Biometric monitoring device having a body weight sensor, and methods of operating same

摘要

A system comprising a biometric monitoring device including a housing including a platform to receive at least one foot of the user, a body weight sensor to generate body weight data, processing circuitry to calculate user weight data which corresponds to the user's weight, using the body weight data, and communication circuitry to: (a) receive user identification data which identifies the user or a portable activity monitoring device, and (b) transmit the user weight data to data storage associated with the user identification data. The system further includes the portable activity monitoring device including a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the user's body, a sensor to generate sensor data, and communication circuitry to receive physiologic data which is based on the user weight data, and processing circuitry to calculate activity data using the sensor data and physiologic data.

主权项

1. A biometric monitoring device to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring device comprising:
a first housing including a platform configured to receive at least one foot of the user and capable of supporting the body weight of the user; a body weight sensor, mechanically coupled to the platform, the body weight sensor configured to generate body weight data that is representative of the weight of the user; one or more physiological sensors in addition to the body weight sensor; and first processing circuitry, disposed in the first housing and operatively connected to the body weight sensor and the one or more physiological sensors, the first processing circuitry configured to:
a) calculate user weight data that corresponds to the weight of the user using the body weight data,b) identify the user,c) responsive to b), obtain a user profile associated with the user, wherein the user profile includes data indicating whether the user is a person selected from the group consisting of: a pregnant female and a person with a pace maker, andd) analyze the user profile to determine whether the user is a pregnant female or a person with a pacemaker, ande) disable, responsive to a determination in (d) that the user is a pregnant female or a person with a pacemaker, at least one of the one or more physiological sensors.
