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 feedback devices for providing feedback, a notice, or an indication to a user based on the monitoring. The device also includes one or more processors for monitoring the activity data, for determining one or more activity metrics based on the activity data, and for causing one or more of the feedback devices to produce an indication to the user that an activity goal has been achieved by the user based on one or more of the activity metrics. The device further includes a portable housing that encloses at least portions of the motion sensors, the processors and the feedback devices.

1. A device comprising:
one or more motion sensors for sensing motion of the device and providing activity data indicative of the sensed motion; one or more feedback devices for providing indications to a user based on the activity data, the one or more feedback devices including one or more vibrating devices for providing vibrating indications to the user; a memory for storing one or more activity goals; one or more processors for:
monitoring the activity data;determining one or more activity metrics based on the activity data;accessing one or more of the stored activity goals;setting, selecting or modifying one or more vibration patterns or other vibrational characteristics of the vibrating indications associated with respective ones of the stored activity goals based on user input; andcausing one or more of the vibrating devices to produce a vibrating indication as set, selected or modified based on the user input to indicate to the user that a particular one of the activity goals has been achieved by the user based on one or more of the activity metrics, the vibrating indication being produced without displaying a corresponding indication unless additional user input is received from the user after the vibrating indication has begun; and a portable housing that encloses at least portions of the motion sensors, the processors and the feedback devices.
