Biometric monitoring device having a body weight sensor, and methods of operating same
First Claim
1. A biometric monitoring device to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring device comprising:
- a housing including a platform configured to receive at least one foot of the user and capable of supporting the body weight of the user;
a body weight sensor, mechanically coupled to the platform, to generate sensor data which is representative of the weight of the user;
processing circuitry, disposed in the housing and coupled to the body weight sensor, to calculate user weight data, which corresponds to the weight of the user, using the sensor data;
a visual display, coupled to the processing circuitry, to display the user weight data, wherein the visual display is disposed in, on or juxtaposed to the platform; and
communication circuitry, physically coupled to the housing, to;
wirelessly receive user identification data directly from an external portable activity monitoring device, wherein;
(i) the user identification data identifies the user or a particular external portable activity monitoring device, and(ii) the external portable activity monitoring device includes a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the body of the user,wirelessly receive activity data directly from the external portable activity monitoring device, andtransmit the activity data to data storage which is;
(i) external to the biometric monitoring device and (ii) associated with the user identification data; and
wherein the communication circuitry is configurable to wirelessly receive a code directly from the external portable activity monitoring device wherein, in response, the biometric monitoring device pairs with the external portable activity monitoring device.

Abstract
A biometric monitoring device comprising a platform to support the body weight of the user; a body weight sensor to generate data which is representative of the user'"'"'s weight, processing circuitry to calculate the user'"'"'s weight, a user interface (e.g., a visual display, coupled to the processing circuitry, to display the weight of the user); and communication circuitry (implementing, e.g., wired, wireless and/or optical techniques) to: (1) receive user identification data (is any data that identifies a particular user, a particular device and/or from which a particular user or device may be determined) from an external portable activity monitoring device, (2) receive activity data from the external portable activity monitoring device, and (3) transmit the activity data to a data storage which is (i) external to the biometric monitoring device and (ii) associated with the user identification data.
