Portable physical activity sensing system
First Claim
1. A portable activity sensing system comprising:
- one or more sensors, in the portable activity sensing system, configured to be associated with a user and sense a physical activity parameter of the user during a performance of physical activity by the user;
a memory, in the portable activity sensing system, in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the memory is configured to store data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter; and
a control element, in the portable activity sensing system, configured to communicate with the one or more sensors and the memory, wherein the one or more sensors communicate data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter for storage in the memory, wherein the control element is configured to communicate the data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter to a separate communication system, and wherein the control element is configured to receive an exercise program from the separate communication system.

Abstract
A portable system retrieves one or more exercise programs from a remote communication system that provides motivational content for a user exercising upon an exercise mechanism. The exercise program further includes at least one control signal that controls one or more operating parameters of the exercise mechanism. The portable system includes a control device configured to retrieve the exercise program and deliver the motivational content to the user by way of an audio delivery device, while delivering the control signals to the exercise mechanism. A sensor communicates with the control device and tracks one or more measurable parameters of the user during the user'"'"'s performance of the exercise program. Data representative of the one or more measurable parameters can be delivered to the control device for delivery to the remote communication system.
