6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the retrieved application data comprises data regarding the display, wherein execution of the selected application by the selected other device generates the data regarding the display.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving sensor information via a sensor of the wearable device.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising storing the sensor information locally at the wearable device.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting the stored sensor information over the communication network to the selected device.
10. A wearable device for optimizing memory, the wearable device comprising:
a user interface for receiving a selection from a user, wherein the selection indicates identifies a selected device for storing at least one of an application and application data, the received selection also identifying a link to the application or the application data, the selected device selected from a list that includes the wearable device, a user mobile device, and a cloud computer;
a processor for executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor identifies that the application data associated with the selected application is located at the user mobile device or at the cloud computer identified by the received selection; and
a communication interface for retrieving the application data from the selected device over the communication network via the link identified by the received selection, wherein a portion of the retrieved application data is deleted from the wearable device after the user exits the selected application when memory utilization by the selected application at the wearable device corresponds to a high storage requirement and when the selected device for storing application data is the user mobile device or the cloud computer, the deletion of the portion of the retrieved application data optimizing the available memory in the wearable device.
11. The device of claim 10 , further comprising memory, wherein the processor executes further instructions to determine that the selected application is stored locally in the memory of the wearable device, and wherein the processor uses the retrieved application data to execute the selected application.
12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor generates the display by executing the selected application stored locally at the wearable device using the retrieved application data.
13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to determine that the selected application is stored remotely at the selected device, and wherein the retrieved application data comprises the selected application.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein retrieving the application data from the selected device comprises downloading the selected application to the wearable device.
15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the retrieved application data comprises data regarding the display, wherein execution of the selected application by the selected device generates the data regarding the display.
16. The device of claim 10 , further comprising a sensor that detects information regarding an environment around the sensor.
17. The device of claim 16 , further comprising memory for storing the sensor information locally.
18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the communication interface further transmits the stored sensor information over the communication network to the selected device.
19. The device of claim 10 , further comprising a housing that corresponds to clothing or an accessory configured to be worn by a user.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for optimizing memory for a wearable device, the method comprising:
receiving a selection from a user via a user interface of a wearable device, wherein the selection, identifies a selected device for storing at least one of an application and application data, the received selection also identifying a link to the application or the application data, the selected device selected from a list that includes the wearable device, a user mobile device, and a cloud computer;
