Apple patent details iWatch-enabled weight training tracker

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple on Tuesday was granted a patent for a
weightlifting tracking system that uses a standalone sensor to transmit
metrics to a remote display, which in some cases include a wristwatch,"
Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider.
"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple U.S. Patent No.
8,749,380 for a 'Shoe wear-out sensor, body-bar sensing system, unitless
activity assessment and associated methods' is actually a continuation
of multiple patents describing a fitness-related patent ecosystem,"
Campbell reports. "As granted, the patent covers a system in which a
sensor-laden device attaches itself to a weightlifting bar and counts
and displays repetitions. Unique to Apple's invention is the inclusion
of a watch for remote readings, possibly hinting at a future or intended
use case scenario for the company's much-rumored iWatch."
"Apple has yet to announce an iWatch, though many expect the tech giant
to introduce a wearable device of some kind later this year. With the
new HealthKit framework and corresponding Health app for iOS 8, which
can collect raw data from external devices, Apple is making a push into
fitness and health-tracking devices," Campbell reports. "As for its own
hardware, the latest rumors point to a form-fitting wristwatch device
with curved OLED screen."
