Abstract
A system assesses activity and displays a unitless activity value. A detector senses activity of a user. A processor reads sensed activity data from the detector. A display displays the unitless activity value. An enclosure houses the detector and the processor. The processor periodically reads the sensed activity data from the detector and processes the data to generate an activity number, the number being used to generate the unitless activity value based upon a maximum number and a display range.
Claims20
A wearable device comprising:
- an input device configured to receive a first input, wherein the first input initiates a collection of data, wherein the data changes as a function of activity over time;
- one or more sensors configured to detect the data during a detection period, wherein the detection period corresponds to an activity by a user of the wearable device performed after the first input;
- processing circuitry configured to process the data detected during the detection period to determine one or more parameters indicative of effort exerted during the activity during the detection period;
- and
- a display configured to display the one or more parameters indicative of the effort exerted during the activity during the detection period relative to a predetermined maximum effort associated with the activity.
A method of detecting data corresponding to an activity performed by a user of a wearable device comprising an input device, one or more sensors, a display, and processing circuitry, the method comprising:
- detecting, with the input device, a first input to initiate a detection period;
- detecting, with the one or more sensors, the data associated with an activity performed by the user during the detection period;
- processing, with the processing circuitry, the detected data to determine one or more parameters indicative of effort exerted during the activity by the user for the detection period;
- and
- displaying, with the display, the one or more parameters indicative of the effort exerted during the activity during the detection period relative to a predetermined maximum effort associated with the activity.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry of a wearable device, cause the wearable device to:
- detect, with an input device, a first input to initiate a detection period;
- detect, with one or more sensors, data associated with an activity performed by a user during the detection period;
- process, with the processing circuitry, the data to determine one or more parameters indicative of effort exerted during the activity by the user for the detection period;
- and
- display, with the display, the one or more parameters indicative of the effort exerted during the activity by the user relative to a predetermined maximum effort associated with the activity.
