To come describing activity to detect the operation of application 30 according to embodiments of the invention now.In this, as mentioned above, activity detection is used can be implemented in 28 saved software of nonvolatile memory and by the controller 12 of terminal 10 and is operated.Yet, typically being implemented in the software although should be appreciated that the activity detection application, activity detection is used and can be implemented on alternatively in firmware, the hardware etc.Usually and as below be described more specifically, activity detection is used and can be carried out interface with one or more pick offs 34 of terminal with the one or more environment that receive the user and/or the measurement of physiological condition, such as receive heart rate measurement and/or at one or more time periods to the mobile acceleration analysis of indicating on the certain distance.In this, this moves and can representative of consumer carry out one or more active one or more steps that step simultaneously in these one or more time periods.Because activity detection use to receive so one or more measurements, activity detection is used can the tracking activity persistent period, the heart rate of user when carrying out activity, distance that the user moves when carrying out activity, user be in the step number of being carried out of this distance and/or user's translational speed.Activity detection is used the energy (for example calorie) that can also calculate the user and consume when carrying out activity.

Will appreciate that the measurement that receives from one or more pick offs 34 can indicate user one or more active during carrying out many different activities to run simultaneously or walk.For example, measurement can indicate the user carrying out such as walking, running, dancing, horticulture (outdoor housework) activity, carry out housework (indoor housework) and/or participate in sports (for example aerobic fitness, shuttlecock, basketball, football, Association football, golf, weight training exercises, hiking, rope skipping, squash, table tennis, tennis, Northern Europe formula training, squash, racquetball etc.).It will also be appreciated that to depend on the specific activities that the user carries out that the user can consume energy more or less in given persistent period, distance and step number.Therefore, because activity detection is used the one or more measurements that receive the user environment condition at each time period, activity detection is used 30 activities that can carry out based on the user and user and is carried out movable used intensity level and calculate the energy that the user consumes.

More particularly, referring now to Fig. 3, this figure illustrates at least one the active method according to the one embodiment of the invention monitoring user.In operation, can be such as carrying out or the application of additionally initialization activity detection by terminal 10 in response to user's input via user interface (for example keypad 18).Subsequently as shown in Figure 3, activity detection uses 30 can ask and receive subsequently personal information from the user, as shown in piece 36.Personal information can comprise any information in many different information, as for example date of birth, sex, height and/or body weight and the user step-length when walking and/or run.Except that personal information, activity detection is used and also can be asked and to be received in subsequently the active selection that operating period user that activity detection uses maybe will carry out.In this, activity detection is used and can be received any active selection.Yet in an exemplary embodiments, activity detection is used such as presenting effort scale on the display 16 of terminal, and receives subsequently certain the active selection in the tabulation.For example, activity detection is used and can be presented the effort scale that comprises walking, running, dancing, horticulture (outdoor housework), carries out housework (indoor housework) or participation aerobic fitness, shuttlecock, basketball, football, Association football, golf, weight training exercises, hiking, rope skipping, squash, table tennis, tennis, Northern Europe formula training, squash or racquetball.Same as following explanation, activity detection are used and can also be presented and receive " detecting automatically " and select, and this selects to detect this activity when the user carries out activity and no longer need be from user's input once selecting with regard to causing that activity detection is applied in.

No matter activity detection is used 30 and how to be received user's personal information and to active selection, activity detection is used can be operated subsequently in order to supervision and carried out selected active user.More particularly, activity detection is used to receive from one or more pick offs 34 of terminal 10 and is measured wherein one or more pick off energy measurement terminal uses' environment and/or physiological condition.For purpose of explanation and in an exemplary embodiments shown in the piece 38 and that describe hereinafter, activity detection is used from accelerometer and received acceleration analysis, such as acceleration (x axle) and chest-to-back acceleration (y axle) measurement downwards.Activity detection uses 30 can receive one or more measurements from one or more pick offs 34 by different time during operation.For example, in one embodiment, the sample frequency that activity detection is used with 25Hz receives measurement.If necessary, the measurement of each sampling also can convert digital measurement to be used for the subsequent treatment that activity detection is used from analogue measurement.For example, the measurement of each sampling can be transmitted by the AD converter that analog sampling is converted to digital sample, and this digital sample is such as the 12 digital bits sampling that is the measuring amplitude of representative from 0 to 4095.

