<FIG> is a first structure diagram of a wearable electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the wearable electronic device includes:.

When the body <NUM> is fixed with the connector <NUM>, the body <NUM> is arranged in the accommodating space <NUM>. The connector <NUM> can form a wearing ring. When the first accommodating space <NUM> is empty, the body <NUM> is separated from the connector <NUM>.

A first communication module <NUM> is arranged in the body <NUM> and is configured for communication between the body <NUM> and external devices.

A second communication module <NUM> is arranged in the connector <NUM> and is independent of the first communication module <NUM>. The second communication module <NUM> is configured for communication between the connector <NUM> and external devices.

The wearable electronic device may be a portable electronic device that can be worn by a user or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. For example, wearable electronic devices may include: an electronic watch supported by a wrist and includes a dial and a strap, or shoes and socks supported by a foot, or an electronic device that can be worn on a leg, or glasses, helmets, headbands and others supported by a head, or smart clothing, bags, crutches, accessories, etc..

In the present disclosure, the wearable electronic device has the body <NUM> and the connector <NUM>. The body <NUM> includes the display module <NUM>. The display area of the display module <NUM> is on the surface of the body <NUM> and is configured to output the display contents. The connector <NUM> and the body <NUM> of the wearable electronic device involved in the present disclosure is connected detachably. Because there is the first accommodating space <NUM> on the connector <NUM>, the body <NUM> of the wearable electronic device during use is arranged in the first accommodating space <NUM>. In this way, the body <NUM> can be fixed on the connector <NUM>. The connector <NUM> can form a wearing ring, therefore, when the body <NUM> of the wearable electronic device is fixed on the connector <NUM>, the wearable electronic device with the body <NUM> is fixed on the user's body through the wearing ring formed by the connector <NUM>.

When the first accommodating space on the connector is empty, it means that the body is not arranged in the first accommodating space. In this case, the body of the wearable electronic device and the connector are separated. When the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, the connector can also be fixed on the user's body through the wearing ring formed by the connector.

The body <NUM> has the first communication module <NUM> for communicating with external devices, and the connector <NUM> has the second communication module <NUM> for communicating with external devices, therefore, the body <NUM> and the connector <NUM> also can communicate with external devices respectively based on the first communication module <NUM> and the second communication module <NUM> after the body <NUM> and the connector <NUM> are separated. The wearable electronic device may be a smart electronic watch. In this case, the body <NUM> of the wearable electronic device may include the dial of the smart electronic watch, while the connector <NUM> may include the strap of the smart electronic watch. <FIG> is a schematic diagram of a smart electronic watch according to an exemplary embodiment.

The wearable electronic device may also be a portable electronic device supported by the neck. In this case, the body of the wearable electronic device may be a pendant, while the connector may be a necklace that can form the wearing ring. During use, the pendant may be hung around the user's neck through the necklace that forms the wearing ring.

Taking that the wearable electronic device is a smart electronic watch as an example, <FIG> is a structure diagram of a smart electronic watch according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the smart electronic watch may include a body <NUM> and a connector <NUM>. A display screen is arranged on the surface of the body <NUM> of the smart electronic watch and is for outputting display contents. There is a first communication module arranged on the body <NUM>, and there is a second communication module arranged on the connector <NUM>. The first communication module may be a NFC module and is configured to perform NFC between the smart electronic watch and external devices. For example, the first communication modules may be a Bluetooth communication module, a ZigBee communication module, and so on. The first communication module may also be a remote communication module and is configured to perform remote communication between the smart electronic watch and external devices. For example, when the first communication module is a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication module, the body <NUM> may communicate with external devices, so as to realize data transmission.

In the case of students using smart electronic watches, since school does not allow students to use the smart electronic watches, the body of the smart electronic watch may be removed from the first accommodating space of the connector and handed over to the administrator after the student arrives at school, and the connector can continue being worn on the wrist. The connector has the second communication module for communicating with external devices, therefore, some functions of the smart electronic watch can be normally used. The administrator still can send the students' situations at school to parents through the first communication module on the body.

If a user wearing the wearable electronic device needs to enter a place with high confidentiality requirements, the user may also remove the body of the wearable electronic device from the connector, and then enter the place wearing the connector. In this way, the function of the connector can be continued on the basis of meeting the confidentiality requirements.

