Combining data sources to provide accurate effort monitoring

摘要

By combining data from different sensors (on fitness device, mobile smartphone, smart clothing, other devices or people in same location), an intelligent system provides a better indicator of an individual's physical effort, using rich data sources to enhance quantified metrics such as distance/pace/altitude gain, to provide a clearer picture of an individual's exercise and activity.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor; at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor for: receiving signals from a position sensor from which the processor can calculate a speed and a distance over an interval of time ΔT; receiving at least one signal representing at least one weather condition; receiving at least one signal representing at least one biometric condition of a user of the device; adjusting a baseline value associated with the speed and/or distance based at least in part on the biometric condition and weather condition to render an adjusted baseline; and outputting an indicia of exercise effort based at least in part on the adjusted baseline.
