Claim Text:
1. A hand-held mobile weight and exercise management computing device having a housing sized to be held in a user's hand comprising: a storage subsystem for storing health information including a user profile, said storage subsystem being operable to store health information about a user, including body weight, pulse rate information, at least one food-related goal including a calorie-related daily goal, and an exercise-related goal; said storage subsystem being further operable to store data relating to a plurality of user-selectable foods and to store data relating to a plurality of user-selectable exercises; a touch screen display operable to display food-related and exercise-related information to said user; a user interface operable to receive input from said user and to communicate output to said user, said user interface including a plurality of user interface displays displayable on said touch screen display; said user interface being operable to selectively initiate entry into said user profile or at least one food-related operation or at least one exercise-related operation, said user interface including a plurality of user-selectable symbols; said user-selectable symbols being operable to initiate entry into said user profile or at least one food-related operation or at least one exercise-related operation; a digital camera in said housing being operable to generate image data; a GPS receiver in said housing operable to receive input GPS data; a pedometer in said housing operable to generate step-related data; said user interface being operable to display on said touch screen display in said housing: a food mode symbol, and a plurality of user selectable exercise-related symbols for a user to select an exercise for data entry, said user interface being operable to permit a user to select an exercise that uses position coordinate information based upon said input GPS data, including a running exercise and a cycling exercise, and to select an exercise that does not use position coordinate information based upon said input GPS data, including a treadmill-related exercise and a stationary bicycle-related exercise; a processing subsystem, operatively coupled to said user interface, said digital camera, said GPS receiver, said pedometer, said touch screen display, and said storage subsystem, said processing subsystem including: a food monitoring subsystem being operatively coupled to said storage subsystem and being operable to receive food-related data from said user, via said user interface, including data identifying a first set of foods input by said user, and being operable to link said first set of foods to a specific user meal, said first set of foods including a first food and a quantity-related parameter identified by said user; said food monitoring subsystem being operable to determine the calories expected to be consumed by said user upon eating said first food, and to store food-related information in said storage subsystem relating to said first food, including information relating to the nutritional content of said first food and the calories consumed by said user upon eating said first food, based in part on said food-related data from said user; said food monitoring subsystem being operable to receive image data from said digital camera relating to said first food; said food monitoring subsystem, in response to user selection of said food mode symbol, being further operable to generate a food selection display screen identifying a plurality of meal category symbols that allow the user to select a meal category including a breakfast category symbol, a lunch category symbol, and a dinner category symbol; said food monitoring subsystem being further operable to generate a list of said user's favorite foods in response to food-related inputs by said user during food selection for said specific user meal; said food monitoring subsystem being further operable to determine the amount of a nutrient in at least said first food, and to associate one color code of a plurality of color codes with the amount of said nutrient in at least said first food, each of said plurality of color codes being indicative of a range of nutrient amounts in at least said first food; said plurality of color codes varying from a first color code indicative of a range of relatively low amounts of said nutrient, to a second color code indicative of a range of relatively high amounts of said nutrient; and an exercise monitoring subsystem being operatively coupled to said storage subsystem and, in response to user selection of at least one of said exercise-related symbols, being operable to receive exercise-related data from said user, via said user interface, including data identifying a first exercise expected to be performed by said user; said exercise monitoring subsystem being operable to determine the calories expected to be burned by said user upon performing said first exercise, and to store exercise-related information in said storage subsystem relating to said first exercise, including the calories burned by said user and an exercise quantity-related parameter upon said user performing said first exercise, based in part on data from said user; said exercise monitoring subsystem being operable to receive image data from said digital camera relating to said first exercise; said exercise monitoring subsystem being further operable, using said user location data received from said GPS receiver in said hand-held housing, to determine the current location of a motion-related exercise, to generate a visual depiction indicating the user traversing the path defined by said user location data, and to determine user distance traveled and duration traveled during said motion-related exercise; said exercise monitoring subsystem being operable to monitor the pace of a user during a running exercise, and to prompt the user to change the pace of said running exercise in accordance with exercise-related criteria; said exercise monitoring subsystem being further operable to associate each of a plurality of exercise levels with at least one user-selectable exercise, said user-selectable exercise including an associated exercise parameter combination; said plurality of exercise levels including a first exercise level associated with a walking exercise having a first exercise parameter combination, and a second exercise level associated with a running exercise having a second exercise parameter combination; said exercise monitoring subsystem being further operable to receive said step-related data from said pedometer, to determine the number of steps taken by said user during a step-related exercise, and to calculate the distance traveled during said step-related exercise; said processing subsystem being further operable to monitor a user's food consumption and exercise performance, based in part on user input, and to generate a notification to said user via said user interface of progress towards the achievement by said user of at least one daily food-related goal or at least one exercise-related goal; said processing subsystem being further operable to generate a display of a food-related daily goal and data indicative of said user's progress towards meeting said food-related daily goal, and to generate a display of an exercise-related goal and data indicative of said user's progress towards meeting said exercise-related goal; said processing subsystem being further operable to monitor said user's weight over time, and being operable to receive user weight data from said user interface and to store said user weight data in said storage subsystem, said processing subsystem being further operable to generate a weight-related display visually depicting a plurality of instances of said user's weight over time on said touch screen display; said touch screen display being operatively coupled to said processing subsystem to display at least some of said user's favorite foods to aid in food data entry by said user, to display said food-related daily goal and data indicative of said user's progress towards meeting said food-related goal, to display said exercise-related goal and data indicative of said user's progress towards meeting said exercise-related goal, and to display at least one current exercise quantity-related parameter during the user's performance of an exercise.
