## Abstract

A wearable electronic device includes: a body and a connector. The body includes a display component. A display area of the display component 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. A first communication component is disposed in the body, and is configured for the communication between the body and external devices. A second communication component independent of the first communication component is disposed in in the connector, and is configured for the communication between the connector and external devices.

## Claims

### Claim 1

when the first accommodating space is empty, the body is separated from the connector;
a first communication component is arranged in the body and is configured for communication between the body and external devices; and
a second communication component is arranged in the connector and is independent of the first communication component, the second communication component being for communication between the connector and external devices.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wearable electronic device of claim 1, wherein
the first communication component is further configured to establish a communication connection between the body and a first external device when the body is in a second accommodating space on the first external device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The wearable electronic device of claim 2, wherein the body further comprises:
a first processing component, configured to switch the body from a first operating mode to a second operating mode after the body establishes the communication connection with the first external device; and
functions that the body can perform in the second working mode is fewer than functions that the body can perform in the first operating mode.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The wearable electronic device of claim 3, wherein,
the first processing component is further configured to switch the body from the second operating mode to the first operating mode after determining that the communication connection between the body and the first external device is disconnected.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The wearable electronic device of claim 3, wherein the second communication component is further configured to establish a communication connection between the connector and a second external device when a distance between the connector and the second external device is less than a preset distance threshold.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The wearable electronic device of claim 5, wherein the second communication component comprises:
a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip, configured to simulate the connector into an NFC card, where the NFC card is configured to perform NFC between the NFC card and a card reading device.

### Claim 7

An electronic device, comprising:
a plurality of second accommodating spaces, each second accommodating space configured to accommodate a body of a wearable electronic device; and
a third communication component, configured to establish a communication connection with the body when the body is arranged in the second accommodating space.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electronic device of claim 7, further comprising:
a third processing component, configured to determine whether the communication connection between the electronic device comprising the third communication component and the body is established successfully; and
the third communication component is connected with the third processing component, and is further configured to send a first prompt message to a terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device when the communication connection between the electronic device comprising the third communication component and the body is established successfully.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein,
the third communication component is further configured to send a second prompt message different from the first prompt message to the terminal device when the communication connection between the electronic device comprising the third communication component and the body fails to be established.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein,
the third communication component is further configured to send input information received from the body to the terminal device, where the input information is determined by the body based on an input request of an input device acting on the body.

### Claim 11

A method for information processing, which is applicable to an electronic device, the method comprising:
determining whether a communication connection between the electronic device and a body of a wearable device is established successfully; and
when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, sending a first prompt message to a terminal device, wherein the electronic device comprises:

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established, sending a second prompt message different from the first prompt message to the terminal device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
receiving input information from the body, where the input information is determined by the body based on an input request of an input device acting on the body; and
sending the input information to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
determining check-in information based on a state of the communication connection between the electronic device and the body; and
sending the check-in information to a check-in system.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having stored instructions therein that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to implement the method for information processing of claim 11.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)
