Wearable Electronic Device Body Connector Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Students are often restricted from using wearable electronic devices like smart electronic watches in schools due to interference concerns, leading to parents being unable to track their children's whereabouts.
Innovation Solution
A wearable electronic device design that allows the body and connector to function independently, with the connector forming a wearing ring even when the body is removed, enabling communication and functionality without the body being present.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable electronic device is used as a complete integrated unit (body + connector), then parental tracking and communication functions are maintained, but the device cannot be used in environments where electronic devices are restricted (e.g., schools)
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable electronic device is divided into two separable parts: the body (containing display, processor, and first communication module) and the connector (containing second communication module and battery). This segmentation allows the body to be removed and stored in a storage box at restricted locations like schools, while the connector remains on the user's wrist to maintain tracking functionality through the second communication module.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage box serves as an intermediary device that establishes communication between the body and the terminal device. When the body is placed in the storage box, the storage box's communication module relays data between the body and the parent's terminal device, ensuring parental tracking capability is maintained even when the body is separated from the connector at restricted locations.
2Device complexity
If the body and connector are designed to work only when connected, then communication functionality is simplified, but the device loses flexibility in different usage scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
Both the body and connector are designed with independent communication capabilities. The body has a first communication module for communication when connected to the connector, while the connector has a second communication module for independent communication. This multi-functionality allows the device to operate in three modes: connected mode (full functionality), separated mode at restricted locations (tracking via storage box), and transitional mode during connection/disconnection.
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable electronic device transitions dynamically between different operational states: connected state (body attached to connector with full communication), separated state (body in storage box at restricted location with limited tracking), and transitional state (during connection or disconnection). The communication modules adapt their operation based on the current state, maintaining functionality across all scenarios.
3Reliability
If the body is always carried on the person, then parental tracking is maintained, but the device interferes with normal studying and teaching order in schools
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into body and connector parts that can be physically separated. At restricted locations like schools, the body can be removed from the connector and placed in the storage box, allowing the student to comply with school restrictions while the connector remains on the wrist for safety monitoring, and the body in the storage box maintains parental tracking capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The body (which contains the display and may cause distraction) is extracted from the connector and stored in the storage box at restricted locations. This extraction removes the potential source of interference with studying while maintaining the tracking function through the storage box's communication module, allowing compliance with school restrictions.

AI summary
Provided are a method for information processing, a wearable electronic device, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The wearable electronic device includes: a body and a connector. The body includes a display module. A display area of the display module is on the surface of the body and is configured to output display contents. The connector has a first accommodating space. When the body is fixed with the connector, the body is in the accommodating space. The connector can form a wearing ring. When the first accommodating space is empty, the body is separated from the connector. There is a first communication module in the body, which is used for the communication between the body and external devices. There is a second communication module independent of the first communication module in the connector, which is used for the communication between the connector and external devices.
