Abstract: A wearable device is described. The wearable device includes a body portion and an adjustable strap affixed to a body portion to form an opening. The opening receives a body part of a user therein. The wearable device includes a control component, a gesture component, and/or a sensing component configured to detect input, gestures, and/or biometric parameters of the user and transmit the input, the gestures, and/or the biometric parameters to a smart device connected to the wearable device via a wireless personal area network technology to modify parameters of the smart device. The wearable device may include one or more sensors that assist the control component, the gesture component, and/or the sensing component.

Abstract: A wearable device in the form of a ring, band, or necklace includes a receiver portion with a pressure sensitive mechanism that receives user input in the form of applied pressure to modify a parameter of a smart device. The wearable device also includes a control component that implements an alarm system. The alarm system includes a sensor in communication with an electronic device and is configured to send a notification to the display of the electronic device when activated. The control component receives the user input from the receiver portion and transmits it to the smart device to modify the parameter accordingly.
