[0026] Referring to FIG. 1, in a network environment (100), an electronic device (101) may communicate with an electronic device (102) through a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network) or with at least one of an electronic device (104) or a server (108) through a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may communicate with the electronic device (104) through a server (108). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include a processor (120), memory (130), input module (150), sound output module (155), display module (160), audio module (170), sensor module (176), interface (177), connection terminal (178), haptic module (179), camera module (180), power management module (188), battery (189), communication module (190), subscriber identification module (196), or antenna module (197). In some embodiments, at least one of these components (e.g., connection terminal (178)) may be omitted from the electronic device (101), or one or more other components may be added. In some embodiments, some of these components (e.g., sensor module (176), camera module (180), or antenna module (197)) may be integrated into a single component (e.g., display module (160)).

[0027] The processor (120) can control at least one other component (e.g., a hardware or software component) of the electronic device (101) connected to the processor (120) by executing software (e.g., a program (140)), and can perform various data processing or operations. According to one embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or operations, the processor (120) can store commands or data received from other components (e.g., a sensor module (176) or a communication module (190)) in volatile memory (132), process the commands or data stored in volatile memory (132), and store the resulting data in non-volatile memory (134). According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may include a main processor (121) (e.g., a central processing unit or an application processor) or an auxiliary processor (123) that can operate independently or together with it (e.g., a graphics processing unit, a neural processing unit (NPU), an image signal processor, a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor). For example, if the electronic device (101) includes a main processor (121) and an auxiliary processor (123), the auxiliary processor (123) may be configured to use lower power than the main processor (121) or to be specialized for a designated function. The auxiliary processor (123) may be implemented separately from the main processor (121) or as part thereof.

[0028] The auxiliary processor (123) may control at least some of the functions or states associated with at least one component of the electronic device (101) (e.g., display module (160), sensor module (176), or communication module (190)) on behalf of the main processor (121) while the main processor (121) is in an inactive (e.g., sleep) state, or together with the main processor (121) while the main processor (121) is in an active (e.g., application execution) state. According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (123) (e.g., image signal processor or communication processor) may be implemented as part of another functionally related component (e.g., camera module (180) or communication module (190)). According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor (123) (e.g., neural network processing unit) may include a hardware structure specialized for processing an artificial intelligence model. The artificial intelligence model may be generated through machine learning. Such learning may be performed, for example, on the electronic device (101) itself where the artificial intelligence model is executed, or through a separate server (e.g., server (108)). The learning algorithm may include, for example, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, or reinforcement learning, but is not limited to the examples described above.

In addition to the hardware structure, the artificial intelligence model may include a software structure, either additionally or substantially.

[0029] The memory (130) can store various data used by at least one component of the electronic device (101) (e.g., processor (120) or sensor module (176)). The data may include, for example, input data or output data for software (e.g., program (140)) and related commands. The memory (130) may include volatile memory (132) or non-volatile memory (134).

[0030] The program (140) may be stored as software in memory (130) and may include, for example, an operating system (142), middleware (144), or an application (146).

[0031] The input module (150) can receive commands or data to be used for a component of the electronic device (101) (e.g., processor (120)) from outside the electronic device (101) (e.g., user). The input module (150) may include, for example, a microphone, a mouse, a keyboard, a key (e.g., a button), or a digital pen (e.g., a stylus pen).

[0032] The sound output module (155) can output a sound signal to the outside of the electronic device (101). The sound output module (155) may include, for example, a speaker or a receiver. The speaker may be used for general purposes, such as multimedia playback or recording playback. The receiver may be used to receive incoming calls. According to one embodiment, the receiver may be implemented separately from the speaker or as part thereof.

[0033] The display module (160) can visually provide information to an external (e.g., user) of the electronic device (101). The display module (160) may include, for example, a display, a holographic device, or a projector and a control circuit for controlling said device. According to one embodiment, the display module (160) may include a touch sensor configured to detect a touch, or a pressure sensor configured to measure the intensity of the force generated by said touch.

[0034] The audio module (170) can convert sound into an electrical signal or, conversely, convert an electrical signal into sound. According to one embodiment, the audio module (170) can acquire sound through the input module (150) or output sound through the sound output module (155) or an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (102)) (e.g., speaker or headphones) connected directly or wirelessly to the electronic device (101).

[0035] The sensor module (176) can detect the operating state of the electronic device (101) (e.g., power or temperature) or the external environmental state (e.g., user state) and generate an electrical signal or data value corresponding to the detected state. According to one embodiment, the sensor module (176) may include, for example, a gesture sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an accelerometer sensor, a grip sensor, a proximity sensor, a color sensor, an IR (infrared) sensor, a biosensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or an illuminance sensor.

[0036] The interface (177) may support one or more specified protocols that can be used for the electronic device (101) to be connected directly or wirelessly to an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (102)). According to one embodiment, the interface (177) may include, for example, a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), a universal serial bus (USB) interface, an SD card interface, or an audio interface.

[0037] The connection terminal (178) may include a connector through which the electronic device (101) can be physically connected to an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (102)). According to one embodiment, the connection terminal (178) may include, for example, an HDMI connector, a USB connector, an SD card connector, or an audio connector (e.g., a headphone connector).

[0038] The haptic module (179) can convert an electrical signal into a mechanical stimulus (e.g., vibration or movement) or an electrical stimulus that the user can perceive through tactile or kinesthetic senses. According to one embodiment, the haptic module (179) may include, for example, a motor, a piezoelectric element, or an electric stimulation device.

[0039] The camera module (180) can capture still images and video. According to one embodiment, the camera module (180) may include one or more lenses, image sensors, image signal processors, or flashes.

[0040] The power management module (188) can manage power supplied to the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the power management module (188) can be implemented, for example, as at least part of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC).

[0041] The battery (189) can supply power to at least one component of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the battery (189) may include, for example, a non-rechargeable primary battery, a rechargeable secondary battery, or a fuel cell.

