Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for initiating automated actions using ring-shaped electronic devices. Example methods may include determining, by a ring-shaped electronic device comprising a button, a first user interaction with the button, determining that a first action associated with the first button sequence identifier is to initiate a synchronous communication, determining contact information associated with the first action, and initiating the synchronous communication using the contact information.

Abstract: A microphone acquires audio data of a user's speech. The audio data is processed to determine sentiment data indicative of perceived emotional content of the speech. For example, the sentiment data may include values for one or more of valence that is based on a particular change in pitch over time or activation that is based on speech pace. A simplified user interface provides the user with a graphical representation based on the sentiment data and associated descriptors. For example, a visual indicator such as a dot may be shown at particular coordinates onscreen that correspond to the sentiment data. Text descriptors may also be presented near the dot. As the user continues speaking, and new audio data is processed, the interface is dynamically updated. The user may use this information to assess their state of mind, facilitate interactions with others, and so forth.
