  • Publication number: 20170311365
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for wirelessly identifying and validating an electronic device in order to initiate a communication process with another device or a service. In an embodiment, the system includes a portable biometric monitoring device that is identified by a client device or a server for the purpose of initiating a pairing process. In an embodiment, pairing implies pairing the portable device to an online user account with minimal user interaction. After pairing, the portable device and appropriate client devices and servers communicate with little or no user interaction, for example to upload sensor data collected by the portable device.

  • Patent number: 9079059
    Abstract: A method for generating and using a workout file, comprising recording workout data and notes while performing an athletic workout, attaching trigger conditions to the notes, and exporting the workout data, the notes, and the attached trigger conditions as the workout file, where the exported workout file is configured to be used by a subsequent user to repeat the athletic workout in a manner that plays the notes when the subsequent user performs the trigger conditions.
