Abstract

A method of monitoring a user's activity and rewarding the monitored activity. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of detecting motion of a user supported device; summing the motion; transmitting summed device motion to a reward center; and providing a reward to the user based on the summed device motion without comparing the device motion to a predefined kind of motion stored within the device.
