Abstract
A method of calculating an amount of exercise performed includes measuring noise based on a relative difference in displacement between a skin of a user and a sensor attached to the skin of the user, and determining a number of steps taken by the user based on the measured noise.
Claims20
A method of determining steps of a user, comprising:
- detecting an electrical potential, received from an electrode of a sensor mounted on the user's skin, between the electrode and the user's skin based on relative displacement between the user's skin and the electrode;
- measuring, using a processor, noise in the electrical signal, the noise being generated by a change in the electrical potential generated by a change in the relative displacement between the user's skin and the electrode;
- and
- determining, using the processor, steps taken by the user by analyzing the measured noise based on the change in the relative displacement between the user's skin and the electrode.
