Abstract
A control unit is coupled to an infrared light source including at least an infrared light emitter. The infrared light source may be embedded in a wearable device. The control unit captures user preference and also receives current context associated with the wearable device and/or a user wearing the wearable device. The control unit determines automatically based on the current context meeting the user preference, whether to activate the infrared light source to emit infrared light or deactivate the infrared light source to stop emitting infrared light. Responsive to determining that the infrared light source is to be activated, the infrared light source is activated to emit the infrared light. Responsive to determining that the infrared light source is to be deactivated, the infrared light source is deactivated to stop emitting the infrared light.
