Abstract

A system and method for automatically trimming and reclassifying workout data is disclosed. The system receives data associated with a workout of a user from at least one sensor associated with the user, the workout being classified as a first type of workout. The system processes the data to identify at least one time interval during the workout that does not correspond to the first workout type. The system prompts the user to select whether to remove or reclassify a subset of the data that is associated with the identified time interval. If the user chooses to do so, the system removes or reclassifies the subset of the data that is associated with the identified time interval. The system generates and provides workout depictions using the data, at least one of which illustrates only the remaining data that was not removed or reclassified.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of displaying workout data, comprising:
receiving data associated to a workout from a plurality of health parameter monitoring devices each having one or more biometric sensors and each being associated to a user, wherein the data associated to the workout includes first data associated with a first time interval, second data associated with a second time interval following the first time interval, and third data associated with a third time interval following the second time interval;
automatically identifying the second data as a subset of data to be removed from the data associated to the workout to create trimmed data, the trimmed data including both the first data and the third data and excluding the second data;
generating a workout depiction including both the subset of data and the trimmed data, the workout depiction displaying at least one time-series performance metric relating to the workout, the subset of data being highlighted in the workout depiction;
providing the workout depiction to a display device for display thereat; and
enabling the user to select whether to view the workout depiction (i) including both the subset of data and the trimmed data or (ii) including the trimmed data and excluding the subset of data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a visual prompt on the display device via which the user can select whether to remove the subset of the data from the data associated to the workout.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising upon user selection to continue to view the workout depiction including the trimmed data and excluding the subset of the data, storing the trimmed data and omitting to store the subset of data which was removed.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising upon user selection to continue to view the workout depiction including the trimmed data and excluding the subset of the data, storing the subset of data with a label indicating that subset of data is excluded from the workout.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subset of the data to be removed is identified based on a parameter of the data exceeding or falling below a threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subset of the data which are to be removed comprises data collected while the user was warming up and/or cooling down, or comprises other data which is not directly related to the workout.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subset of the data to be removed is identified based at least in part on an identified deviation of the subset of data from an average of the data associated to the workout being above a threshold.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the workout depiction comprises at least one of: a map, chart, graph, and/or a plurality of performance metrics relating to the workout based on the trimmed data.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
displaying a visual prompt on the display device via which the user can select whether to remove the highlighted subset of the data from the data associated to the workout; and
receiving a selection from the user at the visual prompt.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein (i) when the received selection from the user indicates that the highlighted subset of data should not be removed, display the workout depiction including both the subset of data and the trimmed data, and (ii) when the received selection from the user indicates that the highlighted subset of data should be removed including the trimmed data and excluding the subset of data.

11. A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions which are configured to, when executed, cause a processor to:
receive a plurality of data associated to a workout performed by a user, the plurality of data being classified as corresponding to a first type of workout, wherein the data associated to the workout includes first data associated with a first time interval, second data associated with a second time interval following the first time interval, and third data associated with a third time interval following the second time interval;
process the plurality of data to identify that the second data associated with the second time interval does not correspond to the first type of workout;
prompting the user to select whether to reclassify the second data associated with the second time interval;
reclassify the second data as a second type of workout that is different than the first type of workout, in response to the user selecting to reclassify the second data;
generate a first workout depiction including the first data and the third data that remains classified as the first type of workout and excluding the second data that was reclassified as the second type of workout;
provide the first workout depiction to a display device for display to the user; and
provide a selectable icon to the display device that enables the user to select whether to view the first workout depiction (i) including the first data and third data that remains classified as the first type of workout and excluding the second data that was reclassified classified as the second type of workout or (ii) including both the first data and third data that remains classified as the first type of workout and the second data that was reclassified classified as the second type of workout.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of instructions are further configured to, when executed, cause the processor to:
generate a second workout depiction including the second data that was reclassified classified as a second type of workout and excluding the first data and second data that remains classified as the first type of workout; and
provide the second workout depiction to a display device for display to the user.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein:
the processor comprises a processor of a user device;
the user device further comprises the display device configured to provide the display of the first workout depiction and enable user interaction; and
the plurality of data is received from a plurality of health parameter monitoring devices having one or more biometric sensors associated therewith.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first workout depiction comprise at least one of: a map, chart, and/or graph.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of instructions are further configured to, when executed, cause the processor to:
provide the first workout depiction to a web server for publication thereof to a social network.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the subset of the plurality of data is identified by:
a technique to automatically identify whether a parameter of the second data exceeds or falls below a threshold; or
a technique to automatically identify whether a deviation of the subset of second data from an average of the data is above a threshold.

17. An apparatus for workout editing, the apparatus comprising:
a transceiver apparatus configured to enable communication with at least one health parameter monitoring apparatus;
a user interface configured to provide an interactive display to a user;
a storage entity; and
a processor configured to communicate to the storage entity and the at least one interface, the processor configured to execute at least one health-monitoring application output selector program thereon, the health-monitoring application output selector program comprising a plurality of instructions which are configured to, when executed by the
