Updating Firmware to Customize the Performance of a Wearable Sensor Device for a Particular Use
First Claim
1. A method for providing a firmware update to a wearable sensor device, the firmware update being customized for a particular user that uses the wearable sensor device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device, information about a particular user that uses a wearable sensor device that includes one or more sensors for generating sensor data during one or more activities performed by the particular user;
determining, from the information about the particular user, that a first version of firmware installed on the wearable sensor device for controlling at least one of the one or more sensors is not optimal;
generating a second version of the firmware, the second version of the firmware being customized, based on the information about the particular user, to control the at least one of the one or more sensors in a more optimal manner; and
transmitting, by the mobile device, the second version of the firmware to the wearable sensor device such that the second version of the firmware is installed on the wearable sensor device to control the at least one of the one or more sensors in the more optimal manner.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to providing customized versions of firmware to a wearable sensor device. The customized versions of the firmware can allow one or more sensors in the wearable sensor device to perform in a manner that is most optimal for a particular user or the particular manner in which the wearable sensor device is used. In some cases, the customizations can include causing the sensors to use a sampling rate that is optimal for one or more activities that the particular user intends to perform while wearing the wearable sensor device.

17. A method for providing a firmware update to a wearable sensor device, the firmware update being customized for a particular user that uses the wearable sensor device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile device, information that identifies one or more activities that a particular user intends to perform while wearing the wearable sensor device; determining, from the information, that a first version of firmware installed on the wearable sensor device for controlling at least one of the one or more sensors does not control the at least one sensor in an optimal manner for the one or more activities; generating a second version of the firmware, the second version of the firmware being customized, based on the information, to control the at least one of the one or more sensors in a more optimal manner for the one or more activities; and transmitting, by the mobile device, the second version of the firmware to the wearable sensor device such that the second version of the firmware is installed on the wearable sensor device to control the at least one of the one or more sensors in the more optimal manner. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A method for providing a firmware update to a wearable sensor device, the firmware update being customized for a particular user that uses the wearable sensor device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile device, information that identifies one or more activities that a particular user intends to perform while wearing the wearable sensor device; determining, from the information, that a first version of firmware installed on the wearable sensor device for controlling at least one of the one or more sensors causes the at least one sensor to use a first sampling rate that is not optimal for the one or more activities; generating a second version of the firmware that is customized to cause the at least one sensor to use a second sampling rate that is optimal for the one or more activities that the particular user intends to perform while wearing the wearable sensor device; and transmitting, by the mobile device, the second version of the firmware to the wearable sensor device such that the second version of the firmware is installed on the wearable sensor device to control the at least one of the one or more sensors to use the second sampling rate.
