Abstract
A monitoring system using an activity sensor to determine patterns of activity based upon the user activity occurring over time.
Claims20
A system for monitoring a person, comprising:
- a monitoring device for capturing one or more of a person's exercise activities over a time period;
- said monitoring device comprising an accelerometer providing an output;
- an analyzer for determining at least one pattern of body movement using the output of the accelerometer;
- a transmitter for sending the pattern over a wireless network to a second device which compares the pattern to at least one reference pattern and,
- a receiver for receiving from the second device, an indication of differences between the pattern and the reference pattern.
2 more elements
A monitoring device comprising:
- a sensing device for detecting one or more of a person's exercise activities over a fixed time period;
- said monitoring device comprising an accelerometer and said sensing device producing an output;
- an analyzer utilizing the output of the sensing device to determine at least one pattern of body movement associated with the exercise activities;
- a transceiver for sending the pattern over a wireless network to a second device which compares the pattern to at least one reference pattern, and for receiving from the second device, an acknowledgment of differences between the pattern and the reference pattern.
1 more element
A wearable monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a housing adapted to be worn by a person on a wrist of a person;
- a monitor for capturing one or more of a person's exercise activities over a time period;
- an analyzer to determine at least one pattern of body movement associated with the exercise activities, wherein said analyzer recognizes different types of body movement in determining the pattern;
- a transmitter for sending the pattern over a wireless network to a second device which compares the pattern to at least one reference pattern and,
- a receiver for receiving from the second device, an acknowledgment of differences between the pattern and the reference pattern.
2 more elements
A wrist mounted calorie monitoring device for a user comprising:
- an accelerometer, a processor and a wireless transmitter, wherein
- the processor receives data from the accelerometer and computes, from the data, the number of calories burned by the user during a time period and generates a pattern of activity based upon said number of calories burned, and wherein this pattern is transmitted to a remote terminal by the wireless transmitter.
