Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electronic products, specifically relating to a plug, electronic device, and wearable device component. Background Technology

[0002] In order to reduce the weight of wearable devices, some current wearable devices do not have built-in batteries, but instead rely on external power sources to achieve power and battery life; for example... Figure 1 As shown, the external power supply 002 is detachably connected to the power socket of the wearable device 001 via cable 004 and plug 003, thereby realizing the modularity of the external power supply 002 and the wearable device 001.

[0003] In related technologies, wearable devices require a continuous external power supply to function properly; for example... Figure 2 As shown, when the user removes the plug by hand, the plug is almost instantly disconnected from the headset's jack, and the headset is instantly powered off. This results in the basic data of the apps running on the headset and the basic data of the system OS not being saved in time. This may lead to issues such as loss of user application data, inability to open applications normally, and system instability when the headset is turned on again, affecting user experience and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a plug, electronic device, and wearable device component that can solve the problem that the wearable device does not have enough time to save data due to the instantaneous power loss caused by the detachment of the plug from the wearable device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows: First aspect: This application provides a plug, including: a housing, a plug electrical connector, a detection element, and a circuit board; The plug electrical connector is fixed to the housing and is used for electrical connection to a socket of an external device; The detection element is mounted on the housing and is used to detect the proximity of the user's finger; The circuit board is disposed inside the housing and is electrically connected to the detection element. The circuit board is used to trigger a power outage warning when the detection element detects that a user's finger is close to the device.

[0006] Secondly, this application also provides an electronic device for detachably connecting to the aforementioned plug, wherein the external device is the electronic device, the electronic device includes the socket, and the socket includes a socket electrical connector for electrically connecting to the plug electrical connector.

[0007] Thirdly, this application also provides a wearable device component, including: a plug and an electronic device, wherein the electronic device is a wearable device, and the wearable device performs data storage operations upon receiving the power outage warning.

[0008] This embodiment of the application uses a plug-in electrical connector to electrically connect to the socket of an external device, enabling signal transmission between the plug and the external device. A detection element detects the user's finger information and triggers a power-off warning when the element detects the user's finger approaching, thus allowing the external device sufficient time to save data before power loss. Therefore, it effectively prevents data loss, inability to power on, and system instability caused by the moment the plug is removed from the socket, thus improving user experience and product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0012] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0013] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples and application scenarios.

[0014] refer to Figures 3 to 8 This application discloses a plug 01 for use with an external device to provide power or transmit information to the external device. The external device can be a wearable device 02, but it can also be other devices, which are not specifically limited here. The disclosed plug 01 includes a housing 10, a plug electrical connector 70, a detection element 30, and a circuit board 40.

[0015] The housing 10 is a basic component that provides a mounting base for components such as the plug electrical connector 70, the detection element 30, and the circuit board 40. In addition, the housing 10 can also provide a certain degree of protection for components such as the plug electrical connector 70, the detection element 30, and the circuit board 40.

[0016] The plug electrical connector 70 is fixed to the housing 10 and is used to electrically connect to the socket 021 of the external device, so that signal transmission can be achieved between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket 021.

[0017] The detection element 30 is mounted on the housing 10 and is used to detect the approach of a user's finger. When a user's finger approaches the detection element 30, the detection element 30 can detect the user's finger information. Optionally, the detection element 30 can be directly mounted on the housing 10. Alternatively, the detection element 30 can also be mounted on a functional module connected to the housing 10.

[0018] For example, the detection element 30 can be disposed on the outer wall of the housing 10 or inside the housing 10, depending on actual needs. When the detection element 30 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 10, the detection element 30 can be a distance sensor or a capacitance detection module 31; when the detection element 30 is disposed inside the housing 10, the detection element 30 can be a capacitance detection module 31.

[0019] The circuit board 40 is disposed inside the housing 10 so that the housing 10 can fix and install the circuit board 40. In addition, the housing 10 can also protect the circuit board 40 to prevent external factors from interfering with the circuit board 40.

