Activity monitoring system with haptic feedback
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a protective case configured for use with a mobile electronic device, the protective case configured to enclose at least a portion of the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is installed in the protective case; and
an armband including;
a clasping mechanism configured to secure the protective case to the armband;
an elastic member configured to removably secure the armband to an arm of a participant performing an activity;
a physiological data sensor configured to collect physiological data associated with the participant performing the activity;
an equipment sensor configured to collect equipment data from a piece of sports equipment;
electrical circuitry configured to receive the physiological data from the physiological data sensor, receive the equipment data from the equipment sensor, and wirelessly transmit the physiological data and the equipment data; and
a haptic feedback device configured to provide haptic feedback to the participant based on the received physiological data and equipment data, wherein the haptic feedback device is configured to vary a characteristic of the haptic feedback based on the received data.

Abstract
An activity monitoring apparatus is provided. The activity monitoring apparatus includes a retention feature configured to removably secure the monitoring apparatus to a participant performing a physical activity. The activity monitoring apparatus further includes a clasping mechanism configured to receive a mobile electronic device and removably secure the mobile electronic device to the monitoring apparatus. The activity monitoring apparatus further includes a physiological data collector and electronic circuitry. The physiological data collector is configured to collect physiological data associated with the participant performing the physical activity. The electronic circuitry is configured to receive the physiological data associated with the participant from the physiological data collector, process the physiological data, and wirelessly transmit the processed physiological data to the mobile electronic device for display on the mobile electronic device.
