Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for initiating automated actions using ring-shaped electronic devices. Example methods may include determining, by a ring-shaped electronic device comprising a button, a first user interaction with the button, determining that a first action associated with the first button sequence identifier is to initiate a synchronous communication, determining contact information associated with the first action, and initiating the synchronous communication using the contact information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for detecting hand gestures using ring-shaped electronic devices. Example methods may include determining, by a ring-shaped electronic device comprising a motion sensor, first motion sensor data using the motion sensor, determining a first hand motion associated with the first motion sensor data, determining a first action associated with the first hand motion, and causing the first action to be implemented at a user device that is in wireless communication with the ring-shaped electronic device.

Abstract: A wearable device includes various sensors including a microphone, heart rate monitor, pressure sensor, and so forth. The user can set the device to acquire audio data of their speech. For example, if the pressure sensor indicates the device is being worn and the user's heart rate exceeds a threshold value, audio data may be acquired. Onboard the device the audio data is processed in various ways such as detecting whether the audio data includes speech, applying a beamforming algorithm, compressing and encrypting the audio, and so forth. The audio data may be processed onboard the device, sent to another device, or a combination thereof for processing to determine sentiment data indicative of perceived emotional content of the speech. A user interface provides the user with information based on the sensor data, sentiment data, and so forth.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle is configured to process an image captured by an imaging device, and to identify a portion of the image that is likely to appear in images subsequently captured by the imaging device based on the motion of the aerial vehicle. A control unit aboard the aerial vehicle generates instructions for controlling such motion and provides the instructions to the imaging device. Based on such instructions, the imaging device processes the image to identify a portion of the image that will appear within a field of view of the imaging device following the motion, and selects a shutter speed, an aperture, a level of gain, or another attribute of the imaging device based on the portion of the image, in order to optimize the quality of an image subsequently captured by the imaging device.
