Wristband-type handset and wristband-type alerting device
First Claim
1. A wearable informing device comprising:
- a storage operable to store previously a plurality of pieces of information data corresponding to a plurality of causes of an alert vibration;
a vibration source operable to vibrate to produce the alert vibration regardless of the cause thereof;
a near-field communicator operable to receive an instruction signal to identify one of the plurality of pieces of information data in the storage corresponding to specified one of the plurality of causes; and
a controller operable to select, according to the instruction signal received by the near-field communicator, a corresponding piece of information data stored in the storage, and to make information according to the selected corresponding piece of information data to notify the specific cause of the alert vibration, wherein the wearable informing device is operable to produce the alert vibration without information of the cause thereof in the frequency range arousing the sense of vibration according to the instruction signal received by the near-field communicator, and then to have a user wearing the wearable informing device be informed of a cause of the alert vibration based on the information data selected by the controller.

Abstract
Proposed is a bracelet-type transmission/reception device comprising: a cartilage conduction vibration source provided in a portion to be attached to a wrist; a speaker; a variable directional microphone; and a control unit which sets the directivity of the variable directional microphone to the back side of a hand when the speaker is used and sets the directivity of the variable directional microphone to the palm side of the hand when the cartilage conduction vibration source is used. The bracelet-type transmission/reception device is provided together with a display means for information relating to a transmission/reception method or a handling explanation medium or advertising medium having the information relating to the transmission/reception method. An example of a method for use thereof is to conduct the vibration of the cartilage conduction vibration source to a thumb and to bring the thumb into contact with a tragus in a state where the back of the hand faces forward. The cartilage conduction vibration source is also used as a vibration source of an incoming vibrator, and when the cartilage conduction vibration source vibrates for cartilage conduction, a vibrational component in a low-frequency range that induces a sense of vibration is cut. The cartilage conduction vibration source vibrates for notification by announcement voice data in a storage unit.
