1. A receiver for receiving a transducer signal, comprising:
- a receiving element operative to receive the output of a transducer operative to detect movement of a user; and
a processor operative to;
assess boundary conditions of the transducer output;
exclude certain conditions of the transducer output; and
determine the characteristics of the user'"'"'s workout from the processed transducer output in real time, wherein the output of the transducer comprises a vibrational spectrum related to movement of the user during a workout.

Abstract
An activity monitor, comprises housing for attachment to a person; at least one accelerometer disposed within the housing; and a processor disposed within the housing, for processing signals from the accelerometer to assess activity of the person. A method assesses activity of a person, including: sensing acceleration at a first location on the person; processing the acceleration, over time, to assess activity of the person; and wirelessly communicating information indicative of the activity to a second location.

11. A system for communicating data associated with a user'"'"'s workout comprising:
-
a transmitter comprising; a transducer operative to detect movement of a user during a workout; and a transmitting element operative to transmit data related to movement detected by the transducer as the movement is detected; and a receiver comprising; a receiving element operative to receive the data transmitted by the transmitting element; a processor operative to assess boundary conditions of the received data and exclude certain conditions of the received data that correspond to particular movements of the user during a workout to generate characteristics of the user'"'"'s workout from the received data in real time, wherein the received data comprises a vibrational spectrum related to movement of the user during the workout; and a display operative to display the characteristics of the user'"'"'s workout in real time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