[0020] The detection element 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 40. The detection element 30 can send the detected user finger information to the circuit board 40, so that the circuit board 40 can make a judgment and issue an instruction. The circuit board 40 is used to trigger a power-off warning when the detection element 30 detects that the user finger is close.

[0021] In this embodiment, the detection element 30 can detect whether a user's finger is approaching. If a user's finger is approaching, a power-off warning is triggered via the circuit board 40, and a power-off warning message is sent to the external device via the circuit board 40. This allows the external device sufficient time to save data before power is lost. Therefore, it can effectively prevent data loss, inability to power on, and system instability caused by the moment the plug 01 is disconnected from the external device, thus improving user experience and product quality.

[0022] It should be noted that when plug 01 is used with an external device, the circuit board 40 of plug 01 and the external device can transmit signals between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket 021. On the one hand, plug 01 can supply power to the external device, and on the other hand, it can send information to the external device through circuit board 40. For example, circuit board 40 can send a power failure warning message to the external device so that the external device can save the data before plug 01 is disconnected from the external device.

[0023] refer to Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the detection element 30 may include a conductive structure 32 and a capacitance detection module 31, wherein the conductive structure 32 is connected to the housing 10, the capacitance detection module 31 is electrically connected to the conductive structure 32, and the capacitance detection module 31 is connected to the circuit board 40, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the capacitance detection module 31 is used to confirm whether the user's finger is close by using the capacitance value or capacitance change value measured by the conductive structure 32.

[0024] It should be noted that when a user's finger approaches the conductive structure 32, the capacitance value around the conductive structure 32 will change. The conductive structure 32 can send the changed capacitance value to the capacitance detection module 31 so that the capacitance detection module 31 can confirm whether a user's finger is approaching.

[0025] In some embodiments, the plug 01 may also include a button 20, and a detection element 30 may be disposed on the button 20, so that when the user's finger is close to the button 20, the detection element 30 can detect the user's finger information.

[0026] It should be noted that button 20 is a force-bearing component, capable of withstanding the pressing force from the user. Button 20 may have a pressing surface, which is used to withstand the pressing force from the user.

[0027] The detection element 30 may include a conductive structure 32, an electrical connector 33, and a capacitance detection module 31. The capacitance detection module 31 is electrically connected to the conductive structure 32 through the electrical connector 33. The conductive structure 32 is located on the button 20. The capacitance detection module 31 is used to confirm whether the user's finger is close based on the capacitance value or capacitance change value measured by the conductive structure 32.

[0028] Based on this, the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31 can be connected together through the electrical connector 33. At the same time, the circuit board 40 is also electrically connected to the capacitance detection module 31, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31. This allows the capacitance detection module 31 to detect changes in the capacitance signal value of the conductive structure 32, so as to determine whether the user's finger is close to the conductive structure 32.

[0029] When a user's finger approaches the button 20 and the conductive structure 32 located on the button 20, the capacitance value around the conductive structure 32 will change. The conductive structure 32 can send the changed capacitance value to the capacitance detection module 31 through the electrical connector 33, so that the capacitance detection module 31 can confirm whether a user's finger is approaching.

[0030] refer to Figures 5 to 8In some embodiments, the button 20 may include a pressing portion 21 and a button reset member 22. At least one side of the housing 10 may have a through hole 11, through which the pressing portion 21 passes, and a conductive structure 32 is disposed on the pressing surface of the pressing portion 21. Therefore, the conductive structure 32 can move relative to the housing 10 as the pressing portion 21 moves within the through hole 11, thereby changing the position of the pressing portion 21 and the conductive structure 32 relative to the housing.

[0031] The button reset component 22 is elastically connected to the pressing part 21 to apply an elastic force to the pressing part 21.

[0032] Based on this, during the pressing of the pressing part 21, the button reset member 21 deforms, and at the same time, the pressing part 21 can move toward the inside of the housing 10; when the external pressing force is released, the button reset member 22 pushes the pressing part 21 with the conductive structure 32 to reset, so that the pressing part 21 moves toward the outside of the housing 10.

[0033] Optionally, the button reset element 22 can be a spring.

