Abstract: A wearable electronic device is provided herein. The wearable electronic device includes a body defining an aperture therethrough. The aperture is sized and shaped to receive a finger of a user. The wearable electronic device further includes a computer processor and an input device at least partially extending from an inner surface of the body. The input device is movable between a first position and a second position. Movement of the input device between the first position and second position provides an input to the processor. The electronic wearable device also includes a transmitter coupled to the computer processor and configured to send electronic transmissions to an external electronic device. The electronic transmissions correspond to the input. The electronic wearable device also includes a power source for providing power to the computer processor, the input device and the transmitter.

Abstract: Wearable electronic systems having user interface mirroring based on device position are described herein. The wearable electronic systems include a first wearable electronic device having a display and a second wearable electronic device having a device orientation sensor. The device orientation sensor detects a device orientation of the second wearable electronic device and generates a device orientation signal in response to detecting the device orientation. The first wearable electronic device generates and displays an orientable user interface on its display in response to the first wearable electronic device receiving a first device orientation signal from the second wearable electronic device and dynamically reorients the orientable user interface in response to receiving a second device orientation signal from the first wearable electronic device. Methods of controlling an orientation of an orientable user interface presented on the display of a first wearable electronic device are also described herein.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods establish encrypted communications between wearable electronic devices. In response to a physical contact between a first wearable electronic device and a second wearable electronic device respective impact sensors of the first and second wearable electronic devices generate sensor signals. A first identity signal is transmitted from the first wearable device and received at the second wearable device. The second wearable device determines that at least a portion of the first identity signal corresponds to at least a portion of an expected identity signal and, if so, uses the at least a portion of the first identity signal and the at least a portion of the expected identity signal as encryption keys to provide encrypted communications. The first identity signal and/or the expected identity signal may be at least partially based upon or derived from the sensor signal(s) generated by the impact sensor(s).
