Portable monitoring devices and methods of operating the same

摘要

In one aspect of the disclosed implementations, a device includes one or more motion sensors for sensing motion of the device and providing activity data indicative of the sensed motion. The device also includes one or more processors for monitoring the activity data, and receiving or generating annotation data for annotating the activity data with one or more markers or indicators to define one or more characteristics of an activity session. The device also includes one or more feedback devices for providing feedback, a notice, or an indication to a user based on the monitoring. The device further includes a portable housing that encloses at least portions of the motion sensors, the processors and the feedback devices.

1. Tangible storage media comprising non-transitory instructions executable by a processor to cause operations to be performed including:
sensing, by one or more sensors, motion of a portable monitoring device; receiving activity data indicative of the sensed motion, the activity data pertaining to a physical activity undertaken by a user of the device to whom the device is physically coupled; monitoring the activity data; receiving or generating annotation data for annotating the monitored activity data with one or more markers or indicators to define one or more characteristics of a physical activity session, the annotation data including an indication of a particular user activity performed by the user during the physical activity session and at least one of a start time and an end time of the physical activity session; and determining one or more activity metrics based on the monitored activity data and the annotation data.
