METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A HEART RATE MONITOR
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- capturing heart rate data for a user with a heart rate sensor that is coupled with a mobile device;
monitoring an activity state of the user from activity data captured by the mobile device;
detecting a constant activity state of the user;
inferring heart rate data for the user from the captured heart rate data during a period in which the user remains in the constant activity state; and
providing the inferred heart rate data, as captured heart rate data, to a heart rate calculator during the period in which the user remains in the constant activity state.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for automatically configuring a mobile device for collecting and inferring heart rate data of a user. The method may include capturing heart rate data for a user with a heart rate sensor that is coupled with a mobile device. The method may also include monitoring a activity state of the user from activity data captured by the mobile device, and detecting a constant activity state of the user. The method may also include inferring heart rate data for the user from the captured heart rate data during a period in which the user remains in the constant activity state. The method may also include providing the inferred heart rate data, as captured heart rate data, to a heart rate calculator during the period in which the user remains in the constant activity state.

27. A mobile device, comprising:
-
an activity sensor; a heart rate sensor; and a processor coupled with the activity sensor and the heart rate sensor, wherein the processor is configured to execute an activity based heart rate monitor to capture heart rate data for a user with the heart rate sensor, monitoring a activity state of the user from activity data captured by the activity sensor, detect a constant activity state of the user, infer heart rate data for the user from the captured heart rate data during a period in which the user remains in the constant activity state, and provide the inferred heart rate data, as captured heart rate data, to a heart rate calculator during the period in which the user remains in the constant activity state. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
