Systems, devices, and methods for providing assistance in human-to-human interactions are described. When it is determined that a user of a wearable heads-up display is interacting with another human, interaction assistance information can be presented to the user, such as biographic information relating to the other human, indication of emotional states of the user and/or other human, indication of when the interaction is one-sided, candidate conversation topics and candidate conversation questions. Additionally, interaction assistance functions or applications can also be provided which enable recording and storing of interactions, generation of summaries or lists based on the interaction, transcription of the interaction, note taking, event input, and notification management.

Systems, devices, and methods for assisting human-to-human interactions

The present systems, devices, and methods generally relate to controlling wearable displays during vehicle operation, and particularly to detecting when a user is operating a vehicle and restricting operation of a wearable display to prevent the user from being distracted. At least one processor of a wearable display system receives user context data from at least one user context sensor, and determines whether the user is operating a vehicle based on the user context data. If the user is operating a vehicle, presentation of at least one user interface is restricted. Unrestricted access can be restored by inputting an unlock input to override the restriction, or by analysis of additional user context data at a later time.

Systems and methods for displaying a visual interface in a display of a head-mounted wearable device when the display may occlude objects in the user's physical environment while in use. An image detection device oriented generally in-line with the user's line of sight is used to capture at least one image. One or more objects are detected in the at least one image and, based on the detection of the one or more objects, an environmental interaction mode may be activated or deactivated. In the environmental interaction mode, the user interface may be modified or disabled to facilitate viewing of the physical environment.

Systems and methods for detecting environmental occlusion in a wearable computing device display

Systems, devices, and methods for generating and sending messages are described. messages are autonomously generated by at least one processor by identifying environmental context of a device, system, or user, such that minimal input is required from the user. Environmental context can include at least time, date, calendar entries, user activity, location, physical environment, message history, and relationship between users. Messages can also be generated by generating a first portion of a message, and having the user select a second portion to complete the message. Recipients for a message can be autonomously determined based on environmental context and content of a message to be sent.

Systems, devices, and methods for generating messages

Systems, devices, and methods for notification management are described. At least one processor determines whether a user is interacting with another human based on user context data from at least one user context sensor, such as a microphone, a camera, an IMU, an eye tracking system, or proximity sensors, and modifies presentation of notification content if the user is interacting with another human. Modification of presentation of notification content can include repositioning or resizing displayed notification content; modifying intensity, frequency, or pattern of vibratory notification presentation; changing visual notification presentation to vibratory presentation; changing vibratory notification presentation to visual presentation; and delaying presentation of notification content, for example. The at least one processor can also analyze priority level of at least one notification to determine whether presentation of the notification content should be modified, or whether the notification content should be presented immediately without modification.

Wearable electronic devices having a selfie camera are described herein. The wearable electronic devices include a body defining an aperture that is sized and shaped to receive a finger of a user. The wearable electronic device also includes a processor housed in the body, an input device arranged on an outer surface of the body and communicatively coupled to the processor to receive an input from a second finger of the user, an optical sensor to capture an image in response to the input from the second finger of the user, a transmitter communicatively coupled to the processor to transmit the image to an external electronic device, and optionally a power source communicatively coupled to the processor and the transmitter to provide power to at least the processor and the transmitter.
