Methods, systems and devices for activity tracking device data synchronization with computing devices
First Claim
1. A method, comprising,capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device, the activity data being captured over time, the activity data quantified by a plurality of metrics;
- storing the activity data in storage of the device;
connecting the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link when the device is within range of communication and while an activity tracking application on the computing device is closed;
using a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time; and
using a second transfer rate for transferring activity data from the device to the computing device for display of the activity data in substantial-real time on the computing device when the activity tracking application is open, the method is executed by a processor.

Abstract
Methods, devices and system are provided. One method includes capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device. The activity data is captured over time, and the activity data is quantifiable by a plurality of metrics. The method includes storing the activity data in storage of the device and, from time to time, connecting the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link. The method defines using a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time. The first transfer rate is used following startup of an activity tracking application on the computing device The method also defines using a second transfer rate for transferring activity data from the device to the computing device for display of the activity data in substantial-real time on the computing device.

12. A device configured for capture of activity for a user, comprising,
a housing; -
a sensor disposed in the housing to capture activity data associated with activity of the user; a memory for storing the captured activity data; and a processor for managing connection of the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link, the processor configured to use a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored in memory of the device when the device is within a range of communication of the computing device and while an activity tracking application on the computing device is closed, the transfer of activity data in the first transfer rate being for background updates, and the processor is further configured to use a second transfer rate for transferring activity data for display in substantial-real time on the computing device after the sensor captures the activity data and the activity tracking application is open to enable the display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
