Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relates generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and computing devices, and more specifically to structures and techniques for managing power generation, power consumption, and other power-related functions in a data-capable strapband. Embodiments relate to a wearable band including sensors, a controller coupled to the sensors, an energy storage device, a power port configured to receive power and control signals, and a power manager. The power manager includes at least a transitory power manager configured to control an application of power to one or more components of the wearable band in one or more power modes. The band can be configured as a wearable communications device and sensor platform.
Abstract:
A wellness system including a personal wearable data-capable band is described. In some examples; a wellness system may include an aggregation engine configured to aggregate user activity data from sources, a feedback engine configured to process the user activity data, the feedback engine operable to communicate a feedback notification to a source device including at least one of the sources, and a user interface configured to display a graphical representation associated with an aggregate value determined from the user activity data and the feedback notification. In other examples, a method using a wellness system may include receiving user activity data from sources, processing the user activity data using an aggregation engine to determine an aggregate value, generating a graphical representation using the aggregate value, and displaying the graphical representation using a user interface.
Abstract:
The various embodiments relate generally to systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods for providing audio streams to multiple listeners, and more specifically, to a system, a device, and a method for providing independent listener-specific audio streams to multiple listeners using a common audio source, such as a set of loudspeakers, and, optionally, a shared audio stream. In some embodiments, a method includes identifying a first audio stream for reception at a first region to be canceled at a second region, and generating a cancellation signal that is projected in another audio stream destined for the second region. The cancellation signal and the first audio steam are combined at the second region. Further, a compensation signal to reduce the cancellation signal at the first region can be generated.
Abstract:
Spatial and temporal vector analysis in wearable devices using sensor data are described, including evaluating a motion to determine motion signals, the motion being evaluated using data provided by one or more sensors in data communication with a wearable device, isolating motion signals into one or more motion sub-signals, determining a spatial vector and a temporal vector associated with each of the one or more motion sub-signals, and transforming the spatial vector and the temporal vector into a data structure to be used by an application configured to analyze the data structure and to generate content associated with the motion.
Abstract:
A data-capable band for medical diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment is described, including one or more sensors configured to gather data associated with diagnosis, monitoring or treatment of a medical condition, an application configured to determine the medical condition using the data gathered by the sensors, a memory configured to store the data and the application, and a notification facility configured to provide an array of notifications in relation to the monitoring and treatment of the medical conditions. The notifications may be alarms, may be designed to prompt movement, or may be associated with a drug regimen.

Abstract:
Techniques for positioning devices using motion data are described. Disclosed are techniques for receiving a portion of motion data from one or more sensors coupled to a first device, generating data representing a first displacement of a first device relative to a reference point based on the portion of motion data, and determining a position of the first device relative to a position of a second device based on the first displacement. Various operations may be performed based on the position of the first device. In some examples, an audio signal to be generated at a speaker coupled to the first device may be determined as a function of the position of the first device, and generation of the audio signal at the speaker coupled to the first device may be caused.
Abstract:
Techniques for generating summaries and action items associated with speech are described. Disclosed are techniques for presenting a first audio signal including a portion of a first audio stream at a loudspeaker, identifying data representing an audiolink associated with the first audio stream, and determining data representing a cue and data representing a second audio stream associated with the audiolink. A second audio signal including the cue may be presented, and a third audio signal including a portion of the second audio stream may be presented at the loudspeaker.
Abstract:
Techniques for generating summaries and action items associated with speech are described. Disclosed are techniques for receiving data representing an audio signal including speech, determining one or more words associated with the speech, determining one or more vocal fingerprints associated with the speech, and identifying a keyword associated with the speech using the one or more words and the one or more vocal fingerprints. Presentation of the keyword may be made at a loudspeaker, a display, another user interface, and the like. A summary, including meta-data and a content summary, may be generated from one or more keywords, and the summary may be presented to a user.
