## Abstract

A wearable electronic device is provided, including a main body, a flexible member, a connecting member, and a first hinge. The connecting member is connected to the flexible member and has a hook portion. The first hinge is disposed on the main body and detachably engaged with the hook portion, such that the connecting member is pivotally connected to the main body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wearable electronic device, comprising:
a main body;
a flexible member;
a connecting member, connected to the flexible member and having a hook portion and a U-shaped recess adjacent to each other, wherein the hook portion faces toward an upper surface of the main body in a vertical direction, and the recess faces toward the flexible member in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, wherein a sidewall of the hook portion serves as a bottom of the recess;
a first hinge, disposed on the main body and detachably engaged with the hook portion, such that the connecting member is pivotally connected to the main body; and
a second hinge received in the recess, wherein the connecting member is pivotally connected to the flexible member via the second hinge.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an opening of the hook portion has a minimum width less than a diameter of the first hinge.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first hinge is pivotally received in the hook portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting member is pivotally connected to the flexible member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hook portion has two slots with a flexible structure formed therebetween for retaining the first hinge in the hook portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that provides position, velocity, or timing information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body has a tracking transmitter broadcasting a location signal or an emergency signal.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body has a button on an upper surface thereof.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the flexible member is a watchband.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting member further has a through hole with the flexible member extended therethrough.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The wearable electronic device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the flexible member is a necklace strap.
