NON-EXERCISE ACTIVITY THERMOGENESIS (NEAT) GAMES AS UBIQUITOUS ACTIVITY BASED GAMING
First Claim
1. A system for tracking physical activity, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor, wherein the sensor is carried by a first user, detects physical movement by said first user, and converts the movement into a signal containing data indicative of the movement;
a transmitter that transmits the signal;
a receiver that receives the signal and transfers the movement data contained in the signal to a storage medium; and
a processor that executes instructions to convert the movement data to a graphic representation of the first user'"'"'s movement.

Abstract
A system for tracking physical activity comprising a sensor that detects movement carried by a first user, converts the movement into an electrical data signal and transmits the signal to a receiver, a receiver that transfers the movement data in the electrical data signal to a storage medium, and a processor that executes instructions to convert the movement data to a graphic representation of the first users movement. A method for monitoring physical activity, comprising attaching a sensor to a user wherein the sensor detects physical movement of the used and converts the physical movement into movement data indicative of the movement, transmitting and receiving the movement data signal, storing the movement data in a storage medium, and analyzing the movement data to monitor physical activity of the user.
