    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention involves parental or master control of a child or subordinate mobile phone without service provider intervention. An embodiment of the invention is a system and method relating to master control of the subordinate smart phone using features on the smart phones, and independent of features provided by the phone service providers. Communication between the master and subordinate phones may be initiated using near field communication, Bluetooth, direct connect to a PC, or by other secure, local wireless or wired connections. Once initiated, desired communication events are captured by the parental control application to effect control policies on the subordinate phone. Communication between the phones may be encrypted to prevent malicious intervention of message traffic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Wearable electronic device technology is disclosed. In an example, a wearable electronic device can include a handling portion that facilitates donning the wearable electronic device on a user. The wearable electronic device can also include a user authentication sensor associated with the handling portion and configured to sense a biometric characteristic of the user while the user is donning the wearable electronic device. In addition, the wearable electronic device can include a security module to determine whether the sensed biometric characteristic indicates an authorized user of the wearable electronic device.
