[0135] Example - Rock Climbing Activity Type Pattern

[0136] In some embodiments, NFC or other short-range wireless communications such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and / or ANT+ are used in a climbing setting. Climbers contact climbing ropes and / or climbing wall features with their hands and feet to climb upwards, including defined routes (predefined areas, paths, and / or sets of climbing ropes available for climbing, and usually given corresponding the initial climbing rope and the final climbing rope according to its level of difficulty. In one embodiment, an active or passive NFC-enabled device or tag is mounted at a location including, but not limited to, to interface with one or more climbing ropes or locks embedded in a sport climbing course Active or passive NFC-enabled chip or device communication in, on, or near buckles: user's hands, gloves, wristbands, feet, shoes, other body parts, wearable clothing, pockets, belts, belt loops, Belts, shirt sleeves, shirt collars, shoes,...

Abstract

The present application relates to methods for operating multimodal sensor devices and associated equipment. The present invention provides a BMD with multiple device modes depending on the operating conditions of the device, such as exercise intensity, device placement, and / or activity type, associated with various data processing algorithms. In some embodiments, the BMD is implemented as a wrist-worn or arm-worn device. In some embodiments, a method for tracking a physiological metric using the BMD is provided. In some embodiments, the process and the BMD apply time-domain analysis to data provided by sensors of the BMD when the data has a high signal (e.g., a high signal-to-noise ratio) and when the data has Frequency domain analysis is applied to the data at low signal, which leads to improved accuracy and speed of biometric data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods for operating multimodal sensor devices and associated equipment. Background technique [0002] The sensor device may infer biometrics of interest from sensor data associated with the user's activity. However, in many implementations of sensor devices, high accuracy of biometric estimates is achieved by limiting the type and / or intensity of activity that the sensor device can monitor. For example, it is recommended to wear a pedometer in the left mid-armpit position for the most accurate step counts (Horvath et al., 2007). Even with ideal placement, pedometers may not provide reliable step counts due to overestimation or underestimation of steps in some activities such as car rides. [0003] The placement of the sensor device is an important constraint. Users of sensor devices prefer to wear their portable sensor devices at convenient locations. However, these convenient locations are often not ideal for col...