Although activity detection is used 30 and can be received with given sample frequency and measure, the activity detection application can dynamically be adjusted sample frequency with the power consumption of control terminal 10 thus.For example, activity detection is used to receive from accelerometer and is measured, and if measure and just reduce sample frequency to reduce the power consumption of terminal thus below given threshold value.Be increased to more than the threshold value then activity detection is used and can be increased sample frequency subsequently if measure.

Because activity detection is used 30 and received from accelerometer and to measure, activity detection is just used and can the pretreatment accelerometer to be measured so that the use subsequently of activity detection application, as shown in piece 40.For example, activity detection is used and measurement can be restricted within the given measuring range and/or with measurement standardization.For example, more particularly, when measuring through sampling and converting 12 bit sample of amplitude of representative from 0 to 4095 to, activity detection is used and can each be measured i with following mode and be restricted within from 1700 to 2500 the scope:

{\hat{x}}_{i}, {\hat{y}}_{i} = \{\begin{matrix} 1700, & x_{i}, y_{i} < 1700 \\ x_{i}, y_{i} & 1700 < x_{i}, y_{i} < 2500 \\ 2500, & x_{i}, y_{i} > 2500 \end{matrix},

X wherein _iAnd y _iRefer to i acceleration (x axle) and chest-to-back acceleration (y axle) measurement downwards respectively from accelerometer; And

With

Refer to respectively from i of accelerometer range limited downward acceleration (x axle) and chest-to-back acceleration (y axle) and measure.In general, as used herein unless otherwise, x _iAnd y _iRefer to the measurement that is input in the treatment step, and With Refer to from the measurement of corresponding treatment step output.

Similarly, as described above, activity detection application 30 can be with measurement standardization.For example, standardization activity detects and uses and can think that zero radix is with measurement standardization by the meansigma methods that each measurement is deducted all measurements.As symbolization ground record, each measures then can standardization as follows:

{\hat{x}}_{i}, {\hat{y}}_{i} = x_{i,} y_{i} - \frac{1}{N_{1}} Σ_{k - i - N_{1}}^{i} x_{i}, y_{i},

N wherein ₁The hits (for example 128 samplings) that equals in the sample window piece (wherein can carry out once determining to each sample window piece

With

In average calculate); x _iAnd y _iRefer to i measurement for corresponding sample window piece; And

With Refer to for the standardization of corresponding sample window piece and measure.

Before or after the measurement of pretreatment from accelerometer, activity detection is used can discern selected active type, as shown in piece 42.In this, will appreciate that different activities can comprise different dominant attribute, these attributes have defined benchmark for the energy that the calculating user consumes when carrying out respective activity.For example, the energy that consumes when carrying out such as horticulture, weight training exercises, housework and rope skipping movable can be determined based on the persistent period that the user carries out respective activity usually.For other activity such as dancing, aerobic fitness, shuttlecock, basketball, football, Association football, golf, hiking, squash, table tennis, tennis, Northern Europe formula training, squash and racquetball, the energy that the user consumes is determined based on the intensity that the user carries out respective activity usually.In addition, for the activity such as walking and running, the energy that the user consumes can be determined based on the speed of user when carrying out respective activity.

User-selected activity (referring to piece 36) therefore can have the type that is associated based on being used to calculate the technology of user's energy of consumption when carrying out selected activity.Although each activity can have many any kinds in dissimilar, in an exemplary embodiments, each activity can be identified as continuously active, intensity activity or ambulatory activities.As mentioned above, compared to intensity and ambulatory activities, the energy that the user consumes when carrying out continuously active can be determined based on the persistent period that the user carries out respective activity.Therefore in general and in particular for continuously active, activity detection is used 30 and can be followed the tracks of the user and carry out the selected active persistent period, as shown in piece 44.

