Embodiments of a wearable computer are disclosed. The wearable computer comprises an electronic module, a central portion for housing the electronic module, a strap for wearing the portable electronic device on a body part of a user, at least one electrical energy storage device embedded within the strap, and an attachment for mechanically fastening and electrically coupling the electronic strap to the central portion. In some embodiments, the wearable computer can have a display, a means for wirelessly charging the energy storage device, different materials for the electronic strap, and a clasp means. In some embodiments, the wearable electronic device can be removably coupled to the electronic strap. This permits the wearable computer to provide a long runtime and to assume novel configurations. |

1. A wearable computer comprising:
an electronic module including:
at least one processor for processing arbitrary informations,at least one data memory for storing arbitrary data,at least one control circuitry being configured for performing predetermined functions of the wearable computer, andat least one pair of conductive, positive and negative contacts being configured as electrical power connection; a central portion for housing the electronic module therein; at least one rechargeable electrical energy storage device for providing electric power to the electronic module, said at least one energy storage device including:
at least one battery cell, andat least one pair of conductive, positive and negative contacts; a strap for mounting the wearable computer on a body part of a user, and for containing at least one electrical energy storage device therein; a fastening means for mechanically fastening the strap to the central portion, said fastening means comprising:
a first fastening means for fastening a first end of said strap to a first side of said central portion, anda second fastening means for fastening a second end of said strap to a second side of said central portion; and a coupling means for electrically coupling the strap to the central portion, said coupling means comprising:
at least one pair of cylindrical, conductive, positive and negative pins having ends, andat least one pair of complementary conductive, positive and negative insert elements,wherein the conductive pins of said at least one pair of conductive pins are arranged within said strap, insulated from each other, and electrically coupled to at least one pair of conductive, positive and negative contacts of at least one energy storage device,wherein the conductive insert elements of said at least one pair of conductive insert elements are arranged within said central portion, insulated from each other and from said central portion, and electrically coupled to at least one pair of conductive, positive and negative contacts of the electronic module, andwherein said conductive pin ends are engaging said conductive insert elements, so that said at least one electrical energy storage device being contained in said strap is conductively coupled to said electronic module being contained in said central portion. |
