In some examples, the ASIC 462 includes an MCU/MPU. In some examples, the sensor package may include application information and programming configured to calculate a user's caloric expenditures, distance traveled, time slept, and quality of sleep.

The electronic sleeve 410 may have an outer surface 450 and an inner surface 452 connected by a first edge 454 and a second edge 456. In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 may be cylindrical shaped. In some examples, the electronic sleeve may be rectangular shaped to complement the shape of a wristband, watchband, or bracelet. In some examples, a portion of the electronic sleeve 410 may be made from flexible material to allow the electronic sleeve 410 to be used with a variety of shaped wristbands, watchbands, bracelets, etc. In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 may have a rigid portion formed of metal, plastic, or other rigid material. In some examples, the sleeve 410 may have a flexible portion. In some examples, the sleeve 410 is formed from rubber, flexible plastic, graphene, borophene, cloth, leather, elastic, or elastic like material.

The electronic sleeve 410 may differ from the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300 in that the sleeve 410 is configured to at least partially surround and be positioned adjacent to an existing bracelet, watchband, wristband, ring, ankle band, armband, leg band, or the like. In some examples the wristband may include a non-electronic watch (e.g. a watch without a processing element, although the watch may have a battery.) In some examples, the wristband is a non-electronic band or bracelet or a dumb band. In some examples, the wristband is an electronic watch. In some examples, the wristband is a smart watch, fitness tracker, activity tracker or connected device. In some examples, the sleeve 410 fits partially around a perimeter of a wristband. A user may slide the sleeve 410 onto a portion of a user item such as a bracelet, watchband, wristband, etc. to convert the item to an electronic wearable device. When coupled with the user item, the inner surface 452 of the electronic sleeve 410 is positioned adjacent to and may circumferentially surround the portion of the user item. The sleeve 410 may also be used when it is not installed around a wristband.

In some examples, the sleeve 410 has only a self-contained camera that is mechanically coupled but not electrically coupled to the sleeve 410. In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 supports multiple cameras.

In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 has a battery and coil located on an inside or within the sleeve. In some examples, the sleeve has a coil and a power management chip. The coil may be used for data transmission and/or receipt, and/or to transmit and/or receive wireless power.

In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 has a continuous width. In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 is configured to have an adjustable width, so that it may be used with multiple width wristbands, bracelets, watches, etc. In some examples, the electronic sleeve 410 may be releasably coupled to itself via a hook and loop type material, snaps, or other type of releasable coupling.

In some examples, the sleeve may have a gripping element configured to position the sleeve 410 at a specific location on a band. In some examples, the gripping element may be formed using elastic, hook and loop material, metal, plastic, rubber, magnetic, or adhesive material. In some examples, the gripping element may include a protrusion on the sleeve configured to releasable position the sleeve 410 on a band. In some examples, the band may have a corresponding indentation configured to align and position the sleeve 410. In some examples, the gripping element may be formed using an area with a surface having an increased coefficient of friction compared to the band. In some examples, the gripping element may be a mechanical coupling, such as a spring clip, magnet, adjustably strap, and/or elastic.

In some examples, the sleeve 410 may be worn on the arm of a user that is furthest away from the user's thorax side. In some examples, the sleeve 410 may be worn on the arm of a user that is closest to the user's thorax side. In some examples, the sleeve 410 may be worn on a band positioned on a side of a user's arm closest to the user's thorax and a watch face is on a side of a band furthest away from the thorax of the user, or vice versa.

In some examples, the sleeve 410 is configured to transmit data between the electronic wearable device 400 and another electronic device. In some examples, the sleeve 410 is configured to transmit data to and from a user's smart phone, such as indicating a phone call, an alarm, email, etc.

FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a first view of another example of an electronic wearable device assembly 500 in the form of a wristband 510 and camera assembly 112 arranged in accordance with examples described herein. In some examples, the electronic wearable device assembly 500 is similar to the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400 of FIGS. 1-4. For example, the electronic wearable device 500 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by any of the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400 of FIGS. 1-4. In some examples, the camera assembly may be an electronic wearable device. The wristband 510 may include or be coupled with a camera assembly 512 having a camera 513, a battery 520, a coupling feature 530, and a screen 560. The camera assembly 512 may also include a wireless charging coil 570, a camera board 572, a camera module 511, and a housing 574 with at least one protrusion 575.