On the other hand, for each intensity activity, can determine intensity level at carrying out active user, as shown in piece 46.Intensity level can be determined with any way in many different modes.For example in one embodiment, intensity level can be measured to determine based on average acceleration.More particularly, intensity level I can determine as follows:

I = \frac{1}{N_{2}} Σ_{k = i - N_{2}}^{i} | x_{k} | + | y_{k} |,

N wherein ₂Equal the hits that obtains in given measurement period, it can equal or be different from N recited above ₁After determining intensity level, then intensity level can be zoomed to such as within from 0 to 100 the scope if needed.

Compared to the intensity activity, for each ambulatory activities, activity detection uses 30 can detect user's each step when carrying out respective activity, as shown in piece 48.Along with the user carries out activity, the speed that activity detection is used the step number can follow the tracks of the user then and carried out and the user carries out walking.Can detect each step with any way in many different modes although activity detection is used, in one embodiment, activity detection is used and is detected each step by at first bandpass filtering being carried out in the accelerometer measurement.For example, activity detection is used and can be carried out finite impulse response (FIR) filtering to measurement,, the measurement standardization of filtering can be overflowed avoiding if needed.

As what it will be understood by those skilled in the art that, activity detection is used and can be detected user's walking and not need chest-to-back acceleration (y axle) to measure based on downward acceleration (x axle) measurement.Yet, in various embodiments, particularly in the example when the user moves with the very low speed of travel, may wish that based on chest-to-back acceleration measurement detects user's walking.Therefore, below describe and will put forth effort on downward acceleration analysis, but should be appreciated that if needed, activity detection is used equally can handle the chest-to-back acceleration measurement with the mode identical with downward acceleration analysis.

At one more particularly among the embodiment, activity detection uses 30 can transmit downward acceleration analysis by following FIR wave filter:

{\hat{x}}_{i} = \frac{1}{C_{1}} Σ_{k - 0}^{m - 1} h_{k} x_{i - k},

H wherein _kComprise each in the individual filter tap of m (for example m=16), and C ₁Comprise constant (for example 2048).The FIR wave filter can comprise in order to any tap in the many different filter taps of realizing wave filter.For example, the FIR wave filter can comprise the filter tap group that is used for each ambulatory activities, is used to run active such as one group of filter tap and another group that is used for Ambulatory Activity.In this, the filter tap that is used for Ambulatory Activity can be implemented in 0.1 and 4Hz have the band filter of cut-off frequency, and the active filter tap that is used to run can be implemented in 0.1 and 2Hz have the band filter of cut-off frequency.

After filtering was carried out in measurement, activity detection uses 30 can come calculated threshold according to the measurement through filtering.More particularly, for example activity detection is used and can be determined threshold value T according to following formula:

T = \frac{C_{2}}{N_{1}} Σ_{k = i - N_{1}}^{i} | x_{k} |,

C_{2} = \{\begin{matrix} 2 / 4 & if & walking \\ 3 / 4 & if & running \end{matrix},

N wherein ₁Equal the hits (for example 128 samplings) in the sample window piece as before, wherein can carry out once determining that the average among the threshold value T calculates each sample window piece.Will appreciate that, if needed, this threshold value can be configured to have minima (T for example _MIN=25) detect in order to eliminate, such as in that terminal 10 is quiet when being put on the table according to the very low walking that measures.

After filtering and calculated threshold were carried out in measurement, activity detection uses 30 can detect walking by measurement and the threshold value that compares through filtering then.More particularly, for example the activity detection application can state machine, S thus ₀The state of representative when measuring, and S greater than respective threshold ₁The state of representative when measuring less than negative threshold value.Then according to these states, whenever state from S ₁Be converted to S ₀The time, promptly when the measurement less than negative threshold value was increased to greater than threshold value, activity detection is used can detect walking.Can receive one or more sporadic measurements because activity detection is used, these measurements can be indicated walking when the user does not carry out walking as yet practically, so if needed, and state S ₁Can comprise overtime (for example one second) and within overtime, be not more than threshold value then the S that gets the hang of if make to measure ₀And do not have corresponding walking to detect.

