Methods and systems for interactive goal setting and recommender using events having combined activity and location information

A method for generating recommendations for achieving goals, comprising,

• receiving a goal for a user account, the goal being associated with an activity that is trackable via a monitoring device;
• obtaining tracking data associated with the monitoring device, at least part of the tracking data is associated to the activity;
• obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device, the geo-location data being correlated to the tracking data;
• analyzing the received tracking data and geo-location data to characterize a current performance metric for the activity;
• and
• generating a recommendation for the user account, the recommendation identifying the current performance metric and a suggested action and location for increasing the current performance metric to achieve the goal.

A method comprising:

• receiving a goal associated with a first activity of a user and a first location of a monitoring device, the first activity performed when the user is using the monitoring device, the first location determined when the user is using the monitoring device;
• determining whether a milestone to achieve the goal is reached, wherein determining whether the milestone is reached is based on an amount of the first activity performed by the user over a period of time;
• and
• recommending a second location to be visited by the user and an amount of a second activity to be performed by the user at the second location to achieve the milestone upon determining that the milestone will not be reached, the method being executed by a processor.

A method comprising:

• receiving a goal associated with a first activity of a user and a first location of a monitoring device, the first activity performed when the user is using the monitoring device, the first location determined when the user is using the monitoring device;
• determining whether the goal has a reduced likelihood of being completed, wherein determining whether the goal has the reduced likelihood is based on an amount of the first activity performed by the user;
• and
• recommending a second location to be visited by the user to achieve the goal upon determining that the goal has the reduced likelihood of being completed.
