Embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
Embodiments of the present invention are described below, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
The following embodiments are exemplary. Although the specification may refer to “an”, “one”, or “some” embodiment(s) in several locations, this does not necessarily mean that each such reference is to the same embodiment(s), or that the feature only applies to a single embodiment. Single features of different embodiments may also be combined to provide other embodiments. Furthermore, words “comprising” and “including” should be understood as not limiting the described embodiments to consist of only those features that have been mentioned and such embodiments may contain also features/structures that have not been specifically mentioned.
In another embodiment, the Bluetooth device carried by the user is a tag without UI. The tag may comprise a memory storing data and a communication circuitry enabling an external reader device to read the data from the memory over a wireless connection between the tag and the reader device.
An example of the measurement device 102 is a pedometer, a foot-pod, a shoe-mounted stride sensor, in general a measurement unit 108 attachable to a lower limb of the user. In these examples, the measurement device 102 may comprise a motion sensor in the form of an accelerometer and/or a gyroscope to measure the user's motion during a physical exercise. The measurement device 102 may also comprise a communication circuitry to transmit and receive signals with another device. The communication circuitry may support Bluetooth communications.
Another example of the measurement device 102 is a heart rate monitor configured to measure the users heart rate and possibly other physiological parameters that can be measured from the user. The heart rate monitor may be based on a wireless heart rate monitoring concept where at least one electrode of the heart rate monitor is attached to the user's chest to measure the user's heart rate and to transmit heart rate information telemetrically to a heart rate receiver. The transmission may be based on Bluetooth communication, for example. The heart rate monitor may also be implemented such that the heart rate is directly measured from the wrist on the basis of pressure or optical measurement, for example. In this case, the heart rate monitor may be integrated in the wrist computer 104. Other ways for measuring the heart rate may also be employed.
Other examples of the measurement device include a positioning device configured to determine the user's geographical location on the basis of a satellite navigation system such as the Global Positioning System (GPS).
An embodiment of the invention relates to defining service profiles in a Bluetooth communication protocol, e.g. Bluetooth SMART, and associated service discovery in which bonded Bluetooth devices negotiate about available service profiles. The service profiles may be understood as application level services that are embedded into signalling information of the Bluetooth radio communication protocol. Thus, they may be advertised and discovered by using the signalling that complies with the Bluetooth specifications.
It should be appreciated that the bonding may in some contexts refer to pairing of two Bluetooth devices.
Referring to
After the service discovery procedure, the service may be started, and request frames and response frames may be transferred with the second Bluetooth device in block 204 during the service, wherein a request frame comprises a command information element specifying how to process personal training data specified by the request frame, and wherein a response frame comprises a response to said command of the request frame. Other frames may be transmitted as well and, in general, a frame comprises an information element specifying personal training data and a command information element specifying how to process the personal training data.
This embodiment configures the Bluetooth devices to carry out the service discovery by using control fields of the Bluetooth communication protocol frames. Additionally, the control fields may be used to transfer commands, instructions, and/or notifications as how to process specified personal training data.
The transfer of the frames in connection with the personal training data service may be carried out in the context where the Bluetooth devices transferring the frames have authenticated each other, and encryption may be applied to the transferred data. State of the art Bluetooth device authentication and encryption techniques may be applied.
The first Bluetooth device may be a server device 120 or a client device 122, depending on whether it provides or receives the service. The server device 120 provides the service and the client device 122 receives the service. The server device 120 may store the personal data of the service, and the client device 122 may acquire the personal data from the server device 120 for temporary use, e.g. for the duration of the physical exercise. The client device 122 may rewrite the personal data, e.g. update personal training data stored in the server device 120 with the most recent data acquired during the physical exercise. In the context of the Bluetooth specifications, the server device 120 may be called a generic attribute profile (GATT) server, and the client device 122 may be called a GATT.