Except that detecting each step, activity detection uses 30 can determine that as mentioned above the user carries out the speed of ambulatory activities, also as shown in piece 48.For example, activity detection is used and can be determined speed by determining each used speed of step of activity detection applying detection.Walking speed can multiply each other with the step-length of user when carrying out corresponding ambulatory activities (for example walk, running etc.) then, and wherein step-length can be imported by the user with other personal information (referring to piece 36).In addition, activity detection is used and can be determined that the user has carried out selected active distance.For example, activity detection is used and can be multiplied each other to determine distance by the step number that will detect and the step-length of respective activity.

Will appreciate that activity detection is used 30 and determined or calculate perhaps many physiologic informations of many different values at the selected activity of every class that no matter is intensity activity, continuously active or ambulatory activities.Yet, should be appreciated that when not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention regardless of selected active type, activity detection is used and can be determined or calculate many physiologic informations at the one or more types in other Activity Type.For example, no matter be what Activity Type, activity detection use determine or calculate user's heart rate, intensity level, activity persistent period, the step number of detection, user carry out active speed and/or user carry out in the active distance any one or a plurality of.

At one or more time points, to use 30 in activity detection and determine or calculate in one or more information in aforementioned each bar physiologic information or afterwards, activity detection is used and can be calculated the user carrying out the selected energy that consumes when movable, as shown in piece 50.In this, as mentioned above, activity detection is used and can and also be calculated the energy that is consumed based on Activity Type based on activity.In addition, activity detection is used and can also carry out the energy that definite user of active persistent period consumes based on user's basal metabolic rate (BMR), metabolic equivalent (MET) and user when being carried out continuously active.More particularly, activity detection is used and can and also also be determined MET based on speed based on intensity level when selected activity has the ambulatory activities type when selected activity has the intensity Activity Type based on activity.As the record of symbolization ground, activity detection is used and can be determined the calory count that the user consumes according to one of following formula then:

Calories _charntiow＝BMR×MET(activity)×time

Calories _intensity＝BMR×MET(activity，intensity)×time

Calories _step＝BMR×MET(activity，speed)×time

BMR and MET can determine with any way in many different modes.For example, BMR can determine that each in these information can be imported together with other personal information of user based on user's sex, age and body weight (referring to piece 36).More particularly, BMR can determine that these equatioies are predicted BMR based on user's age and body weight according to world health organization's equation.For example, for the male of age 18-30, BMR can determine as follows:

BMR _18-30＝15.3×weight+679

Wherein weight represents with kilogram.

Similar to BMR, MET can determine with any way in many different modes.Will appreciate that the MET value is normally defined active energy expenditure, and comprise some BMR for different activities.For example, the MET value that is used for continuously active can comprise the constant multiplier based on respective activity, and wherein rule of thumb property analysis of this constant, study wait to determine.For the intensity activity, MET can determine based on the relation between energy cost and the intensity level at selected activity.Therefore rule of thumb property analysis, study etc. can be determined relation between MET and the intensity I at each optional activity.Although can determine any order relation between MET and the intensity I, in one embodiment, can determine to have the linear relationship of following form:

MET(activity，intensity)＝C ₁×I+C ₄

In the pro-formula, C ₃And C ₄Represented to be used for selected active constant to what linear relationship defined, rule of thumb property analysis, study wait to determine as mentioned above for the two.Will appreciate that, in various examples, may wish the relation constraint between MET and the I is arrived within minima and the maximum, i.e. MET _MAX, MET _MINAnd I _MAX, I _MINIn such example, C ₃And C ₄Can be in intensity I less than I _MINIn time, be set to equal zero.Surpass I and work as I _MAXThe time, C ₃Can be set to equal zero, and C ₄Be set to equal MET _MAX

Compared to being used for the active MET of intensity, can be by carrying out the MET that weighting is identified for ambulatory activities to carrying out selected active speed based on selected activity.More particularly, the MET that for example is used for ambulatory activities can determine as follows:

MET(activity，speed) _walking＝0.4930×speed

MET(activity，speed) _running＝1.0×speed

Wherein speed can with the kilometer per hour (km/h) represent.