[0034] Furthermore, the pressing part 21 of the button 20 can be made of a conductive material, and the conductive structure 32 is integrally formed with the pressing part 21. Based on this, the pressing part 21 can not only withstand the user's pressing force, but also transmit signals with the conductive structure 32, so as to detect whether the capacitance around the conductive structure 32 has changed.

[0035] Specifically, when a user's finger approaches the pressing part 21 and the conductive structure 32 and enters the capacitance detection sensing area, the capacitance signal value around the conductive structure 32 will change. The capacitance detection module 31 detects the change in capacitance signal value and sends corresponding information to the circuit board 40 so as to trigger a power outage warning through the circuit board 40.

[0036] The capacitance detection sensing area can be the region between the surface of the pressing part 21 and a position at a distance L from the surface of the pressing part 21. That is, when the distance between the user's finger and the surface of the pressing part 21 is less than L, the capacitance signal value of the conductive structure 32 will change.

[0037] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the plug 01 may also include a button 20 and a plug connector 50. The button 20 is connected to the plug connector 50. The button 20 is retractable to the housing 10. By pressing the button 20, the plug connector 50 can be moved from a first position to a second position.

[0038] Based on this, when the plug connector 50 is in the first position, the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 of the socket 021 cooperate to limit the movement and are detachably connected to each other, so that the plug 01 and the socket 021 are in a connected state, and the plug electrical connector 70 is electrically connected to the socket electrical connector 0212 of the socket 021.

[0039] When the plug connector 50 is in the second position, the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 are released from their limiting positions, and the plug 01 and the socket 021 are in an unlocked state, allowing the plug 01 to be disengaged from the socket 021 to disconnect the electrical connection between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket electrical connector 0212.

[0040] Based on the above settings, the plug 01 can be assembled with an external device through the limiting cooperation between the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211. Furthermore, the plug 01 can transmit signals with the external device through the cooperation between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket electrical connector 0212, so as to provide power to the external device or transmit information through the plug 01.

[0041] Optionally, button 20 can be reset by the action of button reset member 22, so as to drive plug connector 50 to cooperate with socket connector, so as to install plug 01 to external device.

[0042] In some embodiments, the plug 01 may include a plurality of buttons 20 and a plurality of plug latches 50 respectively connected to the plurality of buttons 20, with the plurality of buttons 20 spaced circumferentially around the housing 10. Based on this, simultaneously pressing the plurality of buttons 20 causes the plurality of plug latches 50 to all be in a second position, thereby releasing the plurality of plug latches 50 from the socket connector, ensuring that the plug 01 and socket 021 are in an unlocked state. Furthermore, the cooperation between the plurality of plug latches 50 and the socket connector improves the stability and firmness of the assembly between the plug 01 and socket 021, preventing accidental separation of the plug 01 and socket 021. Moreover, the plug 01 and socket 021 can only be separated when all the plug latches 50 are released from the socket connector, effectively preventing accidental unlocking of the plug 01 and socket 021 due to unintentional touch of some buttons 20.

[0043] Optionally, the multiple buttons 20 can be evenly distributed around the circumference of the housing 10 to make the force on the multiple buttons 20 more even.

[0044] In some embodiments, the detection element 30 may include a plurality of conductive structures 32, a plurality of electrical connectors 33, and a capacitance detection module 31, wherein the capacitance detection module 31 is connected to the plurality of conductive structures 32 through the plurality of electrical connectors 33, and the capacitance detection module 31 is used to confirm whether the user's finger is close based on the capacitance value or capacitance change value measured by the conductive structure 32.

[0045] Furthermore, the multiple buttons 20 are provided with at least one conductive structure 32. Any conductive structure 32 can be electrically connected to the capacitance detection module 31 through at least one electrical connector 33 to confirm whether the user's finger is close to the conductive structure 32.

[0046] Based on the above configuration, when a user's finger approaches any conductive structure 32, a signal can be transmitted to the capacitance detection module 31 via the conductive structure 32 and the electrical connector 33. The capacitance detection module 31 then detects the capacitance value or capacitance change, thereby confirming the proximity of the user's finger. This method can increase the detection area and improve detection accuracy to some extent.

