Abstract

In some aspects, a system is provided that includes (1) a wrist band having one or more sensors that measure biometric data of a user wearing the band; and (2) a display on the band that displays a message based on biometric data measured by the band. The message indicates a heart rate zone of the user. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a wrist band having one or more sensors that measure biometric data of a user wearing the band; and

a display on the band that displays a message based on biometric data measured by the band;

wherein the message indicates a heart rate zone of the user.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the wrist band is flexible.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the wrist band is adapted to display a color corresponding to a heart rate zone of the user.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the wrist band is adapted to communicate with a mobile device.

5. A system comprising:

a wrist band having one or more sensors that measure biometric data of a user wearing the band; and

a display on the band that displays a message based on biometric data measured by the band;

wherein the message indicates a stress level the user.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the wrist band is flexible.

7. The system of claim 5 wherein the wrist band is adapted to display a color corresponding to a stress level of the user.

8. The system of claim 5 wherein the wrist band is adapted to communicate with a mobile device.

9. A system comprising:

a wrist band having one or more sensors that measure biometric data of a user wearing the band, the wrist band adapted to;

detect at least one of a handshake, a first bump and a high five of the user; and

share information with another user in response to the detection.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band is flexible.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band includes a sensor for detecting a handshake, a first bump or a high five.

12. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band is adapted to display a color when a member of a group is near.

13. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band is adapted to communicate with a mobile device.

14. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band includes an accelerometer.

15. The system of claim 9 wherein the wrist band is adapted to communicate with another wrist band.
