Abstract

A wearable device includes: a wake up component that generates a first wake-up signal based on a first detected exercise activity location and generates a second wake-up signal based on a second detected exercise activity location; a receiver that receives a first exercise signal from a first transmitter based on receipt of the first wake-up signal and receives a second exercise signal from a second transmitter based on receipt of the second wake-up signal, the first exercise signal being associated with a first exercise session of the user, the second exercise signal being associated with a second exercise session of the user; a memory that stores first exercise data based on first exercise signal and stores second exercise data based on the second exercise signal; and a transmitter that transmits an exercise download signal based on the first exercise data and the second exercise data.

Claims (42)

1. A wearable device for use by a user, the wearable device comprising:

a positioning system operable to provide a geodetic location of the wearable device;

a wake up component operable to generate a wake-up signal when the geodetic location of the wearable device is within a predetermined distance of an exercise activity location;

a transceiver operable to receive an exercise signal from a transmitter based on receipt of the wake-up signal, the exercise signal being associated with an exercise session of the user; and

a memory operable to store the exercise data based on the exercise signal;

wherein the transceiver is further operable to transmit an exercise download signal based on the exercise data.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the wake up component is operable to generate the wake-up signal upon receipt of a handshake signal originating from the transmitter at an exercise equipment at the detected exercise activity location.

3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a processing component operable to generate user data based on at least one of a first combination and a second combination, the first combination being based on the exercise signal, and the second combination being based on the exercise data.

4. The device of claim 3 ,

wherein the processing component is operable to generate the user data as a first signature;

wherein the memory has a second signature stored therein;

wherein the processing component is further operable to generate a comparison signal based on a comparison of the first signature and the second signature; and

wherein the transceiver is further operable to transmit the comparison signal.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is operable to receive and/or transmit via at least one of: a Bluetooth signal, a Wi-Fi signal and an RF signal.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit the exercise download signal to a user device in communication with the wearable device.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the wearable device comprises at least one computerized apparatus disposed at a shoe and the user device comprises a mobile telephone apparatus.

8. A smart shoe apparatus to be worn by a user:

a positioning apparatus configured to provide a geodetic location of the smart shoe apparatus;

a wake-up component configured to generate a wake-up signal when the geodetic location of the smart shoe is within a predetermined distance of an activity location;

a transceiver apparatus configured to receive an activity signal from a transmitter based at least in part on receipt of the wake-up signal thereat, and the activity signal being associated with an activity session of the user; and

a memory apparatus operable to store activity data based at least in part on the activity signal;

wherein the transceiver apparatus is further configured to transmit an activity download signal based at least in part on the activity data.

9. The smart shoe of claim 8 , wherein the positioning apparatus comprises a global positioning system (GPS)-enabled apparatus.

10. The smart shoe of claim 8 , wherein the transmitter is associated to exercise equipment.

11. The smart shoe of claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit the exercise download signal to a mobile user device in communication with the smart shoe.

12. The smart shoe of claim 11 , wherein the transmission of the activity download signal occurs when the positioning apparatus determines that the smart shoe is within a predetermined distance to the mobile user device.

13. The smart shoe of claim 8 , wherein the activity download signal comprises a signal to transmit the stored activity data to a user device in communication with the smart shoe for comparison with previously downloaded and stored activity data at the user device.

14. The smart shoe of claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is operable to receive and/or transmit via at least one of: a Bluetooth signal, a Wi-Fi signal and an RF signal.

15. A wearable device for use by a user, the wearable device comprising:

a user interface operable to generate a user command based on a user action;

a wake up component operable to generate a wake-up signal based on a user action at an exercise activity location;

a receiver operable to receive an exercise signal from a transmitter based on receipt of the wake-up signal, the exercise signal being associated with an exercise session of the user;

a memory operable to store exercise data based on the exercise signal and to store a first signature;

a processing component operable to:

generate user data as a second signature, the user data being based on at least one of: a first combination based on the exercise signal and a second combination based on the exercise data; and

generate a comparison signal based on a comparison of the first signature and the second signature; and

a transmitter operable to transmit an exercise download signal based on the exercise data and to transmit the comparison signal.

16. The device of claim 8 , wherein the receiver and the transmitter are operable to receive and/or transmit via at least one of: a Bluetooth signal, a Wi-Fi signal and an RF signal.

17. The device of claim 8 , wherein the wearable device comprises at least one shoe having a computerized apparatus associated therewith.

18. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first and second transmitters are associated to first and second exercise equipment, respectively.

19. The device of claim 8 , wherein the exercise download signal comprises a signal to transmit the exercise data and the comparison signal to a user device in communication with the smart shoe for display thereat.

20. The device of claim 8 , further comprising a positioning apparatus configured to provide a geodetic location of the smart shoe apparatus; and the wake up component is operable to generate the wake-up signal when the geodetic location of the wearable device is within a predetermined distance of the exercise activity location.