[0042] The communication module (190) can support the establishment of a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between an electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (102), electronic device (104), or server (108)), and the performance of communication through the established communication channel. The communication module (190) may include one or more communication processors that operate independently of the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., cellular communication module, short-range wireless communication module, or GNSS (global navigation satellite system) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., LAN (local area network) communication module, or power line communication module). The corresponding communication module among these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device (104) through a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) direct or IrDA (infrared data association)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can identify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) using subscriber information (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0043] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following 4G networks, for example, new radio access technology. NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (massive machine type communications (mMTC)), or high reliability and low latency (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC)). The wireless communication module (192) can support a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate, for example. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in the high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large-scale antenna. The wireless communication module (192) can support various requirements specified in the electronic device (101), external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (104)), or network system (e.g., second network (199)). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module (192) can support a Peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for realizing eMBB, loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for realizing mMTC, or U-plane latency (e.g., downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) each 0.5 ms or less, or round trip 1 ms or less) for realizing URLLC.

[0044] An antenna module (197) can transmit a signal or power to an external source (e.g., an external electronic device) or receive it from an external source. According to one embodiment, the antenna module (197) may include an antenna comprising a radiator made of a conductor or a conductive pattern formed on a substrate (e.g., a PCB). According to one embodiment, the antenna module (197) may include a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna). In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication method used in a communication network, such as a first network (198) or a second network (199), may be selected from the plurality of antennas, for example, by a communication module (190). A signal or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module (190) and an external electronic device through the selected at least one antenna. According to some embodiments, in addition to the radiator, other components (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) may be additionally formed as part of the antenna module (197).

[0045] According to various embodiments, the antenna module (197) may form a mmWave antenna module. According to one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent to a first surface (e.g., bottom surface) of the printed circuit board and capable of supporting a specified high frequency band (e.g., mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., array antennas) disposed on or adjacent to a second surface (e.g., top surface or side surface) of the printed circuit board and capable of transmitting or receiving a signal of the specified high frequency band.

[0046] At least some of the above components can be connected to each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)) and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other.

[0047] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) through a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102, or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations performed on the electronic device (101) may be performed on one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, if the electronic device (101) needs to perform a function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of the function or service instead of performing the function or service itself or additionally. One or more external electronic devices that receive the above request may execute at least part of the requested function or service, or additional function or service related to the request, and transmit the result of the execution to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may provide the result as is or additionally processed as at least part of the response to the request. For this purpose, for example, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used. The electronic device (101) may provide ultra-low latency services using, for example, distributed computing or mobile edge computing. In another embodiment, the external electronic device (104) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (108) may be an intelligent server using machine learning and / or neural networks. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included within a second network (199).The electronic device (101) can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart city, smart car, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

[0048] Figure 2 illustrates electromagnetic waves absorbed according to wireless communication of a head-worn electronic device.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 2, a head-worn electronic device (201) may be worn by a user (210). The head-worn electronic device (201) may perform wireless communication with another electronic device (e.g., an external device (203)). For example, the head-worn electronic device (201) may transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal (220) (e.g., Wi-Fi signal, cellular signal) to the external device (203) and / or receive an RF signal (220) from the external device (203) in order to perform the wireless communication with the external device (203). The head-worn device (281) may include, for example, AR glasses.

[0050] The head-worn electronic device (201) can provide various services to the user (210) through wireless communication with an external device (203). For example, the various services may include an augmented reality service that displays a virtual reality image (or virtual reality object) superimposed on an external object viewed by the user (210).

[0051] RF signals (220) transmitted from a head-worn electronic device (201) to an external device (203) via wireless communication with an external device (203) may be harmful to the user (210). For example, at least a portion of the transmitted RF signal (220), such as a signal (221), may be absorbed by the user (210). When the strength of the signal (221) absorbed by the user (210) is greater than a certain level, wireless communication with the external device (203) may be harmful to the user (210). For example, the head-worn electronic device (281) may set the transmission power of the RF signal (220) to a power within a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation so that the wireless communication is not harmful to the user (210).

[0052] Figure 3 shows the correlation between the distance between the antenna radiator and the human body and the transmission power.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 3, as the antenna (320) moves further away from the user (210), the transmission power satisfying the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation can be increased (or increased). For example, when the distance between the antenna (320) and the user (210) is a first distance (311), the range of transmission power satisfying the SAR regulation can be represented as a transmission power range (331). For example, when the distance between the antenna (320) and the user (210) is a second distance (312) which is longer than the first distance (311), the range of transmission power satisfying the SAR regulation can be represented as a transmission power range (332). The transmission power range (332) can be wider than the transmission power range (331). The maximum value of the transmission power range (332) can be greater than the maximum value of the transmission power range (331). For example, as the distance between the antenna (320) and the user (210) increases, the maximum transmission power of the signal radiated through the antenna (320) can increase. As the maximum transmission power of the signal increases, the throughput of the signal radiation can increase.

[0054] Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views of a head-worn electronic device.

[0055] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the head-wearing electronic device (401) is a device in the form of glasses, and may be smart glasses, electronic glasses, or an augmented reality (AR) device.

[0056] The head-wearing electronic device (401) may include a housing (410), light-transmitting components (420), and / or a printed circuit board (440). For example, the light-transmitting components (420) may include a first light-transmitting component (420-1) and a second light-transmitting component (420-2).

[0057] In one embodiment, the housing (410) may at least partially form the exterior of the head-wearing electronic device (401). The housing (410) may include a frame (415) that accommodates a first light-transmitting configuration (420-1) and a second light-transmitting configuration (420-2), a first temple (417-1) extending from one end (or first side portion) of the frame (415), and a second temple (417-2) extending from the other end (or second side portion) of the frame (415). The first temple (417-1) may be rotatably coupled to the one end of the frame (415). For example, the first temple (417-1) may be coupled to the one end of the frame (415) via a hinge structure (e.g., the hinge structure (810-2) of FIG. 8). However, the mechanism by which the first temple (417-1) is rotatably coupled to the frame (415) is not limited to this.

[0058] The second temple (417-2) may be rotatably coupled to the other end of the frame (415). For example, the second temple (417-2) may be coupled to the other end of the frame (415) via a hinge structure. However, the mechanism by which the second temple (417-2) is rotatably coupled to the frame (415) is not limited thereto. The first temple (417-1) and the second temple (417-2) may each be supported by the right ear and the left ear of a user wearing the head-worn electronic device (401).

