Abstract
Techniques for user identification by a biometric monitoring device are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of operating a biometric monitoring device may involve measuring a weight of a user in response to detecting that the user is standing on a platform, determining, based on sensor data generated by a sensor, a user parameter indicative of the user's identification, identifying one of a plurality of user profiles as corresponding to the user based on a comparison of the user parameter to parameter values and a comparison of the measured weight of the user to weight values, and updating the identified user profile based on at least one of the measured weight and the user parameter.
