Wearable electronic device including a shape memory material for opening, closing or adjusting strap portions of the wearable electronic device

A wearable electronic device, comprising:

• one or more straps, wherein each of the one or more straps is made of the shape memory material, which is a shape memory polymer, having a default shape, and wherein at least one strap further comprises:
• at least one input element configured to register one or more inputs;
• and
• logic configured to receive input data based the one or more inputs and to manipulate, based on the input data, each of the one or more straps to their respective default shapes by applying a current to each of a heating device configured to displace heat throughout the shape memory polymer within each of the one or more straps;
• and
• a proximity sensor configured in one end of the one or more straps, wherein the logic is further configured to remove the current from each heating device when the proximity sensor detects an opposing end of the one or more straps.

A wearable electronic device, comprising:

• logic, at least a portion of which is partially implemented in hardware, the logic configured to:
• receive input data for one or more inputs registered by one or more input elements;
• and
• manipulate a shape memory material from a deformed shape to a default shape for each of one or more straps of the wearable electronic device, wherein the shape memory material is a shape memory alloy (SMA) configured as at least one first SMA wire having a first default shape and at least one second SMA wire having a second default shape different from the first default shape, and wherein the manipulation causes a current to be separately applied, based, at least in part, on the input data, to each of the at least one first SMA wire or the at least one second SMA wire.

A wearable electronic device, comprising:

• logic, at least a portion of which is partially implemented in hardware, the logic configured to:
• receive input data for one or more inputs registered by one or more input elements;
• manipulate a shape memory material from a deformed shape to a default shape for each of one or more straps of the wearable electronic device, wherein each of the one or more straps is made of the shape memory material, which is a shape memory polymer, and wherein the manipulation causes a current to each of a heating device to displace heat throughout the shape memory polymer within each of the one or more straps;
• and
• remove the current from the heating device configured to displace heat throughout the shape memory polymer within each of the one or more straps after a predetermined period of time.
