Patent number: 10179262Abstract: A biometric monitoring device with a display is provided. The biometric monitoring device may track the completion progress towards one or more biometric performance goals and provide a goal celebration indicator upon completion of a biometric performance goal and subsequent receipt of an input signal. In some implementations, the completion of a biometric performance goal may be signaled prior to receipt of the input signal using a secondary indicator.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Christine Boomer Brumback, David Wayne Knight, Jayson Dean Michilena Messenger, Jung Ook Hong

Publication number: 20170135636Abstract: The present inventions, in one aspect, are directed to portable biometric monitoring device including a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the user's body, at least one band to secure the monitoring device to the user, a physiological sensor, disposed in the housing, to generate data which is representative of a physiological condition of the user data. The physiological sensor may include a light source to generate and output light having at least a first wavelength, and a photodetector to detect scattered light (e.g., from the user). A light pipe is disposed in the housing and optically coupled to the light source directs/transmits light therefrom along a predetermined path to an outer surface of the housing. Processing circuitry calculates a heart rate of the user using data which is representative of the scattered light.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: James Park, Christine Boomer Brumback, David Wayne Knight

Patent number: 9026927Abstract: A biometric monitoring device with a display is provided. The display may, in response to receiving page advance requests from a user, advance through a plurality of different data display pages, at least some of which show aspects of biometric data recorded by the device. The biometric monitoring device may also, based on the biometric data, modify the sequential display order of the data display pages. In some implementations, a biometric monitoring device integrated into a wristband may be configured to turn a display of the biometric monitoring device on and display the time in response to biometric sensors of the biometric monitoring device detecting motion of the wearer's forearm consistent with moving the forearm into a watch-viewing position.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Christine Boomer Brumback, David Wayne Knight, James Park, Andrew Cole Axley, Shelten Gee Jao Yuen
