Activity monitoring, tracking and synchronization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:
- detect, from data received from an accelerometer sensor integrated into the apparatus, activity performed by a user for an activity competition;
determine that the activity performed by the user has been registered toward the activity competition only upon determining that activity data corresponding to the detected activity has been synchronized through a network system with at least one other apparatus;
determine further activity data;
determine a required synchronization frequency specified by the activity competition;
trigger synchronization of the further activity data by movement of the apparatus; and
determine whether synchronization of the further activity data was requested in accordance with the required synchronization frequency.

Abstract
A physical activity monitoring method and system may include a competition component requiring users to compete based on various metrics. The challenge may be device-specific, activity type-specific, user-type specific and the like. In some examples, the users'"'"' performance might only affect the status of the competition if the user synchronizes the information to an activity monitoring system.
