System and method for estimating movement variables

Abstract:

A fitness tracking system for generating movement variables corresponding to movement of a user includes a monitoring device, a personal electronic device, and a remote processing server. The monitoring device is configured to be worn or carried by the user and includes a movement sensor configured to collect movement data. The personal electronic device is operably connected to the monitoring device. At least one of the personal electronic device and the monitoring device is configured to calculate feature data by applying a set of rules to the movement data, to calculate raw speed data corresponding to a speed of the user from the subset of the movement data, and to calculate raw distance data corresponding to a distance moved by the user from the subset of the movement data. The remote processing server includes a machine learning model for processing at least the feature data.