The coupling feature 530 may include a clip 576 configured to adjustably couple the camera assembly 512 with the wristband 510. In some examples the wristband may include a non-electronic watch (e.g. a watch without a processing element, although the watch may have a battery.) In some examples, the wristband is a non-electronic band or bracelet or a dumb band. In some examples, the wristband is an electronic watch. In some examples, the wristband is a smart watch, fitness tracker, activity tracker or connected device. In some examples, the camera assembly 512 positioned adjacent an outer surface 550 of the wristband 510, and the wristband clip 576 is positioned on a first edge 554 and a second edge 556 of the wristband 510. In some examples, the wristband clip 576 extends across a width of the wristband 510, but clips or couples the camera assembly 512. with the wristband 510. For example, the wristband clip 576 is positioned to extend from a portion of the outer surface 550, across the first edge 554, across the width of the inner surface 552, across a second edge 556, and then end at an opposite side of the outer surface 550. In some examples, the clip 576 engages with the protrusion 575 that extends from the housing 574. In some examples, the wristband clip 576 couples to the camera assembly 512 in a manner that compresses the wristband 510 to maintain the position of the camera assembly 512 with respect to the wristband 510.

In some examples, the coupling feature 530 including the clip 576 may allow the camera assembly 512 to be adjustably coupled and then removed from a first wristband, watchband, bracelet, etc., and then adjustably coupled to a different wristband, watchband, bracelet, etc. In some examples, the coupling feature has an elastic member. In some examples, the coupling feature has an adjustable strap. In some examples, the coupling feature 530 may also include a magnetic assembly to help align and/or couple the camera assembly 512 and/or the clip 576 and/or the band 510. The magnet may be positioned on or within the housing 574 and may have a corresponding protrusion or indentation configured to adjustably couple with the band 510 and/or the clip 576. The clip 576 may also have a magnet positioned on a surface or within the clip 576 and may have a corresponding a protrusion or indentation to adjustably couple with the camera 512 and/or the band 510. The band 510 may also have a magnet positioned on a surface or within the band 510 and may have a corresponding a protrusion or indentation and may adjustably couple with the clip 576 or the camera 513 or the camera assembly 512. The coupling feature 530 may also allow for the camera 513 to be rotated or adjusted with respect to the band 510 and/or the clip 576. This may allow the camera to be positioned at a variety of photographic objects while on a wristband worn by a user. The user may extend their arm towards a desired photographic object and align and engage the camera and capture an image. In other examples, the user may extend their arm away from them while aiming the camera towards themselves and engage the camera 513 to capture a self-portrait, or a selfie. FIGS. 6-11B may describe additional features of coupling features similar to coupling feature 530.

In the example of FIG. 5, the camera assembly is provided in a wedge form factor.

This may allow the camera 513 to be aimed in a particular direction (e.g., in front of the user) when the user performs a particular gesture. For example, a user may wear the wristband 510 on their left forearm (e.g., wrist). When the user crosses their forearm in front of their body such that their forearm is parallel with the ground when the user is standing and extends from one side of their body to the other, the camera 513 may be pointed in front of the user, so the user may understand that they may capture an image that is in front of them. The screen 560 may in that position also be pointed toward a user's field of view, such that the user may easily review an image on the screen 560 prior to capturing a picture with the camera 513. Any number of activation techniques may be used to capture a picture, including by pressing one or more buttons which may be provided on the camera assembly, or providing a signal (e.g., wired or wireless) to the camera assembly to initiate capture of a picture. Videos may captured by the camera additionally or instead in some examples.

In some examples, the electronic wearable device 500 may be similar to the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400 of FIGS. 1-4. The electronic wearable device 500 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by any of the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400 of FIGS. 1-4. The electronic device may include a camera assembly having a camera and a memory storage, a battery, a level indicator, a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection feature, an operational LED, a screen, and a communication or comms component having a speaker and a microphone. In some examples, the device may have an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a sensor package. In some examples, the sensor package may include a variety of sensors such as individual sensor or combination of an accelerometer, acoustic sensor, air pressure sensor, air quality sensor, altimeter, bio sensor. CO sensor, CO2 sensor, electro-mechanical sensor, an EMG sensor, GPS sensor, gyroscope, humidity sensor, infrared sensor, light sensor, mechanical sensor, micro-gyroscope, odor sensor, oxygen sensor, pedometer, pressure sensor, pulse rate sensor, radiation sensor, spectrometer, sweat sensor, temperature sensor, tilt switch, UV sensor, a sensor capable of measuring a base solution, neutral solution, or acidic solution, and/or other sensors. In some examples, the ASIC 462 includes an MCU/MPU. In some examples, the sensor package may include application information and programming configured to calculate a user's caloric expenditures, distance traveled, time slept, and/or quality of sleep.

