Alarm Setting and Interfacing with Gesture Contact Interfacing Controls
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an alarm setting that defines a time of day for triggering an alarm on a device for tracking activity data of a user;
activating the alarm upon reaching the time of day defined by the alarm setting, the alarm producing a vibration of the device;
using a sensor to detect a physical contact upon the device; and
deactivating the alarm if the physical contact qualifies as an input to deactivate the alarm, the deactivating causing the vibration of the device to be suspended, wherein the method is executed by a processor.

Abstract
A device configured for capture of activity data for a user includes a housing, a sensor, a motor, a memory, and a processor. The sensor is disposed in the housing to capture physical contact upon the housing. The motor causes vibration of the housing. The memory stores an alarm setting that defines a time of day for triggering an alarm on the device. The processor activates the alarm upon reaching the time of day defined by the alarm setting, with the alarm causing the motor to produce the vibration of the housing. The sensor, which is interfaced with the processor, is configured to detect a physical contact upon the housing. The processor is configured to deactivate the alarm if the physical contact qualifies as an input to deactivate the alarm. The deactivating of the alarm causes the vibration of the device to be suspended.

14. A device configured for capture of activity data for a user, comprising:
-
a housing; a sensor disposed in the housing to capture physical contact upon the housing; a motor for causing vibration of the housing of the device; a memory for storing an alarm setting that defines a time of day for triggering an alarm on the device; and a processor for activating the alarm upon reaching the time of day defined by the alarm setting, the alarm causing the motor to produce the vibration of the housing, the sensor being interfaced with the processor and configured to detect a physical contact upon the housing of the device, the processor configured to deactivate the alarm if the physical contact qualifies as an input to deactivate the alarm, the deactivating causing the vibration of the device to be suspended. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. One or more non-transitory computer readable media including instructions which, when executed by a processor, perform the following operations:
-
receiving an alarm setting that defines a time of day for triggering an alarm on a device for tracking activity data of a user; activating the alarm upon reaching the time of day defined by the alarm setting, the alarm producing a vibration of the device; using a sensor to detect a physical contact upon the device; and deactivating the alarm if the physical contact qualifies as an input to deactivate the alarm, the deactivating causing the vibration of the device to be suspended.
