Communication module for personal performance monitoring and a related device, system and method

摘要

The invention relates to a communication module, monitoring unit and method of monitoring a physical performance. The module has a receiving unit, processing unit and wireless communications unit. With these units the module continuously receives sensor signals from a sensor connected to the communication module, processes the sensor signals to form a plurality of successive data messages containing data at least partly derived from the sensor signals, and transmits the formed data messages to an external wireless receiver device at a plurality of successive transmission time slots using a wireless communication protocol. The processing unit is adapted to add information to the data messages regarding the difference between first time points based on predefined characteristics of the sensor signals and second times points corresponding to transmission slots. The invention allows for relating the individual signals temporally with each other for better overall analysis of the performance.

1. A communication module for monitoring physical performance, comprising
means for continuously receiving sensor signals from a sensor connected to the communication module, a processing unit adapted to continuously process the sensor signals and to form a plurality of successive data messages containing data at least partly derived from the sensor signals, and a wireless communication unit for transmitting the formed data messages to an external wireless receiver device at a plurality of successive transmission time slots using a wireless communication protocol,wherein the processing unit is adapted to:
execute a sensor signal analysis algorithm so as to determine first time points based on predefined characteristics of the sensor signals, determine second time points corresponding to the temporal transmission slots for transmitting of data messages corresponding to said characteristics using the wireless communication unit, and add information on the difference between the first and second time points to said data messages.
