Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a wearable electronic device with a biometric sensor and logic. At least a portion of the logic is implemented in hardware. The logic is configured to receive input data indicative of biometric input and attempt to authenticate the input data based, at least in part, on at least one biometric credential of an authorized user. The logic is configured to establish a wireless connection to a smart device, determine whether the smart device is included in a trust group of one or more smart devices, and send a communication to unlock the smart device when the input data is successfully authenticated and when the trust group includes the smart device.

Abstract: A network interface between an internal bus and an external bus architecture having one or more external buses includes an external interface engine and an internal interface. The external interface engine (EIE) is coupled to the external bus architecture, where the external interface engine communicates over the external bus architecture in accordance with one or more bus protocols. The internal interface is coupled to the external interface engine and the internal bus, where the internal interface buffers network data between the internal bus and the external bus architecture. In one embodiment, the internal interface includes an internal interface (IIE) coupled to the internal bus, where the IIE defines a plurality of queues for the network data. An intermediate memory module is coupled to the IIE and the EIE, where the intermediate memory module aggregates the network data in accordance with the plurality of queues.