The first accommodating space is arranged on the connector of the wearable electronic device to place the body of the wearable electronic device. In the first aspect, the connector can form a wearing ring separately after the body is removed, therefore, the connector can be worn normally even if the body is removed from the first accommodating space on the connector. In the second aspect, the body has the first communication module, the connector has the second communication module, and the first communication module and the second communication module are independent of each other, therefore, the body and the connector can work normally as two independent parts even if the body and the connector are separated. In the third aspect, a user can decide to carry the body and/or the connector according to different application scenarios, which can improve the flexibility of using the wearable electronic device and thus improve the user experience.

The first communication module is further configured to establish a communication connection between the body and a first external device when the body is arranged in a second accommodating space on the first external device.

Since there is the first communication module arranged on the body of the wearable electronic device, when the body of the wearable electronic device is used alone, the body may be arranged in the second accommodating space of the first external device, so as to establish the communication connection between the body and the first external device. Taking that the first communication module is a Bluetooth communication module and there is a Bluetooth module arranged in the first external device, the body may be arranged in the second accommodating space of the first external device during use. In this case, a Bluetooth connection between the body and the first external device may be established based on the Bluetooth communication module of the body and the Bluetooth module of the first external device, so as to perform data transmission.

A first contact point may also be set in the second accommodating space of the first external device, and a second contact point may also be set on the body of the wearable electronic device. In this case, after the body is arranged in the second accommodating space, the first contact point may come into contact with the second contact point to form an electrical connection between the body and the first external device. After the electrical connection is formed, the data transmission between the body of the wearable electronic device and the first external device may be realized.

<FIG> is a second structure diagram of a wearable electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the wearable electronic device includes a body <NUM> and a connector <NUM>. During use, the body <NUM> may be removed from the connector <NUM> and arranged in the second accommodating space <NUM> of the first external device <NUM>, so as to establish a communication connection between the body <NUM> and the first external device <NUM>.

Still taking that the wearable electronic device is the smart electronic watch as an example. After a student hands over the body of the smart electronic watch to a administrator, the administrator may place the body of the smart electronic watch in the second accommodating space of the first external device, so as to establish a communication connection between the body and the first external device.

When the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, the body of the wearable electronic device is placed in the second accommodating space of the first external device, and a communication connection between the body and the first external device can be established based on the first communication module of the body. In this way, even if the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, the body and the first external device can communicate normally, and the flexibility of using the wearable electronic device can be improved.

The first external device may also be an attendance device or a check-in device. A second accommodating space may be set on the attendance device or the check-in device. In the implementation process, the body of the wearable electronic device may be arranged in the second accommodating space of the attendance device or the check-in device. A communication connection between the body and the attendance device or the check-in device may be established. After the communication connection is established successfully, the attendance device or the check-in device can directly acquire attendance information or check-in information. By applying the wearable devices to an attendance system or a check-in system, the efficiency of attendance recording and check-in can be improved.

The body further includes:
a first processing module, 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.

Functions that the body can perform in the second working mode are fewer than functions that the body can perform in the first operating mode.

Still taking that the wearable electronic device is the smart electronic watch as an example. After a student hands over the body of the smart electronic watch to a teacher or other administrators, the administrators may place the body of the smart electronic watch in the second accommodating space of the first external device, so as to establish the communication connection between the body and the first external device. It is needed to reduce the interference of the information received by the body of the smart watch on the student at school, therefore, it is required to switch the body of the smart watch from a normal mode (the first operating mode) to a campus mode (the second operating mode), so as to reduce the interferences of phone, SMS, Internet, entertainment and other functions on the student in class. Meanwhile, a studying function can be used normally. When the body of the wearable electronic device is in the first operating mode, the power consumption of the wearable electronic device is higher than that in the second operating mode. Since the second operating mode is a mode with low utilization, the wearable electronic device may enter the second operating mode with low power consumption from the first operating mode with high power consumption by disabling one or more functions of the body or reducing a working frequency of the body.

After the communication connection between the body and the first external device is established, the body may be switched from the first operating mode with more functions to the second operating mode with fewer functions. In this way, on the basis of ensuring the normal use of the body of the wearable electronic device, the interference of unnecessary functions on a user is reduced.

The first processing module 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.

Still taking that the wearable electronic device is the smart electronic watch as an example. When the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the first external device is disconnected, it means that an administrator has returned the body of the smart electronic watch to a student. In this case, the smart electronic watch may be switched from the second operating mode with fewer functions to the first operating mode with more functions in order to guarantee the normal use of the smart electronic watch.

After the communication connection between the body and the first external device is disconnected, the body may be automatically switched from the second operating mode with fewer functions to the first operating mode with more functions. In this way, the flexibility of using the wearable electronic device is improved while ensuring the normal use of the body of the wearable electronic device.

