Abstract

Athletic performance monitoring and tracking may provide multiple ways in which to track athletic movement and activity. Workouts may also be tagged with various parameters including mood, weather, terrain, athletic equipment, friends used and the like. Workout information may be shared to social messaging and networking outlets. Workout information shared may include map information including images of maps, interactive maps, links to maps, route information and the like and/or combinations thereof. Additionally or alternatively, an application may be configured to execute within a context of a social networking system to facilitate athletic activity data transfer and generation of workout entries in the social networking site.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

a processor;
a sensor;
and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
collect, using the sensor, data corresponding to a first athletic activity performed by a user;
determine, from the collected data, a plurality of metrics performed by the user;
determine an accumulated total of a first metric of the plurality of metrics performed by the user, wherein the accumulated total of the first metric comprises a sum of the first metric performed by the user;
determine whether the accumulated total of the first metric is within a user-specific range of a predetermined threshold associated with a performance level, wherein the user-specific range comprises an average of the first metric performed by the user over a period of time;
in response to determining that the accumulated total of the first metric is within the user-specific range of the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level, generate a first user display comprising:
a message indicating a metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level, and
a selectable icon indicating the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level;
in response to receiving a selection of the selectable icon indicating the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level, generate a second user display comprising a scheduler for scheduling performance of a second athletic activity to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level;
automatically schedule the second athletic activity by populating the scheduler with the metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level;
collect additional data corresponding to the second athletic activity;
update, based on the collected additional data, the accumulated total of the first metric and determine whether the accumulated total of the first metric has met the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level;
and
in response to determining that the accumulated total of the first metric has met the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level, generate a third user display indicating that the user has met the predetermined threshold associated with the performance level.

14 more elements

A method for determining an athletic activity performance of a user comprising:

collecting, using a sensor, data corresponding to an athletic activity performed by a user;
displaying a representation of an athletic activity performance of the user including a first icon indicative of a first performance level of the user;
determining, from the collected data, a plurality of performance metrics performed by the user;
determining, based on the plurality of performance metrics performed by the user, an accumulated total of a first performance metric for the user, wherein the accumulated total comprises a sum of the first performance metric for the user;
determining whether the accumulated total of the first performance metric is within a user-specific range of a predetermined threshold of a second performance level, wherein the user-specific range comprises an average of the first performance metric for the user over a period of time;
in response to determining that the accumulated total of the first performance metric is within the user-specific range of the predetermined threshold of the second performance level, generating a first user display comprising:
a message indicating that the user is within the user-specific range of the predetermined threshold of the second performance level and indicating a metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold of the second performance level, and
a selectable second icon indicating the predetermined threshold of the second performance level;
in response to receiving a selection of the selectable second icon indicating the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, generating a second user display comprising a scheduler for scheduling performance of a second athletic activity to reach the predetermined threshold of the second performance level;
automatically scheduling the second athletic activity by populating the scheduler with the metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold of the second performance level;
updating, based on collecting additional data corresponding to the second athletic activity, the accumulated total of the first performance metric;
and
in response to determining that the accumulated total of the first performance metric has met the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, generating a third user display indicating that the user has met the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level.

10 more elements

An apparatus comprising:

a processor;
a sensor;
a display panel;
and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
generate, on the display panel, an indication of a current performance level of a user based on an accumulated first performance metric of a plurality of performance metrics;
determine whether the accumulated first performance metric is within a user-specific range of a predetermined threshold associated with a second performance level, wherein the user-specific range comprises an average of a first performance metric performed by the user over a period of time;
in response to determining that the first accumulated performance metric is within the user-specific range of the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, generate a first user display comprising:
a message indicating a performance metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, wherein the second performance level is associated with a higher accumulated first performance metric than the current performance level, and
a selectable icon indicating the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level;
in response to receiving a selection of the selectable icon indicating the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, generate a second user display comprising a scheduler for scheduling performance of a second athletic activity to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level;
automatically schedule the second athletic activity by populating the scheduler with the metric necessary to reach the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level;
collect, using the sensor, data corresponding to the second athletic activity;
determine, from the collected data, the plurality of performance metrics performed by the user;
update, based on the plurality of performance metrics performed by the user, the accumulated first performance metric;
determine whether the accumulated first performance metric exceeds the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level;
in response to determining that the accumulated first performance metric exceeds the predetermined threshold associated with the second performance level, generate, on the display panel, an indication that the user has reached the second performance level.
