    Abstract: This invention is directed to an electronic device with an embedded authentication system for restricting access to device resources. The authentication system may include one or more sensors operative to detect biometric information of a user. The sensors may be positioned in the device such that the sensors may detect appropriate biometric information as the user operates the device, without requiring the user to perform a step for providing the biometric information (e.g., embedding a fingerprint sensor in an input mechanism instead of providing a fingerprint sensor in a separate part of the device housing). In some embodiments, the authentication system may be operative to detect a visual or temporal pattern of inputs to authenticate a user. In response to authenticating, a user may access restricted files, applications (e.g., applications purchased by the user), or settings (e.g., application settings such as contacts or saved game profile).

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a lifestyle companion system are provided. The lifestyle companion system can provide a platform to conduct a user interview. Based on the user interview responses, the system can suggest activities, references, and/or plug-in modules. 5 During performance of activities, the system can provide audio and/or visual cues related to the activities and collect data indicative of the user's performance. Based on the collected data, the system can dynamically adapt the user's goals and/or activities the user is performing or will perform. In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifestyle companion system of the present invention can be applied to fitness, nutrition, and/or medical modules. The system also 10 can be used to facilitate synchronous group activities.

    Abstract: Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung stellen verschiedene Kommunikationstechniken zur Kommunikation zwischen einer mobilen Rechenvorrichtung und einer Zubehörvorrichtung bereit. Ein Zubehörvorrichtungsprotokoll, das ursprünglich in der mobilen Rechenvorrichtung enthalten ist, kann für einige Kommunikation verwendet werden. Eine Anwendung, die auf der mobilen Rechenvorrichtung ausgeführt wird, kann mit der Zubehörvorrichtung kommunizieren mit Hilfe eines Anwendungskommunikationsprotokolls. In einigen Ausführungsformen kann das Anwendungskommunikationsprotokoll sich von dem Zubehörvorrichtungskommunikationsprotokoll unterscheiden. In anderen Ausführungsformen kann das Anwendungsprotokoll nur von der Anwendung und der Zubehörvorrichtung erkannt werden. In einigen Ausführungsformen können Mitteilungen, die dem Anwendungsprotokoll entsprechen, zwischen der Anwendung und der Zubehörvorrichtung kommuniziert werden durch das Packen der Mitteilungen in eine Mitteilung, die dem Zubehörvorrichtungskommunikationsprotokoll entspricht.

    Abstract: A wireless network system can be provided with a one-way communication link for communicating a beacon signal between beacon circuitries of two electronic devices. According to information stored in the beacon signal, the device that receives the beacon signal can activate a primary communication circuitry to enable communication of primary communication data signals with a primary communication circuitry of the device that transmitted the beacon signal. The beacon circuitries of the two devices may require less power than the primary communication circuitries of the two devices.

    Abstract: This invention is directed to an electronic device with an embedded authentication system for restricting access to device resources. The authentication system may include one or more sensors operative 5 to detect biometric information of a user. The sensors may be positioned in the device such that the sensors may detect appropriate biometric information as the user operates the device, without requiring the user to perform a step for providing the biometric information (e.g., embedding a fingerprint sensor in an input 10 mechanism instead of providing a fingerprint sensor in a separate part of the device housing). In some embodiments, the authentication system may be operative to detect a visual or temporal pattern of inputs to authenticate a user. In response to authenticating, a user may access restricted files, applications (e.g., applications 15 purchased by the user), or settings (e.g., application settings such as contacts or saved game profile).
