Abstract

A modular telecommunication and PDA device attached by a strap to the forearm with a modular, exchangeable display-operating unit (1) which sits on the wrist and has a pressure sensitive display allowing for handwriting recognition and keys for operation and interaction between the modules (4) as well as a protective cover with an additional display (12) which can be unfolded and tripled in size (multi-screen) (12.1) and also has a digital camera lens (16) and is attached to the module carrier (3) by way of the spring and rotational parts system (2) which is always allow for enough force facilitating coordinated motion for turning the display-operating unit with the fist and hand joint, i.e. the palm. Various handheld devices - cellular phones, PDA, GPS, digital cameras, bar-code scanners, batteries, and other mobile and handheld devices and those devices which are yet to be created if the possibility and appropriateness of their use in this manner is shown in the manner described in this patent are in the form of modules (4) via the docks (15) attached to the model carrier (3).

Claims

-5- Patent Claims
1. Modular telecommunication and PDA device is attached to the forearm by means of a modular interchangeable display-operating unit on the wrist, wherein the display operating unit (1) is attached to the wrist.
2. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein said display-operating unit (1) is connected to a module carrier (3) by means of the system of springs and rotational parts (2).
3. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein various handheld devices, namely cellular phones, PDAs, GPSes, digital cameras, bar code scanners, batteries, and other mobile and handheld devices, as well as those devices which will be created if their use is applicable in the manner described, are inserted into appropriate docks (15) in the form of modules (4).
4. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein on said module carrier (3) are docs (15).
5. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein said module carrier (3) is attached to the forearm by a wider wrist band, thus giving better weight distribution along the area of the band.
6. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein said display (9) is pressure-sensitive, i.e. there is a possibility of software-assisted handwriting recognition.
7. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein a speaker (8) is on said display-operating unit (1), which enables hands-free or regular mode of telephone communication.
8. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 having keys (10) on said display-operating unit (1), in order to manage with said connected modules (4).
9. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein the digital camera lens (16) is attached to said display-operating unit (1), so the former can be turned in all directions and angles. -6-
10. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein an infra-red (IR) port (11) is on said display-operating unit (1).
11. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein a protective cover with an additional display (12) is on said display-operating unit (1).
12. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein a protective cover is on said display-operating unit (1) with an additional display (12) which can be unfolded thus tripling the size of the display (multi-screen or video wall (12.1)).
13. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein a protective cover is on said display-operating unit (1) with an additional display (12) to which the digital camera lens (16) is attached, and can be turned in all directions and angles.
14. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein a bar-code scanner (14) is on said display-operating unit (1).
15. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 1 wherein the system of springs and rotational parts (2) provides enough force as to enable coordinated movement of said display-operating unit (1) and the hand (i.e. fist, wrist and palm).
16. Modular telecommunication and PDA device of claim 3 having said docks (15) on the bay standardized, in order to assure compatibility with various modules (4) made by different producers.
17. Modular telecommunication and PDA device according to claims 1, 2 and 6-14, wherein said display-operating unit (1) is exchangeable i.e. the principle of its use is modular
- it can be detached and replaced by a second display-operating unit.
18. Modular telecommunication and PDA device according to claims 1, 2, 6-14, and 17, wherein said display-operating unit (1) can be folded back being set above said module carrier.
