Scale-based time synchrony
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a weighing-scale platform and weighing-scale housing configured and arranged for a user to stand on the platform;
in the housing, a plurality of sensors and sensor-data processing circuitry configured and arranged to collect a first set of physiological data from the plurality of sensors and specific to the user while the user is standing on the platform, the first set of physiological data from the user having a time-based interval or time-based metric; and
data-assimilation circuitry being configured and arranged to provide synchronization by;
identifying and connecting to a peripheral device including physiological-measuring circuitry with a second set of physiological data, the second set of physiological data being from and specific to the user and being subject to time-based inaccuracies relative to the time-based interval or time-based metric, andwhile accounting for the time-based inaccuracies, comparing aspects of the first and second sets of physiological data and therein correcting for the time-based inaccuracies between the first and second sets of physiological data using a time reference message shared between the platform and the peripheral device.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a weighing-scale platform, housing, and a plurality of sensors and sensor-data processing to collect a first set of physiological data while the user is standing on the platform. The first set of has an accuracy component that is dependent on or defined using a time-based interval or time-based metric. The apparatus further includes data-assimilation circuitry to provide synchronization by accessing a profile having information for identifying the user, accessing an indication of the time interval or metric derived from the first set of physiological data specific to the user, identifying a peripheral device including physiological-measuring circuitry with a second set of physiological data, the second set of physiological data being from and specific to the user, and while accounting for the time-based inaccuracies, comparing aspects of the first and second sets of physiological data.
