Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible portable electronic device capable of generating information includes a flexible body configured to be attached to a part of a user's body, the flexible body including a lower flexible band that gives the flexible portable electronic device thickness and mechanical resistance and an upper flexible band fixed to the lower flexible band, and an electronic assembly to generate information, the electronic assembly being housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band. At least two successive bellows each including at least one fold are separated from each other by a transverse reinforcing element at one location on a length of the lower flexible band. The reinforcing element extends transversely to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body and is secured to the lower flexible band. The bellows are configured to compress and relax along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A flexible portable electronic device capable of generating an item of information, the flexible portable electronic device comprises: a flexible body configured to be attached to a part of a user's body, wherein the flexible body includes a lower flexible band that gives the flexible portable electronic device thickness and mechanical resistance, and an upper flexible band fixed to the lower flexible band; and an electronic assembly to generate information, wherein the electronic assembly to generate information is housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band of the flexible body, wherein at least two successive bellows each including at least one fold are separated from each other by a transverse reinforcing element at one location on a length of the lower flexible band, wherein the reinforcing element extends transversely to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body and is secured to the lower flexible band, wherein the bellows are configured to compress and relax along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body, and wherein at least a portion of an upper surface of the bellows contacts a lower surface of the upper flexible band. 2. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein ends of the transverse reinforcing element are clamped between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band. 3. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper flexible band is secured to an outer perimeter of the lower flexible band. 4. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic assembly to generate information is housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band in an area of the flexible body that includes the bellows and the transverse reinforcing element. 5. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible portable electronic device includes more than one of the transverse reinforcing element, and the transverse reinforcing elements are separated from each other by at least one of the bellows. 6. A flexible portable electronic device capable of generating an item of information, the flexible portable electronic device comprises: a flexible body configured to be attached to a part of a user's body, wherein the flexible body includes a lower flexible band that gives the flexible portable electronic device thickness and mechanical resistance, and an upper flexible band fixed to the lower flexible band; and an electronic assembly to generate information, wherein the electronic assembly to generate information is housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band of the flexible body, wherein at least two successive bellows each including at least one fold are separated from each other by a transverse reinforcing element at one location on a length of the lower flexible band, wherein the reinforcing element extends transversely to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body and is secured to the lower flexible band, wherein the bellows are configured to compress and relax along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body, and wherein ends of the transverse reinforcing element are clamped between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band. 7. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein at least a portion of an upper surface of the bellows contacts a lower surface of the upper flexible band. 8. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the upper flexible band is secured to an outer perimeter of the lower flexible band. 9. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic assembly to generate information is housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band in an area of the flexible body that includes the bellows and the transverse reinforcing element. 10. The flexible portable electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the flexible portable electronic device includes more than one of the transverse reinforcing element, and the transverse reinforcing elements are separated from each other by at least one of the bellows.
