LG Heart Rate Monitor Earphone model # FR74 and LG Fitness Band model # HL84-B
“LG Heart Rate Monitor Earphone,” model # FR74. The set is designed to be connected to a smart phone via Bluetooth technology and allows the wearer to remotely control some basic telephone and music playback functions through radio frequency, as well as monitor heart rate through the LG fitness application. The application is to be downloaded to the smart phone and works in conjunction with various third-party fitness applications. The pair of earphones with the medallion does not have time keeping, telephone, or music reproducing functions independent of the smart phone. The earphones are connected via a wire to the medallion which in turn transmits and receives data from the connected smart phone. The earphones receive music and voice via the smart phone through the medallion. The earphones also sense heart rate through sensors built into the back of each ear bud. The medallion acts as power on/off switch, a battery check, and a heart rate check, and transmits and receives data from the smart phone. It is designed to be clipped onto the waistline of the user. A remote control that consists of a set of control buttons is built into the wire. This button remotely controls the music played on the smart phone.
The second item is an electronic wrist band which your company markets as the “LG Fitness Band” model # HL84-B. It has a light-emitting diode (LED) screen that displays time, telephone call information, and basic telephone controls, Social Networking Service (SNS) notifications, heart rate information, and music playback controls of the smart phone. The wrist band is connected to the wearer’s smart phone and, independent of the smart phone, to the earphones via Bluetooth. The wrist band does not have telephone, music playback, or time keeping functions independent of the smart phone. The screen is activated either by touch or when the wearer turns his wrist upward to view the information on the screen. The wrist band detects the pulse rate of the wearer and thereby the number of steps that the wearer is taking, effectively functioning as a pedometer. Data for distance, speed, and calorie consumption is accumulated via the built-in accelerometer, as well as up and down movement via the built-in altimeter. The data is transmitted to the application on the smart phone to be calculated for display either on the smart phone or the wrist band.
The two items can work in conjunction with each other, but are packaged separately as imported and intended to be sold separately, despite being displayed together in retail stores. Thus, we will consider them as separate items to be classified as such. It is not necessary to use both items together to utilize the functions of each, with the exception of the wrist band not being able to display heart rate information without the earphones and the smart phone application.
