Wearable data hub

A smart shoe apparatus to be worn by a user:

• a positioning apparatus configured to provide a geodetic location of the smart shoe apparatus;
• a wake-up component configured to generate a wake-up signal when the geodetic location of the smart shoe is within a predetermined distance of an activity location;
• a transceiver apparatus configured to receive an activity signal from a transmitter based at least in part on receipt of the wake-up signal thereat, and the activity signal being associated with an activity session of the user;
• and
• a memory apparatus operable to store activity data based at least in part on the activity signal;
• wherein the transceiver apparatus is further configured to transmit an activity download signal based at least in part on the activity data.

A wearable device for use by a user, the wearable device comprising:

• a user interface operable to generate a user command based on a user action;
• a wake up component operable to generate a wake-up signal based on a user action at an exercise activity location;
• a receiver operable to receive an exercise signal from a transmitter based on receipt of the wake-up signal, the exercise signal being associated with an exercise session of the user;
• a memory operable to store exercise data based on the exercise signal and to store a first signature;
• a processing component operable to:
• generate user data as a second signature, the user data being based on at least one of:
• a first combination based on the exercise signal and a second combination based on the exercise data;
• and
• generate a comparison signal based on a comparison of the first signature and the second signature;
• and
• a transmitter operable to transmit an exercise download signal based on the exercise data and to transmit the comparison signal.
