Electronic device having a band and control method therefor
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a main body having a device with a controller mounted therein, the main body including a bezel disposed at an outer surface thereof, and a locking groove formed in the bezel; and
a band including;
an additional device that exchanges an electric signal with the device mounted in the main body;
an electronic circuitry to provide information related to the additional device to the device mounted in the main bodya coupling extension detachably coupled to the locking groove,wherein the coupling extension is formed to cover at least a portion of side surface regions of the bezel, andwherein the controller switches an operation mode of the device mounted in main body according to the information related to the additional device provided by the electronic circuitry when the main body and the band are coupled to each other.

Abstract
Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes: a main body mounted with an electronic unit including a controller, including a bezel disposed at the outer side thereof, and having a locking groove formed in the bezel; and a band part mounted with an additional device for exchanging an electric signal with the electronic unit and an electronic part providing information related to the additional device for the electronic unit, and including a coupling part detachably coupled to the locking groove. Here, the controller switches an operation mode of the main body according to the information related to the additional device provided by the electronic part when the main body and the band part are coupled to each other. Thus, when the band part mounted with the additional device is connected to the main body, the operation mode of the main body is automatically switched to a mode corresponding to the additional device, thereby providing convenience of use.

18. A method of controlling an electronic device comprising a main body having a device with a controller mounted therein, and a band having an additional device exchanging an electric signal with the device mounted in the main body and an electronic circuitry providing information related to the additional device to the controller, the method comprising:
-
receiving the information related to the additional device mounted on the band from the electronic circuitry when the main body and the band are coupled to each other; switching an operation mode of device mounted in the main body to a predetermined operation mode based on the information related to the additional device mounted on the band, and displaying information related to the switched operation mode on the main body, wherein switching the operation mode of the device mounted on the main body to the predetermined operation includes; switching the operation mode of the device mounted on the main body to a camera photographing mode according to camera-related information provided by the electronic circuitry to the controller when the additional device includes a camera; and switching the operation mode of the device mounted on the main body to a sports mode according to biosensor-related information provided by the electronic circuitry to the controller when the additional device includes a biosensor.
