Abstract

A wearable device includes a wearable device structure and an electronic circuitry coupled to one or more sensors. The one or more sensors detect or measure wearable device user information selected from of at least one of, a wearable device user's activities, behaviors and habit information, and a wearable device user's health. A power receiving device is coupled to the electronic circuit and is in communication with a power transmitting device.

Claims (29)

1. A wearable device, comprising:

a wearable device structure, the wearable device structure including a first end and a second end;

an electronic device coupled to the wearable device structure, subsystem, the electronic device including a payment activity manager configured to receive from a user payment configuration parameters for each of a designated third party to receive payments, the payment activity manager including a designated third party payment data base that includes designated third party settings with third party IP addresses, payment sources for each of a designated third party, and method of payment, the payment activity manager performing a comparison for each of a designated third party to receive a payment, the payment activity manager performing an authentication of a designated third party for a payment and a tracking of payments for each of a payment transaction to the one or more designated third parties including an initiation of a payment and a conclusion of a payment from the user, the payment activity manager associating one or more transaction contexts of a designated third party payment prior to payment, the payment activity manager configured to adjust payment settings made by the user or requested by a designated third party to receive payments;

an electronic circuitry coupled to the one or more sensors; and

a power receiving device at the electronic device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmitting device is coupled to a power source.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the power transmission device in operation receives power from the power source and is configured to transmit a wireless signal to the power receiving device.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the power source is any type of power source.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmission device and the power receiving device are at a telemetry system associated with the electronic device.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device receives electrical charge wirelessly from the power transmission device.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmission device is coupled to or includes a communication interface that couples the power transmission device through a Network System, or any other communication system.

8. The device of claim 1 , the power transmitting device transmits a wireless energy signal to the power receiving device.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the wireless energy signal is one or more energy signals transmitted at frequencies that different from an audio band.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the wireless energy signal is in the range of 1520 MHz to 40 MHz.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmission device broadcasts a directional signal that is detected by the power receiving device.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein a wireless energy signal is transmitted in response to a request from the power receiving device.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein after receiving the wireless energy signal, the power receiving device transmits a feedback signal to the power transmission device.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the feedback signal is a part of a bi-directional communication signal transmitted between the power transmission device and the power receiving device.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmission device includes at least one of, a power module, a control module, a data communication module, and a shutoff module.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device includes a power receiving module.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the power receiving module includes power delivery components that are configured to perform at least one of, transform power received from a power source and convert power received from a power source.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the power receiving module is configured to transmit one or more frequencies of energy signals.

19. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device includes a power monitoring module.

20. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device includes a feedback module.

21. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device is coupled to a data communication module.

22. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device is coupled to an energy storage module.

23. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device includes a data communication module configured to communicate with the power receiving device.

24. The device of claim 23 , wherein the data communication module is configured to communicate energy signal frequency information to the power receiving device.

25. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power transmission device and the power receiving device establish a two way communication, wherein information of any type can exchanged between the two devices.
