ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEM FOR WEARABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

Wearable electronic devices and methods for powering wearable electronic devices are provided. A wearable electronic device includes a communication transponder, a processor, at least one storage unit and a kinetic energy system. The communication transponder wirelessly communicates with a further electronic device over a communication channel. The processor controls the communication transponder such that information is passed between the wearable electronic device and the further electronic device according to a predetermined operation mode involving interaction of the wearable and further electronic devices. The kinetic energy system converts kinetic energy collected from motion of the wearable electronic device to electrical energy, and distributes the electrical energy among the at least one energy storage unit and one or more other electrical components of the wearable electronic device based on a charge state of the at least one energy storage unit and the predetermined operation mode of the wearable electronic device.
