Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and computing devices, and, in particular, to antenna structures and formation methods for a wearable pod and/or device implementing a touch-sensitive interface in a metal pod cover. According to an embodiment, formation of a wearable pod includes selecting an antenna having a first surface area that extends beyond a second surface area associated with an attachment portion a cradle for a wearable pod. The method also includes forming an under-anchor portion composed of an interface material configured to bind to the cradle and to an elastomer, and disposing the antenna on a surface of the under-anchor portion at a distance from the second surface area associated with the attachment portion. Also, the method can include forming an over-anchor portion.
Abstract:
Device-based activity classification using predictive feature analysis is described, including evaluating an indicator associated with a predictive feature, identifying an application, using the name, to be performed, and invoking the application, the application being configured to interpret the indicator to determine an operation to perform at one or more levels of a protocol stack using data generated from evaluating a signal detected by a sensor, the sensor being coupled to a wearable device, and the application being configured to perform the operation using other data generated from evaluating another signal detected by another sensor, the another sensor being substantially different than the sensor.

Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to a wearable device implementing a touch-sensitive interface in a metal pod cover and/or bioimpedance sensing to determine physiological characteristics, such as heart rate. According to an embodiment, a wearable device and method includes determining a drive current signal magnitude for a bioimpedance signal to capture data representing a physiological-related component, and selecting the drive current signal magnitude as a function of an impedance of a tissue. Further, the method can include driving the bioimpedance signal to that are configured to convey the bioimpedance signal to the tissue. Also, the method can receive the sensor signal from the tissue, adjust a gain for an amplifier, and apply the gain to data representing the physiological-related component. The method can include generating an amplified signal to include a portion of the physiological-related signal component that includes data representing a physiological characteristic.
