DATA-CAPABLE STRAPBAND
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a first set of data associated with at least one attribute of an activity originating from a first wearable device associated with a first user into a server including a processor and memory;
calculating on the server a difference between the first set of data associated with at least one attribute of the activity originating from the first wearable device associated with the first user and a second set of data associated with at least one attribute of the activity originating from the first wearable device associated with the first user or from a second wearable device associated with a second user, the server further determining a first status of the first wearable device associated with the first user;
communicating the first status from the server to the first wearable device associated with the first user;
wherein the activity is a physical activity in which either the first user or the second user, or both, are engaged.

Abstract
A data-capable strapband is described, including techniques for monitoring co-participation in an activity using a data-capable strapband. Data associated with each co-participant'"'"'s participation in the physical activity may be gathered, processed, analyzed, monitored and compared by each co-participant using data-capable strapbands. Additional devices, such as mobile communications devices, mobile computing devices, computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like, along with any available accompanying software applications, may be used in conjunction with the data-capable strapbands to further analyze the data that is gathered and presented via, for example, a server configured to provide a social networking service.

13. A wearable device, comprising:
-
one or more sensors configured to capture data associated with at least one attribute of an activity; a communications facility configured to communicate the data associated with at least one attribute of the activity to a server, the communications facility further configured to receive a value from the server, the value being determined by calculating the difference between the data associated with at least one attribute of the activity and another set of data associated with at least one attribute of the activity; a memory configured to store the data associated with at least one attribute of the activity and the value; and a notifications facility configured to send an activity update to the user, the activity update being a function of the value received from the server. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving data associated with at least one attribute of an activity originating from each wearable device of a group of at least two wearable devices, aggregating the data associated with at least one attribute of the activity originating from each wearable device from the group of at least two wearable devices to determine an aggregated data set associated with at least one attribute of the activity; receiving data associated with the activity originating from each wearable device of another group of at least two wearable devices, aggregating the data associated with at least one attribute of the activity originating from each wearable device from the other group of at least two wearable devices to determine another aggregated data set associated with at least one attribute of the activity; calculating a difference between the aggregated data set and the other aggregated data set and determining a value associated with the difference; and communicating the value associated with the difference to each of the wearable devices of the group and the other group. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
