Methods And Systems For Identification Of Event Data Having Combined Activity And Location Information Of Portable Monitoring Devices

A method comprising:

• detecting activity of a monitoring device that is configured to be worn by a user, the activity including an amount of movement of the monitoring device and the activity occurring for a period of time;
• obtaining geo-location data for the monitoring device;
• storing, during the period of time, the detected activity and corresponding geo-location data;
• and
• transferring, from time to time, the detected activity corresponding to the geo-location data to a computing device,
• wherein the detected activity and the corresponding geo-location data are used to define one or more events, each event being associated with a group of activity data and one or more of the groups of activity data being associated with an identifier.

A portable apparatus comprising:

• a motion sensor for determining an amount of movement of a user, the user having a user account;
• a time measurement device coupled to the motion sensor, the time measurement device for determining a time period during which the movement occurred;
• a device locator coupled to the time measurement device, the device locator for determining one or more geo-locations of the user during the time period;
• a processor coupled to the device locator, the processor for determining a group of activity data over the period of time and a location of the user over the period of time based on the amount of movement or the geo-locations, the processor for associating the activity data and the location with the user account.
