US 2019/0166203 A1 · COORDINATED APPLICATIONS WITHIN A MOBILE DEVICE INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

A mobile app generates and manages companion apps in a memory of the mobile computing device. The companion apps cooperate with one or more integrated tracker apps in a memory of a wearable device to provide a combined functionality to the wearable device. A companion app communicates with an integrated tracker app to provide at least extended capabilities for the integrated tracker app including adding connectivity to the Internet to access On-line services and gather data on behalf of the integrated tracker app via the integrated tracking app submitting a request to an application programming interface for the companion app. The mobile app coordinates activities between i) multiples instances of the companion app loaded in the memory of the mobile computing device and ii) the integrated tracker apps running in the memory of the wearable device.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

configuring at least one companion application, executing in a memory of a mobile computing device, to cooperate with a host mobile application executing in the memory of the mobile computing device, the at least one companion application capable of communication with at least one web service and with at least one tracker application executing in a memory on a wearable device;
configuring the host mobile application to manage the at least one companion application;
distributing a computational workflow on behalf of the wearable device, based at least in part on the at least one companion application interacting with the at least one web service on behalf of the at least one tracker application;
and
presenting, by the wearable device, feedback based at least in part on an output of the computational workflow.

2 more elements

A computing system, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:
configure at least one companion application to cooperate with a host mobile application, the at least one companion application capable of communication with at least one web service and with at least one tracker application executing in a memory on a wearable device;
configure the host mobile application to manage the at least one companion application;
distribute a computational workflow on behalf of the wearable device, based at least in part on the at least one companion application interacting with the at least one web service on behalf of the at least one tracker application;
and
present, by the wearable device, feedback based at least in part on an output of the computational workflow.
