an ultraviolet intensity, an air quality sensor 22 used to detect an air quality, a second temperature sensor 23 used to detect a temperature of the external environment, and a humidity sensor 24 used to detect a humidity of the external environment.
It should be noted that the environment information collection unit may also include a sensor for detecting other environmental factor, which may be set according to actual requirements.
Optionally, the communication unit is further used to receive a health suggestion returned from the external terminal; and the portable device further includes: an informing unit which is arranged on the wearable frame and used to inform the user of the health suggestion returned from the external terminal.
Further, the informing unit includes: a loudspeaker, which is used to report the health suggestion to the user through a voice prompt, or a display screen, which is used to display the health suggestion to the user.
The portable device acquires data of the external environment and the individual physiological status of the user in real time through the physiological status information collection unit and the environment information collection unit, and then uploads the data to the external terminal (such as a cloud processor) for analysis and storage, and the communication unit receives an suggestion which is fed back by the external terminal to the user and is suitable for the environment in which the user is located. For instance, in the case of sun exposure, the user may be prompted whether to go to a cool place to prevent sunstroke or whether to apply some spray to his hair for protection based on combination of an ultraviolet amount received by the hair detected by the ultraviolet sensor, a temperature of the hair collected by the first temperature sensor 12, a moisture content of the hair collected by the BIA sensor 11, and the pH value of the hair collected by the pH sensor 13. Meanwhile, the longer the user uses the portable device, the more the user data stored in the cloud processor; in this way, a suggestion can be given to the user more quickly and accurately, and even a suggestion can be given in advance by predicting a user demand. The suggestion suitable for the user can be reported to the user through the loudspeaker or displayed to the user through the display screen.
