System and method for activating a device based on a record of physical activity

摘要

In a redeemable coupon there is a housing, a motion detector coupled to the housing, wherein the motion detector detects an amount of motion of the coupon, and an indicator coupled to the motion detector, wherein the indicator is activated by the motion detector upon detecting the amount of motion. Additionally, in a method of providing an incentive for a user to exercise, providing the user with a coupon to be coupled to the user, monitoring the motion of the user with a motion sensor included in the coupon, and activating the coupon when the motion sensor has detected a predetermined amount of motion such that the coupon becomes redeemable by the user.

主权项

1. An apparatus for encouraging physical activity of a user, the apparatus comprising:
a wearable device comprising a removable component having one or more motion sensors that monitor physical activity of the user based on a motion of the removable component, wherein the removable component includes a computer memory, wherein the removable component includes circuitry configured to disregard physical activity monitored by the one or more motion sensors that is less than a value of a threshold amount of physical activity set in the computer memory, the circuitry further configured to record in the computer memory physical activity monitored by the one or more motion sensors that is greater than the value of the threshold amount of physical activity set in the computer memory, wherein the removable component includes a visual indicator that indicates an amount of the monitored physical activity recorded in the memory; and wherein the removable component wirelessly communicates information related to the monitored physical activity recorded in the memory to at least one secondary device.
