Embodiment

The embodiment described in the disclosure, which is provided, causes activity tracking equipment（ATD）Can automatically link to such as with Family computing device（Smart phone, tablet PC, laptop computer, computing device etc.）Etc the system of equipment, device, Computer-readable medium and method.In various embodiments, the AutoLink to activity tracking equipment is configured to logic Realize notice（advertise）The identifier data that is obtained by user equipment, do not requiring user input or action User equipment can be linked with ATD in the case of to initiate link.In one embodiment, identifier data be can be by ATD The semi-unique identifier of notice（SU-ID）So that the user equipment for wanting to link with ATD can find and consult to arrive ATD's Connection.

In one implementation, notice is the logic by atd circuit（For example, firmware, hardware, software, circuit, logic Deng）The function of execution, the logic of the atd circuit makes it possible to launch wireless data.The data launched can be any size, Although by causing the data being advertised small, ATD utilizes less power to launch data.In one implementation, by ATD The data launched of notice are one or more bits or one or more packets（packet）Form.For example, can be with Packet is referred to as notice packet.For the purpose of further example, such notice packet can be by bluetooth low energy（BT LE）Form or form that standard is defined.In other embodiments, data or packet can by any agreement, standard or Noncanonical format is defined.

In the example of BT LE standards, ATD, which is served as, can notify that it has content to be sent to " scanning " other and set It is standby from（slave）Equipment." notice " message can also include event or measured value or the identifier number of some form According to.In one embodiment, ATD logic is configured to notice slave unit identifier is drawn or one part（For example, equipment Identifier is sequence number）, referred to herein as semi-unique identifier（SU-ID）.Although can notice all size or portion Equipment Serial Number divide or whole, notice saves ATD power consumption less than whole equipment sequence number, between this extension is charged Use.For an implementation, SU-ID is 16 bits.In one example, 16 bits are highly uniform distribution, are made Obtain many equipment to exclude by scanning, thus reduce the ATD with not noticing SU-ID attempted connection.Although SU-ID is not Completely unique, still, its is sufficiently unique so that the equipment of user should need be only attached to the possible of very small quantity Matching.

As mentioned above, SU-ID can be distributed to avoid making too many tracker from noticing equably or at least in part Identical SU-ID.In one implementation, SU-ID is drawn, generates or obtained from ATD sequence number（For example, SU- ID can be a part for sequence number）.In a configuration of sequence number, one of field in sequence number represents to manufacture day " the number of seconds since zero point（seconds from midnight）" data.Thus, SU-ID can be represent " from zero point with One or more bit values of the number of seconds come ".In one example, when manufacturing line all day（Or within a period of time）And with Relatively uniform speed（Or interval or the speed of a certain change）During operation, it can assume that SU-ID has in those number of seconds In the equal opportunity of any one.

By the value for the SU-ID for selecting to change for different ATD, SU-ID can be considered to be substantial uniform point Cloth.As a result, there are multiple trackers in identical near zone has identical SU-ID less chance.Thus, SU-ID unlike sequence number across all trackers be unique.Only for example, if SU-ID is from 1 to 1000 ranges, It can be anticipated that the chance for having 1/1000 for two trackers has identical SU-ID.If however, be distributed as crooked （skewed）To cause 50% there is the SU-ID between 1-100, then two trackers are given, more likely they there will be identical SU-ID.When the number of seconds after by zero point is used as semi-unique identifier, there will be 3600 differences that can be dispatched to sequence number Possible number of seconds.Inventionbroadly, SU-ID be chosen/is assigned as the number changed over time, accordingly, there exist two it is neighbouring with Track device is by the possibility of the reduction with identical SU-ID.

In alternative embodiment, SU-ID can be by ATD, by such as phone, tablet PC, portable set, knee Laptop computer either any computing device etc equipment generation or can be generated by website 350.In some embodiments In, SU-ID is generated at random.If generating SU-ID at random, SU-ID needs not be a part for sequence number and does not need base Generated in sequence number.It is, therefore, to be understood that SU-ID generation can take various configurations.If random generation, SU- ID can be represented by the data of such as one or more bits etc.In one embodiment, data can also be alphabetical number Digital data or the data being digitally represented.In one implementation, random SU-ID can be by generation random code or number According to random number generator produce.