In an embodiment, each personal training data service has a universally unique identifier (UUID). Each personal training data service may comprise a database comprising a plurality of training data items. In an embodiment, each personal training data item has a UUID. Each UUID may be a 16-bit, 32-bit, or 128-bit long code word. 16-bit UUIDs are assigned by the Bluetooth SIG and they uniquely identify standardised data within the Bluetooth ecosystem. In addition to the UUID, each training data item may be referred to with a handle. The handle may be understood as a reference or index to a certain record in the database. The handle may be a 16-bit long code word. The use of the UUID and the handle in connection with each personal training data item is described below with reference to
Referring to
The advertisement frame may be a Bluetooth frame comprising an address of the server device 120 and an UUID of each service being advertised. The advertisement frame may comprise an UUID of at least one personal training data service. Table 1 below provides examples of services different server devices may provide.
The speed/cadence service, heart rate service, and location service may be used to provide training measurement data during a physical exercise and to configure the measurements, a device information service may provide device information on the respective device, a battery service may provide information on battery status of the device. The Bluetooth standard may mandate the Device Information Service to be part of almost all Bluetooth devices.
As described above, each service is associated with an UUID to enable the client devices to explicitly identify each service provided by the server device 120 from the advertisement frame.
In an embodiment, the advertisement frame additionally comprises the UUIDs of the personal training data comprised in each service to enable the client devices to detect what type of data is available for each service. In another embodiment, the UUIDs of the personal training data is provided by the server device 120 in the following service discovery.
Meanwhile, the client device 122 may scan for the advertisement frames transmitted by the server devices in order to detect service advertisements. The client device 122 may scan for potential advertisements continuously at a low duty cycle. The client device 122 may employ a white list comprising as service criteria those services that the client device 122 shall scan for. The white list may be constructed to match with user expectations. For example, a rowing machine may scan for the heart rate service, the user characteristic service, and the training program service but not the speed/cadence service or the location service. A scanning window and a scanning interval may be configured according to user expectations of connection establishment time. A short scanning window and a long scanning interval may cause prolonged connection establishment times.
In an embodiment, the server device 120 may use a Bluetooth's generic access profile (GAP) Undirected Connectable Mode without a white list to allow new client device 122 to establish a connection with the server device 120. In another embodiment, the server device 120 employs the white list such that it allows the connections with only those devices that have been previously bonded with the server device 120, i.e. first-time connections are not allowed.
Upon detecting an advertisement frame comprising a service the client device 122 is scanning for, the client device 122 may be configured to output a notification of a detected service to the user 100 via a user interface of the client device 122. As a use case, let us consider a situation where a user enters the gym and occupies a gym apparatus. Meanwhile, the user's 100 measurement device 102 and/or a training computer 104 may broadcast the advertisement frames detected by the gym apparatus. The gym apparatus may detect the presence of the user by proximity detection and output the list of services it has detected. The proximity detection may be based on a proximity communication between the server device 120 and the client device 122, e.g. a handshake of their near-field communication (NFC) units. The user may then select at least one of the services which triggers bonding between the client device 122 and server device(s) associated with the selected service(s) and the service discovery. Provision of the advertisement enhances the user experience as the server device 120 may be identified by the client device 122 before initiating the connection.
In an embodiment, a name of the server device 120 and/or a name of the owner of the server device 120 (the user's name) is included in the advertisement frames. This enables the client device 122 to greet the user 100 with the user's own name when it detects the presence of the user 100 operating the client device 122. This also enables the user to ensure that the client device 122 has identified the user correctly.
When the bonding has been triggered, either autonomously by the client device 122 or in response to a user input, the client device 122 and the server device 120 may establish a Bluetooth connection between them (302). If the bonding is performed for the first time, the bonding may comprise authentication, negotiation of encryption, and the service discovery, for example. After the first-time bonding, the server device 120 becomes bonded with the client device 122, and the authentication, encryption, and service discovery parameters already negotiated may be assumed in subsequent connection establishments.
