A system and method for data transmission over an audio jack are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: an audio interface including an audio jack, the audio interface including a right audio signal interface and a left audio signal interface; a data extractor coupled to the audio interface, the data extractor being configured to receive an audio stream via the audio interface and to isolate data encoded into the audio stream as out-of-phase data tones; and a microcontroller coupled to the data extractor to receive and process the data isolated by the data extractor.

A system and method for device action and configuration based on user context detection from sensors in peripheral devices are disclosed. A mobile device includes an interface to receive sensor data from a sensor of a wearable peripheral device worn by a user. The mobile device further includes at least one processor to: identify an activity engaged in by the user based on the sensor data, detect a completion of the activity based on the sensor data, and configure the mobile device to generate a notification to the user in response to the detection of the completion of the activity.

A touchpad system is disclosed herein that includes a touchpad sensor formed from a plurality of flexible materials and is at least partially integrated into host clothing or furniture such that the touchpad sensor is generally obscured from view. The touchpad sensor may be implemented as a resistive or capacitive touchpad, whereby user input is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal. The touchpad sensor may include N layers of flexible materials configured to conduct electrical energy, and also conform to contours of a host object. At least one layer of the flexible materials may be heat sealed or otherwise adhered to an inner surface of the host object, such as beneath a shirt sleeve. Thus smart clothing/furniture may appear to be 'normal' while also providing convenient user-access to a touchpad sensor that can robustly handle a wide variety of user-input to control operation of a remote computing device.
