In one example, a wearable device includes one or more processors, a plurality of communication components, one or more motion sensors configured to detect motion of the wearable device and generate, based on the detected motion, motion data, and a storage device configured to store at least one module. The at least one module may be operable by the one or more processors to: responsive to determining that the wearable device is not connected to the computing device using the first communication technology, determine, based on the motion data, whether the wearable device is currently being worn, and responsive to determining that the wearable device is currently being worn, establish the wireless connection to the computing device using the second communication component.

Power sensitive wireless communication radio management

An example method includes displaying, by a display () of a wearable device (), a content card (B); receiving, by the wearable device, motion data generated by a motion sensor () of the wearable device that represents motion of a forearm of a user of the wearable device; responsive to determining, based on the motion data, that the user has performed a movement that includes a supination of the forearm followed by a pronation of the forearm at an acceleration that is less than an acceleration of the supination, displaying, by the display, a next content card (C); and responsive to determining, based on the motion data, that the user has performed a movement that includes a supination of the forearm followed by a pronation of the forearm at an acceleration that is greater than an acceleration of the supination, displaying, by the display, a previous content card (A).

Touchless user interface navigation using gestures

A computing device is described that executes a centralized service and a plurality of applications. The centralized service detects a change from a first power mode of the computing device to a second power mode of the computing device and responsive to detecting the change, determines a first application from the plurality of applications executing at the computing device, to notify of the change from the first power mode to a second power mode. The centralized service outputs to the first application an indication of the change from the first power mode to the second power mode, and responsive to receiving an indication response from the first application, suspends an application processor of the computing device.