FIG. 6 is a schematic, exploded illustration of a first view of an example of a camera coupling feature 630 arranged in accordance with examples described herein. In some examples, the coupling feature 630 is similar to the coupling features 130, 230, 330, 430, 530 of FIGS. 1-5. For example, the camera coupling feature 630 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by any of the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 of FIGS. 1-5. In some examples, the camera assembly may be considered the electronic wearable device. The coupling feature 630 may adjustably couple a camera assembly 612 to a watch 610 or other type of band. In some examples the band may include a non-electronic watch (e.g. a watch without a processing element, although the watch may have a battery.) In some examples, the band is a non-electronic band or bracelet or a dumb band. In some examples, the band is an electronic watch. In some examples, the band is a smart watch, fitness tracker, activity tracker or connected device. The coupling feature 630 may include a base plate 680 configured to be coupled to a band 611 of the watch 610. A magnet 682 may be positioned between the base plate 680 and the camera assembly 612 to adjustably couple the camera assembly 612 to the band 611 of the watch 610. In some examples, the magnet 682 may be attached to the base plate 680, with a portion of the camera assembly 612 being manufactured with a magnetic or magnetically conductive material that allows the camera assembly 612 to be magnetically attracted to the magnet 682. In other examples, the magnet 682 may be attached to the camera assembly 612, and the base plate 680 may be manufactured with a magnetic or magnetically conductive material which allows the base plate 680 to be magnetically attracted to the magnet 682.

In some examples, the magnet 682 is coupled to a bottom portion of the camera assembly 612. The magnet may extend away from the bottom portion, forming a protrusion. In some examples, a complementary indentation or depression is formed within the base plate 680 and the protrusion of the magnet 682 may be positioned at least partially within the depression when the camera 612 is coupled to the base plate 680. In some examples, the depression of the base plate 680 is formed with a magnet, surrounded by a magnet of formed using a magnetically conductive material.

The coupling feature 630 may also allow the camera assembly 612 to clip, snap, or adjustably engage with the base plate 680. The position of the camera assembly 612 may allow a user to still view the watch face of the watch 610. In some examples, the base plate 680 is integrally formed into the band 611.

In some examples, the camera may be used to take a selfie. For example, the. watch is placed on user's right wrist, the user sticks their right arm straight out to their side; the user bends their right elbow 90 degrees; they move the bent arm back until watch and camera are aligned with their face; and they take a selfie. The process may be modified if the watch is worn on a user's left wrist.

In some examples, the camera assembly 612 may be removed and rotated with respect to the base plate 680 so that the camera is aligned with a different aspect of the watch. This may allow a user to wear the watch on a different wrist and still be configured to capture images of desired photographic objects. In some examples, the base plate 680 may be moved and/or rotated with respect to the band 611 to provide for additional adjustment of the camera 612 location and alignment with various photographic objects. Moving the base plate may be accomplished through mechanical sliding about the band, or alignment with features of the band such as adjustable snapping or clipping, adhesive, hook and loop fasteners, magnetic attraction and the like.

In some examples, the coupling assembly 630 may be similar to the coupling assemblies of the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 of FIGS. 1-5. For example, the coupling assembly 630 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, and/or 500 of FIGS. 1-5. In some examples, the camera assembly may be an electronic wearable device. The electronic device may include a camera assembly having a camera and a memory storage, a battery, a level indicator, a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection feature, an operational LED, a screen, and a communication or COMMS component having a speaker and a microphone. In some examples, the device may have an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a sensor package. In some examples, the sensor package may include a variety of sensors such as individual sensor or combination of an accelerometer, acoustic sensor, air pressure sensor, air quality sensor, altimeter, bio sensor, CO sensor, CO2 sensor, electro-mechanical sensor, an EMG sensor. GPS sensor, gyroscope, humidity sensor, infrared sensor, light sensor, mechanical sensor, micro-gyroscope, odor sensor, oxygen sensor, pedometer, pressure sensor, pulse rate sensor, radiation sensor, spectrometer, sweat sensor, temperature sensor, tilt switch, UV sensor, a sensor capable of measuring a base solution, neutral solution, or acidic solution, and/or other sensors. In some examples, the ASIC 462 includes an MCU/MPU. In some examples, the sensor package may include application information and programming configured to calculate a user's caloric expenditures, distance traveled, time slept, and quality of sleep.

FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of an example of another camera assembly coupling feature 730 arranged in accordance with examples described herein. In some examples, the coupling feature 730 may be similar to the coupling assemblies of the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 of FIGS. 1-5 and the coupling assembly 630 of FIG. 6. For example, the coupling assembly 730 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, and/or 500 of FIGS. 1-5 and the coupling feature 630 of FIG. 6. In some examples, the camera assembly may be an electronic wearable device. In some examples, the camera coupling feature 730 may couple a camera 713 with a base plate 780 of a wristband, watchband, bracelet, ring, etc. In some examples the wristband may include a non-electronic watch (e.g. a watch without a processing element, although the watch may have a battery.) In some examples, the wristband is a non-electronic band or bracelet or a dumb band. In some examples, the wristband is an electronic watch. In some examples, the wristband is a smart watch, fitness tracker, activity tracker or connected device. The camera 713 may include a main body 789, a base coupling member 781, an aperture 785, and a magnet 782. In some examples, the base coupling member 781 extends as a protrusion away from the main body 789. In some examples, the base coupling member 781 of the camera 713 is shaped as an “I”, with a narrow region positioned between two wider regions. In some examples, the base coupling member 781 is a rail. The aperture 785 may be positioned in the middle of the main body 789 and extend through a portion of the length of the main body 789, and may be configured with other components of the camera assembly to capture images.

The base plate 780 may have a main body 791, with a first surface 779 opposite a second surface 777, a member 787, a channel 793, and a magnet 783. In some examples, the channel 793 is adjacent the first surface 779 and extends into the main body 791, towards the second surface 777.

The member 787 of the base plate 780 may be formed as a protrusion that extends away from the second surface 777 and the main body 791, opposite the channel 793.

The base coupling member 781 of the camera 713 may be configured to slide, fit, snap, or adjustably couple with the channel 793 of the base plate 780. In some examples, the channel 793 may be generally rectangular shaped to complement the shape of the base coupling member 781 of the camera 713. In some examples, the channel 793 may be shaped to allow for a bottom, wider portion of the base coupling member 781 to slide within the channel 793. In some examples, the channel 793 is configured as a track.

In some examples, the magnet 782 may be positioned adjacent to or installed within the main body 789 of the camera 713. In some examples, the base plate magnet 783 may be installed within or adjacent to the main body 791 of the base plate 780 or within the channel 793 of the base plate 780. The camera magnet 782 may attract the base plate magnet 783 to help adjustably couple the base plate 780 and camera 713 together, forming the coupling feature 730.

The member 787 of the base plate 780 may be configured to rotatably couple the base plate 780 with the band, wristband, watchband, bracelet, or ring of an associated electronic wearable device. In some examples, the member 787 is adjustably and rotatably coupled to a receiving member of the band, wristband, watchband, bracelet, or ring of an associated electronic wearable device. The member 787 may allow for the camera 713 to be adjustably rotated with respect the wearable device. In some examples, the member 787 slidably couples with the receiving member and allows for adjustable rotation. In some examples, the member 787 snaps together with the receiving member and allows for adjustable rotation.

In some examples, the member 787 is magnetically ed with the receiving member and allows for adjustable rotation.

The camera 813 may also include a sight 895 positioned on a surface of a main body 889 of the camera 813. In some examples, the sight 895 is aligned with an aperture 885 to allow a user to view a photographic object through the sight 895 to properly align the aperture 885 to capture an image of the photographic object. In some examples, the sight 895 may be a channel, with an opening directed away from the main body 889. In some examples, the sight 895 may be an aperture or indentation extending through a portion of the main body 889.

In some examples, a base coupling member 881 of the camera 813 may be formed as a rectangle, as opposed to the “I” shaped of the base coupling member 781 of FIG. 7. A channel 893 of the base plate 880 may be formed to complement the shape of the base coupling member 881 so that the camera 813 and base plate 880 may be adjustably coupled together. In some examples, the coupling member 881 slides within or adjacent to the channel 893 of the base plate 880.

