Abstract
Systems and methods for prompting a user to perform an exercise and monitoring the exercise are provided. Multiple independent sensors or sensor systems may be used to calculate energy expenditure. Various criteria may be used to manually or automatically select the independent sensor or sensor system or combination that will be used with the energy expenditure calculations.
Claims15
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing system to perform a method comprising:
- detecting, with a first sensor, athletic activity of a user while performing an exercise;
- detecting, with a second sensor, the athletic activity of the user while performing the same exercise;
- selecting one of the first sensor and the second sensor;
- calculating, using data received from the selected sensor, an energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the exercise;
- displaying, by a first display device associated with the selected sensor, the energy expenditure estimate of the user;
- and
- disabling a second display device associated with the non-selected sensor.
A computerized system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a first sensor configured to monitor athletic activity of a user while performing exercise;
- a second sensor configured to monitor athletic activity of the user while performing the same exercise;
- a first display device associated with a selected sensor;
- a second display device associated with a non-selected sensor;
- and
- at least one tangible non-transitory memory device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system at least to:
- monitor, with the first sensor, the athletic activity of the user while performing the exercise;
- monitor, with the second sensor, the athletic activity of the user while performing the same exercise;
- select one of the first sensor and the second sensor;
- calculate, using data received from the selected sensor, an energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the exercise;
- display, by the first display device associated with the selected sensor, the energy expenditure estimate of the user;
- and
- disable the second display device associated with the non-selected sensor.
A sensory device, configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
- a processor;
- at least two display devices;
- a first sensor;
- a second sensor;
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the sensory device to perform:
- detecting, with the first sensor, athletic activity of a user while performing an exercise;
- detecting, with the second sensor, the athletic activity of the user while performing the same exercise;
- selecting one of the first sensor and the second sensor;
- calculating, using data received from the selected sensor, an energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the exercise;
- displaying, by a first display device, from the at least two display devices, associated with the selected sensor, the energy expenditure estimate of the user;
- and
- disabling a second display device, from the at least two display devices, associated with the non-selected sensor.
