Abstract

A system is provided for using data based on user habit information or user monitoring. A monitoring device has one or more sensors that detect or measure user information selected from of at least one of, a user'"'"'s activities, behaviors and habit information, and a user'"'"'s health. The monitoring device includes circuitry that provides at least identification of the monitoring device, a communication system which reads and transmits an identification of the monitoring device, and a pathway system. A telemetry system is provided with a database of user ID'"'"'s and is in communication with the monitoring device. A device determines a user'"'"'s melanin level at a place where the monitoring device is positioned on the user. The user'"'"'s melanin level is used with monitoring or measuring information relative to the user.

Claims

1. A system for using data utilizing a wearable apparatus, comprising:

a wearable component strap; and

an electronic component coupled to the wearable component strap, the electronic component including a payment activity manager configured to receive from a user payment configuration parameters for each of a designated third party to receive payments, the payment activity manager including a designated third party payment data base that includes designated third party settings with third party IP addresses, payment sources for each of a designated third party, and method of payment, the payment activity manager performing a comparison for each of a designated third party to receive a payment and perform a security check on that designated third party, the payment activity manager performing an authentication of a designated third party for a payment and a tracking of payments for each of a payment transaction to the one or more designated third parties including an initiation of a payment and a conclusion of a payment from the user, the electronic component including a stock activity manager associating one or more stocks of a public company, the stock activity manager configured to monitor activity of a selected stock, accept stock settings made by the user or requested by a designated party, the stock activity manager configured to manage a user instruction to buy or sell one or more stocks, and also calendar one or more notifications to the user to review one or more stocks performance, and to execute the purchase or sale of one or more stocks designated by the user.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a user health activity manager that associates one or more contexts of a user health parameter.

3. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

a feedback control system or subsystem that analyzes an activity of one or more stocks selected by the user.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the feedback control system or subsystem is at a telemetry system.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the feedback control system or subsystem is at the electronic component.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the feedback control system is standalone.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the stock activity manager communicates a feedback signal or alert to the user.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

at least one of a audio device or display at the electronic component communicate a feedback to the user.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a lifestyle parameters.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a user lifestyle event.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a battery status of the electronic component.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a pending stock transaction.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from an executed stock transaction.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from an analysis of one or stock performances.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a performance tracking over time of one or more stock performances.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from an advisory to purchase one or more stocks.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from an advisory to sell one or more stocks.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a calendaring event when to sell one or more stocks.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from a calendaring event when to purchase one or more stocks.

20. The system of claim 1, wherein a feedback signal or alert is provided to the user in response to an activity of the electronic component, the feedback signal or alert selected from an analysis of a plurality of stocks in a defined portfolio of securities.