FIG. 9 is a schematic illustration of another example of a portion of a camera coupling feature 930 arranged in accordance with examples described herein.

In some examples, the camera assembly may be an electronic wearable device. For example, the coupling assembly 930 may in some examples be used to implement and/or may be implemented by the electronic wearable device assemblies 100, 200, 300, 400, and/or 500 of FIGS. 1-5 and the coupling features 630, 730, 830 of FIGS. 6-8. A camera 913 may have a base coupling feature 981 that helps form the camera coupling feature 930. In some examples, the camera coupling feature 930 is configured to couple a camera 913 to a base plate of a band, watchband, wristband, bracelet, or ring, such as an item similar to the wristband 110 of FIG. 1, the ring 210 of FIG. 2, the watch 310 of FIG. 3, the electronic sleeve 410 of FIG. 4, the wristband 510 of FIG. 5, and the watch 610 of FIG. 6. In some examples, the base coupling feature 981 may have at least one protrusion extending away from the main body 989 of the camera 913 and configured to align or mate with a feature in the base plate, such as a channel, aperture, indentation, recessed area, etc. In some examples, the base coupling feature 981 may be an indentation or channel formed in the main body 989 of the camera 913 and configured to align or mate with a raised or protruding feature in the base plate.

In some examples, the coupling feature 981 includes a spring loaded element, such as a pin or bearing, configured to compress and expand, thereby adjustably engaging with features of the camera and the wristband In some examples, the camera 913 may be configured to utilize a spring loaded element such that the camera may be stored in a storage position wherein the spring loaded element is compressed and the camera is not positioned or configured for image capture, and in a use positon where the spring loaded element is expanded and the camera is positioned or configured for image capture.

FIG. 10 is a schematic illustration of another view of the camera coupling feature 530 of FIG. 5 arranged in accordance with examples described herein. In some examples, the camera assembly 512. may include the camera 513 having the camera module 511 with a horizontal aspect 1099 and a vertical aspect 1098, the camera board 572, the display or screen 560, the housing 574, the wireless charging coil 570, and the battery 520. The camera assembly 512 may be coupled to the wristband band clip 576. The wristband clip may form part of the coupling feature 530 that couples the camera assembly 512 to the wristband 510,

In some examples, the camera assembly 512 may have a wedge 1003 having a top surface 1005 and a bottom surface 1007. The top surface 1005 of the wedge 1003 may support the screen 560 at an angle 1001 above the camera board 572. In some examples, the camera board 572 and camera module 511 may be generally planar with each other and planar with the wristband clip 576 and the horizontal aspect 1099 of the camera module 511. The angle 1001 of the wedge 1003 may allow for the screen 560 to be angled with respect to the horizontal aspect 1099 of the camera module 511, which may be configured to align with the desired photographic object. The resulting angled screen 560 may make it easier for a user to align the camera module 511 with the desired photographic object, while using the screen 560 as a viewfinder to understand the alignment of the camera module 511 with the photographic object and adjust the position of the camera assembly 512 accordingly. In some examples, the angle 1001 is acute. In some examples, the angle 1001 is generally in a range between about 10 and 80 degrees, In some examples, the angle 1001 is generally in a range between about 10 and 30 degrees.

A camera assembly 1212 and a wristband clip 1276 are similar to the camera assembly 512 and wristband clip 576 of FIG. 5. FIG. 12 also shows a line of sight 1202 of the camera assembly 1212, as positioned on a strap 1211 of the watch 1210. An acute angle 1201 is formed between a plane traveling through a display or screen 1260 and the line of sight 1202. The line of sight 1202 may travel through a camera module (similar to the camera module 511 of FIG. 10) to capture an image aligned with the line of sight 1202. The angle 1201 may allow for the screen 1260 to be elevated at an angle 1201 towards a user. This may make it easier for a user to align the camera assembly 1212 with a desired photographic object while still using the screen 1260 as a viewfinder.

In some examples, an electronic wearable device and/or coupling feature may have a combination of features from the devices shown in FIGS. 1-12. The camera assemblies of FIGS. 1-12 may each be configured to capture high definition (HD) video with audio. The camera assemblies of FIGS. 1-12 may be each configured to capture high definition (HD) photos.
