Abstract
Systems and methods are described for verifying physical activities of users. The systems and methods can include tags having tag identifiers, where the tags are affixed to articles of manufacture to be worn or used by the user during physical activity. The tag identifiers can be associated with the articles and can be used by the system and methods for verifying the physical activities of the user via one or more verification procedures.
Claims20
A system for verifying physical activity of a user, the system comprising:
- one or more tags affixed to one or more articles of clothing, the one or more tags including tag identifiers;
- a user device programmed with a verification application, the user device programmed to:
- execute the verification application to:
- activate a verification procedure for retrieving the tag identifiers from the tags,
- define a sequence of interrogation of the tag identifiers,
- associate metadata with the tag identifiers upon retrieval, wherein the metadata includes one or more outdoor geographical locations at which the tag identifiers are retrieved, and
- associate the one or more tag identifiers with the one or more articles of clothing;
- and
- one or more servers in communication with the user device, the one or more servers programmed to receive the tag identifiers and the metadata and to:
- verify the physical activity of the user, and a distance traveled by the user along a route taken between each of the one or more outdoor geographical locations based on the tag identifiers and the metadata.
A method of verifying physical activity of a user, the method comprising:
- executing a verification application on a user device;
- defining a sequence of interrogation of tag identifiers;
- retrieving tag identifiers from tags affixed to articles of clothing associated with the user;
- associating the tag identifiers with:
- metadata upon retrieval of the tag identifiers, wherein the metadata includes one or more outdoor geographical locations at which the tag identifiers are retrieved, and
- the articles of clothing;
- transmitting the tag identifiers and the metadata to one or more servers for verification;
- and
- verifying the physical activity of the user, and a distance traveled by the user along a route taken between each of the one or more outdoor geographical locations by the one or more servers based on the tag identifiers and the metadata.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processing device causes the processing device to:
- execute a verification application on a user device;
- define a sequence of interrogation of tag identifiers;
- retrieve tag identifiers from tags affixed to articles of clothing associated with the user device;
- associate the tag identifiers with:
- metadata upon retrieval of the tag identifiers, wherein the metadata includes one or more outdoor geographical locations at which the tag identifiers are retrieved, and
- the articles of clothing;
- transmit the tag identifiers and the metadata to one or more servers for verification of a physical activity, and a distance traveled by the user along a route taken between each of the one or more outdoor geographical locations by the one or more servers based on the tag identifiers and the metadata.
