Described are apparatus, systems, and methods that are operable to conserve battery power of a wearable device by monitoring a state of the user wearing the wearable device and adjusting power state of one or more components of the device based on the determined user state and/or altering a wireless transmission of sensor data collected by the wearable device from the wearable device to a portable device associated with the user. For example, if it is determined that the user is in a sleep state, the wireless connection between the wearable device and the portable device may be terminated, the wireless transmitter and the processor transitioned to a low power state, and sensor data stored in a buffer memory of the wearable device until a defined period of time before the user exits the sleep state and/or upon satisfaction of a buffer usage threshold.

Wearable device power source conservation

Wearable device battery conservation

Embodiments presented herein describe a package management system that uses guidance devices when transporting packages. In one embodiment, the package management system includes an event detecting device that detects a package transporting event such as when a package is sorted into a container, a container is moved from the warehouse to vehicle, a container is moved from a vehicle into a warehouse, a package is delivered, a package is moved to a staging location, or a package is picked-up from a staging location. Once a container or staging location corresponding to the event is identified, a gateway identifies the guidance device assigned to that container or staging location and instructs the guidance device to illuminate a light disposed thereon.

Transporting packages using light guided operations

Embodiments presented herein describe a package management system that uses guidance devices when transporting packages. In one embodiment, the package management system includes an event detecting device that detects a package transporting event such as when a package is sorted into a container, a container is moved from the warehouse to vehicle, a container is moved from a vehicle into a warehouse, or a package is delivered. For example, the event detecting device may trigger the event in response to a worker scanning a bar code, selecting a delivery route, or checking an electronic manifest. Once a container corresponding to the event is identified, a gateway identifies the guidance device assigned to that container and instructs the guidance device to illuminate a light disposed thereon.
