Wearable Device Assembly with Ability to Mitigate Data Loss Due to Component Failure

摘要

A wrist-worn device monitors movements of a user with a flexible circuit member. The flexible circuit member is fault tolerant. It may contain extra and/or redundant traces as well as the ability to store data on RAM if the flash memory fails or if some or all trace connections between the processor and flash memory fail. Data stored on the RAM may or may not contain less fidelity. Lower fidelity data may be used to alleviate issues arising if the RAM has less storage capacity than the flash memory.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving sensor data generated by a sensor, the sensor data indicating one or more sensed movements of a user; identifying, at a computing device, when a connection to a flash memory is available; when the connection to the flash memory is available, sending the sensor data to the flash memory via a plurality of traces; and when the connection to the flash memory is not available, storing the sensor data in a RAM of a processor of the computing device.
