  • Publication number: 20170242890
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and processes are discussed for using metadata to take action on an SMS message on a proprietary system. In some embodiments, a wearable electronic device has a wearable device application that can present an SMS notification from an SMS application of a mobile computing device. The wearable device application can provide SMS notification data to a partner application of the mobile computing device. The partner application can perform a reverse look-up in a contacts application of the mobile computing device and construct a first contacts list with potential SMS-message senders. The wearable device application can present one or more SMS-message actions to a user of the wearable electronic device for a user selection thereof. The partner application can communicate with a partner server, which, in turn, can communicate with an SMS provider to effect the user selection of the one or more SMS-message actions.

  • Publication number: 20160248637
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods that relate selectable actions embedded in two or more interactive elements from a plurality of wearable computing devices are discussed. The selected actions taken by the user of the first wearable computing device in the first interactive element are evaluated against the data including the actions taken by the user of the second wearable computing device in the second interactive element. A resultant interactive element is generated based on the evaluation of the data of the first interactive element against the data of the second interactive element. The resultant interactive element relates the selectable actions indicated by the first and second interactive elements from the first and second wearable computing devices. The resultant interactive element is then broadcast to at least the respective input communication circuits of the first and second wearable computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20160246453
    Abstract: Several apparatus for receiving and displaying unassociated information elements in useful ways on a wearable computing device are described. In one example, the apparatus receives, organizes, displays and navigates a logical ordering of unassociated information elements. In another example, the apparatus receives unassociated information elements. In another example, the apparatus receives, associates, and navigates unassociated information elements.

  • Publication number: 20160246492
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods that generate and send interactive elements to a plurality of wearable electronic devices are discussed. One or more mobile applications and one or more remote backend servers may cooperate to send information in the interactive elements to the instances of the time synchronous application resident in their wearable electronic device in order to bring different types of content such as timely and relevant data, events, and notifications to a user of that wearable electronic device without the users intervention to actively retrieve the different types of content. The interactive elements may be generated and sent from any of i) a public application programming interface hosted on a server, ii) one or more mobile applications resident on one or more mobile computing devices, and iii) one or more remote backend servers. In addition, these sources may merely send content and commands for the interactive elements to the public application programming interface.

  • Publication number: 20160246454
    Abstract: Several apparatus and a method for receiving and displaying unassociated information elements in useful ways on a wearable computing device are described. In one example, the apparatus receives, organizes, displays and navigates a logical ordering of unassociated information elements. In another example, the apparatus receives unassociated information elements and updates previously received unassociated information elements based on content, context and source. In another example, the apparatus receives, associates, updates, and adds interactive elements to unassociated information elements based on content and source.
