Smartwatch or other wearable device configured to intuitively interact with a user

Abstract

Several apparatus for receiving and displaying unassociated information elements in useful ways on a wearable computing device are described. In one example, the apparatus receives, organizes, displays and navigates a logical ordering of unassociated information elements. In another example, the apparatus receives unassociated information elements. In another example, the apparatus receives, associates, and navigates unassociated information elements.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes several ways to receive and display unconnected information on a wearable device. This can be useful for getting information quickly and easily. The device can receive and organize the information in a logical order, or it can also receive the information and help users navigate through it. The technical effects of this invention are efficient and efficient ways to access and use unconnected information on a wearable device.

Problems solved by technology

Historically wearable computing devices, including smart watches, have suffered from numerous design flaws including large size or poor functionality.

Due to the constraints of wearable computing device form factors, it is difficult to integrate high performance computing technology with an interface that is easy to use.

Past wearable computing devices were often large and bulky.

This may not be possible because of the aforementioned size, limited battery longevity, and clunky user interface.

Due to limitations in input methods available in the wearable computing device sized form factor, user input devices are limited.

Attempts at providing a litany of multipurpose input buttons in conjunction with confusing displays can make user input to applications difficult, frustrating and disruptive.

Conversely, other previous efforts to avoid the size problems, produced products with underwhelming features and little added benefit.

These wearable computing devices had limited programmability, and provided the user little benefit over their conventional counterparts.

Many attempts have failed to provide the user with an interface that is both elegant and functional.
