APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROCESSOR FOR CHANGING UNDERWATER DEVICE OPERATION
Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for changing underwater device operation. One apparatus includes a sensor, at least one memory, and at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the apparatus to: receive, by use of the sensor, data corresponding to an environmental factor; determine whether the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater; and, in response to the data indicating that the apparatus is underwater, change operation of the apparatus.
1 . An apparatus comprising:
a sensor;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the apparatus to:
receive, by use of the sensor, data corresponding to an environmental factor;
determine whether the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater; and
in response to the data indicating that the apparatus is underwater, change operation of the apparatus.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises a smart watch.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a barometric pressure sensor.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater in response to a measured barometric pressure passing a threshold rate of change.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein changing the operation of the apparatus comprises disabling a feature of the apparatus, enabling a feature of the apparatus, or a combination thereof.
6 . A method comprising:
receiving, by use of a sensor of an apparatus, data corresponding to an environmental factor;
determining, by use of at least one processor of the apparatus, whether the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater; and
in response to the data indicating that the apparatus is underwater, changing operation of the apparatus.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus comprises a smart watch.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the sensor comprises a barometric pressure sensor.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the data comprises barometric pressor data.
10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the environmental factor comprises barometric pressure.
11 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater in response to a measured barometric pressure passing a threshold value.
12 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater in response to a measured barometric pressure passing a threshold rate of change.
13 . The method of claim 6 , wherein changing the operation of the apparatus comprises disabling a feature of the apparatus, enabling a feature of the apparatus, or a combination thereof.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein disabling a feature of the apparatus comprises disabling a touch screen of the apparatus.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein enabling a feature of the apparatus comprises enabling an underwater function of the apparatus.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the underwater function of the apparatus comprises a swim mode of the apparatus.
17 . The method of claim 6 , wherein determining whether the data indicates that the apparatus is underwater comprises detecting whether a measurement of the sensor is outside of a predetermined set of measurements.
18 . A processor, comprising:
at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
receive, by use of a sensor, data corresponding to an environmental factor;
determine whether the data indicates that the processor is underwater; and
in response to the data indicating that the processor is underwater, changing operation of the processor.
19 . The processor of claim 18 , wherein the sensor comprises a barometric pressure sensor.
20 . The processor of claim 18 , wherein the data indicates that the processor is underwater in response to a measured barometric pressure passing a threshold rate of change.
