Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wearable electronic device includes an electronic device enclosure and a host. The electronic device enclosure includes a mounting portion defining a receiving hole. The mounting portion includes a clipping member movably received in the receiving hole. The host includes a host body and an earplug extending from the host body. The host body is rotatably attached to the mounting portion, the earplug is received in the receiving hole, and the clipping member is engaged with the earplug to prevent the earplug from disengaging from the receiving hole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A wearable electronic device comprising: an electronic device enclosure comprising a mounting portion, a receiving hole defined therein, the mounting portion comprising a clipping member movably received in the receiving hole; and a host comprising a host body and an earplug extending from the host body; wherein the host body is rotatably attached to the mounting portion, the earplug is received in the receiving hole, and the clipping member is engagable with the earplug to prevent the earplug from disengaging from the receiving hole. 2 . The wearable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion defines a securing slot communicating with the receiving hole, and the clipping member is moveably received in the securing slot. 3 . The wearable electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the host body comprises a control module, and the control module is configured to move the clipping member to extend out of the securing slot or back to the securing slot. 4 . The wearable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a charge device is located on the electronic device enclosure, and the charge device is configured to supply power for the host. 5 . The wearable electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the mounting portion further comprises a conductive socket coupled to the charge device, and the host body further comprises a conductive contact engaged with the conductive socket. 6 . The wearable electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the charge device is a universal serial bus (USB) port that is configured to be coupled to an electronic device. 7 . The wearable electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the wearable electronic device is a smart watch having a watch strap, and the USB port is located on an end of the watch strap. 8 . The wearable electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the host body further comprises a touch screen located on a top surface of the host body, the earplug extending from a bottom surface of the host body, and the touch screen is configured to show the information of a mobile electronic device that communicates with the host. 9 . The wearable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion defines two cutouts opposite to each other, and the host is detachable from the mounting portion by the two cutouts. 10 . A wearable electronic device comprising: an electronic device enclosure comprising a mounting portion; a conductive socket located on the mounting portion, and the mounting portion comprising a clipping member; and a host comprising a host body, a touching screen located on a top surface of the host body, and an earplug extending from a bottom surface of the host body and engaged with the clipping member; a conductive contact located on the host body; wherein the conductive contact is detachable engaged with the conductive socket, and the clipping member is moveable relative to the mounting portion to disengage from the earplug. 11 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the mounting portion defines a receiving hole, and the earplug is received in the receiving hole 12 . The wearable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting portion defines a securing slot communicating with the receiving hole, and the clipping member is moveably received in the securing slot. 13 . The wearable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the host body comprises a control module, and the control module is configured to move the clipping member to extend out of the securing slot or back to the securing slot. 14 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein a charge device is located on the electronic device enclosure, and the charge device is coupled to the conductive socket and is configured to supply power for the host. 15 . The wearable electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the charge device is a universal serial bus (USB) port that is configured to be coupled to an electronic device. 16 . The wearable electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the wearable electronic device is a smart watch having a watch strap, and the USB port is located on an end of the watch strap. 17 . The wearable electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the host body further comprises a touch screen located on a top surface of the host body, the earplug extending from a bottom surface of the host body, and the touch screen is configured to show the information of a mobile electronic device that communicates with the host. 18 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the mounting portion defines two cutouts opposite to each other, and the host is detachable from the mounting portion by the two cutouts.
