Abstract
The disclosed systems and mobile electronic devices may include a capsule that houses various electronic components. These systems may also include a cradle that is configured to removably couple with the capsule. Still further, these systems may include a strap connected to a first end of the cradle. The strap itself may include at least one antenna. The systems may also include a radio frequency (RF) transparent interconnect that electrically connects the antenna in the strap to at least one of the electronic components in the capsule. Various other methods of manufacturing, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.
Claims13
A system comprising:
- a removable capsule that houses one or more electronic components;
- a cradle that is configured to removably couple and uncouple with the removable capsule via a movement that includes at least one of a twist, a turn, or a rotation of the removable capsule;
- at least one strap connected to at least a first end of the cradle, the strap including at least one antenna electrically coupled with a first end of a capacitive connector;
- and
- a radio frequency (RF) transparent interconnect on the removable capsule, the RF transparent interconnect comprising an RF transparent opening through which the first end of the capacitive connector of at least one antenna in the strap forms a capacitive connection with a second end of the capacitive connector located within the removable capsule in response to the cradle being coupled with the capsule via the movement, wherein the second end is electrically connected with at least one of the electronic components within the removable capsule.
