Activity monitoring system and method for transmitting information for activity monitoring
First Claim
1. An activity monitoring system comprising:
- an activity sensor device configured to detect an individual'"'"'s physical activity, classify the detected physical activity, and transmit activity classification information as a result along with the individual'"'"'s identification information;
one or more occupancy sensor devices configured to receive the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information from the activity sensor device, and transmit the received information along with occupancy information; and
an activity monitoring server configured to manage the activity classification information, the occupancy information, and the individual'"'"'s identification information received from the occupancy sensor devices,wherein the activity sensor device is configured to transmit the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices or the activity monitoring server, andwherein the activity sensor device is configured to transmit the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices having a first power, andwherein the activity sensor device is configured to transmit the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the activity monitoring server having a second power.

Abstract
An activity monitoring system and method are disclosed to reduce the size of an activity sensor device to reduce its power consumption and smoothly transmit activity and occupancy information from the activity sensor device and an occupancy sensor device to an activity monitoring server to monitor an individual'"'"'s activity and occupancy information. The activity monitoring system includes: an activity sensor device configured to detect a physical activity of a user, classify the detected physical activity, and transmit activity classification information as a result along with user identification information; one or more occupancy sensor devices configured to receive the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information from the activity sensor device, and transmit the received information along with occupancy information; and an activity monitoring server configured to manage the activity classification information, the occupancy information, and the individual'"'"'s identification information received from the occupancy sensor devices.

12. A method for transmitting information for activity monitoring by an occupancy sensor device in an activity monitoring system comprising an activity sensor device worn by an individual, one or more occupancy sensor devices, and an activity monitoring server, the method comprising:
-
receiving from the activity sensor device activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information obtained by detecting a physical activity of a user from a connection-established activity sensor device by using a first propagation; and transmitting the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information along with occupancy information to the activity monitoring server by using a second propagation, wherein the activity sensor device transmits the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information having a first power or a second power, wherein the first power is less than the second power, and when the activity sensor device transmits the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices then the activity sensor device only transmits the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices having the first power. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method for transmitting information for activity monitoring by an activity sensor device in an activity monitoring system comprising the activity sensor device worn by an individual, one or more occupancy sensor devices, and an activity monitoring server, the method comprising:
-
detecting an individual'"'"'s activity and classifying the detected signal; generating activity classification information by using the classified signal; establishing a connection to the one or more occupancy sensor devices; and transmitting the generated activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the connection-established occupancy sensor devices by using a first propagation with a short transmission range, so that the activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information can be transmitted along with occupancy information to the activity monitoring server, wherein the activity sensor device transmits the generated activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices or the activity monitoring server, and wherein the activity sensor device transmits the generated activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the one or more occupancy sensor devices having a first power, wherein the activity sensor device transmits the generated activity classification information and the individual'"'"'s identification information to the activity monitoring server having a second power, and wherein the first power is less than the second power. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
