Abstract

A system includes a processor; a cellular, WiFi, or Bluetooth transceiver coupled to the processor; an accelerometer or a motion sensor coupled to the processor; and a sensor coupled to the processor to sense mood, wherein text, image, sound, or video is rendered in response to the sensed mood.

Claims

1. A wearable device, comprising:

a processor;

an accelerometer to capture data regarding movement;

one or more sensors to capture data regarding one or more body vital signs;

computer code executed by the processor to generate a health analysis regarding at least one of activity, exercise, sleep, and heart rate using (i) the data regarding one or more body vital signs;

or (ii) the data regarding movement;

a WiFi or Bluetooth transceiver to communicate data via a wireless network;

computer code executed by the processor to generate display information associated with data received via the transceiver; and

a touch screen display coupled to the processor to display at least (i) the health analysis; and

(ii) the display information associated with data received via the transceiver.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the display information associated with data received via the transceiver comprises display information associated with a calendar reminder.

3. The system of claim 1, where the display information associated with data received via the transceiver comprises display information associated with a text message.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the display information associated with data received via the transceiver comprises display information associated with an email.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the display information associated with data received via the transceiver comprises display information associated with a map.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising a microphone to receive oral input.

7. The system of claim 6 further comprising code executed by the processor to convert the oral input into text, and wherein the touch screen display displays the text.

8. The system of claim 6 further comprising code executed by the processor to convert the oral input into a command for execution by the processor.

9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a speaker.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the speaker outputs an audible alert associated with data received via the transceiver.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein the transceiver receives voice data comprising at least one of voice data associated with a telephone call and voice data associated with a voicemail, and wherein the speaker outputs the voice data.

12. A wearable device, comprising:

a processor;

an accelerometer, in communication with the processor, for capturing data regarding movement;

one or more sensors, in communication with the processor, wherein the one or more sensors capture data regarding one or more body vital signs;

computer code executed by the processor to generate a health analysis regarding at least one of activity, sleep, exercise, and heart rate, using the data regarding one or more body vital signs;

a GPS sensor in communication with the processor;

a transceiver to communicate data via a wireless network connection;

computer code executed by the processor to generate display information associated with data received via the transceiver;

a vibration motor, in communication with the processor, that causes the wearable device to vibrate;

a touch screen display coupled to the processor to display at least the health analysis and the display information associated with data received via the transceiver.

15. The system of claim 12 wherein the vibration motor causes the wearable device to vibrate in response to data received via the transceiver.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the data received via the transceiver comprises data associated with a text message.

17. The system of claim 15 wherein the data received via the transceiver comprises data associated with an email message.

18. The system of claim 15 wherein the data received via the transceiver comprises data associated with a telephone call.

19. The system of claim 12 further comprising a UV monitor in communication with the processor.

20. The system of claim 12 further comprising software code, executed by the processor, to generate data regarding steps taken by a user wearing the wearable device, and wherein the touch screen display displays information associated with the data regarding steps taken by the user.

13. The system of claim further comprising a mapping application, executed by the processor.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the mapping application communicates with the GPS sensor, and wherein the mapping application displays, via the touch screen display, a location of the wearable device as determined at least in part by the GPS sensor.
