Abstract
A user-wearable devices includes an on-body detector that uses one or more sensors of the device to detect whether or not the user-wearable device is being worn by a user. When the user-wearable device is detected as being worn by a user it is operated in a first mode, and when the user-wearable device is detected as not being worn by a user it is operated in a second mode that consumes less power than the first mode. Operating the user-wearable device in the first mode can include enabling wireless communication between the user-wearable device and a base station. Operating the user-wearable device in the second mode can include disabling wireless communication between the user-wearable device and a base station. Operating the user-wearable device in the second mode can also include disabling sensors of the user-wearable device and/or placing sensors of the user-wearable device in a low power mode.
