A method includes: obtaining, by an apparatus, instantaneous images from an optical heart activity sensor, wherein the instantaneous images characterize a heart activity data of a user; obtaining information about spatial shifts of a measuring area of the optical heart activity sensor in relation to a body tissue of the user; determining effect of the spatial shifts in the instantaneous images based on the information about the spatial shifts; enhancing the instantaneous images by decreasing the effect of the spatial shifts in the instantaneous images; and processing the enhanced instantaneous images into the heart activity data of the user.

Heart activity measurement

A system that monitors user activity includes a wrist device including a curved body and an electronic circuitry supported by the body. The electronic circuitry includes a first set of light emitting diodes arranged in a matrix form and forming a display unit, at least one motion sensor configured to measure physical motion caused by a user to the wrist device, and at least one processor configured to acquire motion measurement data from the at least one motion sensor, to process the motion measurement data into a motion activity metric, and to cause the display unit to display the motion activity metric. The at least one processor is further configured to acquire heart activity measurement data from a heart activity sensor, to process the heart activity measurement data into a heart activity metric, and to cause the display unit to display the heart activity metric.

System for monitoring physical activity

A wearable electronic apparatus, a computer program and a method are disclosed. Physical activity data measured relating to a user of a wearable electronic apparatus is obtained. An exercise mode of the wearable electronic apparatus is switched on such that information related to the physical activity data is outputted to the user. While the exercise mode is on, wireless application data is received, and, only if the application data fulfills a predetermined relevance condition, the application data is outputted to the user.

Wearable electronic apparatus

A wristband, an electronics module, and a wrist device are disclosed. The wristband and the electronics module form the modular wrist device. The electronics module, when mounted to the wristband, stiffens a structure of at least a portion of the wrist device in order to enable the wrist device to firmly attach against a wrist of a user and to enable optical heart activity measurement by the electronics module.

Wrist band for measuring heart rate of the user

A method includes: receiving, by a wrist device, a notification of an event, wherein the notification is indicated to a user of the wrist device; in response to receiving the notification, initiating at least one measurement; determining, based on the at least one measurement, that a predetermined condition is met; and in response to the determining that the predetermined condition is met, performing an action having an effect on the indication of the notification.

Wrist device having heart activity circuitry

A method of entering text into an electronic devicecomprising a display, the method comprising: controllingthe displayto display one or more demarcated areashaving a transparent background; detectingan input in one of the one or more demarcated areas; and in response to the detecting step controllingthe displayto display an opaque backgroundinstead of a transparent backgroundfor at least one of the one or more demarcated areasfor text entry.
