Biometric Monitoring Device having a Body Weight Sensor, and Methods of Operating Same
First Claim
1. A biometric monitoring system comprising:
- a biometric monitoring device to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring device including;
a housing including a platform configured to receive at least one foot of the user and capable of supporting the body weight of the user;
a body weight sensor, mechanically coupled to the platform, to generate body weight data which is representative of the weight of the user;
processing circuitry, disposed in the housing and coupled to the body weight sensor, to calculate user weight data which corresponds to the weight of the user, using the body weight data; and
communication circuitry, physically coupled to the housing, tooutput the user weight data to a portable activity monitoring device; and
the portable activity monitoring device including;
a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the body of the user;
a sensor, disposed in the housing, to generate sensor data which is representative of activity of the user, andcommunication circuitry to;
receive the user weight data, andtransmit the user weight data to data storage which is associated with user identification data, wherein the user identification data identifies the user or the portable activity monitoring device; and
processing circuitry, coupled to the sensor and the communication circuitry, to calculate activity data using the sensor data and user weight data.

Abstract
A system comprising a biometric monitoring device including a housing including a platform to receive at least one foot of the user, a body weight sensor to generate body weight data, processing circuitry to calculate user weight data which corresponds to the user'"'"'s weight, and communication circuitry. The system further includes the portable activity monitoring device including a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the user'"'"'s body, a sensor to generate sensor data, and communication circuitry to transmit the user weight data to data storage which is associated with user identification data (which identifies the user or the portable activity monitoring device), and processing circuitry to calculate activity data using the sensor data and user weight data.