Because activity detection is used 30 operations and determined or calculate each bar physiologic information, activity detection is used among the data base 32 that one or more physiologic information can be recorded in such as terminal 10.For example, as shown in piece 52, activity detection is used can be at carrying out the paces that selected active user comes recorded heart rate, consumed energy, persistent period, distance and/or detects.As shown in piece 54, during operation, activity detection is used to receive from accelerometer continuously and is measured, and determines or calculate the different physiologic information of each bar for carrying out selected active user.

Each bar physiologic information of being used 30 records by activity detection can compare with ownership goal subsequently.For example, the heart rate of record, consumed energy, persistent period, distance and/or the paces that detect can be respectively compare with target for the paces of heart rate, consumed energy, persistent period, distance and/or detection.In this, import and activity detection use to receive in user's the personal information or afterwards the user, the user can import and activity detection is used and can be received and the relevant ownership goal of one or more and selected activity.For example, activity detection is used the targets such as step number can receive when being used to carry out active expection heart rate, consumed energy quantity, carry out the active persistent period, carry out active distance and/or carry out activity.Will appreciate that, can be at any time section in some different time sections, such as at single-unit activity or by the sky, by week, wait one or more activities of carrying out to come receiving target monthly, per year.

Except each bar physiologic information of writing down in the section in preset time and/or be used for the target of corresponding each bar physiologic information in section preset time, activity detection uses 30 can present the comparison of ownership goal and the user progress towards these targets.For example, as shown in Fig. 4 A-4D, activity detection is used the pictorial representation that can driving display 16 presents ownership goal such as the form with closed loop 56.As shown in the figure, closed loop comprises or splits into a plurality of sections 58 that wherein each section represented the continuous percentage ratio of target.In this, from a certain section, can represent the continuous percentage ratio of target from each continuous adjacent piece on assigned direction of beginning section 58a.For example, for by 2,000 calories of targets that comprise 20 sections closed loop representative, each section can be represented 5% or 100 calorie of target.In this, beginning section can represent first 5%, and the beginning section is right after right-hand section 58b and represent second 5% of target (promptly 10%), section 58b to be right after right-hand section 58c to represent the 3rd 5% (promptly 15%), the rest may be inferred.

Because activity detection is used 30 and is discerned each the continuous the percentage ratio when user reaches target such as comparing by each the bar physiologic information with target and respective record, the continuous percentage ratio that the activity detection application can driving display 16 reaches in response to the user and change the correspondent section that the closed loop of target is represented.Activity detection is used can change correspondent section with any way in many different modes.For example in an embodiment shown in Fig. 4 B-4C, reach the continuous percentage ratio of target in response to the user, activity detection is used the color that driving display changes correspondent section, such as by with color from white, uncertain color or additionally be the colourless black that changes over.

Except the pictorial representation that presents target at the given time period and user towards the progress of target, the time period can be made progress at different time periods and the user who presents with respect to these time periods and be increased or reduce.For example, one day target of users in 10,000 steps of walking can by with a temmoku scalar multiplication with convert to over seven days in a week all targets (promptly 70,000 going on foot), by with a temmoku scalar multiplication to convert target in January (promptly 300 January over 30 days to, 000 step), the rest may be inferred.Alternatively, for example walk 10, one day target of user in 000 step can by with one day target divided by one day twenty four hours convert one hour target (i.e. 417 steps) to, by converting one day target to one minute target (promptly 7 going on foot) divided by one day 1440 minutes, the rest may be inferred.Each bar physiologic information relevant with respective objects can be write down and be collected on one or more corresponding time periods then, and presented such as being relevant to one or more respective objects in the mode shown in Fig. 4 A-4D.Additionally or alternatively, each bar physiologic information relevant with respective objects can present with one or more alternate manners.For example, as shown in Figure 5, can in the bar diagram of each bar physiologic information, present each bar physiologic information on the section in some continuous times.

