In this time, FIG. 15 illustrates that it is larger and thicker than the actual size for ease of explanation, but the actual product is not limited thereto and can be formed to be smaller and thinner than the size illustrated therein.

(76) In this time, it is possible to increase the spacing distance between the divided magnetic sheets 290, thus preventing breakage of the divided magnetic sheet 290 upon transformation, but when the spacing distance therebetween increases, the shielding of the magnetic field cannot be normally performed, resulting in deterioration of antenna performance.

(77) Accordingly, the divided magnetic sheet 290 can have at least one side surface of both side surfaces adjacent to the other divided magnetic sheet 290 formed with inclined portions. In this time, the divided magnetic sheet 290 can be formed in a trapezoid shape in which the lower side has a length longer than the upper side in the vertical cut surface, and can be formed with an inclined portion having the spacing distance with the other divided magnetic sheet 290 decreased toward the base substrate 210.

(78) For example, that is, referring to FIG. 16, the divided magnetic sheet 290 has both side surfaces adjacent to the other divided magnetic sheet 290 formed with the inclined portions. In this time, the inclined portion is formed to have the inclination that the spacing distance between the divided magnetic sheet 290 and the other divided magnetic sheet 290 decreases toward the base substrate 210.

(79) For another example, referring to FIG. 17, the divided magnetic sheet 290 is formed with the inclined portion on one side surface adjacent to the other divided magnetic sheet 290. In this time, when the inclined portions are formed on different side surfaces of the divided magnetic sheets 290 and the side surfaces on which the inclined portions are not formed are adjacent to each other, breakage thereof is caused upon transformation, such that it is preferable that the divided magnetic sheets 290 have the inclined portion formed on the same one side surface thereof.

(80) Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, the divided magnetic sheet 290 can be configured to include an adhesive layer 292, a magnetic layer 294, and a protection layer 296.

(81) The adhesive layer 292 has one surface adhered to the base substrate 210. In this time, the adhesive layer 292 is composed of an adhesive sheet such as a double-sided tape.

(82) The magnetic layer 294 has one surface stacked on the other surface of the adhesive layer 292. That is, the magnetic layer 294 has one surface adhered to the other surface of the adhesive layer 292. In this time, the magnetic layer 294 is composed of a magnetic sheet such as a ferrite sheet and is formed to have an area narrower than the adhesive layer 292.

(83) The protection layer 296 is stacked on the other surface of the magnetic layer 294 to protect the magnetic layer 294. In this time, the protection layer 296 is formed to have an area narrower than the magnetic layer 294.

(84) In this time, as the adhesive layer 292, the magnetic layer 294, and the protection layer 296 are formed of flat plates having different areas and sequentially stacked, the divided magnetic sheet 290 has the inclined portion formed on at least one side surface of both side surfaces adjacent to the other divided magnetic sheet 290.

(85) Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, the adhesive layer 292, the magnetic layer 294, and the protection layer 296 can have inclination formed on at least one side surface of both side surfaces thereof. In this time, when the inclined portion is formed on only one side surface of the divided magnetic sheet 290, the adhesive layer 292, the magnetic layer 294, and the protection layer 296 have inclination formed on the same one side surfaces thereof.

(86) Meanwhile, it has been described in the above description that the divided magnetic sheet 290 is bonded to one surface of the base substrate 210, but when it can be formed to have a thickness of a certain level or more, it can be composed of a single ferrite sheet, or can be also composed of a flexible polymer sheet.

(87) Referring to FIG. 22, the ring type antenna module 200 of the above configuration is transformed from a planar shape into a ring shape, such that the first terminal part 230 and the fourth terminal part 270 (or the second terminal part 240 and the third terminal part 260) are coupled to each other.

(88) In this time, since the ring type antenna module 200 should be manufactured in various sizes according to the size of the ring type wearable device (e.g., the size and radius of the ring), the size of the ring type antenna module 200 is adjusted by adjusting the location where the first terminal part 230 (or the third terminal part 260) is coupled to the fourth terminal part 270 (or the second terminal part 240).

(89) For this purpose, it is preferable that the ring type antenna module 200 is formed so that the length of the terminal line constituting the second terminal part 240 and the fourth terminal part 270 is longer than that of the terminal line constituting the first terminal part 230 and the third terminal part 260.

(90) In addition, it has been described that the ring type antenna module 200 includes all of the first terminal part 230 to the fourth terminal part 270, but it is not limited thereto and can be configured to include only the first terminal part 230 and the fourth terminal part 270, or can be configured to include only the second terminal part 240 and the third terminal part 260. In this time, it is preferable that the ring type antenna module 200 is configured to include a pair of terminal parts formed on different surfaces of the base substrate 210.

(91) In the ring type antenna module 200, the corresponding portions are connected by soldering in a state where the first terminal part 230 (or the third terminal part 260) has been coupled to the fourth terminal part 270 (or the second terminal part 240) to manufacture the ring type antenna module 200 having the radiation pattern in a ring shape.

(92) Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 23 and 24, the ring type antenna module 200 can further include the first guide part 320, the second guide part 340, the third guide part 360, and the fourth guide part 380.