The service discovery in step 304 may comprise negotiation of detailed information related to the service(s) provided by the server device 120. The client device 122 may select the service(s) it requests to discover, e.g. those selected by the user, and the discovered services may comprise all the services advertised by the server device 120 or a subset of services advertised by the server device 120. The service discovery of a service may comprise negotiation of the structure of the database associated with the service. The service discovery may comprise negotiation of the UUIDs of the training data items comprised in the service and a handle of each training data item, wherein the handle indicates the location of the training data item in the database of the service. In the service discovery, the client device 122 acquires the handles to be used when addressing each personal training data item in the future.
In an embodiment, the client device 122 filters the discovered training data items. For example, the client device 122 may have a list of training data items it supports, and it may compare the list of training data items comprised in the selected service provided by the server device 120 and select handles of only those training data items it supports. The client device 122 may discard handles of other training data items not supported by the client device 122. In another embodiment, the client device 122 stores the handles of all training data items regardless of whether or not the client device 122 is configured to identify the training data item. In an example of this embodiment, the client device 122 may be configured to process a given training data item even if it cannot identify the contents of the training data item. The client device 122 may then determine as how to process the training data item implicitly from metadata associated with the training data item. For example, the Bluetooth specification allows specification of SI units in connection with a training data item. When the client device 122 detects a training data item having an unsupported UUID but that the training data item is provided in identified SI units, the client device 122 may be configured to display the value of the training data item to the user.
The Bluetooth general access profiles may determine the format of an advertisement frame. The general format of the advertisement frame is illustrated in
The advertisement data field 512 for the personal training data service may comprise information elements shown in Table 2 below.
The Length field indicates the length of the information element, an AD type field 520 indicates that the advertisement is a Bluetooth service advertisement, and an AD data field 522 comprises a universally unique identifier (UUID) allocated to the personal training data service. The UUID identifies uniquely the personal training data service within the Bluetooth eco system.
As described above, if the service discovery has already been made in connection with a previous connection establishment and the client device 122 has already been bonded with the server device 120, the service discovery may be skipped. When the server device 120 that has been bonded with one or more client device 122 is powered on, e.g. it detects user activity, it may be configured to broadcast the advertisement frames to allow bonded client devices to establish a connection with it. The server device 120 may in this respect use the GAP Undirected Connectable Mode with using a white list to allow bonded devices to initiate the connection. If the connection is not established within a determined period of time, e.g. 10 seconds, the server device 120 may clear the whitelist to allow connection to new, non-bonded client devices.
If the server device 120 is not able to reconnect to one or more client devices within a limited time determined by the implementation, it may continue to advertise periodically.
If the server device 120 is bonded with multiple client devices and a connection is established with a subset of bonded client devices, the server device 120 may continue to advertise periodically to provide the other client devices with an opportunity to initiate a new connection.
The server device 120 may disconnect and enter a low power state, e.g. by switching its radio circuitries off, when it detects no activity from the user within a determined period of time defined by the implementation, e.g. 5 minutes.
Upon establishing the Bluetooth connection between the server device 120 and the client device 122, the devices may exchange frames in relation to the discovered service(s). The frame exchange may follow a request-response principle in which the client device 122 transmits request frames and the server device 120 responds to requests defined in the request frames by transmitting response frames. The request frame may comprise a control field carrying out an information element specifying the nature of the request, and the response frame comprises the same field that indicates the response to the request. Let us now consider read and write requests with reference to
As mentioned above, the server device 120 stores the personal training data. The server device 120 may be a permanent storage of the personal training data, and the client device 122 may temporarily read the personal training data comprised in the selected service from the server device 120. The reading of the personal training data may be carried out at the beginning of the physical exercise so as to download user characteristics, training program parameters, etc. from the server device 120 to the client device 122, e.g. the gym apparatus. In 306, the client device 122 transmits a read request frame to the server device 120. In the read request frame, the GATT CMD field 408 may be set to correspond to the read request, and the GATT handle 410 may be set to comprise a handle of the requested training data item. The personal data field 412 may be left empty. Upon receiving the read request frame, the server device 120 extracts the contents of the GATT CMD field 408 and the handle 410 and retrieves the training data item stored in the database at the location indicated by the received handle. Thereafter, the server device 120 forms a read response frame comprising the GATT CMD field 408 set to correspond to the read response, the GATT handle 410 set to comprise the handle of the requested training data item, and the contents of the training data item in the personal data field 412. The server device 120 then transmits the read response frame to the client device 122 (step 308). Upon receiving the read response frame, the client device 122 detects from the contents of the transmitter address field 402 and the GATT CMD field 408 that the frame is the read response to the read request frame transmitted by the server device 120, and the client device 122 thus extracts the personal data item from the read response field and stores the personal data item in its database associated with the service and in the location indicated by the handle.
