Abstract

Pacer activity data of a user may be managed. For example, historical activity data of a user corresponding to a particular time of a day prior to a current day may be received. Additionally, a user interface configured to display an activity goal of the user may be generated and the user interface may be provided for presentation. In some aspects, the user interface may be configured to display a first indicator that identifies cumulative progress towards the activity goal and a second indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal. The cumulative progress may be calculated based on monitored activity from a start of the current day to the particular time of the current day and the predicted cumulative progress may be calculated based on the received historical activity data corresponding to the particular time of the day prior to the current day.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device, historical activity data of a user from a second computing device configured to collect the historical activity data;
providing, by the first computing device, the received historical activity data to a service provider configured to determine a predicted amount of activity data for an interval of time of the user;
receiving, from the service provider, the predicted amount of activity data for an identified interval of time;
receiving, by the first computing device, current activity data of the user collected by the second computing device during a current interval of time that corresponds to the identified interval of time;
identifying an activity goal of the user; and
providing, to the second computing device, information for configuring a user interface of the second computing device to present the activity goal, the current activity data for the current interval, the predicted amount of activity data for the current interval, and a pace indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal, wherein the pace indicator moves on the user interface as the predicted amount of activity of the user changes for the current interval.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface of the second computing device is configured to present a first graphical representation of the current activity data and the predicted amount of activity data overlaid on a second graphical representation of the activity goal.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first graphical representation is configured to present the current activity data adjacent to the predicted amount of activity data.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the current interval comprises an hour of a day in which the current activity data is detected.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the historical activity data comprises calories burned by the user, heart beats of the user, steps walked by the user, distance traveled by the user, or minutes exercised by the user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the activity goal of the user is configured by the user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the current activity data of the user is collected by a third computing device during the current interval of time that corresponds to the identified interval of time.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device, historical activity data of a user from a second computing device configured to collect the historical activity data;
providing, by the first computing device, the received historical activity data to a service provider configured to determine a predicted amount of activity data for an interval of time of the user;
receiving, from the service provider, the predicted amount of activity data for an identified interval of time;
receiving, by the first computing device, current activity data of the user collected by the second computing device during a current interval of time that corresponds to the identified interval of time;
identifying an activity goal of the user; and
providing, to the second computing device, information for configuring a user interface of the second computing device to present the activity goal, the current activity data for the current interval, the predicted amount of activity data for the current interval, and a pace indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal, wherein the pace indicator moves on the user interface as the predicted amount of activity of the user changes for the current interval.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the user interface of the second computing device is configured to present a first graphical representation of the current activity data and the predicted amount of activity data overlaid on a second graphical representation of the activity goal.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first graphical representation is configured to present the current activity data adjacent to the predicted amount of activity data.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the current interval comprises an hour of a day in which the current activity data is detected.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the historical activity data comprises calories burned by the user, heart beats of the user, steps walked by the user, distance traveled by the user, or minutes exercised by the user.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the activity goal of the user is configured by the user.

14. A system, comprising:
a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and
a processor in communication with the memory configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
receive, by a first computing device, historical activity data of a user from a second computing device configured to collect the historical activity data;
provide, by the first computing device, the received historical activity data to a service provider configured to determine a predicted amount of activity data for an interval of time of the user;
receive, from the service provider, the predicted amount of activity data for an identified interval of time;
receive, by the first computing device, current activity data of the user collected by the second computing device during a current interval of time that corresponds to the identified interval of time;
identify an activity goal of the user; and
provide, to the second computing device, information for configuring a user interface of the second computing device to present the activity goal, the current activity data for the current interval, the predicted activity data for the current interval, and a pace indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal, wherein the pace indicator moves on the user interface as the predicted amount of activity of the user changes for the current interval.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the user interface of the second computing device is configured to present a first graphical representation of the current activity data and the predicted amount of activity data overlaid on a second graphical representation of the activity goal.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first graphical representation is configured to present the current activity data adjacent to the predicted amount of activity data.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the current interval comprises an hour of a day in which the current activity data is detected.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the historical activity data comprises calories burned by the user, heart beats of the user, steps walked by the user, distance traveled by the user, or minutes exercised by the user.

19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the activity goal of the user is configured by the user.

20. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a third computing device configured to collect the current activity data of the user during the current interval of time that corresponds to the identified interval of time.
