Abstract

Determinative processes for wearable devices are described, including receiving data associated with an event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device, evaluating the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device, and generating a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving data associated with an event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device;

evaluating the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device; and

generating a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the recommendation is performed by a recommendation engine in data communication with the wearable device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the recommendation engine is implemented on the wearable device.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing the state to another state stored in a memory to identify one or more recommendations associated with the event.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the state is activity-based.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the state is biological.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the state is physiological.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the state is psychological.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is graphical and implemented on the wearable device.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is implemented on another device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the recommendation is presented on the user interface, the user interface being implemented on the wearable device.

12. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store data associated with an event; and

a recommendation engine configured to receive the data associated with the event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device, to evaluate the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device, and to generate a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the event is associated with a sensory input detected by the sensor.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation engine generates a call to the memory, the call being configured to reference one or more stored states to generate the recommendation.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation receives one or more recommendations from the memory, the recommendation being selected from the one or more recommendations.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation is associated with a medical condition.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation is associated with a fitness goal.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation is associated with an award.

19. The system of claim 12, wherein the recommendation is associated with a promotion.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving data associated with an event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device;

evaluating the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device; and

generating a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.
