  • User identification by biometric monitoring device
    Patent number: 11382536
    Abstract: Techniques for user identification by a biometric monitoring device are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of operating a biometric monitoring device may involve measuring a weight of a user in response to detecting that the user is standing on a platform, determining, based on sensor data generated by a sensor, a user parameter indicative of the user's identification, identifying one of a plurality of user profiles as corresponding to the user based on a comparison of the user parameter to parameter values and a comparison of the measured weight of the user to weight values, and updating the identified user profile based on at least one of the measured weight and the user parameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.
