Wearable device with gesture recognition module
A system includes a wearable device including a gesture recognition module configured to detect a gesture using the gesture recognition module. A wireless device is configured to implement one or more functionality types. The wearable device can wirelessly detect the wireless device and obtain a code from the wireless device. The wearable device detects a gesture and in response, transmits the code to the wireless device to cause the wireless device to implement at least one of the one or more functionality types.
1. A method implemented in a wearable device, the method comprising:
receiving, via a wireless transceiver on the wearable device, information including:
an unlock passcode from a wireless lock device;
a handle type associated with the wireless lock device; and
a lock status indicating whether the wireless lock device is locked or unlocked;
detecting, by one or more sensors on the wearable device, an unlock gesture performed by a user wearing the wearable device;
determining, based on the handle type, a particular unlock gesture performed by the user of the wearable device; and
responsive to determining the particular unlock gesture and receiving the lock status, transmitting, via the wireless transceiver, the unlock passcode to the wireless lock device to unlock the wireless lock device and update the lock status.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting, via the wireless transceiver, the wireless lock device; and
responsive to the wireless lock device and the wearable device having not been previously paired, pairing the wearable device with the wireless lock device.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the receiving the unlock passcode comprises receiving the unlock passcode in response to determining that the wireless lock device and the wearable device have been previously paired.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the wearable device comprises a wristband.
5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the unlock gesture comprises a handle turning motion.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the wireless transceiver is embodied on an RFID device.
7. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein:
the wearable device comprises a wristband;
the unlock gesture comprises a door handle turning motion; and
the wireless transceiver is embodied on an RFID device.
8. The method implemented in a wearable device as recited in claim 1 , wherein a new unlock passcode is generated after each use and stored at the wireless lock device.
9. A wearable device, comprising:
one or more sensors configured to detect movement of the wearable device;
a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a wireless lock device;
a processing system to interface with the one or more sensors and the wireless transceiver via a communication bus, the processing system being configured to:
receive, via the wireless transceiver on the wearable device, information including:
an unlock passcode from the wireless lock device;
a handle type associated with the wireless lock device; and
a lock status indicating whether the wireless lock device is locked or unlocked;
detect, via the one or more sensors, an unlock gesture performed by a user wearing the wearable device;
determine, based on the handle type, a particular unlock gesture performed by the user of the wearable device; and
responsive to determining the particular unlock gesture, transmit, via the wireless transceiver, the unlock passcode to the wireless lock device to unlock the wireless lock device and update the lock status.
10. The wearable device as recited in claim 9 , wherein the processing system is further configured to:
detect, via the wireless transceiver, the wireless lock device; and
responsive to the wireless lock device and the wearable device having not been previously paired, pair the wearable device with the wireless lock device.
11. The wearable device as recited in claim 9 , wherein to receive the unlock passcode is to receive the unlock passcode in response to the wireless lock device and the wearable device having been previously paired.
12. The wearable device as recited in claim 9 , wherein the wearable device comprises a wristband.
13. The wearable device as recited in claim 9 , wherein the unlock gesture comprises a handle turning motion.
14. The wearable device as recited in claim 9 , wherein:
the wearable device comprises a wristband;
the unlock gesture comprises a door handle turning motion; and
the wireless transceiver is embodied on an RFID device.
15. A system, comprising:
a wearable device including a gesture recognition module configured to detect a particular gesture using the gesture recognition module;
a wireless device that implements one or more functionality types;
a mobile device including an RFID device and configured to:
wirelessly detect the wireless device;
obtain a code from the wireless device;
obtain a handle type associate with the wireless device;
receive an indication, based on handle type, that the particular gesture is detected from the wearable device; and
responsive to the indication that the particular gesture is detected, transmit the code via the RFID device effective to cause the wireless device to implement at least one of the one or more functionality types.
16. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein said one of the one or more functionality types comprises an unlocking functionality.
17. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein the wearable device is embedded in an article of clothing.
18. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein the gesture comprises a twisting gesture.
19. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein said one of the one or more functionality types comprises an unlocking functionality, the gesture comprises a twisting gesture, and the wearable device comprises a wristband.
20. The system comprising the mobile device as recited in claim 15 , further comprising a security module configured to generate a new unlock passcode after each use of the unlock passcode and store the new unlock passcode on the mobile device.
