Abstract:
A personal advisor system using a data-capable band including a personal advisor distributed application comprising a feedback engine configured to process user activity data from a source device, the source device comprising at least one data-capable band; a recommendation module configured to generate a wellness recommendation using the user activity data; a personal offer module configured to generate a personal wellness offer using the user activity data; and a notification module configured to generate a feedback notification comprising one or more of the wellness recommendation and the personal wellness offer. The feedback engine is operable to communicate the feedback notification to the source device, if the source device is active, or to a non-source device upon request from the non-source device.
Abstract:
Techniques for wearable device data security are described, including receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable device, each of the one or more sensors being configured to measure one or more parameters, processing the input to determine a pattern, referencing a pattern library using the pattern to identify a signature, and transforming the signature into data to be transmitted to a device in data communication with the wearable device and configured to perform a function if the data is authenticated.
Abstract:
Techniques associated with a combination speaker and light source ("speaker-light device") responsive to states of an organism based on sensor data are described, including generating chemical sensor data in response to one or more chemicals sensed by one or more chemical sensors in the same or different speaker-light devices. A scent generator may be activated to counter an odor caused by a chemical detected by the chemical sensor(s). The speaker-light device may activate an air mover operative to circulate ambient air over the chemical sensor. The speaker-light device may take an appropriate action in response to detected chemicals that affect states of the organism. Some or all of the actions taken may be taken by other devices in communication with the speaker-light device(s). An action may include generating and presenting a path or route to be taken by a user to an area of safety or reduced chemical concentration.
