Patent number: 10507358Abstract: A method, apparatus, and a computer program for monitoring a fitness exercise are described. A plurality of heart-rate variability values and a plurality of exertion parameter values are measured during an exercise measured. The heart rate variability values correlate with the exertion parameter values through a human physiological mechanism, and the exertion parameter values characterize the physical exertion of the exercise. A mathematical correspondence is then constructed from the plurality of measured heart rate variability values and associated exertion parameter values. The mathematical correspondence describes correlation between the heart rate variability values and the exertion parameter values and the user's physiological state during the exercise. Then, the physical exertion of the exercise is monitored by applying the mathematical correspondence.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: POLAR ELECTRO OYInventors: Hannu Kinnunen, Jarkko Haataja, Tero Posio

Patent number: 8538691Abstract: A portable electronic device comprises a controller and a display. The controller receives vector data on a position of a user of the portable device from a satellite positioning sensor associated with the user, and scalar data on movement of the user from at least one motion sensor associated with the user. The controller stores data based on the vector data and feeds a scalar parameter proportional to the scalar data to the display. The display displays the scalar parameter.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Polar Electro OyInventors: Jarkko Haataja, Urpo Niemelä, Tero Posio