A power supply connection between the body and the first external device may also be established, so as to charge the body through the first external device.

The second communication module is further configured to establish the communication connection between the connector and a second external device when the distance between the connector and the second external device is less than a preset distance threshold.

A wearable electronic device includes a body and a connector. The connector and the body of the wearable electronic device is connected detachably. When the first accommodating space on the connector is empty, it means that the body is not arranged in the first accommodating space. In this case, the body of the wearable electronic device and the connector are separated. The connector has a second communication module for communicating with an external device, therefore, when the connector of the wearable electronic device is used alone, a communication connection between the connector and the second external device can be established through the second communication module. A power supply connection between the body and the second external device may also be established, so as to charge the connector through the second external device.

The second communication module may be a NFC module and may establish a communication connection between the connector and the second external device when the distance between the connector and the second external device is less than a preset distance threshold. Moreover, the connector can form a wearing ring, therefore, when the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, the connector can continue being fixed on the user's body through the wearing ring. Based on the structure of the wearable electronic device in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the connector can still be used normally when the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector.

The second communication module may include:
an NFC chip, configured to simulate the connector into an NFC card. The NFC card is configured to perform NFC between the NFC card and a card reading device.

The NFC chip is a chip configured to realize contactless data transmission between devices. Since the NFC chip is simple in structure, small in size and slice-shaped, it can be simply and conveniently embedded in the connector. During use, the connector may be simulated as a non-contact NFC card for use. The NFC chip may be connected to memory in which authentication information is stored in advance to authenticate access permission of a user. Taking that the connector is simulated as an access control card for example. Access control authentication information may be stored in the memory for authenticating whether the user has the authority to open the access control.

The NFC chip may be arranged in the connector to simulate the connector as the non-contact NFC cards for use, such as an access control card, a bank card and a bus card. During use, the connector, which is simulated as the NFC card, may be placed close to the card reading device, so as to perform NFC interaction with the card reading device. The card reading device may be equipped with an NFC card swiping system, so that the card reading device can perform NFC interaction with the connector simulated as the NFC card through the NFC card swiping system. The NFC card swiping system equipped in the card reading device may be an access control system, a payment system, a public traffic system, and so on.

For example, when the NFC card swiping system equipped in the card reading device is the access control system, the connector may be simulated as the access control card. When the NFC card swiping system equipped in the card reading device is the payment system, the connector may be simulated as the bank card. When the NFC card swiping system equipped in the card reading device is the public traffic system, the connector may be simulated as the bus card.

<FIG> is a structure diagram of a connector according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the body <NUM> and the connector <NUM> of the wearable electronic device are separated, and the connector <NUM> is equipped with the NFC chip <NUM>. <FIG> is a schematic diagram of a connector in use according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, when the connector <NUM> and the body of the wearable electronic device are separated, the connector <NUM> may form a wearing ring surrounding a user's wrist. The connector <NUM> is equipped with the NFC chip, therefore, card swiping can be performed based on the NFC chip when the connector is placed near the card reading device <NUM> during use.

The connector equipped with the NFC chip may be simulated as the NFC card that may perform near field wireless communication with the card reading device. In this way, even though the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, the connector may also be used separately.

The wearable electronic device may further include a fixer on the connector. The fixer is configured to lock a first fixing point and a second fixing point on the connector, so that the connector forms the wearing ring. The fixer may be a buckle structure.

The connector may further include a detecting module. The detecting module is configured to detect, after the connector forms the wearing ring, whether the formed wearing ring is in a separated state, and when the wearing ring is in the separated state, detect whether the duration of the wearing ring in the separated state is greater than a first preset duration. The second communication module is further configured to send a third prompt message to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device when the duration of the wearing ring in the separated state is greater than the first preset duration.

The detecting module is further configured to detect whether the first fixing point and the second fixing point on the connector are locked. When the first fixing point and the second fixing point are locked, it is determined that the connector forms the wearing ring. When the first fixing point and the second fixing point are separated, it can be determined that the wearing ring formed by the connector is in the separated state.

The detecting module is further configured to detect, after the connector forms the wearing ring, whether the connector is in an immobile state. The second communication module is further configured to send a fourth prompt message to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device when the duration of the connector in the immobile state is greater than a second preset duration.