The procedure of steps 306, 308 may be repeated for each personal training data item supported by the client device 122. Each personal training data item may thus be transmitted in a separate read request read response procedure. The personal training data acquired in this manner at the beginning of the physical exercise may comprise the user characteristics such as the age, weight, gender, heart rate limits, and training program data such as the training schedule. Upon acquiring the necessary training data items from the server device 120, the client device 122 is ready for the physical exercise.
The client device 122 may acquire new training data during the exercise. The new training data may comprise performance data, measurement data measured with at least one sensor comprised in the client device 122, and/or data indicating that the training program has been completed according to the schedule. Such new data may be updated to the server device 120. The update may be triggered by the completion of the physical exercise although it should be appreciated that the update may be carried out during the physical exercise. The update of one or more training data items in the server device 120 may be carried out with a write request write response procedure (steps 310, 312). In 310, the client device 122 determines that a training data item should be written into the database of the server device 120 and, as a consequence, it forms a write request frame and transmits it to the server device 120. In the write request frame, the GATT CMD field 408 may be set to correspond to the write request, and the GATT handle 410 may be set to comprise a handle of the training data item to be rewritten. The personal data field 412 may comprise the contents of the training data item to be updated. Upon receiving the write request frame, the server device 120 extracts the contents of the GATT CMD field 408 and the handle 410 and rewrites the training data item indicated by the received handle with the contents of the personal data field 412. Thereafter, the server device 120 forms a write response frame comprising the GATT CMD field 408 set to correspond to the write response, the GATT handle 410 set to comprise the handle of the rewritten training data item, and the personal data field 412 may be left empty. The server device 120 then transmits the write response frame to the client device 122 to acknowledge the completion of the rewriting (block 312). Upon receiving the write response frame, the client device 122 determines that the rewrite has been successful.
The procedure of steps 310, 312 may be repeated for each personal training data item for which the client device 122 has acquired data during the physical exercise. Each personal training data item may thus be rewritten in a separate write request write response procedure.
In step 314, the client device 122 disconnects from the server device 120.
Let us now consider some embodiments of the personal training data items. Table 3 below shows examples of user characteristics and training programs that may be provided as the personal training data items in one or more personal training data services provided by a training computer 104, 110. The personal training data items may be grouped into one or more services, and each personal training data item may belong to multiple services.
The personal training data service may be a service additional to other Bluetooth services such as the heart rate service, device Information service and an object transfer service to mention a few.
In an embodiment, at least one frame transferred between the Bluetooth devices as a part of a personal training data service comprises an information element carrying a network address of a network server computer storing the user's user account and user's personal training data. For example, the network server computer may operate as a network storage or a backup storage for the user's server device(s), e.g. the training computer. The network address may be used by the Bluetooth device(s) to access the network server computer and the user account in the network server computer. The user may be authenticated or identified at the network server computer by at least some of the constant user parameters listed above, e.g. the e-mail address, received from the Bluetooth device(s).
Let us now consider some use cases of the personal training data services and associated communication.