[0059] The frame (415) may include a first frame (or rim) (411-1) surrounding a first light-transmitting structure (420-1), a second frame (or rim) (411-2) surrounding a second light-transmitting structure (420-2), and a bridge (413) connecting the first frame (or rim) (411-1) and the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0060] The first light-transmitting configuration (420-1) may be positioned in front of the right eye of a user wearing the head-wearing electronic device (401). The first light-transmitting configuration (420-1) may be substantially transparent so that the user wearing the head-wearing electronic device (401) can see the external environment. The first light-transmitting configuration (420-1) may include a transparent member with refractive power, a transparent member without refractive power, and / or a display. For example, the transparent member with refractive power may be a lens or a lens assembly. For example, the transparent member without refractive power may be glass.

[0061] The second light-transmitting configuration (420-2) may be positioned in front of the left eye of a user wearing the head-wearing electronic device (401). The second light-transmitting configuration (420-2) may be substantially transparent so that the user wearing the head-wearing electronic device (401) can see the external environment. The second light-transmitting configuration (420-2) may include a transparent member with refractive power, a transparent member without refractive power, and / or a display.

[0062] In one embodiment, the printed circuit board (440) may be located within the first temple (417-1) and / or the second temple (417-2). Various components of the head-wearing electronic device (401) (e.g., at least one of the components of FIG. 1) may be placed on the printed circuit board (440). For example, a processor (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) and a wireless communication circuit (e.g., the wireless communication module (192) of FIG. 1) may be placed on the printed circuit board (440).

[0063] In a comparative example, the head-worn electronic device (401) may include an antenna (320) for wireless communication with an external device (203). For example, the antenna (320) may be placed or formed on a printed circuit board (440) placed within a temple (417-2). In this case, various problems may arise in order to comply with SAR regulations. For example, when the antenna (320) is placed on the printed circuit board (440), the distance between the user (e.g., user (210) in FIG. 2) and the antenna (320) is close, so a problem may arise in that the transmission power of the signal radiated through the antenna (320) must be limited to satisfy SAR regulations. For example, throughput may be reduced due to the limitation of the signal transmission power to satisfy SAR regulations.

[0064] In another comparative example, the antenna (320) may be fixedly positioned on the second frame (or rim) (411-2). When the antenna (320) is positioned on the second frame (or rim) (411-2), a feeding line (430) connecting the antenna (320) and the printed circuit board (440) positioned on the second temple (417-2) may be formed long.

[0065] Various problems may arise if the feed line (430) is formed to be long. For example, communication performance may be reduced because the distance between the communication circuit placed within the printed circuit board (440) and the antenna (320) is increased. For example, path loss may occur due to the relatively long feed line (430). Such path loss may cause a reduction in communication performance. In other words, for a relatively short feed line (430) length, it may be considered to place the antenna (320) at the second temple (417-2). However, since the second temple (417-2) is closer to a part of the user's body than the second frame (or rim) (411-2), there may be a loss in the transmission power range to meet SAR regulations. Accordingly, when the head-wearing electronic device (401) is worn, a structure for moving the antenna (320) away from at least a part of the user's (210) body may be applied to the head-wearing device (401). Such a structure will be described below.

[0066] Figure 6 shows the appearance of a movable antenna in a temple.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 6, to solve the aforementioned problems, a configuration in which the antenna (640) is positioned outside the second temple (417-2) may be considered. For example, the antenna (640) may be positioned to be movable outside the second temple (417-2). For example, when the head-worn electronic device (401) is worn by a user (e.g., user (210) in FIG. 2), the antenna (640) may be moved away from the user (210) to transmit a signal with the highest possible transmission power. The direction in which the antenna (640) moves away from the user (210) may be a first direction (D1), which is a direction toward the end of the second temple (417-2) adjacent to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). Additionally, when the second temple (417-2) is folded relative to the frame (415), the antenna (640) can be moved to a second direction (D2), which is the opposite direction of the first direction (D1).

[0068] Although not illustrated, the antenna (640) may be implemented to move from the first temple (417-1). When the head-worn electronic device (401) is worn by the user (210), the direction in which the antenna (640) moves from the first temple (417-1) may be the first direction (D1).

[0069] The antenna (640) may be positioned to move outside the first temple (417-1) and / or the second temple (417-2).

[0070] The antenna (640) may have various configurations. For example, the antenna (640) may include a conductive member used as an antenna radiator. For example, the antenna (640) may be a conductive member used (or functioning) as an antenna radiator. For example, the antenna (640) may include a non-conductive member and a conductive pattern formed on the non-conductive member and functioning as at least part of an antenna radiator. For example, the antenna (640) may include a PCB and a conductive pattern formed on the PCB and functioning as at least part of an antenna radiator. For example, the antenna (640) may include a chip antenna.

[0071] FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the head-wearing electronic device when the temples are unfolded. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the head-wearing electronic device when the temples are folded. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the head-wearing electronic device when the temples are folded.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 7, the antenna (640) may be designed to move relative to the second temple (417-2) so as to move closer to the second frame (or rim) (411-2) when the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotation direction (R1) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, when the second temple (417-2) is rotated in the first rotation direction (R1), the antenna (640) may be moved in a first direction (D1).

[0073] The degree to which the antenna (640) moves in the first direction (D1) during the process of unfolding the second temple (417-2) can be adjusted. For example, when the second temple (417-2) is fully unfolded relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2), a portion of the antenna (640) may pass the end portion of the second temple (417-2) adjacent to the second frame (or rim) (411-2) and at least a portion of it may be located on the second frame (or rim) (411-2). Additionally, if the second temple (417-2) is extended beyond a specified degree even before it is fully extended relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2), a portion of the antenna (640) may be positioned on the second frame (or rim) (411-2) by passing the end portion of the second temple (417-2) adjacent to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0074] Referring to FIG. 8, rotational movement of the first frame (or rim) (411-1) of the first temple (417-1) can be performed by the first hinge structure (810-1). Rotational movement of the second frame (or rim) (411-2) of the second temple (417-2) can be performed by the second hinge structure (810-2).

[0075] Referring to FIG. 9, the second hinge structure (810-2) may include a first part (912) connected to a second frame (or rim) (411-2), a second part (914) connected to a second temple (417-2), and a hinge drive shaft (916) passing through the first part (912) and the second part (914). The first hinge structure (810-1) may include substantially the same configuration as the second hinge structure (810-2).

