1. An apparatus comprising:
- two or more biometric sensors comprising a heart rate sensor and an altimeter;
an activator of the heart rate sensor;
a heart rate sensor surface area through which the heart rate sensor can collect heart rate data from a user;
at least one processor; and
a memory,wherein;
the heart rate sensor, the altimeter, the activator, the at least one processor, and the memory are communicatively connected, andthe memory stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to cause the heart rate sensor to start collecting heart rate data through the heart rate sensor surface area in response to the activator receiving an activation signal caused by a single user-gesture.

Abstract
A biometric monitoring device measuring various biometric information is provided that allows the person to take and/or display a heart rate reading by a simple user interaction with the device, e.g., by simply touching a heart rate sensor surface area or moving the device in a defined motion pattern. Some embodiments of this disclosure provide biometric monitoring devices that allow a person to get a quick heart rate reading without removing the device or interrupting their other activities. Some embodiments provide heart rate monitoring with other desirable features such as feedback on data acquisition status.
