Abstract: A device is disclosed for wearing on a wrist or other body part including a central piece held on the body part by a pair of straps. The proximal end of a strap includes a mounting pin for sliding into and out of a slot on the central piece. The proximal end of the strap further includes a positioning curve which mates with a correspondingly shaped receiving curve on the central piece when the strap is properly affixed and centered on the central piece. When properly affixed and centered on the central piece, the positioning curve on the strap aligns with the receiving curve of the central piece, so that the positioning and receiving curves are at their lowest energy state, resisting lateral movement out of a centered position.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for wearing on a wrist or other body part including a central piece held on the body part by a pair of straps. A first strap includes fastening holes and the second strap includes a pin plate having pins for mating within the fastening holes in the first strap to affix the device to the body part. The pins are off-center with respect to a lengthwise centerline dividing a width of the pin plate in half. The pin plate may be affixed to the second strap into different orientations, to thereby allow adjustment of a fit of the device to the body part with finer granularity than provided by the pitch of the fastening holes in the first strap.

Abstract: Technology is described for a wearable sensor system including an accelerometer and a PPG optical sensor having light processing elements including at least one photodetector in at least one linear configuration sharing an axis of orientation with the accelerometer. Heart rate measurements determined from reflected light detected by a photodetector of the light processing elements in a linear configuration are co-sampled with accelerometer measurements for one of its axes sharing its orientation with the linear configuration, thus providing per axis measurements which provide more precise data points for more easily compensating for motion artifacts in heart rate data. A wrist wearable biometric monitoring device is also described which embodies the wearable sensor system and performs active motion artifact compensation.

Abstract: An activity monitor reduces power consumption by providing a heart rate sensor in an inactive mode at times when the heart rate is relatively unimportant. Data from a motion sensor is used to determine when to activate the heart rate monitor to obtain heart rate readings. For example, the motion data may indicate that the user is becoming active after a period of inactivity, or the user is vigorously exercising, then terminates the exercising, or the user is in a sleep-related activity such as the onset of sleep, non-REM (rapid-eye movement sleep) sleep, REM sleep and the user waking from sleep. The heart rate sensor may be in a continuously active mode, an alternating mode, or an inactive mode. In the alternating mode, a delay between readings is set adaptively based on the user's level of activity.

Abstract: An activity monitor such as a wrist-worn device has an accelerometer which continuously detects motion of the user. The activity monitor also has an on-demand heart rate monitor which is activated by the user touching it from time to time. A calorie expenditure based on the motion of the user can be modified based on a heart rate measurement. Further, a determination can be made as to whether the user has made repetitive motions for a period of time. If the repetitive motions are detected, a calorie expenditure based on the heart rate is determined and compared to the calorie expenditure based on the user motion, and the higher value prevails. A situation is avoided in which the activity monitor underestimates the calories expended, such as when the user is exercising strenuously but the accelerometer indicates relatively little motion, e.g., during strength training.

Abstract: Technology is described for transferring one or more mobile tags using a light based communication protocol. A mobile device, for example a smart phone, with an image sensor and an illuminator, like a camera flash, initiates transfer of data formatted in a mobile tag displayed by another device by automatically controlling the illuminator to generate sequences of light representing data transfer messages. The other device, for example a user wearable computer device with sensors capturing biometric and health related data, has a photodetector unit for capturing the sequences of light and converting them into digital data. A processor of the other device identifies the data transfer messages and causes a display of one or more mobile tags responsive to the messages. In this way, a number of mobile tags may be used to transfer several kilobytes of biometric data, for example 4-7 KBs, using low power for the wearable device.
