Performing an operation during inferred periods of non-use of a wearable device

摘要

A wearable computing device is described that predicts, based on movement detected, over time, by the wearable computing device, one or more future periods of time during which the wearable computing device will not be used. Responsive to determining that the wearable computing device is not being used at a current time, the wearable computing device determines whether the current time coincides with at least one period of time from the one or more future periods of time. Responsive to determining that the current time coincides with the at least one period of time, the wearable computing device performs an operation.

1. A method comprising:
determining, based on movement of a wearable computing device over time, a recurring period of time during which a frequency of movement associated with the movement satisfies a threshold for indicating that the wearable computing device is not being worn; predicting, by a processor, based on the recurring period of time, one or more future periods of time during which the wearable computing device will not be worn; responsive to determining that the wearable computing device is not being worn at a current time, determining, by the processor, whether the current time coincides with at least one period of time from the one or more future periods of time; and responsive to determining that the current time coincides with the at least one period of time, performing, by the wearable computing device, an operation by at least outputting, for display during the at least one period of time, a security challenge graphical user interface in response to detecting future movement of the wearable computing device during the at least one period.
