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 system to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring system 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, the body weight sensor mechanically coupled to the platform and configured to generate body weight data that is representative of the weight of the user and output the body weight data to processing circuitry; the processing circuitry, the processing circuitry disposed in the housing, communicatively coupled to the body weight sensor, and configured to calculate user weight data that correspond to the weight of the user using the body weight data; and a user interface, wherein the user interface is configured to receive instructions from the user and includes at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of: touch sensors configured to provide touch location input, photodetectors, cameras, audio sensors, motion sensors, and proximity sensors.
