1. An activity monitoring device comprising:
- a housing;
one or more components disposed in the housing, the one or more components including one or more sensors configured to capture activity monitoring data;
a memory device for storing the activity monitoring data;
a wireless communications circuit; and
a processor coupled to the wireless communications circuit, the memory device, and the one or more components, the processor configured to access information from the memory device identifying a state of one of the one or more components and determine from the information that the state of the one of the one or more components has changed, the processor is configured to initiate synchronizing of the activity monitoring data with a computing device upon determining that the state of the one of the one or more components has changed, the synchronizing causing sending of the activity monitoring data from the memory device to the computing device via the wireless communications circuit.

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.
