Abstract
An electronic device which includes a resilient piece, base plate and electronic source. The upper conductor is located on the resilient piece; the base plate is connected to the resilient piece, with a space between the two. The lower conductor is located on the base plate, and there is a crevice between the lower conductor and the upper conductor. The electronic source electrically connected to the upper conductor and the lower conductor. The sensor device is located on the base plate. Utilizing this structure, the electronic device can, based on the user'"'"'s needs, perform testing of the subject'"'"'s physiological status or test a specific site that is pressed, be used as assist for medical equipment, exercise equipment or communications facilities.

26. An electronic device comprising:
-
a resilient piece made of nonconductive and resilient material that is sufficiently elastic to cause an upper conductor, which is electrically conductive, to return to an original position after depression; a base plate made of nonconductive material, a space being provided between the resilient piece and the base plate, the base plate having a lower conductor that is electrically conductive and a side at which the lower conductor can abut the upper conductor; the resilient piece responsive to an applied force by deforming so that the upper conductor and the lower conductors electrically contact each other to switch a circuit on, and removal of the applied force allowing the resilient piece to return to the original position thereby causing the resilient piece and the base plate to separate to switch the circuit off; an intermediate layer that allows the upper and lower conductors to electrically contact, and has a non-conductive portion at one or more ends of the intermediate layer; and one or more tape, ring, clothing or apparel attachment sites around a periphery of the electronic device for directly setting the electronic device within a piece of tape, a ring, or a piece of clothing or apparel. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)

48. An electronic device comprising:
-
a resilient piece, made of nonconductive and resilient material that is sufficiently elastic to cause an upper conductor, which is electrically conductive, to return to an original position after depression; a base plate made of nonconductive material, a space being provided between the resilient piece and the base plate, the base plate having a lower conductor that is electrically conductive and a side at which the lower conductor can abut the upper conductor, the resilient piece responsive to an applied force by deforming so that the upper conductor and the lower conductor electrically contact each other to switch a circuit on; and
removal of the applied force allowing the resilient piece to return to the original position, thereby causing the resilient piece and the base plate to separate to switch the circuit off;a sensor device positioned on an opposite side of the base plate from the side of the base plate at which the lower conductor and upper conductor abut; and one or more tape, ring, clothing or apparel attachment sites around a periphery of the electronic device for directly setting the electronic device within a piece of tape, a ring, or a piece of clothing or apparel. - View Dependent Claims (49)

50. An electronic device comprising:
-
a plate-shaped upper conducting plate, which is electrically conductive; a plate-shaped lower conducting plate, which is electrically conductive; and a nonconductive material, located between the upper conducting plate and the lower conducting plate so that a space is provided between the upper conducting plate and the lower conducting plate, and the upper and lower conducting plates operatively contact each other at one or more points; wherein the non-conductive material forms an intermediate layer that allows the upper conductor and the lower conductor to electrically contact each other.
