Method and apparatus for monitoring exercise with wireless internet connectivity
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method for interactive exercise monitoring, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. downloading an application to a web-enabled wireless phone directly from a remote server over the internet;
b. coupling the a web-enabled wireless phone to a device which provides exercise-related information;
c. rendering a user interface on the web-enabled wireless phone;
d. using the application, receiving data indicating a physiologic status of a subject;
e. using the application, receiving data indicating an amount of exercise performed by the subject;
f. wherein at least one of the data indicating a physiologic status of a subject or the data indicating an amount of exercise performed by the subject is received from the device which provides exercise-related information, and wherein the data indicating a physiologic status of a subject is received at least partially while the subject is exercising;
g. sending the exercise-related information to an internet server via a wireless network;
h. receiving a calculated response from the server, the response associated with a calculation performed by the server based on the exercise-related information; and
i. using the application, displaying the response.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for wireless monitoring of exercise, fitness, or nutrition by connecting a web-enabled wireless phone to a device which provides exercise-related information, including physiological data and data indicating an amount of exercise performed. The connection may be by way of a wireless connection using protocols such as Bluetooth® or 802.11, or by way of a wired connection. An optional adaptor may be included if necessary. An application for receiving the exercise-related information and providing a user interface may be downloaded to the web-enabled wireless phone from an internet server. The exercise-related information may be transmitted to an internet server, and the server may calculate and return a response.
