[0132] The configuration of FIG. 12 may be referenced by configurations of other drawings to the extent that they are not mutually disposed. The same terms and / or the same reference numerals have been used for configurations that are identical or substantially identical to configurations of other drawings.

[0133] Referring to FIG. 12, a space (S) may be formed by the combination of the first part (11) and the fifth part (13). At least a portion of the second part (12) may be located within the space (S). For example, a protrusion (121) of the second part (12) may protrude outside the space (S), and the remainder of the second part (12) may be located within the space (S). However, this is not limited thereto. For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may protrude outside the space (S). For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be visible from the outside of the wearable electronic device. For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be visible from the outside of the first frame.

[0134] According to one embodiment, when the second frame (e.g., the second frame (20) of FIG. 1) is combined with the first frame (e.g., the first frame (10) of FIG. 1) or when the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10), the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11). For example, the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11) in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) or a second direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., -z direction) within space (S). The first direction and the second direction may be substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., +x direction).

[0135] According to one embodiment, as the second part (12) moves in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) or a second direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., -z direction) with respect to the first part (11) within the space (S), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may move in the direction in which the second part (12) moves with respect to the first part (11). For example, as the second part (12) moves in the first direction with respect to the first part (11), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may move in the first direction. For example, as the second part (12) moves in the first direction with respect to the first part (11), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may move toward the interior of the first frame. For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be drawn from the outside of the first frame into the interior of the first frame. As the second part (12) moves in a second direction relative to the first part (11), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may move in a second direction. For example, as the second part (12) moves in a second direction relative to the first part (11), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may protrude toward the outside of the first frame. For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be drawn out from inside the first frame to the outside of the first frame.

For example, at least one fourth magnet (120) may be configured to move in the first direction or the second direction relative to at least one third magnet (111) while attached to at least one third magnet (111). For example, with at least one fourth magnet (120) attached to at least one third magnet (111), the second part (12) may be configured to move in the first direction or the second direction relative to the first part (11).

[0138] According to one embodiment, when the second frame (e.g., the second frame (20) of FIG. 1) is combined with the first frame (e.g., the first frame (10) of FIG. 1) or when the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10), at least one protrusion (121) may be configured to move while inserted into at least one opening (130). For example, at least one protrusion (121) may be configured to move in the first direction or the second direction while inserted into at least one opening (130).

[0139] According to one embodiment, at least one protrusion (121) may include a first groove (122) formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., the +z direction). The first groove (122) may restrict the movement of at least one protrusion (121) when the second frame (e.g., the second frame (20) of FIG. 1) is combined with the first frame (e.g., the first frame (10) of FIG. 1). For example, when referring together with FIG. 8 and FIG. 23, at least a portion of the second frame (20) (e.g., the first portion (223) of the fourth part (22)) may be received within the first groove (122) when the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are combined, and the movement of at least one protrusion (121) (e.g., movement in the direction in which the protrusion protrudes, or movement in the x-axis direction) may be restricted. Therefore, the bonding force (or fixing force) of the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) can be improved.

[0140] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a first frame cut along line D-D' of FIG. 9 according to one embodiment.

[0141] The configuration of FIG. 13 may be referenced by configurations of other drawings to the extent that they are not conflicting with each other.

For example, the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11) in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) or a second direction (e.g., -z direction) as at least one protrusion (121) moves in contact with the fourth part (22).

[0147] According to one embodiment, when the second frame (20) is combined with the first frame (10) or when the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10), at least one protrusion (121) may be configured to move relative to at least one third magnet (111) as it moves while in contact with the second frame (20). When the at least one fourth magnet (120) moves relative to the at least one third magnet (111), the at least one fourth magnet (120) may face the at least one third magnet (111). For example, when the at least one fourth magnet (120) moves relative to the at least one third magnet (111), the state in which the at least one fourth magnet (120) is attached to the at least one third magnet (111) may be maintained. Accordingly, when the second frame (20) is combined with the first frame (10) or when the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10), the second part (12) can be moved in the first direction or the second direction while attached to the first part (11) as at least one protrusion (121) moves while in contact with the second frame (20).

[0148] According to one embodiment, when the second frame (20) is combined with the first frame (10), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be configured to protrude outside the first frame (10) as the second part (12) moves relative to the first part (11) when the second frame (20) is combined with at least one protrusion (121) in contact with the second frame (20).

[0149] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of a wearable electronic device illustrating the operation of combining a first frame and a second frame according to one embodiment.

[0151] FIG. 15(a) illustrates a first state in which the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are separated from each other. In the first state, at least one fourth magnet (120) of the second part (12) may face at least one third magnet (111) of the first part (11). In the first state, the second part (12) may be fixed in a state attached to the first part (11) within the space (S) formed by the first part (11) and the fifth part (13).

[0152] Referring to FIG. 15(a), the end of at least one protrusion (121) may protrude in a direction different from the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., +x direction). For example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may protrude in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., z-axis direction). For example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may protrude in the direction in which the bottom of the at least one protrusion (121) faces (e.g., -z direction).

