Receiver wearable on user's wrist
First Claim
1. A receiver comprising:
- a first or wrist-wearable type device comprising radio receiving means for receiving radio waves, converting means for converting the radio signal received by said radio wave receiving means to receive data and for outputting the same, and radio transmitting means for converting the receive data outputted by said converting means to a radio signal to transmit the same; and
a second or ring-wearable type device comprising radio receiving means for receiving the radio signal transmitted by said radio transmitting means of said first device, and sound generating means for generating a sound based on the radio signal received by said radio receiving means.

Abstract
The present invention provides a radio receiver in which a first device worn on a user'"'"'s wrist receives a radio voice signal, converts the received radio voice signal to an infrared signal, and transmits the infrared signal to a second device worn on a user'"'"'s finger. The second device converts the received infrared signal to a voice signal, which is then output audibly as a corresponding sound. A microphone provided on a wristband receives voice and converts the same to a radio voice signal, which is then transmitted. Since the receiver has such arrangement, the receiver itself is reduced greatly in size and weight. The receiver is capable of receiving signals and making telephonic communication with others in a very natural style, which does not give an impression of strangeness to those around the receiver.
