Abstract
The disclosed system may include a watch band, a watch body comprising at least one image sensor configured to capture a wide-angle image, a coupling mechanism configured to detachably couple the watch body to the watch band, and at least one biometric sensor on at least one of the watch band or the watch body. Various other related methods and systems are also disclosed.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- at least one physical processor;
- and
- physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
- determine whether a watch body is attached to or detached from a watch band;
- deactivate, in response to determining that the watch body is attached to the watch band, an image sensor in a rear face of the watch body;
- and
- activate, in response to determining that the watch body is detached from the watch band, the image sensor in the rear face of the watch body.
The system of claim 13, wherein the data transferred to the head-mounted display comprises image data from the image sensor in the rear face of the watch body.
A wearable device, comprising:
- a watch band;
- a watch body comprising:
- a first image sensor in a front face of the watch body;
- and
- a second image sensor in a rear face of the watch body opposite the front face;
- a coupling mechanism configured to detachably couple the watch body to the watch band;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting, at a first time, that the watch body is coupled to the watch band via the coupling mechanism;
- based on detecting that the watch body is coupled to the watch band, permitting activation of the first image sensor;
- detecting, at a second time, that the watch body is not coupled to the watch band;
- and
- based on detecting that the watch body is not coupled to the watch band, permitting activation of the second image sensor.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one computer processor, performs:
- receiving, via a processor of a wearable device, instructions from another electronic device to perform at least one computing task offloaded from the other electronic device to reduce computing requirements of the other electronic device;
- executing, via the processor of the wearable device, the at least one computing task;
- and
- sending results of the at least one computing task from the wearable device to the other electronic device.
