How Smart Watches or Smart Gadgets can truly be made Smart?

The Smart Watches that we currently have in market or will see in the forthcoming years cannot become truly Smart if they don't present the users with something that is based on disruptive innovation and makes the prospective users accept it as a daily need rather than just providing them with a new accessory for a fashion or geeky statement.

These smart watches will be mere "Mobile Phones" miniaturized and redesigned for wrists having the same redundant phone features without presenting the users with joy and excitement of using a truly remarkable smart companion. 

The features that should be included in a true smart watch in order to stand out as a successful product needs to be supported with focused research & development plus with an understanding that redundant products don't last long but the products can creates their own market does.

Points that can make present day smart watches truly "Smart" are:

1. A smart watch should have its own tech to access the internet. It is a "Good to Have" feature now that the present day smart watches rely on mobile phones for the same but in future such devices would not be worthy as they are bound to lose user's interest. Mainly because of short battery life, relying on bluetooth short ranges etc. A smart watch that will have its own internet access power will stand out and that access should be supported in all forms like SIM, Wi-Fi or Tethering.
2. A smart watch needs to have the ability to set smart notifications. A smart notification is like suppose I like to get updated about Formula1 news but I do not want all the news to be collected but only one like Ferrari/Alonso standing in Australian Race. Price of USD/INR fluctuation below certain level etc. Check how many colleagues have voted yes for an weekend outing only with a vote count notification after my Friday's 3:00 pm meeting, remind me of my friend's ping in the evening that I checked but not replied etc. If we can provide with this ability to set smart notifications then that would be a really helpful feature. 
3. Judging the mood of the wearer would be wonderful for example the best way to do it is to notice that how many times the wearer had a laugh in a day or how many times he paid for Starbucks coffee or how late he slept and got up matching it with physical activity next day. So there are many ways in which this also can be tracked and can provide more than just activity tracking. Once we know the mood of the wearer we can make other features on the smart watch behave accordingly like if the person is happy then we can tell him about weekend's weather or latest movie, if wearer is tired due to busy day and less sleep we can decrease the notifications and give the person a more peaceful aura and so on and so forth.
4. Provide the watch with the ability to detect health conditions like if a user's blood pressure always stays at 80/120 with 5% variations normally but if there is steep rise or fall then watch can ask for SOS alert to preset emergency numbers. If there is sudden rise or fall of heartbeat then ask for user's attention and there can be many other features that can help in this way.
5. Usage of smart watch's processing power when it is not used at some points of day in order to collect meaningful data/info for the user like I wish to know relation between ontology and knowledge engineering then ask the watch to search through Google's top 10 search results for this and present with a informational summary.
6. Learn through user engagement like there are times in a day when user will spend time on the watch like going through notifications, checking news headlines or set preferences. So this time can be used to push the user with the info that he/she has shown more interest in like checking of social networking feeds, checking calendar for planning, reminder to reply missed pings/calls/texts etc
7. Make use of sensors on device to provide with relevant information at relevant time
8. Ability to connect derive and use information about the user from all the computational platforms like desktop, laptop, phones, home automation systems, music players, other smart devices or sensors. This can be achieved by slowly building the ecosystem or by providing smart watch all possible ways it can connect to these external electronic environments without owning them but via collaboration.
9. Ability to get long battery life or power through solar energy or utilization of human body heat/movement for energy purposes until other sufficiently advanced technologies are not fully developed for commercial use. What if your watch charges if you tie it around your leg and go for a run? 
10. Most importantly it should have the ability to take feeds from smart watches of friends or relatives who authenticate for example only sharing their Lunch time location so that we can meet up and discuss new ideas. My brother shares his latest time spend in gym for a push-up challenge. My wife's mood share to plan the weekend :) etc.
11. Ability to provide probabilistic predictions based on my personality like if I ask my smart watch that what will be the best time to go downtown for getting my prized possession watch glass fixed so that there is minimal traffic based delay, or how frequently I need to walk in office so that I can burn at least 500 calories etc
12. Ability to give me geo-location based feeds of interesting stuff that is happening around like I am travelling to a trekking track but there is hot water spring nearby or if I go to a movie in the evening and find that there will be a surprise visit by the star cast at that theater. So all this stuff can be taken from search services available but the striking point is the semantics that will make this possible
13. Providing the watch with enough computational power so that it can be connected to a larger display and students in developing nations can use it for very basic & general computer related jobs like net browsing, video streaming, communication etc.
14. Lastly giving watch the power to authenticate or securely identify the wearer. For example if a pin is required for a transaction smart watch can generate one based on encryption to authenticate a payment, provide secure identification for monitored areas, and provide security officials with users identification in case of fatal incidents.

These are few ideas that can make a smart watch truly "Smart", working and learning ways on how some day these can be implemented. So continue to make your grey matter more dense and enjoy the gifts & joy of learning each day more about science & technology.