[0047] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the plug 01 may also include a plurality of transmission structures 61 and a gear 60 rotatably connected to the housing 10, wherein the transmission structure 61 has a toothed structure 611 that matches the gear 62, the plurality of transmission structures 61 are meshed with the gear 62, and the transmission structure 61 is connected between the button 20 and the gear 62.

[0048] Optionally, a rotating shaft may be provided in the central region of the housing 10, and the gear 62 is sleeved on the rotating shaft so that the gear 62 can rotate around the rotating shaft. The transmission structure 61 can be a rack and pinion structure.

[0049] In addition, the transmission structure 61 is connected between the plug connector 50 and the gear 62. Thus, pressing multiple buttons 20 can drive the transmission structure 61 connected to it to move, and the multiple transmission structures 61 synchronously drive the gear 62 to rotate.

[0050] Based on the above settings, the synchronous movement of multiple transmission structures 61 can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring that the buttons 20 on both sides and the plug connectors 50 move synchronously, so that multiple plug connectors 50 can be engaged or disengaged simultaneously.

[0051] Optionally, the button 20 and the plug connector 50 can be connected by a pin or a pin.

[0052] In some embodiments, the plurality of buttons 20 may include a first button 20a and a second button 20b disposed opposite to each other, the plurality of plug connectors 50 may include a first plug connector 50a and a second plug connector 50b, and the plurality of transmission structures 61 may include a first transmission structure 61a and a second transmission structure 61b. The first button 20a, the first plug connector 50a and the first transmission structure 61a are connected, and the second button 20b, the second plug connector 50b and the second transmission structure 61b are connected. Thus, when the first button 20a is pressed, the first plug connector 50a and the first transmission structure 61a can be moved by the first button 20a. When the second button 20b is pressed, the second plug connector 50b and the second transmission structure 61b can be moved by the second button 20b.

[0053] Optionally, the first button 20a and the second button 20b can be located on opposite sides of the housing 10, and the first transmission structure 61a and the second transmission structure 61b are located on opposite sides of the gear 62. This arrangement allows the user to easily apply force to the first button 20a and the second button 20b, while ensuring the synchronization of their movement.

[0054] In some more specific embodiments, the transmission structure 61 and the plug connector 50 can be integrally formed and connected, so that the two can form a whole, which facilitates manufacturing and helps to improve the strength of the overall structure.

[0055] In addition, the transmission structure 61 can be integrally formed with the pressing part 21 of the button, so that the two can form a whole, which facilitates manufacturing and helps to improve the strength of the overall structure.

[0056] Considering that the conductive structure 32 may cause the plug 01 to separate from the external device as the button 20 moves relative to the housing 10, the button 20 in this embodiment can move relative to the housing 10; and since the capacitance detection module 31 is disposed on the circuit board 40 and fixed relative to the housing 10, the distance between the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31 can be changed when the button 20 moves relative to the housing 10.

[0057] Based on the above, in order to ensure that the electrical connector 33 can be stably connected to the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31 respectively, in this embodiment of the application, at least a portion of the electrical connector 33 can move or deform between the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31. In this way, the movement or deformation of the electrical connector 33 can adapt to the movement of the conductive structure 32 relative to the capacitance detection module 31, and prevent the electrical connector 33 from interfering with the movement of the conductive structure 32.

[0058] Optionally, when at least a portion of the electrical connector 33 can move, the movement of at least a portion of the electrical connector 33 can avoid the conductive structure 32, thereby providing greater movement space for the conductive structure 32; when at least a portion of the electrical connector 33 can deform, the deformation of at least a portion of the electrical connector 33 can accommodate the movement of the conductive structure 32 relative to the capacitance detection module 31, thereby preventing the electrical connector 33 from interfering with the movement of the conductive structure 32.

[0059] refer to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the electrical connector 33 may include a retractable electrical connector 331. During the pressing of the button 20 and the resetting of the button 20, the retractable electrical connector 331 extends and retracts with the movement of the button 20, so that one end of the retractable electrical connector 331 remains connected to the conductive structure 32, and the other end of the retractable electrical connector 331 remains connected to the circuit board 40 provided with the capacitance detection module 31.

