Abstract: Systems and methods modify the behavior and operation of an electronic device and also enable a server to intercept and process incoming communications for the electronic device, based on whether the electronic device is communicating with a network via a high data rate mode or a low data rate mode. According to certain aspects, whether the electronic device is communicating with the network via a high data rate mode or a low data rate mode may be determined by calculating a delay index based on the amount of repeated data received by the electronic device. The electronic device may be able to maintain a more consistent connection with the network and improve the experience and satisfaction of users.

Abstract: Embodiments include an electronic device comprising a display unit operable to electronically display information; an antenna formed from at least one transparent conductor extending across a top surface of the display unit; and wireless communication circuitry operatively coupled to the antenna and positioned below the display unit. According to certain aspects, the at least one transparent conductor, the display unit, and the wireless communication circuitry may be stacked in parallel to each other and a housing for encasing the wireless communication circuitry and at least a portion of the display unit. One embodiment includes an electronic watch comprising a watch face operable to electronically display information; an antenna formed from at least one transparent conductor extending across a top surface of the watch face; and a watch housing for housing at least a portion of the watch face and wireless communication circuitry operatively coupled to the antenna.