(93) The first guide part 320 is formed on one side portion of the first long side 216 of the base substrate 210. The first guide part 320 is formed of the same material as the base substrate 210, and is formed to be extended from one side portion of the first long side 216 of the base substrate 210 (i.e., toward the first short side 212) toward the outside. In this time, the first guide part 320 is formed with the first guide hole 322 for coupling to the jig for manufacture (not illustrated) that is used for coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape.

(94) The first guide part 320 is removed after coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape, and for this purpose, the plurality of first removal holes 324 for cutting the first guide part 320 can be formed on the portion connected to the base substrate 210. Herein, when the first guide part 320 can be removed from the base substrate 210, it is applicable other than the removal hole.

(95) The second guide part 340 is formed on one side portion of the second long side 218 of the base substrate 210. The second guide part 340 is formed of the same material as the base substrate 210, and is formed to be extended from one side portion of the second long side 218 of the base substrate 210 (i.e., toward the first short side 212) toward the outside. In this time, the second guide part 340 is formed with the second guide hole 342 for coupling to the jig for manufacture (not illustrated) that is used for coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape.

(96) The second guide part 340 is removed after coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape, and for this purpose, the plurality of second removal holes 344 for cutting the second guide part 340 can be formed on the portion connected to the base substrate 210. Herein, when the second guide part 340 can be removed from the base substrate 210, it is applicable other than the removal hole.

(97) The third guide part 360 is formed on the other side portion of the first long side 216 of the base substrate 210. The third guide part 360 is formed of the same material as the base substrate 210, and is formed to be extended from the other side portion of the first long side 216 of the base substrate 210 (i.e., toward the second short side 214) toward the outside. In this time, the third guide part 360 is formed with the plurality of third guide holes 362 for coupling to the jig for manufacture (not illustrated) that is used for coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape.

(98) The third guide part 360 is removed after coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape, and for this purpose, the plurality of third removal holes 364 for cutting the third guide part 360 can be formed on the portion connected to the base substrate 210. Herein, when the third guide part 360 can be removed from the base substrate 210, it is applicable other than the removal hole.

(99) The fourth guide part 380 is formed on the other side portion of the second long side 218 of the base substrate 210. The fourth guide part 380 is formed of the same material as the base substrate 210, and is formed to be extended from the other side portion of the second long side 218 of the base substrate 210 (i.e., toward the second short side 214) toward the outside. In this time, the fourth guide part 380 is formed with the plurality of fourth guide holes 382 for coupling to the jig for manufacture (not illustrated) that is used for coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape.

(100) The fourth guide part 380 is removed after coupling the ring type antenna module 200 in a ring shape, and for this purpose, the plurality of fourth removal holes 384 for cutting the fourth guide part 380 can be formed on the portion connected to the base substrate 210. Herein, when the fourth guide part 380 can be removed from the base substrate 210, it is applicable other than the removal hole.

(101) The ring type antenna module 200 of the above configuration is transformed from a planar shape into a ring shape by coupling the first terminal part 230 and the fourth terminal part 270 (or the second terminal part 240 and the third terminal part 260).

(102) In this time, since the ring type antenna module 200 should be manufactured in various sizes according to the size of the ring type wearable device (e.g., the size of the ring), the size of the ring type antenna module 200 is adjusted by adjusting the location where the first terminal part 230 (or the third terminal part 260) is coupled to the fourth terminal part 270 (or the second terminal part 240).

(103) A jig for manufacture for manufacturing the ring type antenna module in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(104) Referring to FIGS. 25 and 26, the jig for manufacture 400 for manufacturing the ring type antenna module 200 is configured to include a lower fixing plate 500, an upper fixing plate 600, and a separation fixing plate 700.

(105) The lower fixing plate 500 is formed in a flat plate shape, and fixes one surface of the ring type antenna module 200 located on the upper portion thereof. The lower fixing plate 500 is coupled to one end of the upper fixing plate 600 to form a hinge coupling member 520 so that the upper fixing plate 600 can rotate.

(106) For example, the lower fixing plate 500 is formed with the hinge coupling member 520 formed on a pin insertion hole 522 on one surface of a lower main body 510. After a pin insertion hole 650 of the upper fixing plate 600 is located to be the same line as the pin insertion hole 522 of the hinge coupling member 520, a coupling pin 800 is inserted therein to penetrate the hinge coupling member 520 and the pin insertion hole 650 of the upper fixing plate 600. The pin insertion hole 650 of the upper fixing plate 600 is formed to have a diameter larger than the pin insertion hole 522 of the hinge coupling member 520 and is coupled to the lower fixing plate 500 so that the upper fixing plate 600 can rotate around the coupling pin 800.

(107) As illustrated in FIG. 27, the lower fixing plate 500 can be formed with an insertion groove 540 in order to easily fix and locate the ring type antenna module 200. In this time, the insertion groove 540 is formed from one side portion of the lower fixing plate 500 to the other side portion thereof. The insertion groove 540 can be formed to have a width wider than the width (i.e., the width of the short side) of the ring type antenna module 200, and can be formed to have a depth equal to or greater than the thickness of the ring type antenna module 200.