Stephanie is a motivated runner and loves going to the gym. She trains regularly and likes to measure and analyze her exercises. She recently purchased a fitness application from an online application store for her smartphone, so she can monitor her exercise better. The fitness application may configure the operation of the smartphone as the server device 120, associated personal training data services and the training data items. The configurations of the application may be provided in an extensive markup language (XML). Stephanie usually visits a high tech local gym that has all the latest technology. They are equipped with about 150 different exercise machines to train the whole body and it is a popular gym. They all have Bluetooth and NFC build in. Many of the exercise machines also have streaming audio and she likes to watch music videos while running. It is a pain to setup the stereo headset as it doesn't have NFC. All her training equipment are NFC-enabled and very convenient to use. She starts her exercise program by activating the application on the smartphone which operates as the server device 120. She touches the treadmill with her smartphone (the smartphone with NFC) and, after this proximity detection, they establish a Bluetooth connection. Optionally, the service discovery is carried out. The treadmill operating as the client device 122 reads Stephanie's personal characteristics, e.g. the name, from the smartphone and greets Stephanie with a welcome message. She now has the option to review and change her personal data. If she changes the personal data, the treadmill may instantly update the personal data to the smartphone by using the write procedure. The review of the personal data may comprise a feature where the treadmill prompts to ensure the most recent weight value is registered within the personal data profile. She may edit the personal data by using the user interface of the treadmill or decline. Using the personal data, the treadmill generates a suitable program for her. Stephanie does her exercise and then finishes. At the end of her session Stephanie presses an ‘End session’ button on the treadmill's touchscreen. In response to this input, the treadmill may write any measurement data it acquired during the exercise and/or indication that the exercise has been completed to the smartphone by using the write procedure.
In this use case the personal data on the server device 120 may be read and written to, by the client device 122 with minimal or no user intervention as long as they are within communication range. The server device 120 may take no action on its own but wait for the client device 122 to read and write data. The client device 122 may read data in any order. Before writing the data to the server device 120, the client device 122 may request an authorization from the user via the user interface of the client device 122. It may be possible for the user to move from exercise machine to exercise machine and have always up-to-date data on the server device 120. The client device 122 may erase all local data when the connection has ended.
Nicolas shares his fitness watch/training computer with his wife Cathy. Nicolas goes to a weight training session in the gym on Thursdays and Cathy typically goes to a yoga session on Tuesday. When arriving to the gym, Nicolas starts the session on the training computer. Before starting the exercise session he configures the user of the watch. By changing the user from Cathy to Nicolas, all the machines in the gym will be correctly configured to receive his personal data.
With respect to this use, the server device 120 may comprise multiple user profiles and a database for a personal training data service for each user. The server device 120 may support access to only one person's personal training data items at a time. Accordingly, the server device 120 provides the client device 122 access to training data items of only the currently activated user.
Stephanie has a heart rate sensor providing the personal training data service. She also has a fitness watch/training computer storing personal data that synchronizes automatically with the heart rate sensor. In the gym, she mostly uses her heart rate sensor only, as the sensor can make bonding automatically at a long distance.
Stephanie connects her heart rate sensor to the training computer and synchronizes their training data items by selecting “synchronize personal data” option. In the gym, Stephanie steps onto a treadmill which, after the connection establishment, identifies the user as Stephanie, greets her welcome, and shows her the personal data Stephanie updates her weight and the data is updated in the heart rate sensor. After the exercise, the treadmill may also update the heart rate sensor with the latest training data acquired by sensors of the treadmill, if any.
The following day Stephanie decides to go for a walk. She takes her training computer and heart rate sensor and starts the exercise. The training computer detects that the data in the heart rate sensor has been updated and asks if Stephanie likes to update the personal data of her training computer or replace the personal data in the sensor. Stephanie decides to update her training computer data by providing a corresponding user input. The detection of an updated training data item in the database may force a rereading of all or a subset of other training data items in the database.
