Abstract
A biometric monitoring device with a display is provided. The biometric monitoring device may track the completion progress towards one or more biometric performance goals and provide a goal celebration indicator upon completion of a biometric performance goal and subsequent receipt of an input signal. In some implementations, the completion of a biometric performance goal may be signaled prior to receipt of the input signal using a secondary indicator.
Claims28
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more biometric sensors;
- a notification system;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory, wherein:
- the memory, the at least one processor, and the one or more biometric sensors are communicatively connected with one another, and
- the memory stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to:
- a) receive biometric data from the one or more biometric sensors,
- b) calculate at least one biometric performance measurement using the biometric data, wherein the at least one biometric performance measurement is calculated by incrementing the at least one biometric performance measurement, at least in part, each time the biometric data exceeds a threshold,
- c) determine progress towards a first biometric performance goal based on the at least one biometric performance measurement, and
- d) increase the threshold when (c) indicates that a substantial portion of the first biometric performance goal has been met.
