- FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus 100 .
- the apparatus 100 may be a mobile apparatus, a cycling computer, a running computer, a multi-sport computer, an activity monitor, or a subscriber terminal of a radio system (such as a mobile phone), for example.

- Polar Electro® www.polarelectro.com
- the apparatus 100 may be implemented based on a Polar RS800CX and/or a Polar CS600X, for example.
- the implementation of the embodiments in such an existing product requires relatively small and well-defined modifications.
- feasible platforms for the implementation of the embodiments described in this patent application also evolve and emerge.

- ECG-accurate electrocardiogram
- the heart rate monitor may also be implemented such that instead of the solution comprising a chest strap transmitter and a wrist receiver, the heart rate may directly be measured from the wrist on the basis of the pressure, for example. Other ways for measuring the heart rate may also be employed. As sensor technology becomes more integrated, less expensive, and its power consumption characteristics are improved, the sensor measuring heart activity data may also be placed in other arrangements besides the chest strap transmitter. Polar Electro is already marketing clothes that may be provided with separate small sensor units wirelessly communicating with the wrist receiver.
- the apparatus 100 comprises a processor 102 .
- the term ‘processor’ refers to a device that is capable of processing data.
- the processor 102 may comprise an electronic circuit implementing the required functionality, and/or a microprocessor running a computer program implementing the required functionality.
- a person skilled in the art will consider the requirements set for the size and power consumption of the apparatus, the necessary processing capacity, production costs, and production volumes, for example.
- the electronic circuit may comprise logic components, standard integrated circuits, and/or application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
- ASIC application-specific integrated circuits
- the microprocessor implements functions of a central processing unit (CPU) on an integrated circuit.
- the CPU is a logic machine executing a computer program, which comprises program instructions.
- the program instructions may be coded as a computer program using a programming language, which may be a high-level programming language, such as C, Java, etc., or a low-level programming language, such as a machine language, or an assembler.
- the CPU may comprise a set of registers, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and a control unit.
- the control unit is controlled by a sequence of program instructions transferred to the CPU from a program memory.
- the control unit may contain a number of microinstructions for basic operations. The implementation of the microinstructions may vary, depending on the CPU design.
- the microprocessor may also have an operating system (a dedicated operating system of an embedded system, or a real-time operating system), which may provide system services to the computer program.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a computer program 200 run on the processor 102 .

- the wired external sensor 106 may be used if wireless communication is not feasible for some reason.
- the wireless external sensor 104 may be coupled 126 by electric and/or magnetic radiation with a receiver 108 of the apparatus 100 , and the receiver 108 (implemented by an integrated circuit, for example) may be coupled 128 by a wiring on a printed circuit board with the interface 112 .
- the wireless external sensor 104 may be implemented with an induction-based technology utilizing a magnetic field, or a radio-based technology utilizing electric radiation, for example.
