Abstract

Techniques for data-capable band management in an integrated application and network communication data environment are described, including receiving a first input and a second input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device, processing the first input to determine a pattern, processing the second input to determine an environmental condition, referencing the pattern against a pattern library, the pattern library indicating a threshold for the environmental condition, generating a signal indicating whether the environmental condition exceeds the threshold, and generating a control signal, the control signal configured to initiate execution of an operation if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a first input and a second input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device;

processing the first input to determine a pattern;

processing the second input to determine an environmental condition;

referencing the pattern against a pattern library, the pattern library indicating a threshold for the environmental condition;

generating a signal indicating whether the environmental condition exceeds the threshold; and

generating a control signal, the control signal configured to initiate execution of an operation if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the environmental condition comprises sound and the operation comprises providing white noise.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the operation comprises sending another control signal to a heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system in data communication with the wearable computing device, the another control signal configured to adjust a temperature.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the environmental condition comprises a time and the operation comprises providing an alarm.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the environmental condition comprises a time and the operation comprises providing a vibration.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first input comprises location data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern indicates sleep activity.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the control signal is configured to initiate execution of an operation of a device in data communication with the wearable computing device if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the control signal is configured to initiate execution of an operation of a device in wireless data communication with the wearable computing device if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the operation is performed on a device that is paired with the wearable computing device.

11. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store a first input and a second input received from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device; and

a processor configured to process the first input to determine a pattern, to process the second input to determine an environmental condition, to reference the pattern against a pattern library, the pattern library indicating a threshold for the environmental condition, to generate a signal indicating whether the environmental condition exceeds the threshold, and to generate a control signal, the control signal configured to initiate execution of an operation if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the operation comprises sending another control signal to an audio device in data communication with the wearable computing device.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the environmental condition comprises a temperature and the operation comprises adjusting a temperature.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the environmental condition comprises light and the operation comprises adjusting a lighting.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the pattern indicates physical exercise.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the first input comprises motion data.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the control signal is configured to initiate execution of an operation of a heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system in data communication with the wearable computing device if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the control signal is configured to initiate execution of an operation of a device in Bluetooth data communication with the wearable computing device if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the threshold is manually-entered.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving a first input and a second input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device;

processing the first input to determine a pattern;

processing the second input to determine an environmental condition;

referencing the pattern against a pattern library, the pattern library indicating a threshold for the environmental condition;

generating a signal indicating whether the environmental condition exceeds the threshold; and

generating a control signal, the control signal configured to initiate execution of an operation if the signal indicates the environmental condition exceeds the threshold.
