Abstract:
Techniques for media device, application, and content management using sensory input determined from a data-capable watch band are described, including receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a data-capable strapband, processing the input to determine a pattern, referencing a pattern library using the pattern, generating a control signal to a media application, the control signal being determined based on whether the pattern matches another pattern in the pattern library, and selecting a media file configured to be presented, the media file being selected using the control signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for component protective overmolding using protective external coatings include a device having a framework configured to be worn, elements coupled to the framework, the elements including a sensor, a molding formed over a portion of the framework and at least one of the elements, the molding configured to protect the device, a plug coupled to an end of the framework configured to transfer one or more electrical signals, and a cap configured to cover the plug.
Abstract:
Techniques for component protective overmolding using protective external coatings include a device having a framework configured to be worn, a button assembly coupled to the framework, the button assembly configured to send a signal to a circuit, the button assembly including a button configured to be depressed to displace a button shaft, a button inner housing coupled to the button and the button shaft, and a button outer housing coupled to the button inner housing, a first ring configured to form a first seal disposed substantially between the button inner housing and the button shaft, a second ring configured to form a second seal disposed substantially between the button inner housing and the button outer housing, and an outer molding formed over a portion of the button assembly.
Abstract:
Techniques for a wearable device and platform for sensory input are described, including a sensor coupled to a framework having a housing having one or more moldings, the sensor being configured to sense at least one sensory input, a processor configured to transform the at least one sensory input to data during an activity in which the wearable device is worn, and a communications facility coupled to the wearable device and configured to transfer the data between the wearable device and another device during the activity, the data being configured to be presented on a user interface.
Abstract:
Techniques for component protective overmolding using protective external coatings include selectively applying a protective material substantially over one or more elements coupled to a framework configured to be worn, the elements including at least a sensor, and forming one or more moldings substantially over a subset or all of the framework, the protective material and the elements, after the protective material has been selectively applied, at least one of the one or more moldings having a protective property.
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:
A data-capable strapband is described, including techniques for monitoring co-participation in an activity using a data-capable strapband. Data associated with each co-participant's participation in the physical activity may be gathered, processed, analyzed, monitored and compared by each co-participant using data-capable strapbands. Additional devices, such as mobile communications devices, mobile computing devices, computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like, along with any available accompanying software applications, may be used in conjunction with the data-capable strapbands to further analyze the data that is gathered and presented via, for example, a server configured to provide a social networking service.
Abstract:
Determinative processes for wearable devices are described, including receiving data associated with an event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device, evaluating the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device, and generating a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.
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.
