Patent number: 11856342Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement and a method for configuring equipment for personal performance monitoring comprising at least one carrier item having a mounting zone for receiving a communication module, one or more sensors and/or actuators and a first processing unit functionally connected to said mounting zone and said sensors and/or actuators. The first processing unit is configured to process sensor signals from the sensors and/or actuators and to communicate with a communication module that is mounted on the mounting zone of the carrier item and having a second processing unit configured to further process said sensor/actuator signals and to communicate processed signals to a remote device over a wireless communication protocol. A remote device is adapted to provide a predefined code to configure the equipment to process sensor or actuator signals according to a use of said carrier item as identified by said predefined code.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Suunto OyInventors: Mikko Martikka, Kimmo Pernu, Erik Lindman, Terho Lahtinen

Patent number: 7324002Abstract: A method for implementing a weather alarm in an outdoor computer includes defining atmospheric-pressure data repeatedly, defining altitude data repeatedly and essentially simultaneously with the atmospheric-pressure data, with the aid of a satellite positioning system, and converting both measured variables into the same measurement unit, either pressure or altitude. The difference between the converted variables is determined and is stored as a reference value, the difference between the converted variables is repeatedly monitored, and when the difference changes by more than a preset limit-value relative to the reference value, a weather alarm is given. Also an apparatus for performing the method.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2004Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Suunto OyInventors: Jari Iso-Heiko, Tapio Savolainen, Terho Lahtinen