The second communication module may also be a remote communication module, for example, a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, a Wi-Fi communication module, etc. When it is detected that the wearing ring formed by the connector is taken apart and the duration of such separation is greater than a first preset duration, a third prompt message may be automatically sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. Moreover, when the duration of the connector in the immobile state is greater than a second preset duration, a fourth prompt message may be automatically sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. In this way, when the wearing ring formed by the connector falls apart or the connector falls to the ground, a warning message can be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device timely, so that a user holding the terminal device can know that the connector is not normally worn and make corresponding countermeasures.

<FIG> is a first structure diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment not covered by the claimed invention. As shown in <FIG>, the electronic device <NUM> may include:.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to accommodate the body removed from the wearable electronic device, the plurality of second accommodating spaces <NUM> may be set on the electronic device <NUM> to accommodate the body of the wearable electronic device. The electronic device <NUM> may be the first external device in the above embodiments. After the body of the wearable electronic device is placed in the second accommodating space <NUM> of the electronic device <NUM>, the communication connection between the body and the electronic device <NUM> may be established based on the first communication module of the body and the third communication module <NUM> of the electronic device <NUM>. <FIG> is a second structure diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment not covered by the claimed invention. As shown in <FIG>, the body of the wearable electronic device is accommodated in all the second accommodating spaces of the electronic device <NUM>.

In other optional embodiments, the first contact point may also be set in the second accommodating space of the electronic device, and the second contact point may also be set on the body of the. In this case, after the body is placed in the second accommodating space, the first contact point may come into contact with the second contact point to form the electrical connection between the body and the electronic device. After the electrical connection is formed, data transmission between the body of the wearable electronic device and the electronic device may be realized.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the plurality of second accommodating spaces on the electronic device, the bodies of the plurality of wearable electronic devices may be accommodated, and the communication connection between the electronic device and each body may be established through the third communication module. In this way, the bodies of the plurality of wearable electronic devices can be controlled based on one electronic device.

In other optional embodiments, the electronic device may further include:
a third processing module, configured to determine whether the communication connection between the electronic device including the third communication module and the body is established successfully.

The third communication module, connected with the third processing module, is further configured to send a first prompt message to a terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device when a communication connection between the electronic device including the third communication module and the body is established successfully.

Whether the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully may be determined based on the third processing module of the electronic device. When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first prompt message may be either a message representing that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, or check-in information generated based on a state that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully. In the implementation process, the electronic device may send the first prompt message to the terminal device through a network, for example, by a mail and a web page link. Optionally, the electronic device may also send the first prompt message to the terminal device through SMS.

In other optional embodiments, whether the electronic device receives a connection request from the body of the wearable electronic device may be determined based on the third processing module of the electronic device. A request response may be sent to the body in response to receiving the connection request. The communication connection between the body of the wearable electronic device and the electronic device may be established in response to determining that the body receives the request response.

In another optional embodiment, when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established based on the first contact point that is set in the second accommodating space of the electronic device and the second contact point that is set on the body of the wearable electronic device, whether the first contact point comes into contact with the second contact point may be determined based on the third processing module of the electronic device. When the first contact point comes into contact with the second contact point, it can be determined that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully.

When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device based on the third communication module connected with the third processing module. Taking that the wearable electronic device is the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. Since school does not allow a student to use a smart electronic watch, the student can remove the body of the smart electronic watch from the first accommodating space of the connector and hand over the body to an administrator after arriving at school. After getting the body, the administrator may place the body in the second accommodating space of the electronic device to establish a communication connection between the body and the electronic device, so as to realize the function of sending the student's situation after the body is separated from the connector. The terminal device may be an external device that is different from the body and the electronic device. For example, the terminal device may be an electronic device held by parents for receiving and displaying information sent from the electronic device of the student.

The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a system for information processing. The system for information processing may include: the body of the wearable electronic device, the electronic device and the terminal device. In the implementation process, the body of the wearable electronic device may be arranged in the second accommodating space of the electronic device to establish the communication connection between the body and the electronic device. When the communication connection between the body and the electronic device is established successfully, the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device.

In other optional embodiments, when the body of the wearable electronic device is separated from the connector, a connection request may be sent to the electronic device based on the body. The electronic device determines whether the connection request sent by the body of the wearable electronic device is received. When the electronic device receives the connection request, the electronic device may send a request response to the body. The body may establish the communication connection with the electronic device based on the request response. When the communication connection is established successfully, the electronic device may send the first prompt message indicating the successful connection to the terminal device.

In other optional embodiments, whether a distance between the connector and the second external device is less than a preset distance threshold may also be determined. When the distance between the connector and the second external device is less than the preset distance threshold, the communication connection between the connector and the second external device is established, and the connector may communicate with the second external device.

