1. A wearable device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
a touch-screen display; and
a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least;
detect that the wearable device is being worn by a user;
while the wearable device is in a first position with respect to the user;
maintain a backlight of the touch-screen display in an off-state; and
determine, based at least in part on sensor data from one or more sensors of the wearable device, that the wearable device has moved from the first position with respect to the user to a second position with respect to the user; and
in accordance with a determination that the wearable device has moved from the first position to the second position, transition the backlight of the touch-screen display of the wearable device to an on-state.

Abstract
A wearable device that communicates with a host device can be used to initiate a communication functionality of the host device (e.g., telephone calls, text messages). The wearable device can obtain user input indicating a recipient of the communication and in some instances content for the communication and can provide an instruction to the host device. The host device can use the indicated recipient and content to initiate communication and where applicable to send the content. Recipients and/or content can be selected from predefined lists available on the wearable device.

9. A method of operating a wearable device, comprising:
at a device with one or more sensors and a touch-screen display; while the touch-screen display is in an inactive state; detecting, with the one or more sensors, a motion characteristic of a user moving the wearable device into a viewing position; and in response to detecting the motion, activating the touch-screen display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A wearable device, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; a touch-screen display; and a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least; detect that a user is wearing the wearable device; while the wearable device is in a first position with respect to the user; maintain a backlight of the touch-screen display in an off-state; and detect an event that indicates that the user has moved the wearable device from a first position with respect to the user to a second position with respect to the user; and transition a backlight of the touch-screen display of the wearable device to an on-state in accordance with the event. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
