Patent ID: 8747312

Claim:
A biometric monitoring system comprising: a) a biometric monitoring device to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring device including: a first housing including a platform configured to receive at least one foot of the user and capable of supporting the body weight of the user; a body weight sensor, mechanically coupled to the platform, to generate body weight data that is representative of the weight of the user; first processing circuitry, disposed in the first housing and coupled to the body weight sensor, to calculate user weight data that corresponds to the weight of the user using the body weight data; and first communication circuitry, physically coupled to the first housing, to: receive user identification data, wherein the user identification data identifies the user or a portable activity monitoring device wirelessly receive activity data directly from the portable activity monitoring device, and transmit the user weight data to data storage that is associated with the user identification data; and b) the portable activity monitoring device, the portable activity monitoring device including: a second housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the body of the user; a sensor, disposed in the second housing, to generate sensor data that is representative of activity of the user; second communication circuitry to receive physiologic data, wherein the physiologic data is based on the user weight data; and second processing circuitry, coupled to the sensor and the second communication circuitry, to calculate the activity data using the sensor data and the physiologic data.
