Abstract

Example embodiments may relate to a system, method, apparatus, and computer readable media configured for monitoring a user performing various athletic movements and generating performance characteristics based on the data corresponding to such athletic movements. Users may also be encouraged to participate in athletic challenges or competitions against other users or groups of users. In addition, athletic movement data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, input indicating a skateboard activity challenge and one or more performance thresholds;
receiving, by the computing device, a first set of activity data corresponding to performance of a first skateboard trick by a first user;
determining, based on the first set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick;
after determining that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick, sending the skateboard activity challenge to a second computing device associated with a second user;
receiving, by the computing device, a second set of activity data corresponding to performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user; and
outputting, based on the second set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, an indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein outputting the indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick further comprises:
comparing a performance metric of the second set of activity data with the one or more performance thresholds.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performance metric comprises one of a speed, an acceleration, a location, a height, or a rotational force excreted on a skateboard.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performance metric comprises one of a speed, an acceleration, a location, or a height of a user.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein outputting the indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick further comprises:
determining, based on the first set of activity data, a first performance threshold; and
determining, by the computing device, that the performance metric satisfies the first performance threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
adjusting, by the computing device and based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, the skateboard activity challenge to include one or more skateboard tricks.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the computing device, a venue associated with a location of the first user; and
determining, based in part on the determined venue, the skateboard activity challenge.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
after determining that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick, outputting, to a display device, one or more performance metrics for the first user.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the computing device and based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, a product recommendation for the second user.

10. An apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
receiving input indicating a skateboard activity challenge and one or more performance thresholds;
receiving a first set of activity data corresponding to performance of a first skateboard trick by a first user;
determining, based on the first set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick;
after determining that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick, sending the skateboard activity challenge to a second computing device associated with a second user;
receiving a second set of activity data corresponding to performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user; and
outputting, based on the second set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, an indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to output the indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick by:
comparing a performance metric of the second set of activity data with the one or more performance thresholds.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the performance metric comprises one of a speed, an acceleration, a location, a height, or a rotational force excreted on a skateboard.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to output the indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick by:
determining, based on the first set of activity data, a first performance threshold; and
determining that the performance metric satisfies the first performance threshold.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
adjust, based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, the skateboard activity challenge to include one or more skateboard tricks.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
determine a venue associated with a location of the first user; and
determine, based in part on the determined venue, the skateboard activity challenge.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
determine, based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, a product recommendation for the second user.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus at least to perform:
receiving input indicating a skateboard activity challenge and one or more performance thresholds;
receiving a first set of activity data corresponding to performance of a first skateboard trick by a first user;
determining, based on the first set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick;
after determining that the first user successfully performed the first skateboard trick, sending the skateboard activity challenge to a second computing device associated with a second user;
receiving a second set of activity data corresponding to performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user; and
outputting, based on the second set of activity data and the one or more performance thresholds, an indication of whether the second user successfully performed the first skateboard trick.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
determine, based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, a product recommendation for the second user.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
adjust, based on the performance of the first skateboard trick by the second user, the skateboard activity challenge to include one or more skateboard tricks.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to output the indication of wheth