<FIG> is a structure diagram of a system for information processing according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, the system for information processing includes: a body <NUM> of a smart electronic watch, an electronic device <NUM>, and a terminal device <NUM>. The smart electronic watch includes the body <NUM> and the connector <NUM>. During use, the body <NUM> is removed from the connector <NUM> and arranged in the second accommodating space of the electronic device <NUM> to establish a communication connection between the body <NUM> and the electronic device <NUM>. When the communication connection between the body <NUM> and the electronic device <NUM> is established successfully, the first prompt message is sent to the terminal device <NUM>.

When the communication connection between the body and the electronic device is established successfully, a first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device through the third communication module connected with the third processing module. The first prompt message may be a message representing that the communication connection between the body and the electronic device is successful. In this way, the attendance of a student may be determined based on a state of the communication connection between the body and the electronic device, and the student's situation may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device, which can not only ensure that the student obeys school rules, but also enable the parents to timely know the situation of the student at school.

The third communication module 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 including the third communication module and the body fails to be established.

The third processing module is further configured to determine at a preset time whether the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, and send the second prompt message different from the first prompt message to the terminal device when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established. The preset time may be set according to needs, for example, <NUM>:<NUM> am and <NUM>:<NUM> pm.

Still taking the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. A student's class time is fixed, the preset time may be set as the deadline for the student to attend class. If the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device is successfully established before the deadline, it means that the student arrives at school on time and has handed over the body of the smart electronic watch to the administrator. If the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device fails to be established after the deadline, it means that the student did not hand over the body of the smart electronic watch to the administrator on time. In this case, it can be determined that the student did not arrive at school on time. It is needed to send a second prompt message to the terminal device held by the parents. The second prompt message may be either a message representing that the communication connection between the body and the electronic device fails to be established, or a prompt message representing that the student fails to arrive at school on time generated based on a state that the connection between the electronic device and the body fails.

<FIG> is a first schematic diagram of interactions between an electronic device and a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, a second accommodating space A and a second accommodating space B on the electronic device <NUM> are empty, which indicates that the bodies of the smart electronic watches of the student A and the student B are not placed in the corresponding second accommodating spaces. In this case, it can be determined that the student A and the student B did not get to school on time, then the electronic device <NUM> may send prompt messages respectively to the first terminal device <NUM> bound to the smart electronic watch owned by the student A and the second terminal device <NUM> bound to the smart electronic watch owned by the student B, so as to inform the parents of the student A and the student B about their failure to arrive at school on time. The electronic device <NUM> may send the prompt messages to the first terminal device <NUM> and the second terminal device <NUM> through a Wi-Fi network.

When the communication connection between the body and the electronic device fails to be established, the second prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device through the third communication module connected with the third processing module. The second prompt message may be a prompt message representing that the student fails to arrive at school on time. In this way, the attendance of student may be determined based on the state of the communication connection between the body and the electronic device, and the student's situation may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device, which can not only ensure that the student obeys school rules, but also enable the parents to timely know the situation of the student at school.

The third communication module is further configured to send input information received from the body to the terminal device. The input information may be determined by the body based on an input request of an input device acting on the body.

Still taking the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. When the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device is established successfully, the body may send information to the electronic device. For example, the body may determine input information based on the input request received by the input device of the body, and send the input information to the electronic device. After receiving the input information, the electronic device may send the input information to the terminal device through the communication connection. The input request may be input by the input device, acting on the body, of the administrator.

<FIG> is a second schematic diagram of interactions between an electronic device and a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in <FIG>, when an administrator needs to feed back the situation of the student A at school to the parents of the student A, the administrator may input the input information to be sent through the input device of the body <NUM> of the student A placed on the electronic device <NUM>, and send the input information to the terminal device <NUM> of the parents of the student A through the electronic device <NUM>.

After the connection establishment between the body and the electronic device is established successfully, a user may send information to the electronic device based on the body and forward the information sent by the body to the terminal device through the electronic device. In this way, when a student is at school, even if the student does not wear the smart electronic watch, the parents can learn about the situation of the student at school from the administrator.

<FIG> is a flowchart of a method for information processing according to an exemplary embodiment not covered by the claimed invention. As shown in <FIG>, the method is applied to an electronic device, and may include the following operations.

At operation S1201, it is determined whether a communication connection between an electronic device and a body of a wearable device is established successfully.

At operation S1202, when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, a first prompt message is sent to a terminal device.

Whether the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully may be determined based on the third processing module of the electronic device. When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device.

