Abstract

An activity tracking system includes a sensor device and a display device. The sensor device is configured to be carried by the user and includes at least one sensor configured to obtain the activity data for the user. The display device includes a display screen. The display device is configured to receive the activity data obtained by the sensor device and display the activity data about a circular axis on the display screen. The activity data includes sleep data on one side of the circular axis and awake data on an opposite side of the circular axis. The sleep data includes a start time and an end time for a daily retired sleep period, the end time occurring in a selected day and the start time occurring in a previous day.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An activity tracking arrangement configured to provide activity data to a user, the activity tracking arrangement comprising:
a sensor device configured to be carried by the user, the sensor device including at least one sensor configured to obtain the activity data for the user; and a display device including a display screen, the display device configured to receive the activity data obtained by the sensor device and display the activity data about a circular axis on the display screen, the activity data including sleep data on one side of the circular axis and awake data on an opposite side of the circular axis, the sleep data including a start time and an end time for a daily retired sleep period, the end time occurring in a selected day and the start time occurring in a previous day.

2 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 , the awake data configured to overlap the sleep data on the circular axis when the user remained awake at a time during the selected day that is later than the start time of the daily retired sleep period from the previous day.

3 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 wherein the circular axis extends over a twenty-four hour time period.

4 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 wherein sleep data is displayed on an inner side of the circular axis and awake data is displayed on an outer side of the circular axis.

5 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 1 further comprising a multi-day table provided on the display screen, wherein activity data for different days is displayed on the display screen when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

6 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 5 wherein the multi-day table is provided in a calendar format.

7 . The activity tracking arrangement of claim 5 wherein the circular axis remains on the screen and the activity data displayed about the circular axis changes when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

8 . A non-transient computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling a display device by:
receiving activity data from a sensor device; processing the activity data for use in association with a circular axis; and displaying the activity data in association with the circular axis on a display screen, the activity data including sleep data on one side of the circular axis and awake data on an opposite side of the circular axis, the sleep data including a start time and an end time for a daily retired sleep period, the end time occurring in a selected day and the start time occurring in a previous day.

9 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 , the awake data configured to overlap the sleep data on the circular axis when a user remained awake at a time during the selected day that is later than the start time of the daily retired sleep period from the previous day.

10 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the circular axis extends over a twenty-four hour time period.

11 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein sleep data is displayed on an inner side of the circular axis and awake data is displayed on an outer side of the circular axis.

12 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 further comprising providing a multi-day table on the display screen, receiving selections for different days as a user scrolls across the multi-day table, and displaying activity data for different days on the display screen when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

13 . The computer readable medium of claim 12 wherein the multi-day table is provided in a calendar format.

14 . The computer readable medium of claim 12 wherein the circular axis remains on the screen and the activity data displayed about the circular axis changes when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

15 . A method of providing activity data to a user, the method comprising:
receiving activity data from a sensor device carried by a user; processing the activity data for use in association with a circular axis; and displaying the activity data on a display screen in association with the circular axis, the activity data including sleep data on one side of the circular axis and awake data on an opposite side of the circular axis, the sleep data including a start time and an end time for a daily retired sleep period, the end time occurring in a selected day and the start time occurring in a previous day.

16 . The method of claim 15 , the awake data configured to overlap the sleep data on the circular axis when the user remained awake at a time during the selected day that is later than the start time of the daily retired sleep period from the previous day.

17 . The method of claim 15 wherein the circular axis extends over a twenty-four hour time period.

18 . The method of claim 15 wherein sleep data is displayed on an inner side of the circular axis and awake data is displayed on an outer side of the circular axis.

19 . The method of claim 15 further comprising providing a multi-day table on the display screen, receiving selections for different days as a user scrolls across the multi-day table, and displaying activity data for different days on the display screen when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

20 . The method of claim 19 wherein the circular axis remains on the screen and the activity data displayed about the circular axis changes when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.
