  • Patent number: 10429445
    Abstract: A method and system for providing charging information to a user of wearable device by predicting when a health sensor is needed most during the course of the day and cross-referencing that information with a user's personal calendar in order to determine the optimal time to charge the wearable device. Battery life of the wearable device may be monitored. Information may be stored in memory regarding sensor data detected by one or more sensors and associated with a time. One or more time slots may be identified during which the sensor data was lacking. The identified time slots may be compared against a calendar of available time to identify matching time slots. A next matching time slot may be determined, and a notification may be displayed on a display screen of the wearable device to recommend that the user charge the wearable device at the determined next matching time slot.

  • Publication number: 20180268346
    Abstract: In a method for tracking workers in a park, work areas for the workers are defined, respectively, which include a first work area defined for a first worker. The defined work areas are transmitted to worker devices, respectively, which include a first worker device provided for the first worker. When it is determined that the location of the first worker device is outside of the first work area, the first user is prompted to input or select a report, and when the report is acquired by the first worker device, the report is wirelessly transmitted from the first worker device to the management server. An action in response to the transmitted report is determined, and assistance information corresponding to the determined action is wirelessly transmitted from the management server to one or more of the worker devices.
