TL;DR: A wearable device assembly has a housing supporting a controller, display and indicator system thereon, and the controller selectively illuminates the indicator system to indicate a level of activity of the user as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, an athletic performance monitoring system, for motivating a user to reach a goal level of athletic activity, is presented, where the system may motivate the user by calculation a deficit between a current total level of activity and the goal level, and suggesting activity types that the user may carry out in order to reach the goal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors manage the battery of an athletic activity monitoring device in both charged and discharged state to provide more accurate state information and/or expected charge times, and various power management processes may be executed to maximize an amount of battery charge remaining.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wrist-worn device monitors movements of a user with a flexible circuit member, which may contain extra and redundant traces as well as the ability to store data on RAM if the flash memory fails or if some or all trace connections between the processor and flash memory fail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a power supply management and charging method for acquiring correct battery state information by maximizing the battery life of an athletic activity monitoring device, which includes: a step for determining an initial voltage value outputted from a battery of the athlete activity monitoring devices; a step 2250 for determining a lapse time amount from the start of a battery charging state by the athletic activity monitor device; and a step 2265 for determining the current battery charge amount as a charge amount percentage.