[0060] Optionally, the retractable electrical connector 331 can be a metal spring pin connected to the conductive structure 32 so that signal transmission can be performed between the metal spring pin and the conductive structure 32.

[0061] In addition, the circuit board 40 may be connected to a metal plate, and the end of the metal spring pin abuts against the metal plate. In this way, the conductive structure 32 and the circuit board 40 can be electrically connected through the metal spring pin to facilitate signal transmission.

[0062] Based on the above settings, after the plug 01 is assembled, the metal spring pins elastically abut against the metal sheet to achieve circuit signal conduction. Utilizing the extensibility of the metal spring pins, a stable and reliable connection can be achieved with the circuit board 40 regardless of the position of the conductive structure 32 within its movable range.

[0063] Optionally, one end of the metal spring pin can be threaded into the button 20 for easy assembly and disassembly. Additionally, the metal sheet is soldered to the circuit board 40 for secure installation.

[0064] refer to Figure 8 In other embodiments, the electrical connector 33 may include a flexible cable 332. One end of the flexible cable 332 is connected to the conductive structure 32, and the other end is connected to the circuit board 40. Thus, the conductive structure 32 and the circuit board 40 can be connected together via the flexible cable 332 to achieve signal transmission. In this embodiment, during the pressing and resetting of the button 20, the flexible cable 332 can bend and deform following the movement of the button 20, ensuring that one end of the flexible cable 332 remains connected to the conductive structure 32, and the other end remains connected to the circuit board 40 equipped with the capacitance detection module 31.

[0065] Based on the above configuration, the conductive structure 32 can be connected to the circuit board 40 via the flexible cable 332, and then connected to the capacitance detection module 31 via the circuit board 40. This allows signal transmission between the conductive structure 32 and the capacitance detection module 31, enabling the capacitance signal value of the conductive structure 32 to be detected by the capacitance detection module 31. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes the deformability of the flexible cable 332, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the conductive structure 32 and the circuit board 40 regardless of the position of the button 20 within its movable range.

[0066] In some embodiments, if the distance between the detection element 30 and the user's finger is less than or equal to a preset distance, the circuit board 40 triggers a power-off warning; additionally, the external device performs data storage operations upon receiving the power-off warning. Therefore, data can be stored before the external device loses power, preventing data loss due to power failure.

[0067] In some embodiments, the detection element 30 may be disposed on the button 20 to detect the approach of the user's finger during the process of the user's finger pressing the button 20. The circuit board 40 is used to trigger a power-off warning when the detection element 30 detects the approach of the user's finger and the distance between the detection element 30 and the user's finger is less than a preset distance.

[0068] The time for the external device to complete the data storage operation is T1, and the time for the user's finger to move from a preset distance to contact the button 20 is T2. The preset distance is adjusted so that T2 is greater than or equal to T1.

[0069] Based on the above settings, it can be ensured that the data is stored before the user presses the button 20, thus ensuring that the separation of the plug 01 and the socket 021 will not cause data loss.

[0070] This application also discloses an electronic device for detachably connecting to the aforementioned plug 01. The external device is the electronic device, which includes a socket 021, and the socket 021 includes a socket connector 0212 for electrical connection with the plug connector 70.

[0071] Based on the above configuration, when the plug 01 and socket 021 are assembled, signal transmission can be performed between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket electrical connector 0212, so as to power the electronic device through the plug 01 or to realize signal transmission between the plug 01 and the electronic device.

[0072] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the plug 01 may also include a button 20 and a plug connector 50. The button 20 is connected to the plug connector 50. The button 20 is retractable to the housing 10. By pressing the button 20, the plug connector 50 can be moved from a first position to a second position.

[0073] Based on the above settings, when the plug connector 50 is in the first position, the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 of the socket 021 cooperate to limit the movement and are detachably connected to each other, so that the plug 01 and the socket 021 are in a connected state, and the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket electrical connector 0212 are electrically connected.

