Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless exercise monitoring system for interactively monitoring an aspect of exercise, sports, or fitness utilizing a wearable device, such as a watch, eyewear, or smart apparel. The device is equipped with, or connected to, a digital camera. Sensors integrated with, or wirelessly connected to, the wearable internet device record physiological data during exercise and data measuring the amount of exercise performed. The data and visual images from the camera are transmitted to one or more internet servers, and may be shared with other mobile internet devices.
Claims11
A system for monitoring exercise, comprising:
- a mobile internet device configured to be carried on a person, the mobile internet device including:
- a keyboard, keypad, or voice processing technology for receiving user input, an integral digital camera, and a generic port providing a connection to an exercise monitoring device;
- a communications port providing an interactive wireless connection with one or more internet servers;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for providing a user interface for displaying visual images including graphics, photographs, and video clips;
- the non-transitory computer readable medium further having instructions stored thereon for performing a method comprising steps of:
- receiving a first type of data that is physiological data measured during exercise, and receiving a second type of data that is an amount of exercise work performed;
- receiving a third type of data representing visual images captured by the camera, and
- transmitting the first type of data measuring the physiological data, the second type of data measuring the quantitative amount of exercise work performed, and the third type of data representing the visual images, to one or more internet servers, and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium residing on one or more internet servers having instructions stored thereon defining a server application for performing a method comprising steps of:
- receiving the first type of data that is the physiological data, and receiving the second type of data that is a quantitative amount of exercise work performed, and receiving the third type of data representing visual images from the mobile internet device;
- processing the first, second, and third types of data;
- transmitting the processed data to the mobile internet device in response;
- and
- transmitting the processed data to a second mobile device, whereby a user of the second mobile device may review the transmitted data and images;
- wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium of the wireless internet device further has instructions for causing the wireless internet device to receive and display the processed data on the user interface of the wireless internet device.

A method of monitoring exercise using a mobile internet device wherein the mobile internet device is a device configured to be carried on a person and including a keyboard, keypad, or voice processing technology for user input, a digital camera, and a display for data or images;
- the mobile internet device connected in wireless communication with a network, comprising:
- receiving a first type of data that is physiological data measured during exercise, and further receiving a second type of data, the second type of data being an amount of exercise work performed;
- receiving a third type of data representing visual images captured by the digital camera, the visual images including photographic or video images;
- and
- displaying the first, second, or third types of data on the mobile internet device;
- transmitting the first, second, or third types of data to one or more internet servers;
- and
- transmitting from the one or more internet servers the processed data to a second mobile device, whereby a user of the second mobile device may review the transmitted data and images.
