Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces and techniques for monitoring fitness activity. In accordance with some embodiments, user interfaces and techniques for transitioning between a user interface mode for measuring an activity metric to a user interface mode for measuring a different activity, based on detecting that a user characteristic has changed, are described. In accordance with some embodiments, user interfaces and techniques for measuring activity data and providing activity commentary in response to activity-based events, where different activity commentary is provided based on a characteristic of a user, are described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display device;
a first set of 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:
while the electronic device is operating in a first device mode, detecting a change in a first user physical characteristic from a first physical characteristic value to a second physical characteristic value;
in response to detecting the change in the first user physical characteristic:
in accordance with a determination that the second physical characteristic value satisfies a set of mode change criteria, initiating a process to transition from the first device mode to a second device mode; and
in accordance with a determination that the second physical characteristic value does not satisfy a set of mode change criteria, remaining in the first device mode;

while the electronic device is operating in the first device mode:
receiving first user activity data from the first set of sensors;

subsequent to receiving the first user activity data, displaying a first activity user interface that includes a first activity metric based on the user activity data received from the first set of sensors, wherein the first activity metric is associated with a first application of the electronic device, and wherein the first activity user interface does not include a second activity metric, different from the first activity metric; and
while the electronic device is operating in the second device mode:
receiving second user activity data from the first set of sensors; and
subsequent to receiving the second user activity data, displaying a second activity user interface that includes a second activity metric, different from the first activity metric, based on the user activity data received from the first set of sensors, wherein the second activity metric is associated with the first application of the electronic device, and wherein the second activity user interface does not include the first activity metric.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the first user physical characteristic is an age of a user associated with the electronic device;
the first physical characteristic value is a first age value; and
the second physical characteristic is a second age value, greater than the first age value.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein initiating the process to transition from the first device mode the second device mode includes:
displaying a first confirmation user interface that includes a first confirmation affordance;
receiving an input corresponding the first confirmation affordance; and
in response to receiving the input corresponding the first confirmation affordance, transitioning from the first device mode to the second device mode.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
detecting the change in a first user physical characteristic from a first physical characteristic value to a second physical characteristic value occurs at a first time; and
initiating the process to transition from the first device mode to the second device mode includes transitioning from the first device mode to the second device mode at a second time, later than the first time, that is the next occurrence of a specific time of day after the first time.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein initiating the process to transition from the first device mode the second device mode includes transitioning from the first device mode to the second device mode, wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
after transitioning from the first device mode to the second device mode, forgoing providing an option to transition from the second device mode to the first device mode.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the device is in a first respective device mode selected from a group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, receiving, from an external device, a request to transition a device mode; and
in response to receiving the request to transition a device mode, transitioning to a second respective device mode selected from the group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, wherein the second respective device mode is different from the first respective device mode.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the device is in a third respective device mode selected from a group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, receiving, from a second external device, a second request to transition a device mode;
in response to receiving the second request to transition a device mode, displaying a second confirmation user interface that includes a second confirmation affordance and a first rejection affordance;
while displaying the second confirmation affordance, receiving a first input; and
in response to receiving the first input:
in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to the second confirmation affordance, transitioning to a second respective device mode selected from the group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, wherein the third respective device mode is different than a fourth respective device mode; and
in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to the second confirmation affordance, remaining in the third respective device mode.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes an input device, wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the device is in a fifth respective device mode selected from a group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, receiving, via the input device, a third request to transition a device mode; and
in response to receiving the third request to transition a device mode, transitioning to a sixth respective device mode selected from the group consisting of the first device mode and the second device mode, wherein the sixth respective device mode is different than the fifth respective device mode.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is operating in the first device mode:
displaying a first physical activity tracking user interface that includes a first set of one or more activity tracking affordances that includes a first activity tracking affordance that, when selected, initiates a first activity tracking function; and

while the electronic device is operating in the second device mode:
displaying a second physical activity tracking user interface that includes a second set of one or more activity tracking affordances that includes the first activity tracking and a second activity tracking affordance that, when selected, initiates a second activity tracking function, wherein the second activity tracking affordance is not included in the first physical activity tracking user interface.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is operating in the first device mode:
displaying a first settings user interface that includes a first set of one or more settings affordances that includes a first setting affordance that, when selected, alters a first setting; and

while the electronic device is operating in the second device mode:
displaying a second settings user interface that includes a second set of one or more s
