Abstract

Techniques for data-capable band management in an integrated application and network communication data environment are described, including receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device, processing the input to generate a control signal, the control signal being configured to initiate execution of one or more operations of a device in data communication with the wearable computing device, and initiating a data communication protocol, the data communication protocol being configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

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

processing the input to generate a control signal, the control signal being configured to initiate execution of one or more operations of a device in data communication with the wearable computing device; and

initiating a data communication protocol, the data communication protocol being configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication protocol is a wireless data communication protocol.

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

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

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

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

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the device is another wearable computing device.

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

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the control signal is transmitted from an antenna housed on the wearable computing device, the antenna having contact with an exterior of the wearable computing device.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting an interface on the device, the interface being configured to display information associated with the control signal.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data communication protocol is configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device while another input is being received from the one or more sensors coupled to the wearable computing device.

12. A system, comprising:

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

a processor configured to process the data to generate a control signal, the control signal being configured to initiate execution of one or more operations of a device in data communication with the wearable computing device, and to initiate a data communication protocol, the data communication protocol being configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the data communication protocol is a Bluetooth data communication protocol.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the data communication protocol is a Bluetooth low energy data communication protocol.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the data communication protocol comprises initiating a RF transmission from an antenna configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the control signal is transmitted from an antenna housed on the wearable computing device, the antenna being disposed substantially within the wearable computing device.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to display information associated with the control signal on a user interface of the device.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the data communication protocol is initiated while the wearable computing device is being worn.

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

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

processing the input to generate a control signal, the control signal being configured to initiate execution of one or more operations on a device in data communication with the wearable computing device; and

initiating a data communication protocol, the data communication protocol being configured to transmit the control signal from the wearable computing device to the device.
