Patent number: 11864723Abstract: Assessing the sleep quality of a user in association with an electronic device with one or more physiological sensors includes detecting an attempt by the user to fall asleep, and collecting physiological information associated with the user. The disclosed method of assessing sleep quality may include determining respective values for one or more sleep quality metrics, including a first set of sleep quality metrics associated with sleep quality of a plurality of users, and a second set of sleep quality metrics associated with historical sleep quality of the user, based at least in part on the collected physiological information and at least one wakeful resting heart rate of the user, and determining a unified score for sleep quality of the user, based at least in part on the respective values of the one or more sleep quality metrics.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: FITBIT, INC.Inventors: Allison Maya Russell, Zachary Todd Beattie, Alexander Statan, Emma Jane Quinn

Patent number: 11626031Abstract: Methods, techniques, apparatuses, and systems for setting up and tracking sleep consistency goals of users are provided. In one example, a computing system for setting a sleep schedule of a user of a biometric monitoring device may obtain sleep data derived from sensor data generated by the biometric monitoring device, store the sleep data in a sleep log data store as one or more sleep logs associated with an account assigned to the user, and calculate a target bedtime based on a scheduled waketime of the user and a sleep efficiency derived, at least in part, from the sleep data for one or more users stored in the sleep log data store. The computing system may also be configured to provide a number of personalized user interfaces to an individual for the purposes of setting a sleep schedule. Such interfaces may include parameters that are tailored to the individual sleep needs and/or characteristics of the individual's sleep.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: FITBIT, INC.Inventors: Jacob Antony Arnold, Yeqing Cheng, Yasaman Baiani, Allison Maya Russell

Publication number: 20220291820Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for holding the generation of alarm and congratulatory messages. One method includes an operation for capturing motion data using an activity tracking device. Intervals during a day are identified, each interval including a start and an end time, and a near-end time being defined between the start and end times. Another operation is for generating a first notification for display on the activity tracking device when the near-end time of the current interval is reached and the steps taken by the user during the current interval is less than a goal of a predetermined number of steps. Further, the method includes operations for receiving a hold command with a hold period, and for suspending the generation of the first notification during the hold period. After the hold period expires, the generation of the first notification is resumed without requiring user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Yeqing Cheng, Yasaman Baiani, Jacob Antony Arnold, Allison Maya Russell, Alan Christopher McLean

Publication number: 20220079440Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a sedentary state of a user are described. Sensor data is collected and analyzed to calculate metabolic equivalent of task (MET) measures for a plurality of moments of interest. Based on the MET measures and a time period for which the MET measures exceed a threshold value, it is determined whether the user is in a sedentary state. If the user is in the sedentary state, the user is provided a notification to encourage the user to perform a non-sedentary activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Jacob Antony Arnold, Allison Maya Russell, Zachariah Lord Wasson, II, Shelten Gee Jao Yuen
