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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. 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.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the identification of the type of workout to be performed comprises:
displaying a list of a plurality of types of workouts; and
receiving a selection of the type of workout to be performed from the displayed list of the plurality of types of workouts.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the list of the plurality of types of workouts is ordered based on a frequency of performance of the plurality of workouts.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the list of the plurality of types of workouts is ordered based on a time since a performance of the plurality of workouts.

5. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the list of the plurality of types of workouts comprises a selectable object associated with each type of workout.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein a size of each of the selectable objects is the same.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein a size of a selectable object associated with a most recently performed type of workout is larger than a size of selectable objects associated with other types of workouts of the plurality of types of workouts.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein a size of a selectable object associated with a most frequently performed type of workout is larger than a size of selectable objects associated with other types of workouts of the plurality of types of workouts.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more activity sensors comprises one or more of a GPS sensor, an accelerometer, a directional sensor, a gyroscope, a timer, a biometric sensor, and a motion sensor.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the goal for the type of workout comprises:
displaying an adjustable value associated with the first workout attribute;
receiving a selection of the adjustable value; and
setting the goal value for the first workout attribute to be equal to the adjustable value.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the goal for the type of workout comprises:
displaying a list of a plurality of values associated with the first workout attribute;
receiving a selection of a value of the plurality of values; and
setting the goal value for the first workout attribute to be equal to the selected value of the plurality of values.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the type of workout comprises running, walking, cycling, rowing, yoga, dancing, climbing, swimming, or cross-training.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of workout attributes comprises a duration, a pace, a distance, or a number of Calories expended.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the progress indicator comprises a first portion representing the current value of the first workout attribute and a second portion representing a difference between the current value of the first workout attribute and the goal value for the first workout attribute.

15. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first workout attribute is different than the second workout attribute.

16. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first workout attribute is the same as the second workout attribute.

17. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: displaying a time indicator.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the time indicator represents a current time.

19. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the time indicator represents a duration or a pace associated with the type of workout.

20. The electronic device of claim 17 , further comprising updating the display of the time indicator to represent a time other than the current time in response to receiving a selection of the time indicator.

21. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the progress indicator is displayed in a first color associated with the first workout attribute, and wherein the additional indicator is displayed in a second color associated with the second workout attribute.

22. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: updating the display of the additional indicator to represent a third workout attribute of the plurality of workout attributes in response to receiving a request to change the additional indicator.

23. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: displaying a reference indicator representing a pace associated with a previous workout.

24. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further inc
