Abstract: A method implemented by a wearable performance measurement system, for determining and communicating a performance measure, includes selecting a mode of operation of the wearable performance measurement system from a plurality of configured modes of operations. Each mode of operation has a corresponding configured performance measure and configured feedback technique. At least one of the configured performance measure or the configured feedback technique is different for each mode of operation. The method also includes using a set of sensors of the wearable performance measurement system to detect at least one physical movement of a person. The method further includes, determining a type of physical activity from the at least one detected physical movement, and determining a performance measure corresponding to the selected mode of operation. The method also includes communicating an indication of the determined performance measure using the feedback technique corresponding to the selected mode of operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for prioritizing transfer of information between an IP network information resource and a client of the IP network. The method includes receiving an information request by the IP network information resource from the client, determining a priority of transfer of a response through the IP network based upon information associated with the request and prioritizing and sending the response from the information resource to the client by using IP network prioritization mechanisms to give the response the determined relative transfer priority. The apparatus preferably includes an IP network information resource, a memory, and a reverse web proxy.
