FITNESS MONITORING DEVICE WITH USER ENGAGEMENT METRIC FUNCTIONALITY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of interacting with a user to promote engagement with a fitness monitoring device configured to measure a fitness parameter of the user, the method comprising:
- detecting user engagement with the fitness monitoring device on multiple occasions, wherein each user engagement produces at least one measurement of the fitness parameter;
receiving a level of engagement metric for the user based, at least in part, on multiple detected user engagements with the fitness monitoring device; and
generating, based on the level of engagement metric, a notification containing information designed to encourage the user to perform one or more actions selected from the group consisting of;
engage with the fitness monitoring device more frequently than at present and maintain a present level of engagement with the fitness monitoring device.

11. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; a memory; a first biometric sensor; and a notification mechanism, wherein; the first biometric sensor is configured to measure one or more fitness parameters of a first person, the first biometric sensor, the notification mechanism, the one or more processors, and the memory are communicatively connected, and the memory stores instructions for controlling the one or more processors to; detect user engagement by the first person with the first biometric sensor on multiple occasions, wherein each user engagement produces at least one measurement of a fitness parameter using the first biometric sensor; determine a level of engagement metric for the first person based, at least in part, on multiple detected user engagements with the fitness monitoring device and the first person'"'"'s frequency of user engagement with the first biometric sensor; and from the level of engagement metric, generate, using the notification mechanism, a notification containing information designed to encourage the first person to more frequently engage with the first biometric sensor and/or maintain a level of engagement with the first biometric sensor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
a housing; at least one biometric sensor configured to measure at least one fitness parameter of a person associated with the apparatus; a notification mechanism, wherein the notification mechanism is selected from the group consisting of;
a visual indicator, a tactile indicator, an audio indicator, an electronic communications interface, and combinations thereof; anda controller including one or more processors and a memory, wherein; the one or more processors and the memory are communicatively connected, and the memory stores instructions for controlling the one or more processors to; receive an instruction to activate the notification mechanism to indicate that the person associated with the apparatus should use the apparatus to obtain a measurement of the at least one fitness parameter using the at least one biometric sensor, and cause the notification mechanism to provide an indication that the person associated with the apparatus should use the apparatus to obtain a measurement of the at least one fitness parameter using the at least one biometric sensor. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
