1. A portable fitness monitoring device comprising:
- a housing containing;
a processor configured to communicate with an external scale and an external computing device;
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store data indicative of at least one fitness parameter received from the external scale; and
a calibration unit comprising processor-operable instructions stored in the memory, the instructions when executed by the processor causing the portable fitness monitoring device to output at least one signal for zeroing the external scale.

Abstract
A measuring device including a sensor that generates data representing a detected body parameter, such as body fat, body water and weight of an individual. A portable device removably connected to the measuring device for receiving, displaying and storing the data representing the detected body parameter. The portable device may correlate the stored data with an individual user. The portable device is responsive to a personal computer for uploading the stored information thereto. The portable device includes a calibration unit for calibrating the measuring device.

15. A method for measuring and storing at least one fitness parameter, said method comprising the steps of:
-
connecting a portable data storage unit configured to be connected to and disconnected from a scale to the scale, the portable data storage unit including a housing and storing information including a user identifier and user-specific information; by a processor arranged within the housing of the portable data storage unit, generating and providing a first control signal from the portable data storage unit to the scale, the first control signal operative to zero the scale; by the processor of the portable data storage unit, generating and providing a second control signal from the portable data storage unit to the scale, the second control signal operative to cause the scale to generate an output signal proportional to the at least one fitness parameter; by the processor of the portable data storage unit, associating the output signal with the user identifier; storing the output signal from the scale in the data storage unit, and uploading the stored data from the data storage unit to a computer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
