Abstract
This application discloses a method to use sensors for games of skill relating to physical exercise. The method may employ the use of sensors that can collect data, including location using GPS, sense barometric pressure, steps walked, blood oxygen levels, navigational directions, gyroscopic movement, heart rate, and many other data types. Players may challenge other players to competitions wherein the players make a challenge wherein a winning player is rewarded a wager. Data collected by the sensors may be used for metrics to determine the winning player.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving an initiation of a fitness challenge from a first device, the first device associated with a user identity stored in a user database;
- receiving first data including physiological function data and movement data from the first device, the first data being obtained from a sensor;
- processing the data resulting in an established metric;
- verifying the established metric, including:
- capturing information identifying a first user that is connected to the sensor;
- and
- receiving second data associated with the established metric indicating that the first user continues to be connected to the sensor throughout a duration of the fitness challenge;
- checking for anomalies in the established metric during the fitness challenge, including monitoring the first data and the second data for inconsistencies with historical metric data associated with the user identity, third data received from other sensors, or both;
- determining an anomaly is not in the established metric;
- comparing the established metric of the first device to a second established metric of a second device;
- determining a winner of the fitness challenge based on a comparison of the established metric and the second established metric, and further based on the determination that there is not an anomaly in the established metric;
- and
- sending a notification of the winner of the fitness challenge to the first device.

A computer system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing data instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
- receive first data including physiological function data and movement data from the first device, the first data being obtained from a sensor;
- receive an established metric from the first device;
- processing the data resulting in an established metric;
- capture information identifying a first user that is connected to the sensor;
- receive second data associated with the established metric indicating that the first user continues to be connected to the sensor throughout a duration of the fitness challenge;
- check for anomalies in the established metric during the fitness challenge, including monitor the first data and the second data for inconsistencies with historical metric data associated with the user identity, third data received from other sensors, or both;
- compare the established metric of the first device to a second established metric of a second device;
- determine a winner of the fitness challenge based on a comparison of the established metric and the second established metric, and further based on the determination that there is not an anomaly in the established metric;
- and
- send a notification of the winner of the fitness challenge to the first device.
