1. A system, comprising:
- a device having one or more motion sensors configured to monitor physical activity based on a motion of the device, the device including circuitry configured to process signals generated by the one or more motion sensors to differentiate between at least two different types of monitored physical activity, the device including a memory for storing respective amounts of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity, the device including a display having at least five light emitting diodes arranged in a substantially straight line, the device including circuitry connected to control illumination of the at least five light emitting diodes in a sequential manner based on an amount of at least one of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity,wherein the device is configured to;
determine when an amount of at least one of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold, andcontrol illumination of the at least five light emitting diodes in a sequential manner to indicate that the amount of at least one of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold; and
a band formed to secure to a wrist of a person and hold the device.

Abstract
In a redeemable coupon there is a housing, a motion detector coupled to the housing, wherein the motion detector detects an amount of motion of the coupon, and an indicator coupled to the motion detector, wherein the indicator is activated by the motion detector upon detecting the amount of motion. Additionally, in a method of providing an incentive for a user to exercise, providing the user with a coupon to be coupled to the user, monitoring the motion of the user with a motion sensor included in the coupon, and activating the coupon when the motion sensor has detected a predetermined amount of motion such that the coupon becomes redeemable by the user.

16. A method, comprising:
-
monitoring, by one or more motion sensors of a device, physical activity based on a motion of the device, the one or more motion sensors generating signals indicative of the monitored physical activity; processing signals generated by the one or more motion sensors to differentiate between at least two different types of monitored physical activity; storing respective amounts of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity in a memory of the device; determining when an amount of at least one of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold; controlling illumination of the at least five light emitting diodes in a sequential manner to indicate that the amount of at least one of the at least two different types of monitored physical activity meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