(108) Herein, the insertion groove 540 can be also formed only on a part of the lower fixing plate 500, which is in contact with the upper fixing plate 600.

(109) The upper fixing plate 600 has one side coupled to the hinge coupling member 520 formed on the lower fixing plate 500. The upper fixing plate 600 rotates around one side coupled to the lower fixing plate 500. The upper fixing plate 600 rotates toward the lower fixing plate 500 in a state where the ring type antenna module 200 is located on the lower fixing plate 500 to fix the other surface of the ring type antenna module 200.

(110) For this purpose, as illustrated in FIG. 28, the upper fixing plate 600 is configured to include an upper main body 610; a stepped coupling part 620 to which a separation fixing plate 700 is coupled by forming a step of a predetermined height (e.g., the thickness of the separation fixing plate 700) on one end of the upper main body 610; a pair of fixing pins 630 formed on the stepped coupling part 620 and inserted into the first guide hole 322 to the fourth guide hole 382 of the ring type antenna module 200, and for fixing the ring type antenna module 200; and a first coupling member 640 for the coupling with the separation fixing plate 700.

(111) In this time, the first coupling member 640 can be any member at its convenience as long as it can maintain the coupled state with the separation fixing plate 700, such as unevenness or magnet.

(112) The separation fixing plate 700 fixes the ring type antenna module 200 coupled to the stepped coupling part 620 of the upper fixing plate 600. That is, the separation fixing plate 700 is coupled to the stepped coupling part 620 of the upper fixing plate 600 in a state where the guide holes of the ring type antenna module 200 are inserted into the fixing pins 630 of the upper fixing plate 600 to fix the ring type antenna module 200.

(113) For this purpose, as illustrated in FIG. 29, the separation fixing plate 700 is formed with a second coupling member 720 on the separation main body 710 in order to maintain the coupled state with the stepped coupling part 620, and is formed with an exposure hole 730 for exposing the terminal part of the ring type antenna module 200.

(114) Herein, as the guide holes are inserted into the fixing pins 630, the ring shape can be maintained by soldering the terminal portions in a state where the terminal parts of the ring type antenna module 200 are coupled to each other to form the ring shape. Accordingly, the exposed hole 730 exposes a part of the ring type antenna module 200 (i.e., the portion to which the terminal parts are coupled) so that the terminal part of the ring type antenna module 200 can be soldered.

(115) Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the ring type antenna module 200 using the jig for manufacture 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 32.

(116) As illustrated in FIG. 30, the ring type antenna module 200 in a planar shape is inserted into the insertion groove 540 in a state where the upper fixing plate 600 that the separation fixing plate 700 is separated rotates upwards. Thereafter, the upper fixing plate 600 rotates downwards to fix the ring type antenna module 200.

(117) As illustrated in FIG. 31, the first guide hole 322 and the second guide hole 342 of the ring type antenna module 200 are inserted into the fixing pins 630, and then the third guide hole 362 and the fourth guide hole 382 are inserted into the fixing pins 630.

(118) Of course, the third guide hole 362 and the fourth guide hole 382 of the ring type antenna module 200 can be inserted into the fixing pins 630, and then the first guide hole 322 and the second guide hole 342 can be inserted into the fixing pins 630.

(119) In this time, the ring type antenna module 200 can be separated from the fixing pin 630 by elasticity of the ring type antenna module 200 in a state where the guide holes of the ring type antenna module 200 are inserted into the fixing pins 630.

(120) Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 32, it is possible to couple the separation fixing plate 700 to the upper fixing plate 600 to fix the coupled portion of the ring type antenna module 200 on the upper portion thereof, thus preventing the ring type antenna module 200 from being separated therefrom.

(121) Thereafter, the terminal parts of the ring type antenna module 200 exposed through the exposure hole 730 of the separation fixing plate 700 are soldered to constitute a radiation pattern in a ring shape, and the above processes are performed in reverse order to separate the ring type antenna module 200 from the jig for manufacture 400.

(122) Finally, the guide part of the ring type antenna module 200 separated from the jig for manufacture 400 is removed to manufacture the ring type antenna module 200 in a final state (see FIG. 11).

(123) As described above, the jig for manufacture for manufacturing the ring type antenna module is configured to include the upper fixing plate formed with the fixing pin into which the guide hole formed on the guide part of the ring type antenna module is inserted and the separation fixing plate for supporting the ring type antenna module inserted into the fixing pin, thus easily transforming the base substrate in the planar shape into the ring shape, and easily changing the size of the ring type antenna module by adjusting the guide hole inserted into the fixing pin.

(124) In addition, the jig for manufacture for manufacturing the ring type antenna module is configured to include the upper fixing plate formed with the fixing pin into which the guide hole formed on the guide part of the ring type antenna module is inserted and the separation fixing plate for supporting the ring type antenna module inserted into the fixing pin, thus easily changing the size (radius) of the ring type antenna module and manufacturing it in an accurate size.

(125) As described above, although preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it is to be understood that they can be modified into various forms, and various modifications and changes thereof can be embodied by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
