Embodiment Construction

[0035] Embodiments described in this disclosure provide systems, apparatuses, Computer readable media and methods. In various embodiments, automatic linking to the activity tracking device is configured with logic to advertise identifier data obtained by the user device such that the user device does not require user input or action to initiate the link. Ability to link with ATD. In one embodiment, the identifier data is a semi-unique identifier (SU-ID) that can be advertised by the ATD so that user equipment that wants to link with the ATD can find and negotiate a connection to the ATD.

[0036] In one implementation, advertising is a function performed by logic (eg, firmware, hardware, software, circuitry, logic, etc.) of the ATD circuitry that enables the transmission of wireless data. The transmitted data can be of any size, although by making the advertised data small, the ATD utilizes less power to transmit the data. In one implementation, the transmitted data adverti...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for automatically linking a device to an activity tracking device. One method includes obtaining, at the device, a semi-unique identifier from a website. The semi-unique identifier is used for activity trackers of user accounts that have been paired to the website. The method includes scanning, by the device, for a semi-unique identifier. The scan is a scan of notification messages generated by one or more activity trackers. The method identifies activity trackers by matching an advertised semi-unique identifier to a semi-unique identifier obtained from a website. The method then includes establishing a link between the activity tracker and the device. The link is established without requiring user initiation to link the activity tracker to the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for link communication between an activity tracking device and a client device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the demand for health and fitness (fitness) has increased dramatically. This increase has occurred due to a better understanding of the benefits of good fitness for overall health and mind and body. Unfortunately, although today's modern culture has brought with it numerous new technologies such as the Internet, connected devices, and computers, people have become less active. Furthermore, many office jobs require a person to sit in front of a computer screen for extended periods of time, which further reduces a person's activity level. Additionally, many of today's entertainment options involve viewing multimedia content, computer social networking, and other types of computer-related interfaces. Although such computer activity can be very productive and enjoyable, such ...
