Abstract
A system having a mobile device and a wearable mount configured to couple to the mobile device, the coupling making the mobile device wearable at a worn location, wherein a set of functionalities of the mobile device corresponds to the worn location. The wearable mount having a coupler configured to couples to a mount coupling of a mobile device and a fastener that fastens the wearable mount to a location, the location, a set of functionalities of the mobile device being based on the location.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a mobile device having a set of functionalities;
- and
- a plurality of wearable mounts comprising at least a first wearable mount and a second wearable mount configured to couple to the mobile device, the coupling of the mobile device with the first wearable mount making the mobile device wearable at a first location on a user's body and the coupling of the mobile device with the second wearable mount making the mobile device wearable at a second location on the user's body, wherein a first subset of the set of functionalities of the mobile device is automatically selected upon coupling the mobile device to the first wearable mount and a second subset of the set of functionalities of the mobile device is automatically selected upon coupling the mobile device to the second wearable mount,
- wherein the first wearable mount is different than the second wearable mount and the first subset of the set of functionalities is different than the second subset of the set of functionalities.
A mobile device having a set of functionalities, comprising:
- a mount coupler configured to couple the mobile device to a plurality of wearable mounts comprising at least a first wearable mount and a second wearable mount, the first wearable mount being different than the second wearable mount;
- and
- a processor automatically determining a first subset of the set of functionalities for the mobile device upon a coupling of the mobile device to the first wearable mount and the processor automatically determining a second subset of the set of functionalities for the mobile device upon a coupling of the mobile device to the second wearable mount,
- wherein the first subset of the set of functionalities is different than the second subset of the set of functionalities.
A wearable mount, comprising:
- a coupler configured to couple a plurality of wearable mounts comprising at least a first wearable mount and a second wearable mount to a mount coupling of a mobile device having a set of functionalities, the first wearable mount being different than the second wearable mount;
- and
- a fastener that fastens the first wearable mount to a first location on a user's body and a fastener that fastens the second wearable mount to a second location on the user's body, a first subset of the set of functionalities of the mobile device being automatically selected upon a coupling of the mobile device to the first wearable mount and a second subset of the set of functionalities of the mobile device being automatically selected upon a coupling of the mobile device to the second wearable mount,
- wherein the first subset of the set of functionalities is different than the second subset of the set of functionalities.
