Portable biometric monitoring devices and methods of operating same
First Claim
1. A method of presenting a user with external data from an external device on a biometric monitoring device comprising one or more processors, one or more motion sensors, and an element configured to present information, the method comprising:
- at the biometric monitoring device, receiving external data about a phone call or a text message from the external device;
obtaining motion data using the one or more motion sensors of the biometric monitoring device, wherein the motion data are indicative of physical movements or physical states of the user;
analyzing, by the one or more processors, the motion data to determine that one or more criteria for presenting the external data about the phone call or the text message have been met; and
presenting, based at least partly on determining that the one or more criteria have been met, the external data about the phone call or the text message to the user via the element configured to present information on the biometric monitoring device.

Abstract
The present inventions, in one aspect, are directed to portable biometric monitoring device including a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the user'"'"'s body, at least one band to secure the monitoring device to the user, a physiological sensor, disposed in the housing, to generate data which is representative of a physiological condition of the user data. The physiological sensor may include a light source to generate and output light having at least a first wavelength, and a photodetector to detect scattered light (e.g., from the user). A light pipe is disposed in the housing and optically coupled to the light source directs/transmits light therefrom along a predetermined path to an outer surface of the housing. Processing circuitry calculates a heart rate of the user using data which is representative of the scattered light.
