Abstract

A wearable device is provided with a wearable device structure. The wearable device has a first end and a second end. A plurality of magnets is positioned at the first and second ends that provide for coupling of the first end to the second end of the wearable device. At least a portion of the magnets are magnetized through their widths or thickness, e.g., depth. ID circuitry is provided at a surface or an interior of the wearable device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wearable device, comprising:
a wearable device structure, the wearable device including a first end and a second
a plurality of magnets positioned at the first and second ends that provide for closure and locking of the first end to the second end of the wearable device, wherein at least a portion of the magnets are magnetized through at least one of their widths or thickness;
an electronic device coupled to the wearable device structure, the electronic device including a payment activity manager configured to receive from a user payment configuration parameters for each of a designated third party to receive payments, the payment activity manager including a designated third party payment data base that includes designated third party settings with third party IP addresses, payment sources for each of a designated third party, and method of payment, the payment activity manager performing a comparison for each of a designated third party to receive a payment and perform a security check on that designated third party, the payment activity manager performing an authentication of a designated third party for a payment and a tracking of payments for each of a payment transaction to the one or more designated third parties including an initiation of a payment and a conclusion of a payment from the user, the electronic device including a stock activity manager associating one or more stocks of a public company, the stock activity manager configured to monitor activity of a selected stock, accept stock settings made by the user or requested by a designated party, the stock activity manager configured to manage a user instruction to buy or sell one or more stocks, and also calendar one or more notifications to the user to review one or more stocks performance, and to execute the purchase or sale of one or more stocks designated by the user
and
ID circuitry at wearable device or the electronic device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the wearable device structure is at least partially made of a silicone rubber.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the ID circuitry IS at least partially positioned in the interior of the wearable device.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a support structure coupled to the wearable device.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the ID circuitry is coupled to the support structure.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of the magnets are retained at the support structure.

7. The device of claim 1 further comprising:
one or more batteries coupled to the ID circuitry.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first end overlaps the second end of the wearable device.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device includes one or more sensors.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device IS configured to be m communication with a telemetry system.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device IS configure to be m communication with a social network.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a mobile device.

13. The device of claim 12 , further comprising:
a memory;
a memory controller;
one or more processing units (CPU's);
a peripherals interface;
a Network Systems circuitry;
an input/output ( 110 ) subsystem.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device includes an antenna and a unique user ID and one or more sensors.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more sensors acquires information selected from at least one of a wearable device user's activities, behaviors and habit information.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein the ID circuitry includes ID storage, a communication system that reads and transmits the unique ID from an ID storage, a power source and a pathway system to route signals through the circuitry.

17. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
elements to enable installation of a firmware update.

18. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an alarm.

19. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a multi-protocol wireless controller that in operation characterizes available networks to determine current network information.

20. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an activity manager.

21. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a transmit antenna that in operation produces a wireless field;
an amplifier coupled to the transmit antenna;
a load sensing circuit coupled to the amplifier; and a controller coupled to the load sensing circuit.
