Abstract

An electronic device includes a contact portion that comes into contact with a ventral side of a finger and performs at least one of presenting stimulation to the finger or acquiring information from the finger. The electronic device is mounted on the finger such that a portion of the finger from a first joint to a fingertip on the ventral side of the finger is exposed except for a portion of the finger, which comes into contact with the contact portion.

Claims (40)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a contact portion that comes into contact with a ventral side of a finger and performs at least one of presenting stimulation to the finger or acquiring information from the finger,

wherein the electronic device is mounted on the finger such that a portion of the finger from a first joint to a fingertip on the ventral side of the finger is exposed except for a portion of the finger, which comes into contact with the contact portion, and the electronic device does not interfere in a plane coming into contact with the exposed portion.

2. An electronic device which is capable of being mounted on a finger such that a portion of a half or greater of an area which is from a first joint to a fingertip of the finger on the first joint side and is on a ventral side of the finger is exposed, and the electronic device does not interfere in a plane coming into contact with the exposed portion.

3. An electronic device comprising:

a device main body in which an insertion portion into which a fingertip is inserted is formed, and the insertion portion has a shape in which a tip side of an inserted finger becomes narrow and a first joint side thereof becomes wide and is formed to be interposed between substantially two surfaces straddling a nail tip; and

a contact portion that is mounted on the device main body, comes into contact with a ventral side of the inserted finger, and performs at least one of presenting stimulation to the inserted finger or acquiring information from the inserted finger,

wherein the electronic device is mounted on the finger inserted so as to cause a portion from a first joint to a fingertip on the ventral side of the inserted finger to be exposed from the device main body except for a portion of the finger, which comes into contact with the contact portion.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 ,

wherein a frontage dimension of the insertion portion in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the finger is inserted is from 4.0 mm to 8.9 mm.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 ,

wherein a frontage dimension of the insertion portion in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the finger is inserted is from 4.0 mm to 8.9 mm.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
