Abstract: A wearable device receives user configuration data that provides user-specific information for stored use cases and generates a personalized use case database based on the stored use cases and the user-specific information. The wearable device obtains location, sensor, time, and peripheral state data and detects a meaningful change in a most recent data instance of the location, sensor, time, or peripheral state data over an earlier data instance of the location, sensor, time, and peripheral state data. The wearable device determines if the most recent data instance corresponds to a particular use case in the personalized use case database; presents on a display a new home-screen experience, including multiple application user interfaces for the particular use case, when the most recent data instance corresponds to the particular use case; and changes a hardware state to enable use of the multiple application user interfaces in the new home-screen experience.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to implement a 4G antenna in a wearable device (e.g., a watch) in a manner that optimizes the ability of the antenna to send and receive radio signals while minimizing the user's exposure to radio signals. The antenna may be raised above a base portion and a printed circuit board (PCB) of the wearable device to limit radio signals being absorbed by the user's body, in addition to providing a vertical space between conductive components (such as the PCB), metal nodes to which the PCB is attached, etc.) that might otherwise interfere with radio signals to and from the antenna. The antenna may also be split into two different portions (a first portion and a second portion) in order to limit radio signals from resonating in the antenna for longer than is beneficial.

Abstract: A wearable device includes a core unit which is interchangeably attached to a container. The container may be configured to couple to a user, where the container may include a touch interface having a touch sensor associated with at least one surface of the container, a first inter-module communications interface (ICI), and a controller coupled to the touch interface and the ICI. The core unit may include a display, a second ICI which is communicatively coupled to the first ICI, a memory to store instructions and a processor. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions stored in memory to receive information through the first ICI and second ICI generated by the touch interface, where the information may be associated with a user command, and perform an operation in accordance with the received information associated with the user command.

Abstract: A device can include a first ground element to be electrically connected to a module including a cellular antenna. The first ground element and the module can be stackable. The cellular antenna can have a first ground plane provided by a second ground element included in the module. The first ground element can provide a second ground plane for the cellular antenna when the first ground element is electrically connected to the cellular antenna. The second ground plane can be larger than the first ground plane. Radio performance of the cellular antenna with regard to a cellular network is enhanced when the cellular antenna is electrically connected to the first ground element based on the second ground plane.
