Abstract
A smart watch described in this document includes hardware and software necessary to obtain motion and sensor data from a user wearing the smart watch. The described smart watch can continuously collect sensor data from the user and combine the sensor data from multiple sensors to enhance the accuracy of the sensor data analysis and provide relevant feedback information to the user. In addition, the described smart watch is capable of pairing with an external personal portable device, such as a smartphone or tablet to correlate the collected sensor data with activities performed by the user on the paired device. The smart device can also transmit data to a cloud server to collect sensor data and correlation analysis data for further analysis and provide statistical analysis of the collected sensor data and correlation analysis data.
Claims26
A smart watch comprising:
- at least one motion sensor to sense motion of a user and generate motion data from the sensed motion;
- at least one biometric sensor to sense one or more biometric parameters of the user and generate biometric data from the sensed one or more biometric parameters, wherein the one or more biometric sensors include a heartbeat sensor;
- an optical sensor to generate optical data of the user containing information indicative of whether the user is maintaining an eye-focus on the smart watch;
- a microcontroller to control the at least one motion sensor, the at least one biometric sensor, and the optical sensor;
- a real-time clock to maintain time;
- a wireless radio to pair with an external device;
- and
- a display module,
- wherein the microcontroller is configured to:
- analyze the motion data and the biometric data to switch between a standard mode and an active mode,
- analyze the optical data to determine whether the user is maintaining an eye-focus on the smart watch, wherein the smart watch is kept in a current mode or switched to a standby mode in response to whether the user is maintaining the eye-focus on the smart watch,
- pair with the external device comprising a smart phone,
- correlate the biometric data and the motion data with a current application running on the smart phone or content being played to determine a reaction of the user to the current application or content,
- process the motion data and the biometric data to identify an activity being performed by the user, wherein the identified activity comprises running, swimming, or walking, and
- couple the biometric data with the motion data to determine whether the identified activity burns more calories than other activities,
- wherein the smart watch is configured to continuously monitor, after an authentication of the user, the heart beat sensor to determine whether the smart watch is being continuously worn by the user, and configured so that when the smart watch is continuously worn by the user, continuing the authentication of the user and discontinuing the authentication when the smart watch is taken off the user.
