SYSTEM FOR TRACKING FEMALE FERTILITY
First Claim
1. A method for charting fertility data regarding a female, the method comprising:
- receiving the fertility data regarding the female, the fertility data comprising a temperature of the female and at least a consistency of a cervical fluid of the female;
superimposing at least two two-dimensional coordinate systems in a single graph of a graphical user interface, the at least two two-dimensional coordinate systems comprising a first coordinate system having a temperature dimension and a time dimension and a second coordinate system having a cervical fluid dimension and a time dimension, the superimposing comprising identifying first coordinates corresponding to the temperature in the first coordinate system and identifying second coordinates corresponding to the cervical fluid consistency in the second coordinate system, wherein superimposing the at least two two-dimensional coordinate systems in the single graph comprises aligning the at least two two-dimensional coordinate systems such that coordinates indicating high fertility of the female in each of the at least two two-dimensional coordinate systems are closely aligned; and
displaying the fertility data in the graphical user interface.

Abstract
Described herein are various principles related to collecting and charting fertility data for a female (e.g., female humans). A dedicated device may be used to collect fertility data regarding the female. The device may include a thermometer for collecting a body temperature of the female as well as an interface for collecting data regarding a consistency and/or amount of a cervical fluid of the female. Once collected by the dedicated device, the fertility data may be transmitted wirelessly from the dedicated device via a wireless network (e.g., a wireless local area network) to a server that collects fertility data. The fertility data may then be displayed in a graph that enables a user to make determinations about a fertility cycle of the female, including determinations about times of high fertility. For example, from viewing the relationship between two lines included in the graph, the user may make determinations regarding fertility.

36. A system for managing fertility data regarding a female, the system comprising:
-
at least one device to accept as input fertility data regarding the female, each of the at least one device comprising a thermometer to measure the basal body temperature of the female, and a user interface to accept input regarding a consistency and an amount of cervical fluid of the female, the user interface comprising a plurality of interaction elements each corresponding to a type of consistency of cervical fluid; and at least one server to store fertility data received from the at least one device and to generate a graph for a fertility cycle of the female, the graph comprising a sequence of bars and a line corresponding to fertility data received from the at least one device, the sequence of bars indicating variations in consistency and amount of cervical fluid of the female over time and the line indicating variations in temperature of the female over time, wherein the at least one device and the at least one server are connected via at least one communication network, the at least one communication network comprising a wireless network and the Internet. - View Dependent Claims (37, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

50. A method of distributing fertility data regarding a female, the method comprising:
-
receiving the fertility data regarding the female, the fertility data comprising at least one temperature of the female and at least one indication regarding a cervical fluid of the female; storing the fertility data in a fertility database in association with a user account associated with the female; restricting access to the fertility data on the fertility database to the user account; receiving an instruction from a user for the user account to share the fertility data with at least one second user account; and permitting access to the fertility data on the fertility database by the at least one second user account. - View Dependent Claims (51)
