Abstract: A supplemental display unit may provide information to a display associated with a wearable article. The supplemental display unit may share a communications channel with a mobile device, and exchange data with the mobile device over the communications channel while the mobile device resides within the wearable article. The supplemental display unit may generate a screen having a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the exchanged data, where an appearance of the screen is based on a measurement of the wearable article. The supplemental display unit may provide icons on the GUI presenting information to the user, where the icons may be arranged in groups based upon the type of information that each icon presents, and provide the GUI to the display, where the display is coupled to the wearable article.

Abstract: A method for devaluing a lost/stolen mobile device includes: receiving, by a server, a report that a mobile device is lost/stolen; suspending, by the server, a mobile identifier number associated with the mobile device, in response to the report; and transmitting, by the server, via a communication network, the suspended mobile identifier number for storage at another location. Suspending the mobile identifier number includes preventing the lost/stolen mobile device from accessing the communication network. The method includes storing the suspended mobile identifier number in an equipment identity registry database. The method further includes turning OFF Wi-Fi access, in the mobile device, in response to suspending the mobile identifier number by the server.
