Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Hands-free electronic devices and electronic functions that can be worn on the surface of the body in a biologically fit manner are described. The embodiments provide a convergence between electronic products, and biological, anatomical, and biomechanical aspects of the human body while providing hands-free and interchangeable wearable electronic apparatuses that can interact with human senses and physiology of a human body in a practical manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A system for holding an electronic product, the system comprising: a housing configured to contain the electronic product, the housing including a headphone receiver, the headphone receiver being secured to the housing, an attachment device secured to the housing and configured to mount and hold the housing with respect to a user; a retractable cable assembly positioned on the housing for connection only to the electronic product by an audio jack; and headphones including a connector for electrical connection to the headphone receiver with the headphones extending from the headphone receiver, the headphones including at least one ear bud attached to the connector by a wire, the attachment device having two arms connected to the housing, the arms being configured to hold the electronic product in front of the user at a distance from the eyes of the user for a visual display of the electronic product. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the two arms are elongated arms. 3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the two arms are configured to grab a headrest of a seat located in front of the user. 4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the two arms are flexible. 5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the two arms are rigid. 6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the two arms form a C-shape. 7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the two arms form a C-clamp. 8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the C-clamp includes a pressure mechanism for anchoring the housing to the headrest of the seat located in front of the user. 9. The system of claim 7 , wherein a free end of the two arms terminate at an opposed side, respectively, of the headrest. 10. The system of claim 4 , wherein the two arms are configured to wrap around opposed sides of the headrest. 11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the two arms include a plurality of interlocking pieces. 12. The system of claim 4 , wherein the two arms are configured to hang over a top edge of the headrest. 13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the two arms include a plurality of interlocking pieces. 14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is connected to the attachment device in one of a horizontal and a vertical orientation.
