Abstract

A method includes causing display, during a first time period and via a first set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the first set of multiple smart mirrors, without displaying a workout video. The method also includes causing display, during a second time period following and mutually exclusive of the first time period, and via a second set of multiple smart mirrors, of a workout video and a representation of at least one user associated with the second set of smart mirrors. The method also includes causing display, during a third time period following and mutually exclusive of the second time period, and via a third set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the third set of multiple smart mirrors.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory operably coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
host a workout session including (1) presentation of a workout video during a first time period, and (2) presentation of a simulated locker room during a second time period following the first time period and mutually exclusive of the first time period, the hosting including:
causing display, during the first time period and via each smart mirror from a first subset of at least two smart mirrors from a networked plurality of smart mirrors, of (1) a workout video including a depiction of a workout instructor, and (2) a representation of at least one user from a first plurality of users associated with the first subset of smart mirrors; and
causing display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from a second subset of at least two smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user from a second plurality of users associated with the second subset of smart mirrors and without causing display of a workout video including a depiction of a workout instructor.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second subset of smart mirrors is configured such that users from the second plurality of users can communicate with one another during the first time period via at least one of: voice, video, text, emojis, animation, or imagery.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from the second subset of smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of at least one user-selected background.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one user-selected background includes a depiction of at least one product for promotion.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from the second subset of smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of at least one background, the at least one background automatically selected by a software application associated with the second subset of smart mirrors.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one background includes a depiction of an interior of a locker room.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to modify an appearance of the live video during the second time period, in response to detecting that one of the users from the first plurality of users is speaking.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of users and the second plurality of users have at least one user in common.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to modify an appearance of a representation of a user from at least one of the first plurality of users or the second plurality of users in response to a detected biometric parameter associated with that user.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the at least one user from the first plurality of users associated with the first subset of smart mirrors is a non-video representation of that at least one user.

11. A non-transitory, processor-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions to:
host a workout session including (1) presentation of a workout video during a first time period, and (2) presentation of a simulated locker room during a second time period following the first time period and mutually exclusive of the first time period, the hosting including:
causing display, during the first time period and via each smart mirror from a first subset of at least two smart mirrors from a networked plurality of smart mirrors, of (1) a workout video including a depiction of a workout instructor, and (2) a representation of at least one user from a first plurality of users associated with the first subset of smart mirrors; and
causing display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from a second subset of at least two smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user from a second plurality of users associated with the second subset of smart mirrors and without causing display of a workout video including a depiction of a workout instructor.

12. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the second subset of smart mirrors is configured such that users from the second plurality of users can communicate with one another during the first time period via at least one of: voice, video, text, emojis, animation, or imagery.

13. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from the second subset of smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of at least one user-selected background.

14. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user-selected background includes a depiction of at least one product for promotion.

15. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause display, during the second time period and via each smart mirror from the second subset of smart mirrors from the networked plurality of smart mirrors, of at least one background, the at least one background automatically selected by a software application associated with the second subset of smart mirrors.

16. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one background includes a depiction of an interior of a locker room.

17. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to modify an appearance of the live video during the second time period, in response to detecting that one of the users from the first plurality of users is speaking.

18. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first plurality of users and the second plurality of users have at least one user in common.

19. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to modify an appearance of a representation of a user from at least one of the first plurality of users or the second plurality of users in response to a detected biometric parameter associated with that user.

20. The non-transitory, processor-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the representation of the at least one user from the first plurality of users associated with the first subset of smart mirrors is a non-video representation of that at least one user.
