Bands for measuring biometric information
View Patent ↗In some aspects, a system is provided that includes (1) a wrist band having one or more sensors that measure biometric data of a user wearing the band; and (2) a display on the band that displays a message based on biometric data measured by the band. The message indicates a heart rate zone of the user. Numerous other aspects are provided.
1. A system comprising:
a mobile device of a user; and
a wrist band having one or more sensors configured to measure biometric data of the user, the wrist band operative to communicate measured biometric data to the mobile device of the user, the wrist band and the mobile device of the user operative to:
determine an age, temperature, and weight of the user;
prompt the user to relax;
determine calibration measurements taken while the user relaxes in response to the prompt;
determine a baseline temperature of the user adjusted for an activity level of the user;
determine a plurality of heart rate zones specific to the user based on the age, weight and calibration measurements;
after determining the plurality of heart rate zones specific to the user, measure heart rate and temperature of the user while the user is wearing the wrist band; and
display on the wrist band a message based on the heart rate and temperature measured by the wrist band, wherein the message indicates a heart rate zone of the user selected from the plurality of heart rate zones and a determined mood of the user based on the measured temperature relative to the activity level adjusted baseline temperature.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band and mobile device of the user are operative to prompt the user to relax by prompting the user to breath deep.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band and mobile device of the user are operative to prompt the user to relax by prompting the user to meditate.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band is configured to display a color corresponding to the heart rate zone of the user.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band and the mobile device of the user are configured to determine the heart rate zone selected from at least four heart rate zones.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band and the mobile device of the user are configured to determine the heart rate zone selected from a first heart rate zone, a second heart rate zone, a third heart rate zone, a fourth heart rate zone, a fifth heart rate zone, and a sixth heart rate zone.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the wrist band is configured to display:
a green color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the first heart rate zone;
a blue color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the second heart rate zone;
a purple color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the third heart rate zone;
a yellow color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the fourth heart rate zone;
a pink color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the fifth heart rate zone; and
a red color responsive to the user's heart rate being in the sixth heart rate zone.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the first heart rate zone corresponds to approximately 95 or less heart beats per minute;
the second heart rate zone corresponds to approximately 95-105 heart beats per minute;
the third heart rate zone corresponds to approximately 105-120 heart beats per minute;
the fourth heart rate zone corresponds to approximately 120-135 heart beats per minute;
the fifth heart rate zone corresponds to approximately 135-150 heart beats per minute; and
the sixth heart rate zone corresponds to approximately greater than 150 heart beats per minute.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band is further configured to detect at least one of a handshake of the user, a fist bump of the user, and a high five of the user.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band comprises a waterproof material.
11. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller embedded in the wrist band, the controller coupled to at least one of the one or more sensors.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band is configured to display a color representative of the determined mood.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the color representative of the determined mood is selected from the group consisting of dark blue, blue, blue green, green, amber, gray, and black.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band further comprises a liquid crystal display.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the liquid crystal display is a thermotropic liquid crystal display calibrated to a nominal temperature of about 82° F.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises text.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises text information representative of the heart rate.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is configured to communicate an age of the user to the wrist band.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is configured to communicate the user's weight to the wrist band.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wrist band is configured to display information representative of a stress level.
