Abstract
A heart rate monitor includes a user system adjacent to a user'"'"'s skin in communication with a remote processing system. The user system includes a user processor, a user memory coupled to the user processor, a clock signal generator coupled to the processor, a sensing system coupled to the processor for measuring at least a user heart rate, a user transceiver coupled to the processor, a user interface coupled to the processor, and a user antenna coupled to the transceiver. A user battery is coupled to the user processor, the user memory, the clock signal generator, the sensing system, and the user transceiver. The remote processing system includes a remote processor, a remote memory coupled to the remote processor, a remote transceiver coupled to the remote processor, and a remote antenna coupled to the remote transceiver.

15. A method for monitoring a user'"'"'s heart rate with a user system adjacent to a user'"'"'s skin in communication with a remote processing system, the method comprising:
-
sensing with the user system a optical signal indicative of a blood concentration in the user'"'"'s skin; sensing with the user system a signal due to motion of the user system relative to the user'"'"'s skin; and sensing with the user system a signal due to an acceleration of the user system; transmitting the signal indicative of the blood concentration, the signal due to motion of the user system relative to the user'"'"'s skin and the signal due to acceleration of the user system to a remote signal processing system; and determining on the basis of the blood concentration signal, the relative motion signal, and the acceleration signal a heart rate calculated based on the signal indicative of the blood concentration compensated by a correction due to the relative motion signal; and qualifying the calculated heart rate on the basis of the acceleration signal determining whether the optical blood concentration signal has a sufficient signal value to be relied upon for determination of the user'"'"'s heart rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
