First Claim
1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- a camera structured to capture a live video image of a user while the user is exercising, the live video image depicting at least one feature of the user in real time;
a detecting device structured to determine when the user is exercising;
an identity verification device structured to receive input data from the user and determine an identity of the user;
a network communicator structured to transmit and receive communication signals;
a memory device structured to store exercise data; and
a processing device in electronic communication with the network communicator structured to;
receive identification data from the identity verification device, receive the live video image, receive stored exercise data from the memory device, estimate a live enhanced appearance of the user based on input data including e live video image and the stored exercise data, and create a motivational image of the user, the motivational image exclusively depicting a real time and modified image of the at least one feature to exhibit the live enhanced appearance of the user; and
an output display structured to display the motivational image from the processing device in substantially real time and only while the user is exercising.

Abstract
A system for displaying a motivational image of a user on an electronic device that includes at least a camera and a display. The system includes an adjustable mount for the electronic device that is adapted to orient the camera and display of the electronic device towards the user. The electronic device, upon detection of movement by the camera, is adapted to display the motivational image, such as a thinner representation of the user, on the display in accordance to the speed or duration of the detection of the movement of the user. The electronic device may be adapted to further receive an input from the user in order to calculate the amount of exercise required for the user to achieve the desired weight. Further, the system is able to validate the user'"'"'s identity and exercise achieved as well as providing health screenings using biometric testing.

14. A method for monitoring an exerciser comprising:
-
detecting an exercise session with a portable handheld electronic device; capturing a live video image of the exerciser during the exercise session, the live video image depicting at least one feature of the exerciser in substantially real time; verifying the identity of the exerciser; determining the physical dimensions of the at least one feature of the exerciser from the live video image; displaying only while the exercise session is detected a substantially live video of the exerciser, the substantially live video exclusively depicting a real image of the exerciser that has had the physical dimensions of the at least one feature modified to thereby show a live enhanced appearance of the exerciser as a motivational tool; and transmitting data to a second electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
