Abstract

Provided is an electronic device, including a housing, a fixing hole, a platform and a sensor. The fixing hole is located at the housing and configured to detachably fix an identification element. The platform extends outward from the lower edge of the fixing hole. The sensor is disposed on the platform and configured to communicate with the identification element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a fixing hole, located on the housing and configured to detachably fix an identification element;
a platform, extending outward from a lower edge of the fixing hole; and
a sensor, disposed on an upper surface of the platform and configured to communicate with the identification element, wherein
the housing comprises a groove,
the platform is located at the bottom of the groove,
a shape of the groove is corresponding to that of the identification element, and
the sensor is partially extended into the fixing hole.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a coil.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing hole is a magnetic fixing hole.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a groove, the platform is located at the bottom of the groove, and the fixing hole is located at a side wall of the groove.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , further comprising a light emitting component, disposed on the side wall of the grooves.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a groove, the platform is located at a side wall of the groove, and the fixing hole is located at a bottom surface of the groove.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the platform is trapezoidal.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a near field communication component.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the platform is made of a rough material.

10. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a fixing hole, located on the housing and configured to detachably fix an identification element;
a platform, extending outward from a lower edge of the fixing hole; and
a sensor, disposed on an upper surface of the platform and configured to communicate with the identification element,
wherein a shape of the platform is corresponding to that of the identification element, and
wherein the sensor is partially extended into the fixing hole.

11. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a fixing hole, located on the housing and configured to detachably fix an identification element;
a platform, extending outward from a lower edge of the fixing hole; and
a sensor, disposed on an upper surface of the platform and configured to communicate with the identification element,
wherein the housing comprises a groove,
wherein the platform is located at the bottom of the groove,
wherein a shape of the groove is corresponding to that of the identification element,
wherein the fixing hole is a magnetic fixing hole, and
wherein the fixing hole is configured to detachably fix the identification element by magnetic attraction.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a fixing hole, located on the housing and configured to detachably fix an identification element;
a platform, extending outward from a lower edge of the fixing hole; and
a sensor, disposed on an upper surface of the platform and configured to communicate with the identification element,
wherein the housing comprises a groove,
wherein the platform is located at the bottom of the groove,
wherein a shape of the groove is corresponding to that of the identification element,
wherein the identification element comprises a protruding part for inserting into the fixing hole,
wherein the fixing hole has an iron part disposed therein, and
wherein the protruding part has a magnet disposed at a front edge thereof for use in combination with the iron part.
