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:
- utilizing the first set of different types of wearable devices in an initial application and configuration state to provide the first set of functionality to the first user, the first user being an identified first type of user associated with a particular user role;
communicating data, in a Personal Area Network (PAN), between the first set of different types of wearable devices and the mobile device associated with the first user based on the first set of functionality;
transmitting, to a wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, the (i) identified first type of user of the first user, (ii) identities of wearable devices in the first set of different types of wearable devices associated with the first user, (iii) application information identifying installed applications of the first set of different types of wearable devices providing the first set of functionality to the first user, and (iv) configuration information identifying customizable device and/or application configurations of the first set of different types of wearable devices; and
receiving, from the wearable device set application and configuration recommendation engine, recommended application information and configuration information, wherein the recommended configuration is based on crowd-sourced data of other mobile devices having a substantially identical set of different types of wearable devices and substantially identical identified first type of user.