[0076] The antenna (640) may be designed to move away from the second frame (or rim) (411-2) when the second temple (417-2) rotates in a second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, when the second temple (417-2) rotates in the second rotation direction (R2), the antenna (640) may be moved in a second direction (D2), which is opposite to the first direction (D1).

[0077] The degree to which the antenna (640) moves in the second direction (D2) during the process of folding the second temple (417-2) can be adjusted. For example, when the second temple (417-2) is completely folded with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2), the antenna (640) can be positioned only on the second temple (417-2). Additionally, even before the second temple (417-2) is completely folded with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2), if it is folded beyond a specified amount, the antenna (640) can be positioned only on the second temple (417-2).

[0078] Although not illustrated, the antenna (640) may be implemented to move from the first temple (417-1). When the antenna (640) moves from the first temple (417-1), the antenna (640) may be designed to move relative to the first temple (417-1) so as to move closer to the first frame (or rim) (411-1) when the first temple (417-1) rotates in the third rotation direction (R3) relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1). For example, when the first temple (417-1) rotates in the third rotation direction (R3), the antenna (640) may be made to move in the first direction (D1).

[0079] Conversely, the antenna (640) may be designed to move away from the first frame (or rim) (411-1) relative to the first temple (417-1) when the first temple (417-1) rotates in the fourth rotation direction (R4) relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1). For example, when the first temple (417-1) rotates in the fourth rotation direction (R4), the antenna (640) may be moved in the second direction (D2), which is the opposite direction of the first direction (D1).

[0080] The degree to which the antenna (640) moves in the first direction (D1) can be controlled during the process of unfolding the first temple (417-1). For example, when the first temple (417-1) is fully unfolded relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1), at least a portion of the antenna (640) may be positioned on the first frame (or rim) (411-1), passing the end portion of the first temple (417-1) adjacent to the first frame (or rim) (411-1). Additionally, even before the first temple (417-1) is fully extended relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1), if it is extended beyond a specified degree, a part of the antenna (640) may be positioned on the first frame (or rim) (411-1) by passing the end of the first temple (417-1) adjacent to the first frame (or rim) (411-1).

[0081] Conversely, the degree to which the antenna (640) moves in the second direction (D2) during the folding process of the first temple (417-1) can be adjusted. For example, when the first temple (417-1) is completely folded relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1), the antenna (640) may be positioned only on the first temple (417-1). Additionally, even before the first temple (417-1) is completely folded relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1), if it is folded beyond a specified amount, the antenna (640) may be positioned only on the first temple (417-1).

[0082] Figure 10 illustrates the structure of a head-worn electronic device that moves an antenna.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 10, the structure of a head-worn electronic device (401) for moving an antenna may include a second hinge structure (810-2), a rail (1000), a sliding member (1002), a spring (1005), and a wire (1010).

[0084] In one embodiment, the second hinge structure (810-2) may include a first part (912), a second part (914), and a hinge drive shaft (916). A portion of the wire (1010) may be wound around the first part (912) of the second hinge structure (810-2). The first part (912) and / or the second part (914) of the second hinge structure (810-2) may have a recess to prevent the wire (1010) from moving out of a designated section while being wound and unwound. At least a portion of the wire (1010) may be set to be received in at least a portion of the recess formed in the first part (912) and / or the second part (914). The hinge drive shaft (916) can limit the translational movement of the first part (912) and the second part (914) and provide space for rotational movement.

[0085] In one embodiment, the rail (1000) may provide a movement path for an antenna (640) that moves relative to a first temple (417-1) or a second temple (417-2). The rail (1000) may be supported by the first temple (417-1) or the second temple (417-2), and the relative positional relationship between the rail (1000) and the first temple (417-1) or the second temple (417-2) may be maintained while the antenna (640) moves relative to the first temple (417-1) or the second temple (417-2). Multiple rails (1000) may be installed, but there is no limit to the number and they may be installed as a single unit.

[0086] In one embodiment, the sliding member (1002) is connected to the antenna (640) and can be movably connected to the rail (1000).

[0087] In one embodiment, the spring (1005) may be supported by the first temple (417-1) or the second temple (417-2). Additionally, the spring (1005) may be connected to a sliding member (1002) connected to the antenna (640) and configured to pull the sliding member (1002) in a second direction (D2). Multiple springs (1005) may be installed, but there is no limit to the number and they may be installed as a single unit.

[0088] In one embodiment, one end of the wire (1010) may be connected to a first hinge structure (810-1) or a second hinge structure (810-2), and the other end may be connected to a sliding member (1002) connected to an antenna (640). The wire (1010) may perform the function of converting the rotational movement of the first temple (417-1) or the second temple (417-2) into the movement of the antenna (640). For example, as one end of the wire (1010) is wound around or unwound from the first hinge structure (810-1) or the second hinge structure (810-2), the antenna may be moved according to the force applied to the antenna (640) connected to the other end of the wire (1010).

[0089] The structure for moving the antenna does not necessarily have to be configured to include a rail (1000), a sliding member (1002), a spring (1005), and a wire (1010), and may be implemented differently. For example, the structure for moving the antenna may include a gear set configured to move the antenna (640) according to the rotation of the first temple (417-1) relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1) or the rotation of the second temple (417-2) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, a structure for moving the antenna may include a motor (e.g., a step motor and / or an actuator) configured to move the antenna (640) based on the rotation of the first temple (417-1) relative to the first frame (or rim) (411-1) or the rotation of the second temple (417-2) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0090] FIGS. 11a and 11b illustrate a mechanism in which the antenna moves when the temple is unfolded. FIGS. 12a and 12b illustrate a mechanism in which the antenna moves when the temple is folded.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 11a, the mechanism by which the antenna moves when the temple is unfolded can be understood based on the organic coupling relationship between the antenna (640), the second hinge structure (810-2), and the wire (1010). For example, when the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotational direction (R1) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2), the wire (1010) may be at least partially wound around the second hinge structure (810-2). As the wire (1010) is wound around the second hinge structure (810-2), the antenna (640) may move in a first direction (D1) with respect to the second temple (417-2).

