Abstract: An apparatus, a system, and a method in which a message notification application such as an e-mail notification application resident in a first memory on a wearable electronic device is configured to provide messaging actions; where the message notification application has a user interface to present content of a message originating from an message application resident on a mobile computing device; where the message notification application is configured to analyze a notification of the message to obtain an incomplete data set; and where the message notification application is configured to work with a server configured to integrate with one or more application programming interfaces of one or more messaging service providers, where the server has a server module configured to receive the incomplete data set and use all or a portion of the incomplete data set as search query terms to retrieve an instance of the message in its full-message format.

Abstract: A lifestyle service with data and routines storable in a memory of a wearable electronic device is discussed. The lifestyle service has at least a Sleep data routine and an Activity data routine. The lifestyle service can cooperate with an insight engine. The lifestyle service is aware of different types of information contained in one or more time synchronous applications. The system can compare tracked physical activity data with historical data in set increments in light of the information in the time synchronous applications and then communicate notifications to the user.

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 one or more instances of a time synchronous application in order to bring different types of content such as timely and relevant data, events, and notifications to a user of a wearable electronic device without the user's 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 (“API”) hosted on a server, ii) one or more mobile applications resident on one or more mobile computing devices, or iii) one or more remote backend servers. In addition, these sources may merely send content and commands for the interactive elements to the public API.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using contextual information to determine an appropriate response in a system that includes a device paired with an accessory device. The contextual information can be sourced from local sensors, received communications, and information stored on a device within the system. Stored parameters in the system allow flexibility and configurability in evaluating the contextual information. Using feedback obtained after actions taken based on the contextual information allows the system to adapt to better meet the needs of the user.

Abstract: Provided herein is apparatuses and methods for notifications from applications displayed on a wearable electronic device. An action prioritization routine optimizes the display of the possible selectable action items associated with notifications as well as controls a number of other functions regarding notifications.

Abstract: An apparatus, that can be in the form of a wearable device, comprising a display, a memory, and a processor coupled to the display and memory. The processor retrieves a first set of points describing a first vector for a first display element; retrieves a second set of points describing a second vector for a second display element; modifies the first set of points by modifying one or more points in the first set of points to form a modification of the first vector; modifies the second set of points by modifying one or more points in the second set of points to form a modification of the second vector; and sequentially renders in the display the first vector, the modification to the first vector, the second vector with the modification to the second vector, and the second vector without the modification to the second vector.

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.

Abstract: A wearable device is disclosed that includes circuitry in both the display device and the securing device, for example a watch and watch band. The circuitry in the securing device is electrically connected to the display device electrical circuitry and may be used to extend the functionality of the display device or create additional display space for use by the display device. These are but two examples of possible uses.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed that, in one exemplary configuration, includes a connection pin, a spring, an insulator, an outer casing, and a quick-release lever. The electrical connector is used to electrically connect a display device, like a watch, and a securing device, like a watch strap. The electrical connector may be used to create electrical and ground connections between the securing device and the display device from a single point of contact. The quick-release lever may be used for the improved attachment and release of the electrical connector from the display device.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system relating to embedding hidden content within a Unicode message and using the hidden content to perform a particular computer action.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device is discussed. The device has a housing and a processor in the housing. The processor can enable the wearer of the device to select different operations from an onscreen display. The device also has a communication circuit in the housing to transmit wirelessly to another device cooperating with the electronic device. The device has a microphone hole penetrating the housing to a microphone, a microphone seal component, and a waterproof material in the housing. The microphone seal component has channels and when compressed against the waterproof material can i) allow sound waves in air to pass through to the microphone inside the housing behind the waterproof material and the microphone seal component, ii) form a water tight seal for the microphone hole penetrating the housing, and iii) provide an air pressure equalization mechanism between internal pressure inside the housing and atmospheric pressure external to the housing.

Abstract: A description is provided of a wearable device that is made up of a display device and a securing device that provides at least an overlay portion to provide electrical connection to the display device. The display device and the securing device may both contain electrical circuitry. The overlay connection to the display device can create an electrical connection between the electrical circuitry on the display device and the electrical circuitry in the securing device.
