Abstract: The present disclosure provides rechargeable battery systems and methods. A rechargeable battery is provided that is configured to be removably coupled to a first electronic device. The electronic device includes a plurality of electrical device contacts. The rechargeable battery includes a plurality of electrical battery contacts configured for input and output of electrical energy between the rechargeable battery and the first electronic device upon electrically coupling the plurality of electrical battery contacts to the plurality of electrical device contacts. The rechargeable battery includes an output port configured for output of electrical energy from the rechargeable battery to a second electronic device. The rechargeable battery permits connection of the output port to the second electronic device to output electrical energy from the rechargeable battery to the second electronic device as the battery is being charged by the first electronic device.

Abstract: A sleep management application on a computing device having a processor and a storage medium executes code that establishes to a server that maintains data pertaining to the computing device or to a user, retrieves data from the remote server, and generates a custom interface to configure a feature of the computing device. The custom interface is used to program a sleep management setting. In one implementation, a method uses the sleep management application to provide an alarm function using external data from a remote server. The sleep management application can receive the external data from the remote server and analyze the external data to identify elements that pertain to the sleep management application. Then, the sleep management application can generate a control signal based on the elements, and modify a setting governing an operation of the alarm function in accordance with the control signal.