[0092] The spring (1005) can extend in the first direction (D1) when the antenna (640) moves in the first direction (D1) and assist in the movement of the antenna (640).

[0093] The bar (1008) may be configured to change the direction of the force acting on the wire (1010). For example, the bar (1008) may convert the pulling of the wire (1010) wound around the second hinge structure (810-2) into movement of the antenna (640) in the first direction (D1). The bar (1008) may be installed on the second temple (417-2). For example, the bar (1008) may be installed adjacent to the rail (1000) supported by the second temple (417-2). The bar (1008) may include a rotatable element. For example, the bar (1008) may include a fixed pulley.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 11b, the antenna (640) may be configured to move in a first direction (D1), which is opposite to the second direction, with respect to the second temple (417-2) as the wire (1010) is released from the second hinge structure (810-2). For example, when the part where the wire (1010) is connected to the sliding member (1002) is opposite to the part shown in FIG. 11a, the antenna (640) may move in a first direction (D1) with respect to the second temple (417-2) as the wire (1010) is released from the second hinge structure (810-2).

[0095] For example, the bar (1008) may be positioned at the part where the sliding member (1002) and the spring (1005) are connected, unlike in the illustration of FIG. 11a. For example, because the bar (1008) is positioned at the part where the sliding member (1002) and the spring (1005) are connected, unlike in the illustration of FIG. 11a, the wire (1010) may be released from the second hinge structure (810-2) when the second temple (417-2) is unfolded against the second frame (or rim) (411-2). Since the wire (1010) is released from the second hinge structure (810-2), the sliding member (1002) may be moved in the first direction (D1) by the wire (1010).

[0096] The antenna movement mechanism described above is not limited to cases where the antenna (640) moves from the second temple (417-2), and can be applied in the same way when the antenna (640) moves from the first temple (417-1).

[0097] Referring to FIG. 12a, the mechanism by which the antenna moves when the temple is folded can be understood in terms of the organic coupling relationship between the antenna (640), the second hinge structure (810-2), and the wire (1010). For example, at least a portion of the wire (1010) wound around the second hinge structure (810-2) can be unwound from the second hinge structure (810-2) when the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a second rotational direction (R2) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). As the wire (1010) is unwound from the second hinge structure (810-2), the antenna (640) can move in a second direction (D2) relative to the second temple (417-2). Additionally, when the antenna (640) moves in the second direction (D2), the spring (1005) contracts in the second direction (D2) and can assist in the movement of the antenna (640).

[0098] The bar (1008) can serve to change the direction of the force acting on the wire (1010). For example, the bar (1008) can convert the unwinding of the wire (1010) wound around the second hinge structure (810-2) into movement of the antenna (640) in the second direction (D2). The bar (1008) can be installed on the second temple (417-2). For example, the bar (1008) can be installed adjacent to the rail (1000) supported by the second temple (417-2). The bar (1008) may include a rotatable element. For example, the bar (1008) may include a fixed pulley.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 12b, the antenna (640) may be configured to move in a second direction (D2), which is opposite to the first direction, with respect to the second temple (417-2) as the wire (1010) is wound around the second hinge structure (810-2). For example, when the portion where the wire (1010) is connected to the sliding member (1002) is opposite to the portion shown in FIG. 12a, the antenna (640) may move in the second direction (D2) with respect to the second temple (417-2) as the wire (1010) is wound around the second hinge structure (810-2). For example, the bar (1008) may be located at the portion where the sliding member (1002) and the spring (1005) are connected, unlike in FIG. 12a. For example, unlike in the illustration of FIG. 12a, since the bar (1008) is located at the part where the sliding member (1002) and the spring (1005) are connected, the wire (1010) can be wound around the second hinge structure (810-2) when the second temple (417-2) is folded against the second frame (or rim) (411-2). Since the wire (1010) is wound around the second hinge structure (810-2), the sliding member (1002) can be moved in the second direction (D2) by the wire (1010).

[0100] The antenna movement mechanism described above is not limited to cases where the antenna (640) moves from the second temple (417-2), and can be applied in the same way when the antenna (640) moves from the first temple (417-1).

[0101] FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate the arrangement of the printed circuit board and antenna within the temple when the temple is unfolded.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 13, the second temple (417-2) may include a printed circuit board (440) inside and a connecting member (1310) connecting the printed circuit board (440) and the antenna (640). The shape of the connecting member (1310) may be deformed as the antenna (640) moves in a first direction (D1). The structure of the printed circuit board (440) and the connecting member (1310) will be described later with reference to FIG. 14.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 14, the printed circuit board (440) may include a wireless communication circuit (1412). For example, the wireless communication circuit (1412) may be placed on the printed circuit board (440). The wireless communication circuit (1412) may be electrically connected to an antenna (640) through a connecting member (1310). The wireless communication circuit (1412) may transmit and / or receive an RF signal through the antenna (640). For example, the wireless communication circuit (1412) may transmit an RF signal to an external device (203) and / or receive an RF signal from an external device (203) using the antenna (640).

[0104] In one embodiment, the connecting member (1310) may have a flexible structure. For example, the connecting member (1310) may have a structure that unfolds when the antenna (640) moves in the first direction (D1).

[0105] FIGS. 15 and 16 illustrate the arrangement of the printed circuit board and antenna within the temple when the temple is folded.

[0106] Referring to FIG. 15, the second temple (417-2) may include a printed circuit board (440) inside and a connecting member (1310) connecting the printed circuit board (440) and the antenna (640). The shape of the connecting member (1310) may be deformed as the antenna (640) moves in a second direction (D2). The structure of the printed circuit board (440) and the connecting member (1310) will be described later with reference to FIG. 15.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 16, the printed circuit board (440) may include a wireless communication circuit (1412). For example, the wireless communication circuit (1412) may be placed on the printed circuit board (440). The wireless communication circuit (1412) may be electrically connected to an antenna (640) through a connecting member (1310). The wireless communication circuit (1412) may transmit and / or receive an RF signal through the antenna (640). For example, the wireless communication circuit (1412) may transmit an RF signal to an external device (203) and / or receive an RF signal from an external device (203) using the antenna (640).

[0108] In one embodiment, the connecting member (1310) may have a flexible structure. For example, the connecting member (1310) may have a structure that bends when the antenna (640) moves in the second direction (D2).

