Abstract

Techniques for determining a state of a user using wearable devices are described, including receiving motion-related data from a first sensor and user-related data from a second sensor over a time period, determining a plurality of states of a user over the time period as a function of the motion-related data and the user-related data, determining a trend as a function of the plurality of states of the user, and displaying information associated with the trend at a user interface. The first sensor and the second sensor may be coupled to a wearable device. The user-related data may include galvanic skin response data. The information associated with the trend may be displayed at a web browser.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving motion-related data from a first sensor and user-related data from a second sensor over a time period, the first sensor and the second sensor being coupled to a wearable computing device;

determining a plurality of states of a user over the time period as a function of the motion-related data and the user-related data;

determining a trend as a function of the plurality of states of the user; and

displaying information associated with the trend at a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the plurality of states of the user over the time period is executed by a processor that is remote from the wearable computing device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the plurality of states of the user over the time period is executed using an application that is received from a marketplace.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-related data comprises galvanic skin response data.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-related data comprises temperature data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first sensor comprises an accelerometer.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the plurality of states of the user in a database.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the motion-related data and the user-related data in a database.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving environmental-related data from a third sensor that is coupled to the wearable computing device; and

determining the plurality of states of the user over the time period as a function of the motion-related data, the user-related data, and the environmental-related data.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying the information associated with the trend comprises:

displaying the information associated with the trend at a web browser.

11. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store motion-related data received from a first sensor over a time period and user-related data received from a second sensor over the time period, the first sensor and the second sensor being coupled to a wearable computing device; and

a processor configured to determine a plurality of states of a user over the time period as a function of the motion-related data and the user-related data, to determine a trend as a function of the plurality of states of the user, and to display information associated with the trend at a user interface.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is located remotely from the wearable computing device.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to determine the plurality of states of the user using an application that is received from a marketplace.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the user-related data comprises galvanic skin response data.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the first sensor comprises an accelerometer.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to display the information associated with the trend as a graphic.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to store the plurality of states of the user in a database.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to store the motion-related data and the user-related data in a database.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein:

the memory is further configured to receive environmental-related data from a third sensor that is coupled to the wearable computing device; and

the processor is further configured to determine the plurality of states of the user over the time period as a function of the motion-related data, the user-related data, and the environmental-related data.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to display the information associated with the trend at a web browser.