[0153] FIG. 15(b) illustrates a second state in which the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are combined. In the second state, at least one protrusion (121) may come into contact with the second frame (20). For example, at least one protrusion (121) may come into contact with the fourth part (22). At least one protrusion (121) may move in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) while coming into contact with the fourth part (22). For example, at least one protrusion (121) may move in the first direction while coming into contact with the inclined surface (223a) of the fourth part (22). As at least one protrusion (121) moves in the first direction while coming into contact with the inclined surface (223a), it may be inserted into the interior of the second frame (20) (e.g., the interior of the recess (218)) through at least one hole (219). For example, as at least one protrusion (121) is inserted into the interior of the second frame (20) while in contact with the second frame (20), the end of the at least one protrusion (121) may be located inside the second frame (20) (e.g., inside the recess (218)).

[0154] According to one embodiment, in the second state, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be moved. For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be moved from outside the first frame toward the inside of the first frame (e.g., in the +z direction). For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be retracted into the inside of the first frame. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be retracted into the inside of the first frame by a user. For example, by pressing the lower part (12a) of the second part (12), at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be retracted into the inside of the first frame.

[0155] According to one embodiment, in a second state, the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11). For example, in a second state, the second part (12) may be configured to move in a first direction relative to the first part (11). For example, the second part (12) may be configured to move in a first direction relative to the first part (11) by a user. For example, the second part (12) may be moved in a first direction relative to the first part (11) by the user pressing the lower part (12a) of the second part (12).

[0156] According to one embodiment, in the second state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in the first direction while in contact with the fourth part (22), the second part (12) can be moved in the first direction relative to the first part (11). For example, in the second state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in the first direction while in contact with the inclined surface (223a), the second part (12) can be moved in the first direction relative to the first part (11).

[0157] According to one embodiment, in the second state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in a first direction while in contact with the fourth part (22), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be moved in the first direction. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be drawn into the interior of the first frame.

[0158] According to one embodiment, in a second state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in a first direction while in contact with the fourth part (22), at least one fourth magnet (120) can be moved in a first direction relative to at least one third magnet (111). For example, in a second state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in a first direction while in contact with the inclined surface (223a), at least one fourth magnet (120) can be moved in a first direction relative to at least one third magnet (111). At this time, due to the attractive force acting between at least one fourth magnet (120) and at least one third magnet (111), at least one fourth magnet (120) can be moved in a first direction relative to at least one third magnet (111) while at least partially attached to the at least one third magnet (111). Accordingly, the second part (12) can be moved in a first direction relative to the first part (11) while attached to the first part (11).

[0159] According to one embodiment, at least one protrusion (121) may be coupled to the second frame (20) as it moves in a first direction while in contact with the fourth part (22). For example, at least one protrusion (121) may be inserted into the recess (218) as it moves in a first direction while in contact with the fourth part (22). As at least one protrusion (121) is inserted into the recess (218), the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11). For example, as at least one protrusion (121) is inserted into the recess (218) and at least a portion of the fourth part (22) is inserted into the first groove (122), at least one fourth magnet (120) may be moved in a second direction relative to at least one third magnet (111). For example, at least one fourth magnet (120) can be moved in a second direction relative to at least one third magnet (111) by the attractive force acting between at least one fourth magnet (120) and at least one third magnet (111). Accordingly, the second part (12) can be moved in a second direction relative to the first part (11).

[0160] According to one embodiment, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be moved in a second direction as the second part (12) moves relative to the first part (11) when at least one protrusion (121) is coupled to the second frame (20). For example, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be protruded toward the outside of the first frame as the second part (12) moves relative to the first part (11) when at least one protrusion (121) is coupled to the second frame (20) (e.g., recess (218)) in contact with the second frame (20).

For example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may be located inside the second frame (20).

[0162] According to one embodiment, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may protrude in a direction different from the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., +x direction) so as to restrict the movement of the at least one protrusion (121). For example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may protrude in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes (e.g., z-axis direction). For example, the end may protrude in the direction in which the bottom of the at least one protrusion (121) faces (e.g., -z direction). The end may be positioned inside a recess (218) so as to restrict the movement of the at least one protrusion (121) in the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) is inserted (or the direction in which the at least one protrusion (121) protrudes) (e.g., x-axis direction). In one example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may form at least a part of the first groove (122).

[0163] According to one embodiment, in a third state, at least one fourth magnet (120) of the second part (12) may face at least one third magnet (111) of the first part (11). In a third state, the second part (12) may be fixed in a state attached to the first part (11) within the space (S) formed by the first part (11) and the fifth part (13). In one example, the position of the second part (12) relative to the first part (11) may be substantially the same in the first state and the third state.

[0164] According to one embodiment, in a third state, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be visible from the outside of the electronic device. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be located at a position protruding from the first frame.

