Abstract
The invention concerns a portable computing device comprising a microprocessor capable of running software, hardware means capable of providing at least one physical variable, a memory unit carrying the software adapted to read the physical variable and to perform a mathematical operation utilizing the physical variable. An interface means adapted to allow defining of the mathematical operation in the memory unit by a user of the device. The invention also concerns a firmware product of a microcontroller-operated device, a computer program product and a web service.
Claims27
A portable microcontroller-operated wrist-top computer system for a user comprising:
- a wrist-top computer including,
- a housing;
- a wristband coupled to the housing;
- a memory within the housing;
- a microcontroller including software stored on the memory;
- at least one sensor providing at least one physical variable, wherein the software is adapted to read the physical variable using the at least one sensor and to perform a mathematical operation utilizing the physical variable;
- a rule interface mechanism configured to enable the user to change the contents of a set of rules within the memory;
- and
- a rule interpreter including a command set capable of interpreting the instructions contained in the set of rules;
- and
- an interface adapted to allow defining of the mathematical operation in the memory by the user of the wrist-top computer.
A wrist-top computer firmware product for a user, comprising:
- a display controller adapted to control a wrist-top computer display;
- an operational mode controller functionally connected to the display controller for displaying operational mode-specific information on the wrist-top computer display;
- at least one sensor for reading at least one physical parameter of the user;
- memory including one or more constant parameters of the user and variable operation data defining at least part of the operational mode-specific information of at least one operation mode;
- and
- a microcontroller applying the variable operation data on the physical parameter for producing an operational result including at least part of the operational mode-specific info nation of the at least one operational mode.
A computerized system for functionalizing wrist-top computers, comprising:
- a user account management system configured for maintaining a plurality of user accounts;
- a wrist-top computer operation programming mechanism configured to allow owners of the user accounts to define mathematical operations comprising one or more mathematical operators, one or more physiological variables of the users and mutual relations of the operators and variables, the wrist-top computer operation programming mechanism configured to utilize one or more constant physiological parameters of the users;
- a memory for storing the user-defined mathematical operations for the user accounts,
- a communication link for exporting the user-defined mathematical operations to a wrist-top computer of the owner of the user account or to an external storage device.