[0074] When the plug connector 50 is in the second position, the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 are released from their limiting positions, and the plug 01 and the socket 021 are in an unlocked state, allowing the plug 01 to be disengaged from the socket 021 to disconnect the electrical connection between the plug electrical connector 70 and the socket electrical connector 0212.

[0075] Optionally, one of the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 includes a hook structure 51, and the other of the plug connector 50 and the socket connector 0211 includes a slot structure 02111 that matches the hook structure 51. In this way, the snap-fit ​​between the plug 01 and the socket 021 is achieved by the cooperation between the hook structure 51 and the slot structure 02111.

[0076] This application also discloses a wearable device component, which includes the plug and the electronic device. The electronic device can be a wearable device 02, which performs data storage operations when it receives a power outage warning.

[0077] For example, the wearable device 02 can be a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a mixed reality (MR) device, an extended reality (XR) device, etc.

[0078] This application provides a detailed description of the embodiment using the interaction between the plug 01 and the wearable device 01 as an example.

[0079] The process of unplugging the plug 01 relative to the wearable device 02 is as follows: When the user presses the button 20 in the direction of pressing, the button 20 moves toward the inside of the housing 10. During the movement of the button 20, the button reset member 22 deforms and stores potential energy. At the same time, the button 20 drives the plug latch 50 to move, so that the plug latch 50 is released from the socket connector 0211 of the wearable device 02. At this time, the plug 01 can be pulled out of the wearable device 02.

[0080] The process of inserting plug 01 into wearable device 02 is as follows: When the user releases the pressure on button 20, button 20 moves outward relative to housing 10 under the action of button reset component 22. At the same time, plug connector 50 moves synchronously with button 20, so that plug connector 50 can return to its original position and engage with the socket connector of wearable device 02.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the power failure warning process for the wearable device component is as follows: The detection element 30 detects whether there is user finger information within a preset range; If present, the circuit board 40 triggers a power outage warning procedure and sends a power outage warning message to the wearable device 02 so that the wearable device 02 can save data before being disconnected from the plug 01.

[0082] Based on the above steps, the wearable device 02 can have enough time to save data before power loss, which can effectively prevent data loss, inability to turn on normally, system instability and other situations caused by the moment the plug 01 is disconnected from the wearable device 02. This is conducive to improving user experience and product quality.

[0083] Optionally, the detection element 30 detects whether user finger information exists within a preset range, including: The capacitance value or capacitance change around the conductive structure 32 and the button 20 is detected by the capacitance detection module 31. When the capacitance value changes, it is determined that there is user finger information within a preset range around the conductive structure 32 and the button 20.

[0084] Based on the above steps, it can be determined whether the user's finger is close to the button 20. If it is close to the button 20, the circuit board 40 will trigger a power outage warning and send a power outage warning message to the wearable device 02 so that the wearable device 02 can save the data in advance and prevent data loss due to a sudden power outage.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps for a power outage warning are as follows: When a user's finger approaches button 20 and the distance between the finger and the surface of button 20 is less than or equal to the sensing distance L, plug 01 detects a change in capacitance signal value through capacitance detection module 31, triggers a power failure warning through circuit board 40 and reports it to wearable device 02. Wearable device 02 immediately saves the data. The time from triggering the power failure warning to the wearable device 02 saving the data is T.

[0086] After the alert is triggered, the user's finger continues to approach button 20 and applies pressure, causing button 20 to slide relative to housing 10. This releases the plug connector 50 from the socket connector of wearable device 02, allowing the user to remove plug 01 and power off wearable device 02. The time from alert triggering to power off wearable device 02 is T1. It should be noted that since the user presses button 20 to unlock and remove plug 01, the minimum time T1 for the entire operation is essentially a fixed value.

[0087] By setting the sensing distance L, T < T1 can be achieved, meaning that the wearable device 02 can save data before powering off. This solves the system problem of the wearable device 02 and enables data saving, thereby improving product quality.

[0088] In summary, the plug 01 in this embodiment of the application is equipped with a detection element 30, which detects whether the user's finger is close to the button 20, and triggers a power-off warning when the user's finger is detected to be close to the button 20, so that the wearable device 02 can start responding and store data in advance to prevent data loss.
