WEARABLE COMPUTER WITH FITNESS MACHINE CONNECTIVITY FOR IMPROVED ACTIVITY MONITORING USING CALORIC EXPENDITURE MODELS

摘要

Embodiments are disclosed for a wireless wearable computer with fitness machine connectivity for improved activity monitoring using caloric expenditure models. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining machine data from a fitness machine while the user is engaged in a workout session on the fitness machine; obtaining, from a heart rate sensor, heart rate data of the user; determining, a work rate caloric expenditure by applying a work rate calorie model to the machine data; determining, a calibrated maximal oxygen consumption of the user based on the heart rate data and the work rate caloric expenditure; determining a heart rate caloric expenditure by applying a heart rate calorie model to the heart rate data and the calibrated maximal oxygen consumption of the user; and sending to the fitness machine, at least one of the work rate caloric expenditure or the heart rate caloric expenditure.
