Embodiments of the invention describe a clasp assembly for detachably coupling a first housing to a second housing. The clasp assembly to further includes a data connector to provide an input/output (I/O) interface to a computing component of the first housing, and a data connector housing corresponding to the data connector, wherein the data connector is exposed when the clasp assembly is in an open position, and wherein the data connector is disposed in the data connector housing when the clasp assembly is in a closed position.

Clasp assembly and data interconnection for wearable computing devices

A gesture-based waking and control system to wake a smartwatch device from a low-power state is described. In one embodiment, the system utilizes a pressure or proximity based wake gesture that is interpretable by low-power sensors. An embodiment of the system can be integrated within a wearable device, such as a smartwatch accessory that can be paired with a mobile electronic device, such as a smartphone. In one embodiment, the wearable device includes a set of low-power sensors that are to detect the wake gesture. In one embodiment, the wake gesture causes the device to enable an additional set of sensors and sensor processing logic to detect more advanced commands or gestures. In one embodiment, the wake gesture enables a display of the wearable device.

Gesture-based waking and control system for wearable devices

Wearable electronic display device

Particular embodiments described herein provide for a wearable electronic device, such as a bracelet, watch, wristband or armband. One particular example implementation of a wearable electronic device may include a first display screen, a second display screen, and logic. At least a portion of the logic is implemented in hardware. The logic is configured to receive a communication over a wireless network, and to display, in the first display screen, a communication alert. The communication alert can be a graphic design. The logic is also configured to receive input data indicative of a screen transition input to view information associated with the communication, and to display, in the second display screen, the information associated with the communication. In further embodiments, the graphic design includes a notification pattern indicating one or more attributes of the communication. In further embodiments, the first and second display screens form a single display screen.

Wearable electronic device having heterogeneous display screens

Embodiments of the invention describe a hinge assembly to rotatably couple a first housing to a second housing, wherein an interconnect extends through the hinge assembly as an incorporated portion of the hinge assembly, the interconnect to communicatively couple a component located in the first housing to a component located in a second housing.

Routing signals via hinge assemblies for mobile computing devices

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems and methods are described herein that may allow RFID reader devices to automatically initiate an autonomous reader script in order to excute reader operations independent of a host computer and/or RFID tags. The initialization of the autonomous reader script may be based on a triggering event such as a predefined time period or in response to detecting a signal received from the host computer having a signal strength that is below a threshold level.
