It's coming up on almost 3 years since QoL was announced (Jan 2014). So I think something is up that we haven't really even had a formal product unveiling. 

Even those patents, while they were only made public recently, they were filed in October 2014 ... so almost two years ago.

I'm not sure. I think this will still come out, but it also seems it's clearly hit a snag somewhere.

It's quite possible that Nintendo internally has shifted focus on smartphone games to expand company revenue rather than the untested QoL, remember in Jan 2014 Nintendo hadn't yet decided to make smartphone games.

It's also possible that they've opted to focus more on NX as well.

You do know we are 2015 now? So that makes it less than a year ago since those patents showed up. And next to that, Nintendo revealed exactly on 30 january 2014 they were going to release mobile games:

So I don't think the one rules out the other.

Oops, got my dates mixed up, but still it's been quite a while. 

I do think it's coming out, I just don't know if it's priority no.1 or even 2 for the company. 

It's quite likely QoL which is an entirely different type of product category may require several years for Nintendo to gain brand traction. It's not like gamers are a lock to buy a sleep sensor. 

Whereas smartphone games likely could start making Nintendo large revenue almost immediately.
