This document discloses a portable system comprising a physical activity monitoring device comprising: a wireless proximity detection module configured to detect a proximity of an input control entity with respect to the physical activity monitoring device and output a control signal as a response to the detection, wherein the proximity is a non-zero distance between the input control entity and the training computer; and a user interface controller configured to generate, as a response to the control signal from the wireless proximity detection module, at least one of an audio control function and a display control function.

User interface control in portable system

A server computer to provide a web service including exercise data user accounts, acquire and store a unique device identifier of at least one physiological sensor device, associate each of the acquired at least one device identifier with one of the exercise data user accounts, detect that an exercise application of a user terminal successfully accesses a specific exercise data user account, and provide the user terminal with the at least one device identifier which is associated with the specific exercise data user account. There is further provided a user terminal to successfully access the specific exercise data user account in the web service, acquire the at least one device identifier from the web service, and apply the acquired at least one device identifier in determining whether or not to allow the user terminal to wirelessly pair with a physiological sensor device.
