Appl. No.:

17/973899

Inventors:

- Beaverton OR, US
Kate Richmond - Seattle WA, US
Peter Laigar - Seattle WA, US
David Switzer - Seattle WA, US
Sebastian Imlay - Seattle WA, US
Michael Lapinsky - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G09B 19/00
G06F 1/3231
G06F 1/16
G16H 20/30
G06V 10/147
G06V 40/20

Abstract:

An athletic performance monitoring system, including a gesture recognition processor configured to execute gesture recognition processes. Interaction with the athletic performance monitoring system may be based, at least in part, on gestures performed by a user, and may offer an alternative to making selections on the athletic performance monitoring system using physical buttons, which may be cumbersome and/or inconvenient to use while performing an athletic activity. Additionally, recognized gestures may be used to select one or more operational modes for the athletic performance monitoring system, such that a reduction in power consumption may be achieved.

International Classification:

A63B 24/00
G01R 31/36
H02J 7/00
A63B 71/06

Abstract:

Appl. No.:

15/084154

Inventors:

- Beaverton OR, US
Michael Lapinsky - Seattle WA, US
Greg McKeag - Seattle WA, US
James Zipperer - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A wrist-worn device monitors movements of a user with a flexible circuit member. The flexible circuit member is fault tolerant. It may contain extra and/or redundant traces as well as the ability to store data on RAM if the flash memory fails or if some or all trace connections between the processor and flash memory fail. Data stored on the RAM may or may not contain less fidelity. Lower fidelity data may be used to alleviate issues arising if the RAM has less storage capacity than the flash memory.
