Publication number: 20190117127Abstract: Pacer activity data of a user may be managed. For example, historical activity data of a user corresponding to a particular time of a day prior to a current day may be received. Additionally, a user interface configured to display an activity goal of the user may be generated and the user interface may be provided for presentation. In some aspects, the user interface may be configured to display a first indicator that identifies cumulative progress towards the activity goal and a second indicator that identifies predicted cumulative progress towards the activity goal. The cumulative progress may be calculated based on monitored activity from a start of the current day to the particular time of the current day and the predicted cumulative progress may be calculated based on the received historical activity data corresponding to the particular time of the day prior to the current day.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Daniel S. Keen, Jay C. Blahnik, Gaurav Kapoor, Michael R. Siracusa

Patent number: 10270898Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher D. Soli, Lawrence Y. Yang, Dennis S. Park, Stephen O. Lemay, Daniel S. Keen, James H. Foster, Zachery Kennedy, Michael O'Reilly, Guy L. Tribble, Todd K. Whitehurst

Patent number: 10236079Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for managing user information. For example, data of the user may be stored in a memory. A request for a user to authorize access of at least a portion of the data may be provided. The authorization may be for an application to access the portion of the data. In some examples, a response to the request may be received, and an indication that the request was provided to the user may be provided without indicating whether the user denied the request.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Daniel S.

Patent number: 10091143Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for providing dynamic rule-based messages. For example, a user device may identify physical activity information. Based at least in part on the activity information, the device may determine whether a physical activity goal has been reached. The device may determine whether to present a dynamic progress update message based at least in part on a time since a first activity message was presented and whether the physical activity goal has been reached. In some instances, when it is determined to present the dynamic progress update message, the device may access a data structure configured to maintain progress update information associated with respective time intervals. The device may then retrieve the dynamic progress update message that corresponds to a particular time interval from the data structure. The device may also present the message for the particular time interval.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jay Kriz Blahnik, Eric D. Schlakman, Siji Rachel Tom, Daniel S. Keen, Aaron P. Thompson, Jed R. Cohen, Tasha R. Klubock

Publication number: 20180206766Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Jay BLAHNIK, Gary Ian BUTCHER, Kevin Will CHEN, David Chance GRAHAM, Daniel S. KEEN, Justin Shane RUSHING, T. Allan SHORTLIDGE, Anton M. DAVYDOV, Alan C. DYE, Jonathan P. IVE, Zachery KENNEDY, Zachury MINJACK, Dennis S. PARK, Brian SCHMITT

Patent number: 9858925Abstract: A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent and to reduce the number of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input. Context can include any available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information-processing problem and/or to personalize results. Context can be used to constrain solutions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Thomas Robert Gruber, Christopher Dean Brigham, Daniel S.
