*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18210826 Titled 'HEARTRATE TRACKING TECHNIQUES'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes a technique that involves tracking the motion and physical state of a user wearing a wearable device using sensors. It also involves determining whether an application on the device has been launched. Based on the user's motion, physical state, and application usage, the technique determines an action category for the user. Additionally, the technique collects and categorizes the user's heart rate data based on the determined action category.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An example technique may include tracking motion of a user wearing the wearable device using at least first sensors of one or more sensors of the wearable device. The technique may also include tracking a physical state of the user using at least second sensors of the one or more sensors of the wearable device. The technique may also include determining whether an application of the wearable device has been launched. The technique may also include determining an action category of the user based at least in part on at least one of the motion of the user, the physical state of the user, or whether the application has been launched. The technique may also include collecting heartrate data of the user. The technique may also include categorizing the heartrate data based at least in part on the determined action category.
