A bicycle computer having position-determining functionality is described. In an implementation, an apparatus includes a housing configured to attach to a bicycle. The apparatus has one or more modules to store training metrics of a user of the bicycle as a function of geographic position.

Bicycle computer having position-determining functionality

A personal training device () adapted to assist a user in reaching performance goals, navigating, and accumulating performance statistics. In a preferred embodiment, the device broadly comprises a housing (); an attachment mechanism (); a GPS component (); a user interface (), including an input portion () and an output portion (); a processor (), including a timer () and a memory element (); a data interface (), including an input portion () and an output portion (); an audio component (); and a power supply (). The device () is adapted to store goal information, monitor performance using GPS-derived data, and communicate performance information.

Personal training device using GPS data

A portable apparatus () providing both substantially automated performance monitoring and audio entertainment features. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus () broadly comprises a portable housing (); an attachment mechanism (); a GPS component (); a heart rate monitor component (); an audio component (); a user interface (); a processor (); and a power supply (). The housing () may include a headset () wherein the GPS component () is located, and a second housing component () wherein the processor () is located, wherein the GPS component () communicates with the processor () in a wireless manner. The apparatus () is adapted to determine a number of laps or a distance, to provide an elapsed time, and to determine a speed.

Portable apparatus with performance monitoring and audio entertainment features

A watch device includes a touch-sensitive user interface employing a sensor positioned within the bezel of the display for detecting when the bezel is touched by a user of the watch device. The sensor may be capable of detecting single presses, multiple simultaneous presses, and scrolling motion presses about the bezel.

Watch device having touch-bezel user interface

A navigation-assisted fitness device broadly comprising a location determining component, a fitness monitoring component and a display. The location determining component determines location data for a user of the device as the user exercises. The fitness monitoring component is coupled with the location determining component and calculates fitness information for the user as the user exercises. The display displays the fitness information and other information and data. The fitness information may include an indication of the intensity level of the user's exercise, the total amount of calories burned by the user during the exercise, the amount of fat calories burned, and the amount of carbohydrate calories burned. The device calculates the ratio of fat calories burned versus carbohydrate calories burned based on the intensity level. As the user increases or decreases the intensity level of an exercise, the device recalculates and displays the ratio or percentage of total calories burned from fat reserves and from carbohydrate reserves.

Navigation-assisted fitness and dieting device

A portable apparatus () providing both substantially automated performance monitoring and audio entertainment features. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus () broadly comprises a portable housing (); an attachment mechanism (); a GPS component (); a heart rate monitor component (); an audio component (); a user interface (); a processor (); and a power supply (). The housing () may include a headset () within which is located the GPS component (), and a second housing component () within which is located the processor (), wherein the GPS component () communicates with the processor () in a wireless manner. The apparatus () is adapted to determine a number of laps or a distance, to provide an elapsed time, and to determine a speed.

A portable GPS/radio unit () communicates over a wireless radio network () with at least one other such unit (A-E). The unit () may transmit radio signals over the network () indicative of the unit's location and receive similar radio signals from other such units. The unit () is operable to display an indication of the distance between two or more units, an indication of the amount of time that has elapsed since location data was last received from another unit, a track log or track back information for another unit, and an indication if the unit () is about to lose communications with another unit. The unit () also may be operated to gather and transmit to other units location data corresponding to way points. The perspective or vantage point from which location data and other information is viewed may be selected or changed by the user of the unit ().
