CALCULATING PACE AND ENERGY EXPENDITURE FROM ATHLETIC MOVEMENT ATTRIBUTES

摘要

To provide a calculation method for pace and energy expenditure capable of accurately evaluating energy expenditure such as calorie expenditure of a user during physical activity.SOLUTION: Systems and methods configured to process motion data associated with a user. The systems and the methods are configured to receive motion data from a sensor, calculate motion attributes from the data, and classify the motion data using one or more mathematical models. Attributes may be calculated without classifying the motion data into an activity type. Attributes may be compared to mathematical models. Motion data in the models and attributes of the user may be independent of any activity type. Attributes may be compared to select an energy expenditure model from one or more energy expenditure models, or to select an activity classification model from one or more activity classification models. An energy expenditure, namely classification as linear locomotion movement of received data, may then be calculated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
