Abstract
Improved techniques and systems for utilizing a portable electronic device to monitor, process, present and manage data captured by a remote sensor during a physical activity session are disclosed. The portable electronic device offers a convenient user interface that can be visual and/or audio based customized to a particular application, user-friendly and/or dynamic. The portable electronic device can pertain to a personal media device and thus also provide media playback.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors of a mobile device, ambient activity data from one or more sensors of the mobile device;
- generating, by the one or more processors, an ambient activity profile from the received ambient activity data;
- comparing, by the one or more processors, the generated ambient activity profile with recognized ambient activity profiles;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that at least one recognized ambient activity profile matches the generated ambient activity profile to within a degree of match or correlation, and responsive to the match:
- tagging, by the one or more processors, the generated ambient activity profile as recognized;
- associating, by the one or more processors, a template corresponding to a recognized activity with the tagged ambient activity profile;
- and
- initiating or ending an activity session on the device based on the template.
A system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- one or more processors;
- memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving ambient activity data from the one or more sensors;
- generating an ambient activity profile from the received ambient activity data;
- comparing the generated ambient activity profile with recognized ambient activity profiles;
- determining that at least one recognized ambient activity profile matches the generated ambient activity profile to within a degree of match or correlation, and responsive to the match:
- tagging the generated ambient activity profile as recognized;
- and
- associating a template corresponding to a recognized activity with the tagged ambient activity profile;
- and
- initiating or ending an activity session on a device based on the template.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving ambient activity data from one or more sensors;
- generating an ambient activity profile from the received ambient activity data;
- comparing the generated ambient activity profile with recognized ambient activity profiles;
- determining that at least one recognized ambient activity profile matches the generated ambient activity profile to within a degree of match or correlation, and responsive to the match:
- tagging the generated ambient activity profile as recognized;
- associating a template corresponding to a recognized activity with the tagged ambient activity profile;
- and
- initiating or ending an activity session on a device based on the template.
