Claims26
A method comprising:
- reading an electronics module identifier for an electronics module;
- reading a wearable article identifier for a wearable article associated with the electronics module;
- and
- associating the electronics module identifier with the wearable article identifier.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein reading the wearable article identifier comprises reading a machine-readable code of the wearable article.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, further comprising:
- obtaining activity data and an electronics module identifier from an electronics module;
- and
- identifying the user wearing the electronics module by identifying the wearable article identifier associated with the electronics module identifier.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, further comprising:
- obtaining activity data and electronics module identifiers from a plurality of electronics modules;
- and
- for at least one of the electronics modules, identifying the user wearing the electronics module by identifying the wearable article identifier associated with the received electronics module identifier for the wearable article.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, further comprising:
- obtaining a wearable article identifier for a wearable article;
- using the wearable article identifier to identify an electronics module identifier associated with the wearable article identifier;
- and
- using the electronics module identifier to obtain activity data from for the user wearing the wearable article from the electronics module.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, further comprising transmitting the associated electronics module identifier and the wearable article identifier to an external apparatus.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the step of reading a wearable article identifier for a wearable article comprises reading a non-visible wearable article identifier for a wearable article associated with the electronics module;
- and the step of associating the electronics module identifier with the wearable article identifier comprises associating the electronics module identifier with the non-visible wearable article identifier.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first reader arranged to read an electronics module identifier for an electronics module;
- a second reader arranged to read a wearable article identifier for a wearable article associated with the electronics module;
- and
- a controller operable to associate the electronics module identifier with the wearable article identifier.