The method may further include that: it is determined whether the electronic device receives the connection request from the body of the wearable electronic device; a request response is sent to the body in response to receiving the connection request; and the communication connection between the body of the wearable electronic device and the electronic device may be established in response to determining that the body receives the request response.

When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established based on a first contact point set in the second accommodating space of the electronic device and a second contact point set on the body of the wearable electronic device, whether the first contact point comes into contact with the second contact point may be determined. When the first contact point comes into contact with the second contact point, it can be determined that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully.

When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. Taking that the wearable electronic device is the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. Since school does not allow a student to use a smart electronic watch, the student may remove the body of the smart electronic watch from the first accommodating space of the connector and hand over the body to an administrator after arriving at school. After getting the body, the administrator may place the body in the second accommodating space of the electronic device to establish a communication connection between the body and the electronic device, so that the function of sending the student's situation can also be realized after the body is separated from the connector.

When the communication connection between the body and the electronic device is established successfully, a first prompt message may be sent to a terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. The first prompt message may be a message representing that the communication connection between the body and the electronic device is successful. In this way, the attendance of student may be determined based on the state of the communication connection between the body and the electronic device, and the student's situation may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device, which can not only ensure that the student obeys school rules, but also enable the parents to timely know the situation of the student at school.

The method may further include that:
when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established, a second prompt message different from the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device.

The method may further include that: it is determined at a preset time whether the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully. When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established, the second prompt message different from the first prompt message may be sent to the terminal device. The preset time may be set according to needs, for example, <NUM>:<NUM> am and <NUM>:<NUM> pm.

Still taking the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. Since the student's class time is fixed, the preset time may be set as the deadline for the student to attend class. If the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device is successfully established before the deadline, it means that the student arrived at school on time and handed over the body of the smart electronic watch to the administrator. If the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device fails to be established after the deadline, it means that the student did not handover the body of the smart electronic watch to the administrator on time. In this case, it may be determined that the student did not arrive at school on time, and it is needed to send a second prompt message to the terminal device held by the parents. The second prompt message may be either a message representing that the communication connection between the body and the electronic device fails to be established, or a prompt message representing that the student fails to arrive at school on time generated based on the state that the connection between the electronic device and the body fails.

When the communication connection between the body and the electronic device fails to be established, the second prompt message may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device. The second prompt message may be the prompt message representing that the student fails to arrive at school on time. In this way, the attendance of student may be determined based on the state of the communication connection between the body and the electronic device, and the student's situation may be sent to the terminal device bound to the wearable electronic device, which can not only ensure that the student obeys school rules, but also enable the parents to timely know the situation of the student at school.

Still taking the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. When the communication connection between the body of the smart electronic watch and the electronic device is established successfully, the body may send information to the electronic device. For example, the body may send the input information determined based on the input request of the input device acting on the body to the electronic device. After receiving the input information, the electronic device may send the received input information to the terminal device based on the communication connection. The input request may be input by the input device, acting on the body, of the administrator.

After the connection establishment between the body and the electronic device is established successfully, a user may send information to the electronic device based on the body and forward the information sent by the body to the terminal device through the electronic device. In this way, when a student is at school, even if the student does not wear the smart electronic watch, the parents can learn about the situation of the student at school.

The method may further include that:
based on the state of the communication connection between the electronic device and the body, check-in information is determined, and the check-in information is sent to the check-in system.

The state of the communication connections may include the state that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully and the state that the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established. The check-in information may be generated based on the state of the communication connection between the electronic device and the body. For example, when the communication connection between the electronic device and the body is established successfully, first check-in information may be generated, and the first check-in information may represent successful check-in. When the communication connection between the electronic device and the body fails to be established, second check-in information may be generated, and the second check-in information may represent failed check-in. After the check-in information is determined, the determined check-in information may be sent to the check-in system and stored.

Still taking the smart electronic watch used by the student for example. The check-in information of a student may be determined based on the state of connection between the electronic device and the smart electronic watch and sent to the check-in system of school. In this way, information interconnection among the smart electronic watch, the electronic device and the check-in system can be realized, and data transmission and management can be performed, so as to realize function expansion of the smart electronic watch.

Information interconnection between the wearable electronic device and the check-in system can be realized by establishing the communication connection between the body of the wearable electronic device and the electronic device, determining the check-in information based on the state of the communication connection of the communication connection, sending the check-in information to the check-in system, and taking the electronic device as a transferring device. Compared with the current manual manner of attendance management, it is more intelligent.
