Abstract:
Aspects relate to calculating energy expenditure values from an apparatus configured to be worn on an appendage of a user. Steps counts may be quantified, such as by detecting arm swings peaks and bounce peaks in motion data. A search range of acceleration frequencies related to an expected activity may be established. Frequencies of acceleration data within a search range may be analyzed to identify one or more peaks, such as a bounce peak and an arm swing peak. Novel systems and methods may determine whether to utilize the arm swing data, bounce data, and/or other data or portions of data to quantify steps. The number of peaks (and types of peaks) may be used to choose a step frequency and step magnitude. At least a portion of the motion data may be classified into an activity category based upon the quantification of steps.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor perform at least:\n capturing motion data of a user with a sensor worn on an appendage of the user; quantifying steps taken by the user, comprising:\n detecting arm swing instances and bounce instances in the motion data from the sensor worn on the appendage; \n determining whether to utilize the arm swing instances or the bounce instances in the motion data to quantify the steps; and \n using only motion data collected from the sensor worn on the appendage, calculating a step frequency of the user during a time period based on at least one of the utilized arm swing instances or bounce instances in the data; \n calculating an energy expenditure value for the user, based on the calculated step frequency; calculating an energy expenditure points value, based on the calculated energy expenditure value; and adjusting the energy expenditure points value, based on an adjustment criterion.
