Low-power Wireless Content Communication between Devices
First Claim
1. A device for controlling transfer of content over a low power wireless communication connection, the device comprising:
- a transfer manager module configured to;
initiate a transfer of content to a wearable device over the low power wireless communication connection to support playback of the content at the wearable device, the low power wireless communication connection not having sufficient bandwidth to support streaming of the content in an amount sufficient to support real time playback of the content at the wearable device;
manage the transfer of a plurality of portions of the content to the wearable device over the low power wireless communication connection in which individual ones of the plurality of portions are transferred from one or more computing devices responsive to availability of the low power wireless communication connection with the one or more computing devices; and
cause the plurality of portions of the content to be stored locally at the wearable device.

Abstract
Low-power wireless content communication techniques between devices are described. In one or more implementations, a method is described of controlling transfer of content to a wearable device from one or more computing devices over a lower power wireless communication connection. The method includes initiating a transfer of content to the wearable device over the lower power wireless communication connection to support playback of the content at the wearable device, in which the low power wireless communication connection does not support streaming of the content in an amount sufficient to support real time playback of the content at the wearable device. The transfer is managed of a plurality of portions of the content to the wearable device over the lower power wireless communication connection in which individual ones of the plurality of portions are transferred from the one or more computing device responsive to availability of the lower power wireless communication connection with the one or more computing devices. The plurality of portions of the content are caused to be stored locally at the wearable device.

12. A method of controlling transfer of content to a wearable device from one or more computing devices over a low power wireless communication connection, the method comprising:
-
forming the low power wireless communication connection between the one or more computing devices and the wearable device, the wearable device including a housing configured to be worn by a user, the low power wireless communication connection incapable of supporting a streaming of the content in an amount sufficient to support real time playback of the content by an output device secured to the housing of the wearable device; managing transfer of a plurality of portions of the content to the wearable device over the low power wireless communication connection in which individual ones of the plurality of portions are transferred from the one or more computing devices; and ceasing the transfer responsive to a determination that the wearable device is outside a range of the one or more computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a memory device configured to store a plurality of portions of content; and a transfer manager module configured to; support a transfer of the plurality of portions of the content between one or more computing devices and a wearable device via a low power wireless communication connection that does not support streaming of the content in an amount sufficient to support real time playback of the content by the wearable device; and manage how at least one of the wearable device or the one or more computing devices is configured to control transfer of the plurality of portions of the content to the wearable device over the low power wireless communication connection responsive to availability of the low power wireless communication connection as determined by detection of a user login through the one or more computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
