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 apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- prompt a user to exercise at a plurality of successive exertion levels, wherein an exertion level is based on a level of physical fitness of a user;
- determine a plurality of heart rate zones based on first heart rate measurements received from a sensor while the user exercises at the plurality of successive exertion levels;
- generate a prompt instructing a user to exercise while maintaining heart rate within a particular one of the plurality of heart rate zones;
- process second heart rate measurements received from the sensor subsequent to generating the prompt;
- and
- determine whether the second heart rate measurements are within the particular heart rate zone.
A method comprising:
- prompting a user to exercise at a plurality of successive exertion levels, wherein an exertion level is based on a level of physical fitness of a user;
- determining, by a processor, a plurality of heart rate zones based on associated heart rate measurements received from a sensor while the user exercises at the plurality of successive exertion levels;
- generate, by the processor, a prompt instructing a user to exercise while maintaining heart rate within a particular one of the plurality of heart rate zones;
- process, by the processor, further heart rate measurements received from the sensor subsequent to generating the prompt;
- and
- determine, by the processor, whether the further heart rate measurements are within the particular heart rate zone.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing system at least to:
- prompt a user to exercise at a plurality of successive exertion levels, wherein an exertion level is based on a level of physical fitness of a user;
- determine a plurality of heart rate zones based on associated heart rate measurements received from a sensor while the user exercises at the plurality of successive exertion levels;
- generate a prompt instructing a user to exercise while maintaining heart rate within a particular one of the plurality of heart rate zones;
- process further heart rate measurements received from the sensor subsequent to generating the prompt;
- and
- determine whether the further heart rate measurements are within the particular heart rate zone.
