Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are provided for automatically linking a device to an activity tracking device. One method includes receiving, at a device, an identifier from a website. The identifier is for an activity tracker that has been paired to a user account of the website. The method also includes scanning, by the device, for identifiers advertised by one or more activity trackers and identifying the activity tracker by matching the advertised identifier to the identifier obtained from the website. The method then includes automatically establishing a link between the activity tracker and the device.

8. A device, comprising:
-
a memory; wireless communication logic for communicating over the internet with a website and for communicating locally with an activity tracker; and a processor, the processor is configured to process instructions for the device to enable receiving of an identifier from the website, the identifier being for the activity tracker that has been paired to a user account of the website, the processor is further configured to scan for identifiers advertised by said activity tracker or other activity trackers, the processor is configured to identify the activity tracker as a match between one of the advertised identifiers and the identifier received from the website, the processor is then configured to automatically establish a link between the activity tracker and the device based on the match. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. Computer readable media having program instructions for execution by a processor of a device, comprising:
-
program instructions for receiving an identifier from a website, the identifier being for an activity tracker that has been paired to a user account of the website; program instructions for scanning for identifiers advertised by one or more activity trackers; program instructions for identifying the activity tracker by matching one of the advertised identifiers to the identifier obtained from the website; and program instructions for automatically establishing a link between the activity tracker and the device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A device, comprising:
-
a memory; wireless communication logic for communicating over the internet with a website and for communicating locally with an activity tracker; and a processor for executing instructions for obtaining a semi-unique identifier from the website, the semi-unique identifier being for the activity tracker that has been paired to a user account of the website and for scanning for the semi-unique identifier, the scanning being of advertising messages having semi-unique identifiers generated by one or more activity trackers, the processor is configured to execute instructions to identify the activity tracker by matching the semi-unique identifier obtained from the website to a semi-unique identifier advertised in one of the messages and for establishing a link between the activity tracker and the device, the link being established without requiring user initiation to link the activity tracker to the device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
