Abstract
A wrist-worn device monitors movements of a user with a flexible circuit member. The flexible circuit member is fault tolerant. It may contain extra and/or redundant traces as well as the ability to store data on RAM if the flash memory fails or if some or all trace connections between the processor and flash memory fail. Data stored on the RAM may or may not contain less fidelity. Lower fidelity data may be used to alleviate issues arising if the RAM has less storage capacity than the flash memory.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, sensor data generated by a sensor, the sensor data indicating one or more sensed movements of a user;
- determining a first remaining memory capacity of RAM of a processor of the computing device;
- determining, based on the first remaining memory capacity, that the RAM is approaching a first low capacity condition;
- and
- in response to determining that the first low capacity condition has been satisfied, operating the computing device in a first operational mode.
2 more elements
A device for monitoring user movements, the device comprising:
- a sensor that generates sensor data indicating one or more sensed movements of a user;
- one or more processors connected to the sensor and programmed with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processor, cause the device to:
- receive the sensor data;
- determining a first remaining memory capacity of RAM of a processor of the one or more processors;
- determining, based on the first remaining memory capacity, that the RAM has reached a low capacity condition;
- and
- in response to determining that the low capacity condition has been reached, operating the device in a first operational mode.
