DEVICE CONTROL USING SENSORY INPUT
Techniques for device control using sensory input are described, including receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device, processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a social network, and generating a control signal based on the input, the control signal configured to initiate execution of a social-related activity on the social network.
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device;
processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a social-related activity; and
generating a control signal, the control signal configured to initiate execution of the social-related activity on a social network.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input from the one or more sensors is generated from a physical activity.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input from the one or more sensors is associated with a biological state.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input from the one or more sensors is associated with a physiological state.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input from the one or more sensors is associated with a psychological state.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social network is accessed by an intermediary facility.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social network comprises the wearable computing device and another wearable computing device in direct data communication with each other.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the control signal is performed while the wearable computing device is in use.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social-related activity comprises uploading data generated from the input to an online destination.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social-related activity comprises executing an application accessed by the wearable computing device.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social-related activity comprises generating a social-related notification.
12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the control signal to the social network using a wireless data communication link.
13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the control signal to the social network using a wired data communication link.
14 . A system, comprising:
a memory configured to store data associated with input received from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device; and
a logic module configured to process the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a social-related activity, and to initiate execution of the social-related activity on a social network.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the social network is accessed by an intermediary facility.
16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the logic module is further configured to transmit data generated from the input to the social network.
17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the logic module is further configured to upload data generated from the input to an online destination.
18 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the logic module is further configured to initiate execution of an application accessed by the wearable computing device.
19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the social-related activity comprises generating a vibration providing a social-related notification.
20 . A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a wearable computing device;
processing the input to determine a pattern, the pattern associated with a social network; and
generating a control signal based on the input, the control signal configured to initiate execution of a social-related activity on the social network.
