Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for displaying monitored activity data in substantial real-time on a screen of a computing device. One example method includes capturing motion data associated with activity of a user via an activity tracking device. The motion data is quantified into a plurality of metrics associated with the activity of the user. The method includes connecting the activity tracking device with a computing device over a wireless data connection, and sending motion data from the activity tracking device to the computing device for display of one or more of the plurality of metrics on a graphical user interface of the computing device. At least one of the plurality of metrics displayed on the graphical user interface is shown to change in substantial real-time based on the motion data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for automatically linking a device to an activity tracking device. One method includes obtaining, at the device, a identifier from a website. The identifier is for an activity tracker that has been paired to a user account of the website. The method includes scanning, by the device, for the identifier. The scanning is of advertising messages generated by one or more activity trackers. The method identifies the activity tracker by matching the advertised identifier to the identifier obtained from the website. The method then includes establishing a link between the activity tracker and the device. The link is established without requiring user initiation to link the activity tracker to the device.

Abstract:
Methods, devices and system are provided. One method includes capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device. The activity data is captured over time, and the activity data is quantifiable by a plurality of metrics. The method includes storing the activity data in storage of the device and, from time to time, connecting the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link. The method defines using a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time. The first transfer rate is used following startup of an activity tracking application on the computing device The method also defines using a second transfer rate for transferring activity data from the device to the computing device for display of the activity data in substantial-real time on the computing device.

Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for linking devices to tracking devices is provided. One method includes scanning, by an activity tracking device, for a semi-unique identifier broadcasted by a device. The method connects the device with the activity tracking device after the semi-unique identifier is found to be of the device by the activity tracking device. The activity tracking device is configured to communicate with the device to obtain a device identification (ID) of the device. The method then automatically linking the device to the activity tracking device when the device ID of the device matches a copy of the device ID stored in the activity tracking device. In one example, the tracking devices operate as a master and the devices operate as a slave.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device and transferring the data to a client device at a selected defined transfer rate, based on an update condition. The activity data is captured over time. The activity data is stored in storage of the device. The method sets a data transfer rate between the device and the computing device based upon the detected update condition. The update condition is used to select one of a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time or a second transfer rate for transferring activity data that is displayable in substantial-real time on the computing device. The first transfer rate is set in response to scaling-up a connection interval and the second transfer rate is set in response to scaling-down the connection interval.
