The present application claims the benefit of and is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/205,408, filed on Sep. 5, 2008, which is a non-provisional of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/970,773, filed on Sep. 7, 2007, which application is incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.
As depicted in FIGS. 6-12, the wearable device 16 generally includes a housing 20 and a controller 21 that is contained by the housing 20. General components and functional capabilities of the controller 21 will be described in greater detail below. The housing 20 has a first end 22, a second end 24, a first side 26, a second side 28, a front side 30, and a back side 32.
The wristband 18 in this embodiment also has slightly different structure. The central portion has a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion. A first end of a strap is passed through the first receiving portion and fastened to itself in a loop configuration. A second end of the strap is passed through the second receiving portion and folded onto itself The strap may be provided with hook and loop fasteners on appropriate sides of the strap providing suitable structure for fastening the strap around a wrist of a user. As previously discussed, the protrusion/aperture structure on the device 16 and wristband 18 can be reversed if desired such as shown in FIG. 39 a wherein the protrusion 38 is located on the wristband 18 and the aperture 40 is located on the device 16. Thus, the male/female cooperative structure between the device 16 and the wristband 18 can be reversed if desired. This interchangeability of the male/female cooperative structure also applies to the other embodiments of the application. The functionality of the wearable device assembly in FIGS. 37-46 is the same as previously described with respect to the wearable device assembly of FIGS. 2-16.
a wristband having a central portion between a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion having a pair of holes and the second end portion having a plurality of holes, the central portion having an aperture and a sleeve with an opening; and
a data transfer module having a housing, a protrusion, and a data connector operably connected to a controller positioned within the housing, the controller configured to communicate athletic performance data received from the sensor, wherein the athletic performance data includes time, speed, and distance, the housing having a first member and a second member, wherein the protrusion is protruding from the second member, the housing further having a first push button operably associated with the controller and a second push button operably associated with the controller, wherein the first member is connected to the second member by an epoxy member positioned between a periphery of the members, and further wherein the second member has a plurality of leads embedded in plastic at one end defining the data connector, the leads in operable communication with the controller,
wherein the data transfer module is connected to the wristband wherein the protrusion is received by the aperture and the data connector is received by the sleeve through the opening.
2. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the controller records and monitors athletic performance data.
3. The wearable assembly of claim 2 where in response to plugging the data connector into the computer, data stored on the data transfer module is automatically uploaded to a remote website for display.
4. The wearable assembly of claim 1 further including a removable closure having a plate member and a pair of posts extending from the plate member, wherein the pair of posts is received in the pair of holes of the first end portion and further received in respective holes of the plurality of holes of the second portion to fasten the first end portion with the second end portion.
5. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the sleeve encompasses the data connector and is positioned proximate that central portion of the wristband.
6. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the aperture is positioned proximate the central portion of the wristband.
7. The wearable assembly of claim 1 further including a display in communication with the controller.
8. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the first push button adapted to cooperate with a first input of the controller.
9. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the first push button is integral with the housing, providing a sealed structure of the housing around the first push button of the housing.
10. The wearable assembly of claim 1 wherein the second member has a peripheral groove, wherein the first member is connected to the second member by the epoxy member positioned in the groove.
