WIRELESS ENABLED CAP FOR DATA-CAPABLE BAND
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a data capable band including a sensor, the band operative to capture sensor data;
a plug coupled with the band, the plug operative to electrically couple the sensor data with another device having a socket operative to receive the plug;
a housing removeably coupled with the band and including a cavity operative to house the plug; and
a microchip coupled with the housing, the microchip operative to communicate stored data in accordance with one or more a short-range wireless communication standards and/or protocols.

Abstract
A data-capable band including a wirelessly enabled housing may include a sensor operative to capture sensor data, a plug coupled with the band and operative to send the sensor data to another device having a structure configured to receive the plug, the housing operative to be removeably coupled with the band and including a cavity operative to house the plug, and a microchip disposed within the housing and operative to electrically communicate stored data in accordance with a short-range communication standard (e.g., one or more wireless communication standards and/or protocols). The housing may comprise a cap or cap-like structure. The housing may include an antenna electrically coupled with the microchip. The microchip may be passive and may include circuitry to passively receive electrical power from an external source other than circuitry in the band (e.g., an externally generated RF signal electrically coupled with the microchip through one or more antennas).
