Abstract

An activity tracking arrangement is configured to provide activity data to a user. The activity tracking arrangement includes a sensor device and an associated display device. The sensor device is configured to be carried by the user and includes at least one sensor configured to obtain activity data associated with at least one of a plurality of personal metrics for the user. The display device is configured to receive the activity data obtained by the sensor device and display the activity data obtained by the sensor device in sector form on a display screen. Each of the plurality of personal metrics is associated with one of a plurality of sectors on the display screen. Each of the plurality of sectors includes a first area associated with progress toward a goal for the associated personal metric and a second area associated with remaining requirements to reach the goal for the associated personal metric.

Claims

1. An activity tracking arrangement configured to provide activity data to a user, the activity tracking arrangement comprising:

a sensor device configured to be carried by the user, the sensor device including at least one sensor configured to obtain activity data for the user; and

a display device including a display screen, the display device configured to receive the activity data obtained by the sensor device, process the activity data obtained by the sensor device into at least one personal metric of a plurality of personal metrics for the user, and display the plurality of personal metrics for the user on a chart on the display screen, wherein each of the plurality of personal metrics for the user is associated with one of a plurality of sectors on the chart, and wherein each of the plurality of sectors includes a first area associated with progress toward a goal for an associated personal metric and a second area associated with remaining requirements to reach the goal for the associated personal metric.

2. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1, wherein the chart is a wheel and each the plurality of sectors on the display screen are circular sectors.

3. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 2 wherein each of the circular sectors is a quadrant.

4. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of sectors on the chart is separated from an adjacent sector on the chart by a linear gap.

5. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 4 further comprising a central hub, each linear gap extending radially from the central hub.

6. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 wherein the plurality of personal metrics include total steps, calories consumed, calories spent, and time of sleep.

7. The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 wherein the sensor device is a fitness tracker configured to determine steps taken by the user or a heart rate of the user.

8. The activity tracking device of claim 1 wherein the at least one personal metric is at least one first personal metric, and wherein the display device is further configured to receive activity data input manually by the user, process the activity data input manually by the user into at least one second personal metric of the plurality of personal metrics, and associate the at least one second personal metric with another of the plurality of sectors on the chart.

9. A non-transient computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling a display device by:

receiving activity data from a sensor device carried by a user, the activity data associated with at least one of a plurality of personal metrics;

processing the activity data received from the sensor device for presentation on a display screen in sector form; and

displaying the processed activity data in sector form on the display screen, wherein each of the plurality of personal metrics is associated with one of a plurality of sectors on the display screen, and wherein each of the plurality of sectors includes a first area associated with progress toward a goal for an associated personal metric and a second area associated with remaining requirements to reach the goal for the associated personal metric.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the plurality of sectors on the display screen are circular sectors.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 10 wherein each of the circular sectors is a quadrant.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein each sector on the display screen is separated from an adjacent sector on the display screen by a linear gap.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 12 further comprising a central hub, each linear gap extending radially from the central hub.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the plurality of personal metrics include total steps, active minutes, calories consumed, and time of sleep.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the sensor device is configured to determine steps taken by the user or a heart rate of the user.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 9 further comprising receiving activity data input manually by the user, the activity data input manually by the user associated with a second of the plurality of personal metrics.

17. A method of providing activity data to a user, the method comprising:

receiving activity data from a sensor device carried by a user, the activity data associated with at least one of a plurality of personal metrics;

processing the activity data received from the sensor device for presentation on a display screen in sector form; and

displaying the activity data received from the sensor device in sector form on the display screen, wherein each of the plurality of personal metrics is associated with one of a plurality of sectors on the display screen, and wherein each of the plurality of sectors includes a first area associated with progress toward a goal for an associated personal metric and a second area associated with remaining requirements to reach the goal for the associated personal metric.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising receiving a goal input at a display device including the display screen, the goal input defining the goal for the associated personal metric.

19. The method claim 17 wherein each the plurality of sectors on the display screen are circular sectors and each of the circular sectors is a quadrant.

20. The method of claim 17 wherein each sector on the display screen is separated from an adjacent sector on the display screen by a linear gap, each linear gap extending radially from a central hub.

21. The method of claim 17 wherein the plurality of personal metrics include total steps, calories consumed, active minutes, and time of sleep.

22. The method of claim 17 wherein the sensor device is configured to determine steps taken by the user or a heart rate of the user.

23. The method of claim 17 further comprising receiving activity data input manually by the user, the activity data input manually by the user associated with a second of the plurality of personal metrics.
