Abstract
A flexible wearable computer in the form of a belt comprising in combination, elements for computing comprising a microprocessor module (200), a RAM-I/O module (300), a plurality of mass memory modules (400), a power supply module (500), and a plurality of bus termination modules (100) operationally associated with a plurality of flexible signal relaying circuit (002a, 002b, 002c, 002d, 002e, 002f). The computing elements are mechanically associated with a flexible nonstretchable member (004), and a protective covering device (006). The flexible nonstretchable wearable member (004) is secured around the waist by belt latches (005a, 005b). An input and output device (060) is connected to the flexible wearable computer by the I/O bus (061) attached to the output and input ports (326), and (327) respectively.
