First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a display; one or more sensors; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: detecting, via the one or more sensors, activity data for a current physical activity; and in response to detecting the activity data for the current physical activity: in accordance with a determination that the activity data for the current physical activity satisfies activity boundary alert criteria: displaying an activity boundary alert including a first affordance; receiving a first user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance; in response to receiving the first user input:  initiating a physical activity tracking function corresponding to a type of physical activity, wherein the physical activity tracking function corresponds to the activity boundary alert, and wherein the physical activity tracking function corresponding to the activity boundary alert tracks activity data for the current physical activity detected prior to displaying the activity boundary alert; and  displaying a representation of a cumulative metric that corresponds to the current physical activity, wherein at least the activity data for the current physical activity that was detected prior to displaying the activity boundary alert is used to calculate the cumulative metric; and in accordance with a determination that the activity data for the current physical activity does not satisfy the activity boundary alert criteria, forgoing display of the activity boundary alert. 2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors include an accelerometer, GPS sensor, heart rate monitor, clock, gyroscope, a camera, or any combination thereof. 3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: in response to detecting the activity data: in accordance with a determination that the activity data satisfies second activity boundary alert criteria, displaying a second activity boundary alert, wherein the activity boundary alert criteria and the activity boundary alert correspond to a first type of physical activity, and wherein the second activity boundary alert criteria and the second activity boundary alert correspond to a second type of physical activity different from the first type; and in accordance with a determination that the activity data does not satisfy the second activity boundary alert criteria, forgoing display of the second activity boundary alert. 4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is detected before a respective physical activity tracking function is active. 5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity boundary alert corresponds to a first physical activity tracking function, wherein displaying the activity boundary alert includes displaying a second affordance, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: receiving a second user input corresponding to selection of the second affordance in the activity boundary alert; in response to receiving the second user input, displaying a first user interface including: a third affordance corresponding to a second physical activity tracking function different from the first physical activity tracking function; and a fourth affordance corresponding to a third physical activity tracking function different from the first physical activity tracking function; and while displaying the first user interface receiving a third user input: in accordance with the third user input corresponding to selection of the third affordance in the first user interface, configuring the electronic device to track activity data detected after selection of the third affordance using the second physical activity tracking function; and in accordance with the third user input corresponding to selection of the fourth affordance in the first user interface, configuring the electronic device to track activity data detected after selection of the fourth affordance using the third physical activity tracking function. 6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the activity boundary alert includes displaying an animated affordance representing a type of workout associated with the activity boundary alert. 7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein: the activity data was detected via a first sensor of the one or more sensors; and initiating the physical activity tracking function includes detecting second activity data via a second sensor, different from the first sensor, of the one or more sensors. 8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is detected while an existing physical activity tracking function is active. 9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is detected while an existing physical activity tracking function is active, wherein displaying the activity boundary alert includes displaying a fifth affordance, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: receiving a fourth user input corresponding to selection of the fifth affordance; and in response to receiving the fourth user input: ending the existing physical activity tracking function; and storing activity data detected prior to receiving the fourth user input as a previous workout. 10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the activity boundary alert includes displaying a sixth affordance, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: receiving a fifth user input corresponding to selection of the sixth affordance; and in response to receiving the fifth user input, pausing execution of a physical activity tracking function. 11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity boundary alert corresponds to a first physical activity tracking function, wherein displaying the activity boundary alert includes displaying a seventh affordance, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: receiving a sixth user input corresponding to selection of the seventh affordance; in response to receiving the sixth input: initiating a process for ceasing execution of a first physical activity tracking function; and displaying a second user interface, including: an eighth affordance corresponding to a second physical activity tracking function different from the first physical activity tracking function, and a ninth affordance corresponding to a third physical activity tracking function different from the first physical activity tracking function; receiving a seventh user input; in accordance with the seventh user input corresponding to selection of the eighth affordance in the second user interface, initiating the second physical activity tracking function; and in accordance with the seventh user input corresponding to selection of the ninth affordance in the second user interface, initiating the third physical activity tracking function. 12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the activity boundary alert is a first activity boundary alert, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for: after a predetermined time has lapsed without initiating a physical activity tracking function corresponding to the first activity boundary alert, displaying a second activity boundary alert, wherein a physical activity tracking function corresponding to the second activity boundary alert tracks activity data detected prior to displaying the first activity boundary alert. 13.
