Reward based interface for a wireless communications device
First Claim
1. A method of providing a user of a wireless communications device with reward-based feedback, the method comprising:
- generating a signal responsive to detecting a user'"'"'s motion;
comparing a selected characteristic of the user'"'"'s motion to a quantified characteristic of the user'"'"'s motion, wherein the quantified characteristic represents a predetermined objective of the user performing the motion; and
downloading reward data to the wireless communications device when the comparison indicates that the user has achieved the predetermined objective.

Abstract
A wireless communications device includes a motion-detecting device, such as a pedometer, that generates a signal upon detecting the user'"'"'s motion. Quantified characteristics of the user motion are stored in memory of the wireless communications device. The quantified characteristics represent a predetermined objective that the user desires to achieve by performing the motion. A processor receives the signal from the motion-detecting device and uses the signal to monitor selected characteristics of the user'"'"'s motion. The processor compares the selected characteristics and, when the comparison indicates that the user has achieved the predetermined objective, downloads reward data to the wireless communications device.

15. A wireless communications device comprising:
-
a transceiver operative to transmit and receive wireless communications signals;
a motion detector operative to generate a signal responsive to a detected user motion;
memory operative to store a quantified characteristic of the user motion that represents a predetermined objective of the user performing the detected motion; and
a processor configured to;
monitor a selected characteristic of the user motion responsive to the signal from the motion detector; and
download reward data via the transceiver when a comparison of the selected characteristic and the quantified characteristic indicates that the user has achieved the predetermined objective. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29)
