Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices that support techniques for generating alerts based on a relative location are described. A method may include acquiring physiological data associated with a user via a wearable device, the physiological data including at least temperature data, acceleration data, and photolethysmogram (PPG) data, or a combination of data. The method may include determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device based on the physiological data. The method may include determining a signal strength associated with a wireless connection between the wearable device and a user device associated with the user based on the user not wearing the wearable device. The method may include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device to display notification associated with the wearable device based on the signal strength failing to satisfy a threshold signal strength.

Claims (53)

1 . A method comprising:

acquiring data via a wearable device associated with a user, the data comprising temperature data, acceleration data, photoplethysmogram (PPG) data, or any combination thereof;

determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device based at least in part on the data;

determining a signal strength associated with a wireless connection between the wearable device and a user device associated with the user based at least in part on determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device; and

causing a graphical user interface of the user device to display a notification associated with the wearable device based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy a threshold signal strength.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the user device, a user input indicating a threshold distance between the user device and the wearable device; and

determining the threshold signal strength based at least in part on the threshold distance.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing the graphical user interface of the user device to display a second notification based at least in part on the signal strength satisfying the threshold signal strength.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device further comprises:

determining the temperature data, motion data, the PPG data, electrocardiogram data, bioimpedance data, or any combination thereof, satisfy one or more threshold values, the one or more threshold values corresponding to the user not wearing the wearable device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device further comprises:

determining that a change in the acceleration data satisfies a threshold acceleration value.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing one or more components of the user device to emit a sound based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy the threshold signal strength.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

selectively adjusting one or more parameters associated with the sound based at least in part on a distance between the user device and the wearable device, a power level of the wearable device, or both, wherein the distance is associated with the signal strength, and wherein the one or more parameters comprise a volume of the sound, a frequency of the sound, a pattern of the sound, or any combination thereof.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing location data associated with a geographical location of the wearable device, the user device, or both, based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy the threshold signal strength; and

causing the graphical user interface to display an indication of the geographical location.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing one or more components of the wearable device to emit a visible light based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy the threshold signal strength.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

selectively adjusting one or more parameters associated with the visible light based at least in part on a distance between the user device and the wearable device, a power level of the wearable device, or both, wherein the distance is associated with the signal strength, and wherein the one or more parameters comprise an intensity of the visible light, a wavelength associated with the visible light, a blinking pattern associated with the visible light, a periodicity of the blinking pattern, or any combination thereof.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein causing the one or more components of the wearable device to emit the visible light comprises:

determining a distance between the user device and the wearable device satisfies a threshold distance based at least in part on the signal strength.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless connection comprises a Bluetooth connection.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wearable device comprises a wearable ring device.

14 . An apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

memory coupled with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

acquire data via a wearable device associated with a user, the data comprising temperature data, acceleration data, photoplethysmogram (PPG) data, or any combination thereof;

determine that the user is not wearing the wearable device based at least in part on the data;

determine a signal strength associated with a wireless connection between the wearable device and a user device associated with the user based at least in part on determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device; and

cause a graphical user interface of the user device to display a notification associated with the wearable device based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy a threshold signal strength.

15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

receive, via the user device, a user input indicating a threshold distance between the user device and the wearable device; and

determine the threshold signal strength based at least in part on the threshold distance.

16 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

cause the graphical user interface of the user device to display a second notification based at least in part on the signal strength satisfying the threshold signal strength.

17 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions to determine that the user is not wearing the wearable device are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

determine the temperature data, motion data, the PPG data, electrocardiogram data, bioimpedance data, or any combination thereof, satisfy one or more threshold values, the one or more threshold values corresponding to the user not wearing the wearable device.

18 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions to determine that the user is not wearing the wearable device are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

determine that a change in the acceleration data satisfies a threshold acceleration value.

19 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

cause one or more components of the user device to emit a sound based at least in part on the signal strength failing to satisfy the threshold signal strength.

20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

acquire data via a wearable device associated with a user, the data comprising temperature data, acceleration data, photoplethysmogram (PPG) data, or any combination thereof;

determine that the user is not wearing the wearable device based at least in part on the data;

determine a signal strength associated with a wireless connection between the wearable device and a user device associated with the user based at least in part on determining that the user is not wearing the wearable device; and
