The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods that can be used to collect sensor data from, for instance, a sensor device that has been embedded in an article of apparel. The sensor device can be used, for instance, to monitor the athletic activity of an individual wearing the apparel into which the electronic device has been embedded. Embodiments of the sensor device include a memory, a wireless interface, and one or more processor. With these elements, the sensor device may receive instructions indicating what sensor data to collect, collect the sensor data, store the sensor data, and transmit the stored sensor data to the remote device upon completion of the activity.

A system can include a mobile computing device and a wearable computing device. The wearable computing device can include a sensor that outputs an indication that the wearable computing device is not being worn. Responsive to receiving the indication that the wearable computing device is being not being worn, one or both of the devices can be operable to change an access mode of computing environment provided by the respective device from an increased access mode to a reduced access mode.

A method of sharing information between an external device and a portable processing device in communication with the external device, including the steps of the portable processing device evaluating policy restrictions associated with the external device, evaluating requested data by the external device in view of the policy restrictions, if the requested data may be shared with the external device, then the portable process device providing access to the data requested. The method may further include setting policy restrictions as a function of the external device, 3rd party security requirements, subscriber preferences and/or predefined mobility network policies.

Disclosed herein is an electronic device with multiple independently functional components capable of sharing information through a connector channel that in one embodiment is worn on the body of the user with automatic attachment and detachment capability including via external communication or command.

A wearable device that communicates with a host device can be used to initiate a communication functionality of the host device (e.g., telephone calls, text messages). The wearable device can obtain user input indicating a recipient of the communication and in some instances content for the communication and can provide an instruction to the host device. The host device can use the indicated recipient and content to initiate communication and where applicable to send the content. Recipients and/or content can be selected from predefined lists available on the wearable device.

An accessory device application executes on an accessory device of limited resources. The accessory device application includes an accessory device stub application and an interface definition. When a user interacts with the accessory device application, display changes are generated in response, in accordance with the interface definition, and are sent to a companion extension at an associated companion device. The companion extension receives the changes, and generates updated display values for the accessory device display. The updated display values are sent from the companion device daemon to the daemon of the accessory device, which displays the updated display values at the accessory device display. The functionality and operation of the accessory device application permit an accessory device of limited resources to leverage data processing and computational power of the companion device, to provide a more involving user experience at the accessory device.

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for separating sensitive data from mobile devices for theft prevention. According to one aspect, a system includes a data security platform and a mobile device platform. The mobile device platform can detect that the data security platform is connected. The mobile device platform can determine whether the data security platform is part of an authenticated pair with the mobile device platform. In response to determining that the data security platform is part of an authenticated pair with the mobile device platform, the mobile device platform can access at least a portion of sensitive data that is stored in a memory component of the data security platform. If the data security platform is disconnected from the mobile device platform, the mobile device platform cannot function or can provide limited functionality, such as a function to communication with a 9-1-1 service.

An electronic device displays at least one device initialization screen. After displaying the at least one device initialization screen, the electronic device displays an instruction screen instructing a user to pair the external device with the electronic device. The electronic device sends first data via wireless communication, displays a pattern comprising identifying information of the electronic device, and receives second data indicating that the external device and the electronic device have been paired using the first data. After receiving the second data, the electronic device provides an aural or haptic indication that the electronic device and the external device have been paired. In some examples, the electronic device is a wearable electronic device and the external device is a smartphone. Pairing the electronic device and the external device may allow the devices to exchange information and operate interactively with one another.

A provider device for advanced patient communication and methods for making and using same. According to one embodiment, a provider device comprises a receiver for receiving one or more messages from a central processing server, each of the one or more messages reflecting a patient request, an urgency level associated with the patient request, one or more action items associated with the patient request, and a lapse in time since receiving the patient request. The provider device also includes a display for displaying, based on the one or more messages, a patient listing including status information corresponding to one or more patients.

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and controlling method thereof. The present invention includes a sensing unit, a camera, a display unit, and a controller configured to launch a camera application, wherein the controller is further configured to execute a splice mode on the camera application, wherein the splice mode is a mode for outputting a preview image region and a splice region to the display unit by partitioning, and wherein the controller is further configured to output a preview image currently shot through the camera to the preview image region and recommend a splice image outputted to the splice region based on the outputted preview image.
