DESC:INTELLIGENT MULTI-TRACKER BELT DEVICE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments are generally related to the field of accessories and more particular to leather accessories. Embodiments are further related to /location activity tracking and monitoring devices. Embodiments are additionally related to physical activity and location tracking devices. Embodiments are more particularly related to an intelligent multi-tracker belt device for tracking and monitoring more than one parameter with respect to a user.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] With the growing population across the world, people live at higher risk in a complicated way than those living in the past. Therefore, they need a lot more security. Accordingly, various tracking systems have been developed in order to guarantee the security of the individuals, or the objects such as personal belongings etc. Most of these tracking systems operate based on GPS (Global Positioning System) wherein such systems enable the positions of GPS receivers positioned in living things/objects to be detected in accordance with the signals received from the satellites.
[0003] With the advancement in communication systems, position detection devices having different properties and designs are introduced. However, such prior art devices are subsequently installed in living things or objects and they can be easily recognized when viewed from the outside. However, tracking must be performed in a secret manner in many cases where tracking is involved. In cases of children, patients, old people, or pets are wanted to be kept under continuous observation for security reasons, secrecy is a must in order to prevent the device to be accidentally displaced by the one carrying it, and also to prevent ill-intentioned people from displacing the device by recognizing it. In majority of prior art solutions, these devices are either subsequently installed in the objects, or carried in purses, pockets, wallets, etc. Hence, this precaution taken for providing security fails to achieve its purpose; moreover, the money spent on these systems is wasted.
[0004] In another embodiment of the prior art, exercise and physical activity trackers are becoming increasingly popular. The prior art physical activity trackers are only able to provide a limited tracking possibilities to the user based on their movement/steps etc. In a typical day activity, activities performed by the users are not appropriately tracked and quantified. Further, advanced testing often requires the use of expensive, specialized equipment that is unfamiliar to the user. The problem can be compounded when exercises are performed that utilize traditionally non-quantifiable objects and other physical activities like bending, sitting, pull-ups etc. Thus, a need exists for an activity tracking system that can quantify physical activity parameters for a variety of conventional activities.
[0005] There is an additional need to assist athletes and persons undergoing physical therapy (e.g., patients) in maintaining proper form during physical activities (e.g., exercise) to prevent injuries. For example, supervision of athletes and patients by a coach, personal trainer, or physical therapist, is not always practical, and can be expensive. Therefore, a need exists for a low-cost monitoring system that can automatically prescribe recommendations to athletes or patients, or allow for remote supervision and analysis by a coach, personal trainer, or physical therapist.
[0006] Based on the foregoing a need therefore exists for a multi-purpose tracking and monitoring device that can be concealed into a belt. A need also exists for an improved intelligent multi-tracker belt device for tracking and monitoring more than one parameter with respect to a user, as described in greater detail herein.
