Portable monitoring devices and methods of operating the same
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- one or more motion sensors for sensing motion of the device and providing motion data indicative of the sensed motion;
one or more vibrating devices configured to produce a plurality of vibrating notifications, each of the vibrating notifications being associated with an achievement of one of a plurality of activity goals;
a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with one or more external computing devices;
a memory configured to store vibrating notification settings, each of the vibrating notification settings capable of being assigned to one or more of the plurality of activity goals, each of the vibrating notification settings specifying a corresponding vibration pattern;
one or more processors configured to;
receive, from the one or more external computing devices via the wireless communication interface, one or more first inputs to define or modify a plurality of vibrating notification setting associated with the plurality of activity goals stored or to be stored in the memory,store or modify the plurality of vibrating notification settings associated with the plurality of activity goals in the memory based on the one or more first inputs,receive, subsequent to the storing or modifying, an indication from the one or more external computing devices via the wireless communication interface of a determination that a condition associated with a first activity goal has been met, andcause, responsive to a determination that the condition has been met, the one or more vibrating devices to produce a vibrating notification according to one of the vibrating notification settings associated with the at least one activity goal; and
a portable housing that encloses at least portions of the one or more motion sensors, the one or more vibrating devices, the wireless communication interface, the memory and the one or more processors, the portable housing capable of being wearable by a user of the device.

Abstract
In one aspect of the disclosed implementations, a device includes one or more motion sensors for sensing motion of the device and providing activity data indicative of the sensed motion. The device also includes one or more feedback devices for providing feedback, a notice, or an indication to a user based on the monitoring. The device also includes one or more processors for monitoring the activity data, for determining one or more activity metrics based on the activity data, and for causing one or more of the feedback devices to produce an indication to the user that an activity goal has been achieved by the user based on one or more of the activity metrics. The device further includes a portable housing that encloses at least portions of the motion sensors, the processors and the feedback devices.

19. Tangible processor-readable media including non-transitory instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause operations to be performed including:
-
sensing, by one or more motion sensors within a portable device, motion of the portable device and providing motion data indicative of the sensed motion; receiving, by the one or more processors within the portable device, one or more first inputs from one or more external computing devices via a wireless communication interface, the one or more first inputs to define or modify a plurality of vibrating notification settings stored or to be stored in a memory of the portable device, the plurality of vibrating notification settings capable of being assigned to a plurality of activity goals, each of the vibrating notification settings specifying a corresponding vibration pattern; storing or modifying the plurality of vibrating notification settings in the memory based on the one or more first inputs; receiving, by the one or more processors, subsequent to the storing or modifying, an indication from the one or more external computing devices via the wireless communication interface of a determination that a condition associated with at least one activity goal has been met; and causing, by the one or more processors, responsive to a determination that the condition has been met, one or more vibrating devices to produce a vibrating notification according to the one of the vibrating notification settings associated with the at least one activity goal. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
