Methods, Systems and Devices for Activity Tracking Device Data Synchronization With Computing Devices

A device configured for capture of activity for a user, comprising,

• a housing;
• a sensor disposed in the housing to capture activity data associated with activity of the user;
• a memory for storing the captured activity data;
• and
• a processor for managing connection of the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link, the processor configured to use a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored in the memory of the device, and configured to use a second transfer rate for transferring activity data for display in substantial-real time on the computing device as the sensor captures the activity data.

A method, comprising,

• capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device, the activity data being captured over a period of time, the activity data quantified by a plurality of metrics and storing the activity data in a storage of the device;
• connecting the device to a computing device over a wireless communication link;
• setting a data transfer rate between the device and the computing device, the transfer rate being one of a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over the period of time or a second transfer rate for transferring activity data that is displayable in substantial-real time on the computing device;
• and
• transferring the activity data from the device to the computing device at the selected first or second transfer rate;
• wherein the first transfer rate is set in response to scaling-up a connection interval and the second transfer rate is set in response to scaling-down the connection interval, the method is executed by a processor.

A computer readable medium for storing program instructions executable by a processor, the computer readable medium comprising,

• program instructions for capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device, the activity data being captured over a period of time, the activity data quantified by a plurality of metrics and storing the activity data in a storage of the device;
• program instructions for connecting the device to a computing device over a wireless communication link;
• program instructions for setting a data transfer rate between the device and the computing device, the transfer rate being one of a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over the period of time or a second transfer rate for transferring activity data that is displayable in substantial-real time on the computing device;
• and
• program instructions for transferring the activity data from the device to the computing device at the selected first or second transfer rate;
• wherein the first transfer rate is set in response to scaling-up a connection interval and the second transfer rate is set in response to scaling-down the connection interval, the method is executed by a processor.