[0167] FIG. 16 (a) illustrates a third state in which the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are combined. Details regarding the third state may be referenced by FIG. 15 (c).

[0168] FIG. 16(b) illustrates a fourth state in which the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are separated. The details of the fourth state may be referenced by the second state of FIG. 15 within the range in which they are not positioned relative to each other.

[0169] According to one embodiment, in a third state, the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be visible from the outside of the electronic device. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may be located at a position protruding from the first frame.

For example, at least one protrusion (121) may come into contact with the inside of the recess (218).

[0171] According to one embodiment, in the fourth state, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be drawn into the interior of the electronic device. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be drawn into the interior of the first frame. For example, at least a portion of the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) can be drawn into the interior of the first frame by a user pressing the lower part (12a).

[0172] According to one embodiment, at least one protrusion (121) may be moved in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) while in contact with the second frame (20). For example, at least one protrusion (121) may be moved in a first direction (e.g., +z direction) while in contact with the recess (218). As at least one protrusion (121) moves in the first direction while in contact with the recess (218), it may be pulled out to the outside of the recess (218). For example, the end of at least one protrusion (121) may be pulled out to the outside of the recess (218).

[0173] According to one embodiment, in a fourth state, the second part (12) may be configured to move relative to the first part (11). For example, in a fourth state, the second part (12) may be configured to move in a first direction relative to the first part (11). For example, in a fourth state, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in a first direction while in contact with the recess (218), the second part (12) may be moved in a first direction relative to the first part (11).

[0174] According to one embodiment, as at least one protrusion (121) moves in a first direction while in contact with the recess (218), at least one protrusion (121) is pulled out of the recess (218), and at least a portion of the fourth part (22) may be disengaged from the first groove (122). As at least one protrusion (121) is pulled out of the recess (218) and at least a portion of the fourth part (22) is disengaged from the first groove (122), at least one protrusion (121) may be separated from the second frame (20). As at least one protrusion (121) is separated from the second frame (20), the second part (12) may be moved relative to the first part (11). For example, the second part (12) may be moved in a second direction relative to the first part (11). For example, at least one fourth magnet (120) can be moved in a second direction relative to at least one third magnet (111) by the attractive force acting between at least one fourth magnet (120) and at least one third magnet (111). Accordingly, the second part (12) can be moved in a second direction relative to the first part (11).

[0175] According to one embodiment, as the second part (12) moves in a second direction relative to the first part (11), the lower part (12a) of the second part (12) may protrude toward the outside of the first frame.

[0179] According to one embodiment, the second frame (20) may include a fastening portion (217). The fastening portion (217) may be formed to wrap around at least a portion of the first frame (10). According to one embodiment, when the first frame (10) and the second frame (20) are combined, a gap (G) may be formed between the fastening portion (217) and the first frame (10). For example, the fastening portion (217) may be spaced apart from at least one of the side of the first part (11) or the side of the fifth part (13) by a predetermined distance. Thus, the second frame (20) can be easily combined with the first frame (10) or easily detached from the first frame (10).

[0180] According to one embodiment, the first frame (10) may include a second groove (115) that accommodates at least a portion of the fastening portion (217). For example, the second groove (115) may be formed in a direction substantially perpendicular (e.g., y-axis direction) to the direction in which the second frame (20) is coupled to the first frame (10) or the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10) (e.g., x-axis direction). In one embodiment, the second groove (115) may be formed in the first part (11). For example, the second groove (115) may be formed on the side of the first part (11).

The projection (2170) may be at least partially disposed within the second groove (115) so as to improve the coupling force (or fixing force) between the first frame (10) and the second frame (20).

[0182] According to one embodiment, the projection (2170) may include a first region (2171) and a second region (2172). In one example, the first region (2171) may be located in the direction in which the second frame (20) is separated from the first frame (10) (e.g., the +x direction). The second region (2172) may be located in the direction in which the second frame (20) is joined to the first frame (10) (e.g., the -x direction).

[0183] According to one embodiment, a first region (2171) of the projection (2170) may have a first radius of curvature. A second region (2172) of the projection (2170) may have a second radius of curvature. The first radius of curvature may be smaller than the second radius of curvature.

[0215] According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (e.g., the wearable electronic device (1) of FIG. 1) can identify that a first conductive part (e.g., the first conductive part (123) of FIG. 22) and a second conductive part (e.g., the second conductive part (124) of FIG. 22) are in contact with a third conductive part (e.g., the third conductive part (229) of FIG. 22) through at least one conductive connecting member. For example, a wearable electronic device can identify whether at least one of the first conductive part (123) or the second conductive part (124) is in contact with the third conductive part (229) based on at least one of information regarding the first bypass current of the first conductive part (123) (or information regarding the first resistance) (123a), information regarding the second bypass current of the second conductive part (124) (or information regarding the second resistance) (124a), or information regarding the third bypass current of the third conductive part (229) (or information regarding the third resistance) (129a).
