First Claim
Patent Images
1. A portable activity-monitoring device comprising:
- monitoring circuitry to generate user-activity data corresponding to activity of an individual bearing the portable activity-monitoring device; and
communication circuitry, coupled to the monitoring circuitry, to intermittently broadcast a notification signal to be received by a wireless communication device, the notification signal conveying information that identifies the portable activity-monitoring device and that indicates whether or not the portable activity-monitoring device seeks establishment of a wireless communication link to enable transmission of the user-activity data to the wireless communication device.

Abstract
A notification signal, intended to be received by a wireless communication device, is repetitively broadcast by a portable activity-monitoring device that generates user-activity data corresponding to activity of an individual bearing the portable activity-monitoring device. The notification signal conveys information that identifies the portable activity-monitoring device and indicates whether or not the portable activity-monitoring device seeks establishment of a wireless communication link to enable transmission of the user-activity data to the wireless communication device.
