1. A method of monitoring energy expended by an individual, comprising:
- sensing, by a motion sensor, motion of the individual;
identifying a plurality of activities performed by the individual over a period of time based on the identified motions;
estimating, by a processor, energy expended by the individual for each of the plurality of the plurality of identified activities; and
estimating energy expended by the individual by summing the estimated energy expended for each of the plurality of activities.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and systems of monitoring energy expended by an individual are disclosed. One method includes sensing, by a motion sensor, motion of the individual, identifying a plurality of activities performed by the individual over a period of time based on the identified motions, estimating, by a processor, energy expended by the individual for each of the plurality of the plurality of identified activities, and estimating energy expended by the individual by summing the estimated energy expended for each of the plurality of activities.

19. An apparatus for monitoring energy expended by an individual, comprising:
-
at least one motion sensing device sensing motion of the individual; an artificial neural network receiving the sensed motion, accessing stored coefficients, and identifying at least one activity of the individual; a controller operative to estimate energy expended by the individual for each of the plurality of identified activities, and estimate energy expended by the individual by summing the estimated energy expended for each of the plurality of activities. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
