ABSTRACT:
A wearable modular interface strap device for supporting multiple module units comprising a flexible strap with a plurality of electrically connected nodes acting as docking points to serial bus interface and mechanically connect removable modules, with the strap being10mechanically lockable in a loop by a clasp containing hub and host circuitry to enable network communication between modules and to a universal connector plug for recharging and data-exchange when the connector plug has been released from the clasp. Said strap containing a plurality of electrical wires between control circuitry and nodes and arranged to be wearable as a wristband, alternatively as a wrist device that when opened forms a curved handset with audio input and outputs at alternate ends, or arranged in a necklace configuration. Said device capable of supporting interchangeable modules such as displays, control devices, rechargeable batteries, a module with removable earpiece units, and a plurality of functional modules suitable for communication, data storage, location and environment sensing.
