DETECTION AND COMPENSATION METHOD FOR MONITORING THE PLACE OF ACTIVITY ON THE BODY

摘要

A measuring system (1) comprises a sensor (6) arranged to be attached to a subject for obtaining a measured value representing a physical or a physiological quantity of the subject. The measuring system further comprises means for deriving a subject-related value from the measured value. The sensor is arranged to be attached at one of a plurality of positions on the subject. The measuring system further comprises means for establishing the position of the sensor on the subject. The means for deriving the subject-related value is arranged for deriving the subject-related value also in dependence on the position of the sensor on the subject.

1. An activity monitor device comprising:
an accelerometer configured to gather a measured signal descriptive of a motion of a subject of the activity monitor device, wherein the accelerometer is positionable to move with any one of a plurality of positions on the body of the subject; and a processor in communication with the accelerometer and configured to derive subject-related values, wherein the processor is further configured to:
extract at least one feature from the measured signal,analyze at least one rule based on the at least one feature extracted from the measured signal,determine a current position of the plurality of plurality of positions on the body of the subject at which the accelerometer is positioned based on the analysis of the at least one rule and at least one feature, andalter the derivation of subject-related values based on the determined current position.
