Abstract: A system and method for customizing biomechanical wearable sensors can include a customizable biomechanical processing layer, activity model layer, and/or device communication and processing management. The system and method can include monitoring biomechanical signals at a first set of wearable sensors configured in an initial biomechanical processing configuration; selecting a configuration option for the first set of wearable sensors; delivering the configuration option to the at least one wearable sensor; and monitoring biomechanical signals according to an altered biomechanical processing configuration that is altered according to the configuration option.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving network traffic associated with an end user and evaluating the network traffic to identify network activity associated with the end user. The method includes generating a presence status associated with the end user based on the network activity, the presence status is deduced automatically without involving active participation from the end user. In more specific embodiments, the presence status is integrated into a directory in which presence status for a plurality of end users is stored. Initially, the end user can be marked in an unavailable state, where authentication to a network causes the presence status to change to an available state. In other embodiments, calendar events and telephone events can be tracked for the end user in order to update the presence status. Additionally, at least one parameter associated with the presence status is hidden based on configurable end user privacy preferences.