[0109] Although not illustrated, when the antenna (640) moves from the first temple (417-1), the first temple (417-1) may include a printed circuit board (440) and a connecting member (1310). Inside the second temple (417-2), there may be a guide line capable of guiding the movement of the connecting member (1310). For example, the guide line may be a groove in which at least a portion of the connecting member (1310) can be embedded.

[0110] Additionally, although not illustrated, the wireless communication circuit (1412) may be placed on the printed circuit board (440) and another printed circuit board. For example, the other printed circuit board may be located on the antenna (640). The other printed circuit board may include a conductive pad (1720) formed therein.

[0111] FIG. 17 illustrates a method for identifying the unfolding of a temple using an interface connecting an antenna and a processor. FIG. 18 illustrates a method for identifying the folding of a temple using an interface connecting an antenna and a processor.

[0112] Referring to FIG. 17, the process of identifying the unfolding of the temple can be performed through a processor (1700), an interface (1710), and a conductive pad (1720) included in an antenna (640). Additionally, the interface (1710) may include a circuit. The disconnection between the interface (1710) and the conductive pad (1720) due to the movement of the antenna (640) can be recognized as a first signal indicating the conductive pad (1720) disconnected from the interface (1710). The processor (1700) can receive the first signal through the interface (1710).

[0113] Referring to FIG. 18, the state in which the antenna (640) does not move and a connection is established between the interface (1710) and the challenge pad (1720) can be recognized as a second signal. The processor (1700) can receive the second signal through the interface (1710).

[0114] Although not illustrated, the head-wearing electronic device (401) may include a memory that stores instructions and includes one or more storage media. When the instructions are executed individually or collectively by the processor, the head-wearing electronic device (401) may cause the wireless communication circuit (1412) to control based on a first signal or a second signal.

[0115] FIG. 19 illustrates how a method for identifying the unfolding of a temple is implemented within the temple.

[0116] Referring to FIG. 19, a conductive pad (1720) may be formed on the antenna (640). For example, the conductive pad (1720) may be formed on the inner surface of the antenna (640) so as not to be exposed to the outside. Additionally, the conductive pad (1720) may include a conductive member and / or a conductive pattern.

[0117] The challenge pad (1720) can move in a first direction (D1) when the temple is unfolded. For example, the challenge pad (1720) included in the antenna (640) can move in a first direction (D1) when the second temple (417-2) is unfolded. An interface (e.g., the interface (1710) of FIG. 17) can be located on the inner surface of the second temple (417-2). For example, the interface (1710) can be located on the inner surface of the second temple (417-2) such that one end of the circuit included in the interface (1710) is connected to a processor (1700) placed on the printed circuit board (440), and the other end overlaps with at least a part of the antenna (640). The connection between the interface (1710) and the challenge pad (1720) can be released by moving the challenge pad (1720) in the first direction (D1).

[0118] FIG. 20 illustrates a method for identifying the folding of a temple being implemented within the temple.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 20, the conductive pad (1720) can move in a second direction (D2) when the temple is folded. For example, the conductive pad (1720) included in the antenna (640) can move in a second direction (D2) when the second temple (417-2) is folded. In other words, by moving the conductive pad (1720) in the second direction (D2), a connection between the conductive pad (1720) and an interface (e.g., interface (1710) of FIG. 17) located between the printed circuit board (440) and the antenna (640) can be established.

[0120] FIGS. 21 and FIGS. 22 are flowcharts illustrating a method for adjusting transmission power according to a received signal.

[0121] Referring to FIG. 21, in operation 2100, the processor (1700) can receive a signal. The signal may be a first signal or a second signal.

[0122] For example, the first signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotation direction (R1) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, the first signal may be received through an interface (e.g., including a circuit) connecting a processor to a conductive pad (1720) that moves together with the antenna (640). For example, the first signal may be received from a sensor circuit that is spaced apart from the antenna (640) and is available to identify the relative positional relationship between the second frame (or rim) (411-2) and the second temple (417-2). The sensor circuit may be configured to detect a magnetic field (e.g., a Hall sensor).

[0123] For example, the second signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0124] In operation 2105, the processor (1700) can identify whether the signal received in operation 2100 is the first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can identify that the signal is the first signal or that the signal is the second signal depending on the value represented by the received signal. For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the first signal based on the identification that the value is the first value (e.g., high). For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the second signal based on the identification that the value is the second value (e.g., low).

[0125] In operation 2105, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is the first signal, it may perform operation 2110. Alternatively, in operation 2105, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is not the first signal, it may perform operation 2115.

[0126] In operation 2110, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with a first transmission power based on identifying that the received signal is a first signal. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with the first transmission power. For example, the first transmission power may mean a transmission power in a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved.

[0127] In operation 2115, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with a second transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with the second transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be lower than the first transmission power.

[0128] As described above, the head-worn electronic device can adjust the transmission power by identifying a signal received through an interface. Through this adjustment, the head-worn electronic device can enhance throughput.

[0129] Referring to FIG. 22, in operation 2200, the processor (1700) can receive a signal. The signal may be a first signal or a second signal.

[0130] For example, the first signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotation direction (R1) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, the first signal may be received through an interface (e.g., including a circuit) connecting a processor to a conductive pad (1720) that moves together with the antenna (640). For example, the first signal may be received from a sensor circuit that is spaced apart from the antenna (640) and is available to identify the relative positional relationship between the second frame (or rim) (411-2) and the second temple (417-2). The sensor circuit may be configured to detect a magnetic field (e.g., a Hall sensor).

[0131] For example, the second signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0132] In operation 2205, the processor (1700) can identify whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition when receiving a first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of an RF signal being transmitted through the antenna (640) satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of data transmitted using the RF signal satisfies a reference condition.

[0133] In operation 2205, the processor (1700) may perform operation 2210 if it identifies that the throughput satisfies the reference condition. Alternatively, in operation 2005, the processor (1700) may perform operation 2215 if it identifies that the throughput does not satisfy the reference condition.

[0134] In operation 2210, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at a first transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power. For example, the first transmission power may mean a transmission power in a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved, while also satisfying the throughput reference condition.

