Abstract

A module houses electronic circuitry that comprises a first electrically conductive surface area and a second electrically conductive surface. The first and second electrically conductive surfaces combine to form a substantially token-shaped body. The body has a groove positioned around its perimeter. A probe that has a first end and a second end. A conductive, approximately pointed tip that extends from the first end of the probe and a conductive sleeve extends outward from pointed tip from a location proximate to said first end to a second distance. A first electrical connection contacts the tip and extends from the first end through the probe out the second end. A second electrical connection contacts the sleeve and extends from the first end through the probe out from the second end. A housing that holds an electronic module. The electronic module has a first surface and a second surface. The housing comprises a first end and a second end; and a hole positioned in the first end that allows an electronic module to be inserted therethrough. An electronic module connector that is shaped to receive an electronic module comprises a first conductive surface positioned on the perimeter of the electronic module connector, the first surface raised, a second conductive surface that extends horizontally at an angle to the first surface. A bracelet for housing an electronic module that has a first conductive surface and a second conductive surface and comprises a housing to hold an electronic module so that the first and second conductive surfaces can be contacted from outside and a band that is mechanically coupled to the housing.
