Abstract
Strap watch comprising a first hand normally indicating the hours, a second hand (2) normally indicating the minutes, where appropriate an additional hand , at least one accelerometer, and an electronic control unit which is configured so that it normally causes the time to be indicated by the hands, calculates at least one individual activity amount representative of a physical activity of the user based on information collected by the accelerometer, and displays the activity amount by means of at least one of the hands, whereby the user can very simply view one or more amount(s) relating to his or her physical activity on a compact and conventional analog watch interface.
Claims11
A strap watch intended to be worn by a user, comprising:
- a first hand normally indicating the hours,
- a second hand normally indicating the minutes,
- at least one accelerometer,
- an electronic control unit,
- wherein the electronic control unit is configured so that it normally causes the time to be indicated by the hands, is configured to calculate at least a first individual activity amount representative of a physical activity of the user based on information collected by the accelerometer, and is configured to display said first activity amount by means of at least one of said first and second hands and/or by means of a separate additional hand , whereby the user can very simply view one or more amount(s) relating to his or her physical activity on a conventional analog watch interface.
A method implemented in a strap watch comprising a first hand normally indicating the hours, a second hand normally indicating the minutes, the method comprising the steps of:
- a—capturing information, by means of an accelerometer, relating to at least one physical activity of a user,
- b—calculating at least a first amount of individual activity representative of a physical activity of the user,
- c—displaying, using an analog gauge-based display, said first amount of activity by means of at least one of the hands and/or by means of at least one additional hand.
