1. A method of monitoring user activity using an inertial sensor, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, acceleration measurement data from an inertial sensor disposed in eyewear; and
processing the acceleration measurement data by the processor to determine an identification of a current user activity from a plurality of user activities that are determinable by the processor based on the acceleration measurement data, the processing comprising;
comparing the acceleration measurement data to a plurality of motion criteria sets, each of the motion criteria sets distinguishing a distinct activity of the plurality of user activities;
determining that the acceleration measurement data satisfies motion criteria in a particular motion criteria set based on the comparison; and
identifying a particular user activity associated with the particular motion criteria set as the current user activity.

Abstract
A method for monitoring human activity using an inertial sensor includes obtaining acceleration measurement data from an inertial sensor disposed in eyewear. The acceleration measurement data is processed to determine a user activity statistic. The user activity statistic includes at least one of a current user activity, periodic human motion count, total distance traveled, vertical distance traveled, current speed and average speed.
