Abstract
A watch or other type of portable electronic console that employs a number of different functions in order to improve its usability. The watch may, for example, allow a user to connect the watch to one or more remote electronic devices, such as an electronic performance sensor or MP3 player. The watch then displays information related to the connected electronic devices. Still further, the watch may allow a user to control the operation of one or more connected remote electronic devices. Thus, if the watch is connected to a remote speed/distance monitor employing a calibration variable, then the watch may allow the user to adjust the calibration variable.
Claims20
An athletic watch comprising:
- a processor;
- a display physically connected to the processor;
- a sensor connected to the processor;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the athletic watch at least to:
- record, based upon an approximate breathing rate of a user, an exertion level of the user while exercising;
- determine one or more heart rate zones based on measurements received from the sensor while the user exercises at the exertion level;
- process sensor data associated with the user to determine a heart rate zone, from the one or more heart rate zones, within which the user is exercising;
- and
- display on the display, heart rate limit values associated with the heart rate zones.
An athletic watch comprising:
- a processor;
- a speaker physically connected to the processor;
- a heart rate sensor physically connected to the processor;
- and
- a non-transitory memory physically connected to the processor, and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the athletic watch at least to:
- record, based upon an approximate breathing rate of a user, an exertion level of the user while exercising;
- determine one or more heart rate zones based on first heart rate measurements received from the heart rate sensor while the user exercises at the exertion level;
- prompt the user to exercise while maintaining heart rate within a selected one of the one or more heart rate zones;
- process second heart rate measurements associated with the user to determine whether the user is within the selected one of the one or more heart rate zones;
- and
- communicate through the speaker, heart rate limit values associated with the heart rate zones.
