Abstract

Techniques for data-capable band management in an integrated application and network communication data environment are described, including detecting a signal configured to initiate a pairing function being transmitted from a wearable computing device to an application, pairing the wearable computing device to the application, establishing a data communication link between the wearable computing device and the application, and configuring the application to transfer data between the wearable computing device and the application.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

detecting a signal configured to initiate a pairing function being transmitted from a wearable computing device to an application;

pairing the wearable computing device to the application;

establishing a data communication link between the wearable computing device and the application; and

configuring the application to transfer data between the wearable computing device and the application.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal is initiated using a wireless communication facility.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal is initiated using a Bluetooth data communication protocol.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal is initiated using a Bluetooth low energy data communication protocol.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the wearable computing device is a band configured to house one or more sensors.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication link is wired.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication link is wireless.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the application is configured to transfer data with one or more data repositories having a networked connection with the application.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the application is configured to transfer data from the wearable computing device to a data repository, the data repository being locally housed with the application on a computing device.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the data is configured to update the application after being transferred over the data communication link from the wearable computing device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication link is established using Bluetooth.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication link is implemented using one or more RF signals.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal is transmitted from an antenna housed on the wearable computing device, the antenna being disposed substantially within the wearable computing device.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal is transmitted from an antenna housed on the wearable computing device, the antenna having one or more radiating elements mounted on the wearable computing device.

15. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store data received from a sensor coupled to a wearable computing device; and

a processor configured to detect a signal configured to initiate a pairing function being transmitted from the wearable computing device to an application, to pair the wearable computing device to the application, to establish a data communication link between the wearable computing device and the application, and to configure the application to transfer data between the wearable computing device and the application.
