ABSTRACT:
A system and method measures a parameter of body fat using body fat monitoring circuitry provided with a mobile communications device or device cover. A mobile terminal device includes a housing supporting a display, a processor, and a user interface for facilitating user interaction with the mobile terminal device. Body fat monitoring circuitry of the mobile terminal device includes a tactile interface supported by one or both of the housing and a cover of the housing. The monitoring circuitry communicates monitoring signals to a portion of a user's body via the tactile interface. The processor computes a resistance to the communication of the monitoring signals and computes the user's body fat parameter using the computed resistance. An acceleration sensor may be included to provide various pedometer functions.
