Abstract

The present disclosure relates to devices and processes for monitoring attributes of a user's physical activity (e.g., workout) or inactivity, and to user interfaces (e.g., an activity indicator) for displaying the same. In some examples, a device determines whether physical activity corresponds to a first type based on a first set of criteria, and whether physical activity corresponds to a second type based on a second set of criteria. In some examples, the device controls an inactivity timer that measures user's inactivity. In some examples, the device displays a first visual representation of an attribute or amount of a first type of physical activity, and a second visual representation of an attribute or amount of a second type. In some examples, the device displays a third visual representation of an attribute or amount of a third type of activity. In some examples, the third visual representation corresponds to user's inactivity.

Claims33

Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;
a memory;
and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving an identification of a type of workout to be performed, wherein the type of workout is associated with a plurality of workout attributes;
receiving a goal for the type of workout, wherein the goal comprises an identification of a first workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes and a goal value for the first workout attribute;
receiving user input representing an instruction to begin a workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
initiating the workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
displaying a workout interface for the selected workout, wherein displaying the workout interface comprises:
determining a current value of the first workout attribute and a current value of a second workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes based on activity data from one or more activity sensors;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute does not exceed the goal value, displaying a progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to a minimum value for the first workout attribute;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value, displaying the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to the goal value for the first workout attribute, wherein a position of the goal value for the first workout attribute is contiguous with a position of the minimum value for the first workout attribute, and wherein the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute visually overlaps itself at the position of the goal value based on the determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value;
and
displaying an additional indicator representative of the current value of the second workout attribute,
during the workout session:
receiving updated activity data from the at least a portion of the one or more activity sensors;
updating the current value of the first workout attribute and the current value of the second workout attribute based on the updated activity data;
and
updating the display of the progress indicator based on the updated current value of the first workout attribute relative to the goal value for the first workout attribute, and
updating the display of the additional indicator based on the updated current value of the second workout attribute.

20 more elements

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving an identification of a type of workout to be performed, wherein the type of workout is associated with a plurality of workout attributes;
receiving a goal for the type of workout, wherein the goal comprises an identification of a first workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes and a goal value for the first workout attribute;
receiving user input representing an instruction to begin a workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
initiating the workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
displaying a workout interface for the selected workout, wherein displaying the workout interface comprises:
determining a current value of the first workout attribute and a current value of a second workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes based on activity data from one or more activity sensors;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute does not exceed the goal value, displaying a progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to a minimum value for the first workout attribute;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value, displaying the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to the goal value for the first workout attribute, wherein a position of the goal value for the first workout attribute is contiguous with a position of the minimum value for the first workout attribute, and wherein the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute visually overlaps itself at the position of the goal value based on the determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value;
and
displaying an additional indicator representative of the current value of the second workout attribute,
during the workout session:
receiving updated activity data from the at least a portion of the one or more activity sensors;
updating the current value of the first workout attribute and the current value of the second workout attribute based on the updated activity data;
and
updating the display of the progress indicator based on the updated current value of the first workout attribute relative to the goal value for the first workout attribute, and
updating the display of the additional indicator based on the updated current value of the second workout attribute.

receiving a goal for the type of workout, wherein the goal comprises an identification of a first workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes and a goal value for the first workout attribute;
receiving user input representing an instruction to begin a workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
initiating the workout session for the selected type of workout;
and
displaying a workout interface for the selected workout, wherein displaying the workout interface comprises:
determining a current value of the first workout attribute and a current value of a second workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes based on activity data from one or more activity sensors;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute does not exceed the goal value, displaying a progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to a minimum value for the first workout attribute;
in accordance with a determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value, displaying the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute relative to the goal value for the first workout attribute, wherein a position of the goal value for the first workout attribute is contiguous with a position of the minimum value for the first workout attribute, and wherein the progress indicator representative of the current value of the first workout attribute visually overlaps itself at the position of the goal value based on the determination that the current value of the first workout attribute exceeds the goal value;
and
displaying an additional indicator representative of the current value of the second workout attribute,
during the workout session:
receiving updated activity data from the at least a portion of the one or more activity sensors;
