Abstract

A wearable device is provided with a wearable device structure. The wearable device structure includes a first end and a second end. A plurality of magnets is positioned at the first and second ends that provide for coupling the first end to the second end of the wearable device. At least a portion of adjacent magnets have opposite polarity. ID circuitry is at a surface or an interior of the wearable device structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wearable device, comprising:
a wearable device structure, the wearable device structure including a first end and a second end;
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 electronic component 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;
one or more sensors coupled to the electronic device, the, the one or more sensors acquiring user information selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors, habit information, health parameters, medical monitoring and user monitoring; and
ID circuitry at the electronic device.

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

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

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

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be in communication with a telemetry system.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be in communication with a social network.

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

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:
a memory;
a memory controller;
one or more processing units (CPU's);
a peripherals interface;
a Network Systems circuitry;
an input/output (I/O) subsystem.

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

10. 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.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device further includes:
elements to enable installation of a firmware update.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes:
an alarm.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes:
a multi-protocol wireless controller that in operation characterizes available networks to determine current network information.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes:
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.
