in the form of a wrist-watch, incorporating a display, a central processing
unit (CPU), an electronic watch module, microphone, speaker, vibration motor,

devices, such as mobile telephones for cellular networks; the device also
contains Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication) wireless technology. The
device provides certain functionality after initialization with a host device
but while used separately from that device, including retrieving and viewing
cached information and wireless communications through WiFi and NFC : view date
and time; play music; view photos; access cached calendar and reminders; view
cached email and messages; NFC payment systems; accessing health and fitness
features. When “paired” with a host device, additional features are available,
including : accepting/rejecting phone calls; digital audio
recording/reproduction; accessing media (including images, videos and music)
stored on the host device; using GPS-based programs; viewing and replying to
text and e-mail messages; tracking information from other applications on the
host device, such as the weather; wirelessly control other devices.
