Abstract: A multi-function button is provided for a wearable device. A method includes associating, by at least one processor of the wearable device, operation of a button of a user interface of the wearable device with a quick-launch function of a computer program application stored in the wearable device, wherein operation of the button in a state where the computer program application is not being executed and where an icon identifying and enabling launch of the computer program application is not being displayed causes launch of the computer program application; and detecting, by the at least one processor while the computer program application is being executed, operation of the button and, in response to the detection, causing execution of a function of the computer program application.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing and a fixing mechanism configured to attach the housing to an object. The housing includes a display device and at least one processor configured to receive measurement data in a measurement mode during a physical exercise, to process the received measurement data, thus generating exercise data characterizing the exercise, and to display the exercise data through the display device during the physical exercise. The display device is configured to provide a plurality of display view orientations associated with different rotation angles between a first display view orientation, defined by attachment of the fixing mechanism to the object, and a 90-degree rotation from the first display view orientation. At least one function of the processor is associated with the rotation of the display view.

Abstract: An electrode belt includes at least one electrode to measure biometric signals related to heart activity of a user, a non-conductive strip having at least one opening, and a flexible strip to enable placement of the electrode belt against the skin of the user. The non-conductive strip is coupled with the flexible strip such that, when in use, the at least one electrode is in physical contact with the skin of the user.

Abstract: A system that monitors user activity includes a wrist device including a curved body and an electronic circuitry supported by the body. The electronic circuitry includes a first set of light emitting diodes arranged in a matrix form and forming a display unit, at least one motion sensor configured to measure physical motion caused by a user to the wrist device, and at least one processor configured to acquire motion measurement data from the at least one motion sensor, to process the motion measurement data into a motion activity metric, and to cause the display unit to display the motion activity metric. The at least one processor is further configured to acquire heart activity measurement data from a heart activity sensor, to process the heart activity measurement data into a heart activity metric, and to cause the display unit to display the heart activity metric.

Abstract: A system includes a portable device and an external device connected wirelessly. Graphical user interface data determines a user interface functionality to be executed in a user interface of the external device in the portable apparatus, and is transmitted to the external device. The user interface functionality includes presenting at least one graphical interaction element on the user interface and receiving user input as a response to the user interacting with the graphical interaction element. The input data received from the user interface is used in the portable device to control a computer process relating to physiological data.

Abstract: A wrist device includes a first scale and a first hand, an actuator member configured to control movement of the first hand, at least one processor, and at least one memory including a computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the wrist device to perform operations including, obtaining physiological measurement data of a user, and causing, based on the physiological measurement data, the actuator member to move the first hand to indicate a physiological value on the first scale.

Abstract: A wrist-worn physical activity measurement apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a bracelet comprising a plurality of links, each link being formed at one side to comprise a part and at the opposite side a counterpart interlocking with a part of an adjacent link, and a flexible casing encasing the plurality of the links. The apparatus is attachable around a curvature of a wrist of a user such that the links and the adjacent links are pivotably lockable in relation to each other in order to wrap and lock around the wrist.
