Abstract

Systems, apparatuses and technology-based methods may provide for generating a graphic representation of a time sorted list of intents and presenting the graphic representation in a perimeter region of a watch face. In addition, a timeline associated with the graphic representation may align with an hour hand of the watch face. In one example, the graphic representation distinguishes between types of intents, shows a start time and end time of one or more intents and shows a status of one or more intents.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a display to visually present a watch face;

a wristband;

a housing coupled to the display and the wristband; and

a semiconductor chip positioned within the housing, the semiconductor chip including logic to;

generate a graphic representation of a time sorted list of different intents, and

present the graphic representation in a perimeter region of the watch face, wherein a timeline associated with the graphic representation aligns with an hour hand of the watch face.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphic representation is to distinguish between types of intents, show a start time and end time of one or more intents, show a status of one or more intents and show conflicts between intents.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the logic is to:

identify a relevant upcoming intent in the time sorted list of different intents based on a current user state and a current time,

generate a message based on the relevant upcoming intent and the current user state,

present the message in an interior region of the watch face, and

update one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on one or more of a change in user state, a change in intent or a conflict between intents.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the message is to include a recommended course of action based on the current user state and an upcoming intent.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the logic is to:

detect a gesture, and

conduct a modification of one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on the gesture.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the logic is to:

define a plurality of partition areas on the watch face; and

determine that the gesture is associated with a particular area in the plurality of partition areas, wherein the modification is conducted with respect to the particular area.

7. An apparatus comprising:

logic, implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality logic hardware, to;

generate a graphic representation of a time sorted list of different intents, and

present the graphic representation in a perimeter region of a watch face, wherein a timeline associated with the graphic representation aligns with an hour hand of the watch face.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the graphic representation is to distinguish between types of intents, show a start time and end time of one or more intents, show a status of one or more intents and show conflicts between intents.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the logic is to:

identify a relevant upcoming intent in the time sorted list of different intents based on a current user state and a current time,

generate a message based on the relevant upcoming intent and the current user state,

present the message in an interior region of the watch face, and

update one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on one or more of a change in user state, a change in intent or a conflict between intents.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the message is to include a recommended course of action based on the current user state and an upcoming intent.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the logic is to:

detect a gesture, and

conduct a modification of one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on the gesture.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the logic is to:

define a plurality of partition areas on the watch face; and

determine that the gesture is associated with a particular area in the plurality of partition areas, wherein the modification is conducted with respect to the particular area.

13. A method comprising:

generating a graphic representation of a time sorted list of different intents; and

presenting the graphic representation in a perimeter region of a watch face, wherein a timeline associated with the graphic representation aligns with an hour hand of the watch face.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the graphic representation distinguishes between types of intents, shows a start time and end time of one or more intents, shows a status of one or more intents and shows conflicts between intents.

15. The method of claim 13, further including:

identifying a relevant upcoming intent in the time sorted list of different intents based on a current user state and a current time;

generating a message based on the relevant upcoming intent and the current user state;

presenting the message in an interior region of the watch face; and

updating one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on one or more of a change in user state, a change in intent or a conflict between intents.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the message includes a recommended course of action based on the current user state and an upcoming intent.

17. The method of claim 15, further including:

detecting a gesture; and

conducting a modification of one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on the gesture.

18. The method of claim 17, further including:

defining a plurality of partition areas on the watch face; and

determining that the gesture is associated with a particular area in the plurality of partition areas, wherein the modification is conducted with respect to the particular area.

19. At least one computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a timepiece system, cause the timepiece system to:

generate a graphic representation of a time sorted listed of different intents; and

present the graphic representation in a perimeter region of a watch face, wherein a timeline associated with the graphic representation aligns with an hour hand of the watch face.

20. The at least one computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the graphic representation is to distinguish between types of intents, show a start time and end time of one or more intents, show a status of one or more intents and show conflicts between intents.

21. The at least one computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the timepiece system to:

identify a relevant upcoming intent in the time sorted list of different intents based on a current user state and a current time;

generate a message based on the relevant upcoming intent and the current user state;

present the message in an interior region of the watch face; and

update one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on one or more of a change in user state, a change in intent or a conflict between intents.

22. The at least one computer readable storage medium of claim 21, wherein the message is to include a recommended course of action based on the current user state and an upcoming intent.

23. The at least one computer readable storage medium of claim 21, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the timepiece system to:

detect a gesture; and

conduct a modification of one or more of the graphic representation or the message based on the gesture.

24. The at least one computer readable storage medium of claim 21, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the timepiece system to:

define a plurality of partition areas on the watch face; and

determine that the gesture is associated with a particular area in the plurality of partition areas, wherein the modification is conducted with respect to the particular area.
