Claim 3:
4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the method is further characterized by one or more of the following selected from the group consisting of (a) the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes controlling a wristband of the smartwatch so that at a first time period, the wristband contacts the wrist at first locations of the wrist and further so that at a second time period, the wristband contacts the wrist at second locations of the wrist, (b) the method includes using data output from an ultrasound sensor of a wristband to ascertain a location of a vein within the wrist, and wherein the controlling a smartwatch includes controlling the wristband to preferentially contact the wrist at locations aligned with the vein for improved ultrasound imaging of the vein, (c) the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes adjusting a state of one more microbump disposed on a wrist facing interior surface of a wristband of the smartwatch, (d) the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes adjusting a display screen of the smartwatch to adjust an exposed viewing area dimension of the display screen that is visible to the user, wherein the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes adjusting a state of one more wrist contactable microbump disposed on an interior wrist facing surface of a wristband of the smartwatch, (e) wherein the processing includes querying a predictive model that has been trained with use of historical parameter values associated to the user, the querying returning a prediction as to a perspiration level at the supporting wrist of a user wearing the smartwatch, wherein the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes, in dependence on the prediction, controlling an activation state of a wrist contactable microbump formed on a wristband of the smartwatch, and (f) the processing includes querying a predictive model that has been trained with use of historical parameter values associated to the user, the querying returning a prediction as to a temperature at the supporting wrist of a user wearing the smartwatch, wherein the controlling the smartwatch in dependence on the processing data includes, in dependence on the prediction, controlling an activation state of a wrist contactable microbump formed on a wristband of the smartwatch.
