Embodiment Construction

[0023] Embodiments described in this disclosure provide systems, apparatus, computer-readable media, and methods for scaling connection intervals for round-trip data transfers between an activity tracking device and a computing device. A computing device may be a computer executing an activity tracking application (APP). The computing device may take any form so long as it can process information, load and execute applications, and communicate wirelessly with the activity tracking device. For purposes of example, a computing device may be a computer, tablet, smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, watch computer, eyewear computer, or any device with access to memory and processing capabilities.

[0024] The scaling of the connection interval enables dynamic setting of a data transfer rate between the activity tracking device and the computing device based on determined update conditions. The update condition may include detecting that an application (eg, an activity tracking app...

Abstract

The application relates to methods, systems and devices for activity tracking device data synchronization with computing devices. Methods, systems and devices are provided for capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device and transferring the data to a client device at a selected defined transfer rate, based on an update condition. The activity data is captured over time. The activity data is stored in storage of the device. The method sets a data transfer rate between the device and the computing device based upon the detected update condition. The update condition is used to select one of a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time or a second transfer rate for transferring activity data that is displayable in substantial-real time on the computing device. The first transfer rate is set in response to scaling-up a connection interval and the second transfer rate is set in response to scaling-down the connection interval.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for capturing activity data over a period of time and synchronizing data transfer between a tracking device and a client device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the demand for health and fitness has grown significantly. This increase has occurred due to a better understanding of the benefits of good fitness habits for overall physical and mental health. Sadly, while today's modern culture brings with it many new technologies such as the internet, connected devices, and computers, people's activities have become less and less. In addition, many office jobs require people to sit in front of computer screens for long periods of time, which further reduces personal activity levels. Additionally, many of today's entertainment options involve viewing multimedia content, computer social networking, and other types of computer-related interactions. While such computer activity can be extre...