As above institute is described, and activity detection is used 30 and can be presented and receive " detecting automatically " selection, and this selects just to cause that once selected the activity applying detection detects this activity when the user carries out activity.For example in an exemplary embodiments, one or more activities can limit by identifier (for example RFID).In this, can be such as by being positioned at or the adjacent terminals user can carry out RFID labelling or other short-range communication means (for example access point) of the position (perhaps equipment, machine etc.) of respective activity, carry out " labelling " or additionally receive by 10 pairs of respective activity of terminal.Subsequently, can be based on offering identifiers of terminals by the RFID labelling or other short-range communication means is called respective activity.For example, consider that WAP is positioned at the contiguous place, tennis court of tennis facilities, wherein access point is applicable to that transmission has defined the active identifier of tennis.In this example, when selected activity comprise " automatically detect " thereby and terminal use when entering tennis facilities and terminal being brought within the scope of access point, can to receive this identifier be tennis with selected activity detection thereby activity detection is used.

In another embodiment, for example activity detection is used and can be detected from not having activity or walking or the active user's that runs activity.In this, on sample window piece (for example N=50), can calculate the average absolute value that is used for downward acceleration (x axle) and chest-to-back acceleration (y axle) according to following formula:

x_{mean}, y_{mean} = \frac{1}{N} Σ_{k = i - N}^{i} | x_{k}, y_{k} |

Then, for every couple of [x _Mean, y _Mean], activity detection is used square Euclidean distance d can be determined to each detectable moving phase related predefine barycenter.In this, it is right that each activity can have the relevant coordinate of center of mass values.It is right that Ambulatory Activity for example can have following center-of-mass coordinate: C _x=120, C _y=70.As the record of symbolization ground, then for each detectable activity, can be as follows with determining apart from d:

d＝(x _mean-C _x) ²÷(y _mean-C _y) ²

Determined to each detectable moving phase related barycenter apart from d after, activity detection is used can be chosen as the activity with beeline detected activity.

Will appreciate that, in various examples, terminal 10 can be operated (carried out or additionally started activity detection and used 30) carrying out different position, active position selected or that detected with those proximal subscribers, such as when terminal positioning when the memory location is located.Activity detection is used and therefore can be configured to determine the position of terminal according to the measurement that receives from accelerometer, thus help activity detection to use to discern the user when carry out activity and in the user does not have the active period terminal when operating.Determine that according to such activity detection is used and can also be calculated further then that in fact the user does not have the active persistent period when the user operates.

As mentioned above, terminal 10 can comprise one or more pick offs 34, and wherein pick off 34 comprises diaxon or 3-axis acceleration sensor (accelerometer).Comprise in the example of triaxial accelerometer that in terminal activity detection is used 30 and can also be measured to determine the posture of terminal when terminal is operated thus from three receipts that be coupling.By determining posture, activity detection use can with the situation of the orientation-independent of terminal under determine when terminal is not operating in the user has the active period.In addition, when terminal was attached to user's location aware, activity detection should can be determined user's posture in week, was not having in the active period terminal when operate also to allow activity detection to use to determine.

As mentioned above, activity detection is used the individual body-building target of 30 energy leading subscribers.In this, also as mentioned above, activity detection is used and can driving display to be presented these targets and the user progress towards these targets.Yet, should be appreciated that activity detection uses the one or more targets also can dynamically adjust the user based on the user towards the progress of these targets.For example, suppose that the user has walking one all targets in 70,000 steps, this target can be subdivided into one day target in 10,000 steps.Equally, suppose the first five day in this week, the user has walked and has amounted to only 10,000 steps.In such example, activity detection is used and the user can be adjusted to 30,000 steps of every day in one day target of two days of this week residue.By one day target is adjusted to 30,000 steps of every day, one day target that the user can reach by the residue in this week through adjusting on the 2nd reaches 70, the 000 all targets that go on foot.
