  • Patent number: 12288473
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for physiological pattern recognition are described. A device may receive physiological data associated with a user from a wearable device. The device may determine that at least one physiological parameter associated with the received physiological data satisfies a physiological threshold associated with a pattern between the physiological threshold and a taggable event or a set of taggable events defined within an application associated with the wearable device. The device may then identify, based on the pattern, the taggable event or the set of taggable events indicating an activity the user engaged in that contributed to the at least one physiological parameter satisfying the physiological threshold, and cause a graphical user interface (GUI) of the device running the application to prompt the user to provide feedback associated with the identified taggable event or the identified set of taggable events.

  • Patent number: 12254971
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for activity tracking are described. A method for automatic activity detection may include receiving physiological data associated with a user from a wearable device and identifying an activity segment during which the user is engaged in a physical activity based on the physiological data. The method may further include identifying location data associated with the user for at least a portion of the activity segment and identifying one or more parameters associated with the physical activity based on the physiological data and the location data. The method may further include causing a user device to display the one or more parameters associated with the physical activity.

  • Patent number: 12216829
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for device-inputted commands are described. A system may receive physiological data, including motion data, associated with a user from a wearable device worn by the user and may detect multiple motion pulses based on the motion data, where each motion pulse includes motion data that exceeds a motion threshold. The system may additionally identify an input command pattern comprising at least one motion pulse preceded and followed by a static period in a time domain. Additionally, the system may identify one or more user inputs based on the input command pattern matching a reference command pattern and generate one or more instructions based on identifying the one or more user inputs.

  • Publication number: 20240225466
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for leveraging data from multiple data sources are described. A method includes receiving physiological data associated with a user from a wearable device and receiving additional data from an external device different from the wearable device, the additional data including at least data associated with characteristics of an environment associated with the user. The method further includes identifying one or more relationships between the collected physiological data and the characteristics of the environment associated with the user, and causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an indication of the one or more relationships, a message associated with the one or more relationships, or both. In some cases, the method includes causing the GUI to display instructions for selectively adjusting the one or more characteristics of the environment associated with the user based on the one or more relationships.

  • Publication number: 20230190201
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multiple wearable devices are described. A method may include receiving first physiological data associated with a user from a first wearable device worn at a first position on the user and second physiological data associated with the user from a second wearable device worn at a second position on the user. This method may include determining one or more physiological characteristics associated with the user based on a comparison of the first physiological data and the second physiological data and displaying an indication of the one or more physiological characteristics on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device.