[0135] In operation 2215, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can adjust the transmission power of an RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from a first transmission power to a second transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the second transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power and lower than or equal to the maximum transmission power value that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved.

[0136] FIGS. 23 and 24 are flowcharts illustrating a method for adjusting transmission power based on received signals and throughput.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 23, in operation 2300, the processor (1700) can receive a signal. The signal may be a first signal or a second signal.

[0138] For example, the first signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotation direction (R1) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, the first signal may be received through an interface (e.g., including a circuit) connecting a processor to a conductive pad (1720) that moves together with the antenna (640). For example, the first signal may be received from a sensor circuit that is spaced apart from the antenna (640) and is available to identify the relative positional relationship between the second frame (or rim) (411-2) and the second temple (417-2). The sensor circuit may be configured to detect a magnetic field (e.g., a Hall sensor).

[0139] For example, the second signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0140] In operation 2305, the processor (1700) can identify whether the received signal is the first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can identify that the signal is the first signal or that the signal is the second signal based on the value indicated by the received signal. For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the first signal based on the identification that the value is the first value (e.g., high). For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the second signal based on the identification that the value is the second value (e.g., low).

[0141] In operation 2305, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is the first signal, it may perform operation 2310. Alternatively, in operation 2305, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is not the first signal, it may perform operation 2115.

[0142] In operation 2310, the processor (1700) can identify whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition when receiving a first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of an RF signal being transmitted through the antenna (640) satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of data transmitted using the RF signal satisfies a reference condition.

[0143] In operation 2310, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput satisfies the reference condition, it may perform operation 2320. Alternatively, in operation 2310, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput does not satisfy the reference condition, it may perform operation 2325.

[0144] In operation 2315, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with a second transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with the second transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with the second transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be lower than the first transmission power.

[0145] In operation 2320, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at a first transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power. For example, the first transmission power may mean a transmission power in a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved, while also satisfying the throughput reference condition.

[0146] In operation 2325, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can adjust the transmission power of an RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from a first transmission power to a third transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the third transmission power. For example, the third transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power. For example, the third transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power and lower than or equal to the maximum transmission power value that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved.

[0147] Referring to FIG. 24, in operation 2400, the processor (1700) can receive a signal. The signal may be a first signal or a second signal.

[0148] For example, the first signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a first rotation direction (R1) relative to the second frame (or rim) (411-2). For example, the first signal may be received through an interface (e.g., including a circuit) connecting a processor to a conductive pad (1720) that moves together with the antenna (640). For example, the first signal may be received from a sensor circuit that is spaced apart from the antenna (640) and is available to identify the relative positional relationship between the second frame (or rim) (411-2) and the second temple (417-2). The sensor circuit may be configured to detect a magnetic field (e.g., a Hall sensor).

[0149] For example, the second signal may be described as a signal received as the second temple (417-2) is rotated in a second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the second frame (or rim) (411-2).

[0150] In operation 2405, the processor (1700) can identify whether the received signal is the first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can identify that the signal is the first signal or that the signal is the second signal based on the value indicated by the received signal. For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the first signal based on the identification that the value is the first value (e.g., high). For example, the processor can identify that the signal is the second signal based on the identification that the value is the second value (e.g., low).

[0151] In operation 2405, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is the first signal, it may perform operation 2410. Alternatively, in operation 2405, if the processor (1700) identifies that the received signal is not the first signal, it may perform operation 2415.

[0152] In operation 2410, the processor (1700) can identify whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput satisfies a reference condition when receiving a first signal. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of an RF signal being transmitted through the antenna (640) satisfies a reference condition. For example, the processor (1700) can determine whether the throughput of data transmitted using the RF signal satisfies a reference condition.

[0153] In operation 2410, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput satisfies the reference condition, it may perform operation 2420. Alternatively, in operation 2410, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput does not satisfy the reference condition, it may perform operation 2425.

[0154] In operation 2415, the processor (1700) identifying whether the throughput satisfies the reference condition corresponds to operation 2410. In operation 2415, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput does not satisfy the reference condition, it may perform operation 2425. Alternatively, in operation 2415, if the processor (1700) identifies that the throughput satisfies the reference condition, it may perform operation 2430.

[0155] In operation 2420, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at a first transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power. For example, the first transmission power may mean a transmission power in a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved, while also satisfying the throughput reference condition.

[0156] In operation 2425, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can adjust the transmission power of an RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from a first transmission power to a second transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can adjust the transmission power of an RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from a first transmission power to a second transmission power under conditions where the received signal is a second signal and the throughput does not satisfy a reference condition. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can adjust the transmission power of an RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from a first transmission power to a second transmission power under conditions where the received signal is a first signal and the throughput does not satisfy a reference condition.

[0157] For example, the head-worn electronic device (401) can transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) with the second transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power. For example, the second transmission power may be greater than the first transmission power and lower than or equal to the maximum transmission power value that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved.

[0158] In operation 2430, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at a first transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can transmit the RF signal through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power. For example, the head-wearing electronic device (401) can maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power under conditions where the received signal is a second signal and the throughput satisfies a reference condition. For example, the first transmission power may mean a transmission power in a range that satisfies the specific absorption rate (SAR) regulation at the position where the antenna (640) is moved, while also satisfying the throughput reference condition.

[0159] The technical problems to be solved in this disclosure are not limited to those mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0160] According to one embodiment, a head-wearable electronic device (101; 401) may include a frame (411-1; 411-2). The electronic device (101; 401) may include a temple (417-1; 417-2) connected to the frame (411-1; 411-2) so as to be rotatable with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2) and including a communication module (1412). The electronic device (101; 401) may include a hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) rotatably connecting the frame (411-1; 411-2) and the temple (417-1; 417-2). The electronic device (101;401) may include an antenna (640) that is positioned outside the temple (417-1;417-2), is movable relative to the temple (417-1;417-2), and is electrically coupled to the communication module (1412). The antenna (640) may be moved closer to the frame (411-1;411-2) relative to the temple (417-1;417-2) which is rotated in a first rotational direction (R1) relative to the frame (411-1;411-2), and moved away from the frame (411-1;411-2) relative to the temple (417-1;417-2) which is rotated in a second rotational direction (R2) opposite to the first rotational direction (R1) relative to the frame (411-1;411-2).

