Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A biometric monitoring device is used to determine a user's heart rate by using a heartbeat waveform sensor and a motion detecting sensor. In some embodiments, the device collects collecting concurrent output data from the heartbeat waveform sensor and output data from the motion detecting sensor, detects a periodic component of the output data from the motion detecting sensor, and uses the periodic component of the output data from the motion detecting sensor to remove a corresponding periodic component from the output data from the heartbeat waveform sensor. From this result, the device may determine and present the user's heart rate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of determining a user's heart rate using a worn biometric monitoring device comprising a plurality of sensors including a heartbeat waveform sensor and a motion detecting sensor, the method comprising: (a) collecting concurrent output data from the heartbeat waveform sensor and output data from the motion detecting sensor, wherein the output data from the heartbeat waveform sensor provides information about the user's heart rate and wherein the outp…
