METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLICATION OPTIMIZATION AND COLLABORATION OF WEARABLE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method associated with a mobile device and a first set of a plurality of different types of wearable devices associated with a first user to provide a first set of functionality to the first user, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the mobile device to a wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, (i) identities of wearable devices in the first set of different types of wearable devices associated with the first user, (ii) application information identifying installed applications of the first set of different types of wearable devices, and (iii) configuration information identifying customizable device and/or application configurations of the first set of different types of wearable devices;
receiving, by the mobile device from the wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, recommended application information and configuration information and utilizing, by the mobile device, the first set of different types of wearable devices in an initial application and configuration state set forth by the recommended application information and configuration information to provide the first set of functionality to the first user;
detecting, by the mobile device, one of a removal of a particular wearable device from the first set of different types of wearable devices and an addition of a new wearable device to the first set of different types of wearable device, to form a second set of a plurality of different types of wearable devices; and
automatically adjusting a set of functionality provided by the second set of different types of wearable devices to the first user in a second configuration, determined as a function of the recommended application information and configuration information or second recommended application information and configuration information received from the wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, to either avoid duplicative functionality between the new wearable device and the remaining wearable devices in the second set of wearable devices or to recover functionality lost by the removing the particular wearable device.

21. A mobile device communicatively coupled to a first set of a plurality of different types of wearable devices associated with a first user to provide a first set of functionality to the first user, the mobile device comprising:
-
a Wide Area Network (WAN) and/or a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) wireless interface communicatively coupled to a network; a Personal Area Network (PAN) wireless interface communicatively coupled to the first set of different types of wearable devices; a processor communicatively coupled to the PAN wireless interface and the WAN and/or WLAN wireless interface; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; form the PAN with the first set of different types of wearable devices via the PAN wireless interface; transmit, via the WAN and/or WLAN wireless interface, data to a wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, including (i) identities of wearable devices in the first set of different types of wearable devices associated with the first user, (ii) application information identifying installed applications of the first set of different types of wearable devices, and (iii) configuration information identifying customizable device and/or application configurations of the first set of different types of wearable devices; receive, via the WAN and/or WLAN wireless interface by the mobile device from the wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, recommended application information and configuration information and utilize, via the PAN, the first set of different types of wearable devices in an initial application and configuration state set forth by the recommended application information and configuration information to provide the first set of functionality to the first user;
p2 detect one of a removal of a particular wearable device from the first set of different types of wearable devices and an addition of a new wearable device to the first set of different types of wearable device, to form a second set of a plurality of different types of wearable devices; andautomatically adjust a set of functionality provided by the second set of different types of wearable devices to the first user in a second configuration, determined as a function of the recommended application information and configuration information or second recommended application information and configuration information received from the wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, to either avoid duplicative functionality between the new wearable device and the remaining wearable devices in the second set of wearable devices or to recover functionality lost by the removing the particular wearable device.