[0161] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a wire (1010) connected to the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) and directly or indirectly connected to the antenna (640). The wire (1010) may be wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) or unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) depending on the direction in which the temple (417-1; 417-2) rotates relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). The antenna (640) can be moved according to the force applied to the antenna (640) connected to the wire (1010) when the wire (1010) is wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) or unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2).

[0162] In one embodiment, the wire (1010) may be at least partially wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the first rotational direction (R1) with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). At least a portion of the wire (1010) wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) can be released from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the second rotation direction (R2) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). The antenna (640) can be moved closer to the frame (411-1; 411-2) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) by moving in a first direction (D1) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) as the wire (1010) is wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2), and the second rotation with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2) by moving in a second direction (D2) opposite to the first direction (D1) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) as the wire (1010) is unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2), and the second rotation with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2) The temple (417-1; 417-2) rotated in the direction (R2) can be moved away from the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0163] In one embodiment, the first direction (D1) may be a direction toward the end portion of the temple (417-1; 417-2) adjacent to the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0164] In one embodiment, the wire (1010) may be at least partially wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the first rotational direction (R1) with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). At least a portion of the wire (1010) wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) can be released from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the second rotation direction (R2) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). The antenna (640) moves in a first direction (D1) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) as the wire (1010) is released from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2), thereby moving closer to the frame (411-1; 411-2) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) which is rotated in the first rotation direction (R1) with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2), and moves in a second direction (D2) opposite to the first direction (D1) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) as the wire (1010) is wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2), thereby moving closer to the frame (411-1; 411-2) with respect to the second rotation with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2). The temple (417-1; 417-2) rotated in the direction (R2) can be moved away from the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0167] In one embodiment, a rail (1000) movably coupled to the antenna (640) may be included to provide a movement path for the antenna (640) which is supported by the temple (417-1; 417-2) and moved relative to the temple (417-1; 417-2). The relative positional relationship between the temple (417-1; 417-2) and the rail (1000) may be maintained while the antenna (640) is moved relative to the temple (417-1; 417-2).

[0168] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a spring (1005) that is movably disposed on the rail (1000), supported by a sliding member (1002) connected to the antenna (640) and a temple (417-1; 417-2), and configured to pull the sliding member (1002) connected to the antenna (640) in a second direction (D2). The second direction (D2) may be the opposite direction to the direction toward the end portion of the temple (417-1; 417-2) adjacent to the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0169] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a gear set configured to move the antenna (640) according to the rotation of the temple (417-1; 417-2) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0170] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101;401) may include an actuator configured to move the antenna (640) based on the rotation of the temple (417-1; 417-2) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0171] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a printed circuit board (440) disposed within the temple (417-1; 417-2). The communication module (1412) may be disposed on the printed circuit board (440). The electronic device (101; 401) may include a connecting member (1310) electrically connected to the printed circuit board (440) and the antenna (640) in order to electrically connect the communication module (1412) to the antenna (640). The above connecting member (1310) may unfold when the antenna (640) moves closer to the frame (411-1; 411-2) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) which is rotated in the first rotation direction (R1) with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2), or may bend when the antenna (640) moves away from the frame (411-1; 411-2) with respect to the temple (417-1; 417-2) which is rotated in the second rotation direction (R2) with respect to the frame (411-1; 411-2).

[0172] In one embodiment, when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is unfolded relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2), a part of the antenna (640) may be located on the frame (411-1; 411-2), and another part of the antenna (640) may be located on the temple (417-1; 417-2).

[0173] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a communication module (1412), a memory that stores instructions and includes one or more storage media, at least one processor (1700) that includes a processing circuit, and an interface (1710) that connects the processor (1700) to the antenna (640). The above instructions, when executed individually or collectively by the processor (1700), identify that the temple (417-1; 417-2) and the frame (411-1; 411-2) are unfolded based on a first signal received from the antenna (640) through the interface (1710), as the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the first rotation direction (R1) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2), and control the communication module (1412) to transmit an RF (radio frequency) signal through the antenna (640) with a first transmission power based on identifying that the temple (417-1; 417-2) and the frame (411-1; 411-2) are unfolded based on a first signal received from the antenna (640) through the interface (1710), and the As the temple (417-1; 417-2) is rotated in the second rotation direction (R2) relative to the frame (411-1; 411-2), the temple (417-1; 417-2) and the frame (411-1; 411-2) are folded, and based on identifying the folded temple (417-1; 417-2) and the frame (411-1; 411-2), the head-wearing electronic device (101; 401) may be caused to control the communication module (1412) to transmit an RF signal through the antenna (640) at a second transmission power lower than the first transmission power.

[0174] In one embodiment, the instructions may cause the head-wearing electronic device (101; 401) to control the communication module (1412) to maintain the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) at the first transmission power, in response to the determination that the throughput of the RF signal being transmitted at the first transmission power satisfies a reference condition when executed individually or collectively by the processor (1700).

[0175] In one embodiment, the instructions may cause the head-wearing electronic device (101; 401) to control the communication module (1412) to adjust the transmission power of the RF signal transmitted through the antenna (640) from the first transmission power to a third transmission power greater than the first transmission power, in response to the determination that the throughput does not satisfy the reference condition when executed individually or collectively by the processor (1700).

The antenna (640) can move in the first direction (D1) while the temple (417-1; 417-2) is unfolded relative to the rim (411-1; 411-2), and can move in the second direction (D2) while the temple (417-1; 417-2) is folded relative to the rim (411-1; 411-2).

[0177] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101; 401) may include a hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) that rotatably connects the rim (411-1; 411-2) and the temple (417-1; 417-2), and a wire (1010) connected to the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) and connected to the antenna (640). The wire (1010) may be wound around or unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) depending on the direction in which the temple (417-1; 417-2) rotates relative to the rim (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). The antenna (640) may be moved according to the force applied to the antenna (640) connected to the wire (1010) when the wire (1010) is wound around or unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2).

[0178] In one embodiment, the wire (1010) may be at least partially wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is unfolded against the rim (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2). At least a portion of the wire (1010) wound around the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) may be unwound from the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2) when the temple (417-1; 417-2) is folded against the rim (411-1; 411-2) through the hinge structure (810-1; 810-2).
