Methods, Systems and Devices for Physical Contact Activated Display and Navigation
First Claim
1. A method, comprising,detecting a physical contact by a sensor of a device that is configured to display a plurality of metrics on a screen of the device;
- examining the physical contact to determine if the physical contact qualifies as an input for the device;
maintaining the screen of the device in an off state for physical contact that does not qualify as the input; and
activating the screen of the device to display a first metric when the examining determines that the physical contact qualifies as the input, wherein the method is executed by a processor.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are provided for providing user interface navigation of screen display metrics of a device. In one example, a device is configured for capture of activity data for a user. The device includes a housing and a screen disposed on the housing to display a plurality of metrics which include metrics that characterize the activity captured over time. The device further includes a sensor disposed in the housing to capture physical contact upon the housing. A processor is included to process the physical contact to determine if the physical contact qualifies as an input. The processor enables the screen from an off state when the physical contact qualifies as the input. The screen is configured to display one or more of the plurality of metrics in accordance with a scroll order, and a first metric displayed in response to the physical contact that qualifies as the input.

28. A computer readable medium for storing program instructions executable by a processor, the computer readable medium comprising,
program instructions for detecting a physical contact by a sensor of a device that is configured to display a plurality of metrics on a screen of the device; -
program instructions for examining the physical contact to determine if the physical contact qualifies as an input for the device; program instructions for maintaining the screen of the device in an off state for physical contact that does not qualify as the input; and program instructions for activating the screen of the device to display a first metric when the examining determines that the physical contact qualifies as the input, program instructions for detecting user input to transition from the first metric to a next metric in a scroll order or to an off state when no user input is detected, and if user input is received within a predetermined time after the off state, turning the screen on and displaying the last displayed metric, and if the user input is received after the predetermined time after the off state, turning the screen on and displaying the first metric, wherein the plurality of metrics include a time of day metric and metrics representing activity data captured by the device when associated with a user, the activity data being of the user. - View Dependent Claims (29)

30. An activity tracking device configured for capturing data or activity data for a user, comprising,
a housing configured as a wearable wrist attachable structure; -
a screen disposed on the housing to display a plurality of metrics which include metrics that characterize the activity captured over time; an accelerometer sensor disposed in the housing to capture physical contact upon the housing; and a processor to process the physical contact to determine if the physical contact qualifies as an input, the processor enabling the screen from an off state when the physical contact qualifies as the input, the screen configured to display one or more of the plurality of metrics in accordance with a scroll order, a first metric of the plurality of metrics being displayed in accordance with user configuration identifying that the first metric is to be displayed in response to the physical contact that qualifies as the input, as determined by the processor, wherein the physical contact captured by the accelerometer sensor is from sensing or detecting one or more taps having a predefined tap profile upon the housing by a finger, or hand or object, wherein the user configuration identifying the first metric enables setting of a shortcut to any metric in the scroll order to be the first metric.
