Patent number: 11896872Abstract: A system and method for automatically trimming and reclassifying workout data is disclosed. The system receives data associated with a workout of a user from at least one sensor associated with the user, the workout being classified as a first type of workout. The system processes the data to identify at least one time interval during the workout that does not correspond to the first workout type. The system prompts the user to select whether to remove or reclassify a subset of the data that is associated with the identified time interval. If the user chooses to do so, the system removes or reclassifies the subset of the data that is associated with the identified time interval. The system generates and provides workout depictions using the data, at least one of which illustrates only the remaining data that was not removed or reclassified.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: William Quast, Julia Lu, Suraj Bhattarai, Kaitlyn Carpenter, Brian Lewis, Christopher Peters
