USE OF GYROSCOPES IN PERSONAL FITNESS TRACKING DEVICES AND BICYCLING ACTIVITIES

摘要

Biometric monitoring devices, including various technologies that may be implemented in such devices, are discussed herein. Additionally, techniques for utilizing gyroscopes in biometric monitoring devices are provided. Such techniques may, in some implementations, involve obtaining swimming metrics regarding stroke cycle count, lap count, and stroke type. Such techniques may also, in some implementations, involve obtaining performance metrics for bicycling activities.

1. A biometric monitoring system comprising:
one or more angular motion sensors; a memory; and control logic, wherein:
the control logic, the memory, and the one or more angular motion sensors are configured to be communicatively connected with one another, andthe control logic is configured to:
a) cause the biometric monitoring system to enter a state associated with riding a bicycle,b) obtain angular motion data from the one or more angular motion sensors when the biometric monitoring system is in the state associated with riding the bicycle, andc) alter information stored in the memory and pertaining to left-right rocking motion of the bicycle based on the angular motion data.
