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:
a display; one or more processors; a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving historical activity data representing physical activity performed by a user; and
displaying an aggregated view of the historical activity data, wherein the aggregate view comprises:
an activity indicator comprising:
a first indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a first type of physical activity performed by a user during a period of time;
a second indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a second type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time; and
a third indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a third type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time; and

one or more partitions associated with the first, second, or third type of physical activity.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregate amount of the first type of physical activity comprises an amount of Calories expended by the user in performing the first type of physical activity over a period of time.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregate amount of the second type of physical activity comprises a number of minutes spent by the user in performing the second type of physical activity over the period of time.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregate amount of the third type of physical activity comprises a number of segments of time during which the user performed the third type of physical activity over the period of time.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the segments of time comprise hour-long segments of time.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the period of time comprises a day.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more partitions comprises:
a first partition associated with the first type of physical activity, the first partition comprising a textual representation of the aggregate amount of the first type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time and a graph representation of the first type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time; a second partition associated with the second type of physical activity, the second partition comprising a textual representation of the aggregate amount of the second type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time and a graph representation of the second type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time; and a third partition associated with the third type of physical activity, the third partition comprising a textual representation of the aggregate amount of the third type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time and a graph representation of the third type of physical activity performed by the user during the period of time.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
receiving a selection of the first, second, or third partition; and in response to receiving the selection of the first, second, or third partition, replacing the selected partition with an alternate view of the selected partition.

9 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the alternate view of the selected partition comprises additional information from that displayed within the selected partition.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated view of the historical activity data further comprises a workout partition associated with a workout performed by the user.

11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the workout partition comprises;
a textual description of the workout; a textual representation of a time spent performing the workout; a textual representation of a number of Calories expended performing the workout; and a graph representation of an attribute of the workout.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated view of the historical activity data further comprises a reward partition comprising one or more rewards obtained by the user during the period of time.

13 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated view of the historical activity data further comprises a summary partition comprising a textual representation of a number of steps taken by the user and a distance traveled by the user during the period of time.

14 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first indicator, the second indicator, and the third indicator are concentric rings.

15 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: receiving a request to view a monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for a month; and
in response to receiving the request to view the monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for the month, displaying the monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for the month.

16 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for the month comprises:
one or more daily activity indicators, wherein each of the one or more daily activity indicators is associated with a day of the month, and wherein each of the one or more daily activity indicators comprises:
a first indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a first type of physical activity performed by the user during the associated day;
a second indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a second type of physical activity performed by the user during the associated day; and
a third indicator representative of an aggregate amount of a third type of physical activity performed by the user during the associated day.

17 . The electronic device of claim 15 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: detecting a change in orientation of the electronic device while the monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for the month is being displayed; and
in response to detecting the change in orientation of the electronic device while the monthly aggregated view of the historical activity data for the month is being displayed, displaying a graph view of the historical activity data for the month.

18 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the graph view comprises a line graph of the aggregate amount of the first type of physical activity performed by the user for two or more days during the month.

19 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the graph view comprises a textual description of a number of Calories burned during the month and a textual description of a number of workouts performed during the month.

20 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the graph view comprises a textual description of a workout performed during the month.

21 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
receiving a request to view an achievement interface comprising one or more rewards obtained by the user; and in response to receiving the request to view the achievement interface comprising one or more rewards obtained by the user, displaying the achievement interface comprising one or more rewards obtained by the user.

22 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
