Abstract: An electronic device base includes an upper case, a lower case, a base, a first hook component and a second hook component, a solenoid valve assembly, and a near field communication assembly. The upper case has an electronic device accommodation slot; the lower case is assembled to the upper case; the base is disposed between the upper and lower cases; the first and the second hook components are both disposed at the base. When the electronic device is placed into the electronic device accommodation slot, the first and the second hook components are forced by the electronic device to move along a first direction and a second direction, respectively, so the second hook component restricts the first hook component. The near field communication component is capable of communicating with an unlocking component and driving the solenoid valve assembly to actuate the second hook component to release the first hook component.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a first electronic component and a second electronic component. The first and second electronic components are pivoted and electrically connected to each other. A first substrate and a second substrate of the second electronic component are opposite to each other. The switch is positioned between the first substrate and the elastic member which is in movable to contact with or be away from the switch. When the first electronic component is rotated to a side of the first substrate, the magnetic member attracts the elastic member so that the elastic member is moved toward the first substrate and contacts the switch. When the first electronic component is rotated to a side of the second substrate, the magnetic member attracts the elastic member so that the elastic member is moved toward the second substrate and is disposed away from the switch.
