Patent number: 11967246Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a user interface of a user device. The user interface may also be used to begin the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element. During the breathing sequence, heart rate data may be collected and used to present heart rate information at a conclusion of the breathing sequence.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jay Kriz Blahnik, Erno H. Klaassen, Julie A. Arney, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo, Christopher J. Brouse

Publication number: 20230343450Abstract: Systems and methods for creating personalized exercise programs are disclosed. An image capture device and a computer device are used to capture images of a user while the user performs athletic movements. The images may then be evaluated to create a human movement screen score. The human movement screen score, goal and time commitment information may then be used to create a personalized exercise program tailored to the specific user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Tesa Aragones, Adriana Guerrero, Christina S.

Patent number: 11116425Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel S. Keen, Jay C. Blahnik, Gaurav Kapoor, Michael R. Siracusa

Patent number: 11069255Abstract: A breathing sequence may define a suggested breathing pattern. Input may be received at a user interface of a device to initiate the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence may include a configuration phase in which configuration information may be received. The configuration information may define a variable time period for the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence also may include a preliminary phase during which a first version of a fluctuating progress indicator may be presented on the user interface. The fluctuating progress indicator may include a plurality of variable visual characteristics and may fluctuate at a first cyclic rate. The breathing sequence may also include a breathing phase during which a second version of the fluctuating progress indicator may be presented. The second version of the fluctuating progress indicator may fluctuate at a second cyclic rate according to a breathing rate.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jay C. Blahnik, Erno H. Klaassen, Julie A. Arney, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo, Christopher J. Brouse

Patent number: 10726731Abstract: A breathing sequence may define a suggested breathing pattern. Based on signal data collected by a user device, an initial breathing pattern that includes a cyclic pattern may be estimated. A first period of the breathing sequence may be initiated by generating a breathing sequence element based on a synchronization of the cyclic pattern with the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence element may fluctuate during a second period of the breathing sequence in accordance with a breathing profile associated with the suggested breathing pattern.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julie A. Arney, Erno H. Klaassen, Jay C. Blahnik, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Christopher J. Brouse, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo

Patent number: 10549173Abstract: User interface elements relating to fitness may be shared between user devices. These user interface elements may be updated based at least in part on activity data of users associated with the user devices. A user may determine a length of time for sharing their user interface elements. Once a sharing relationship between at least two users has been established, updates corresponding to user interface elements may be shared between the users via their respective user devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Jay C. Blahnik

Patent number: 10504380Abstract: A fitness achievement definition may define a fitness achievement using trigger information and one or more achievement rules. The fitness achievement may be earnable by a user of a user device by meeting the requirements of the fitness achievement. The fitness achievement definition may be stored on a user device that includes an application that collects data including fitness data. Detection of a trigger event corresponding to the trigger information and evaluation of the achievement rules may be managed by the user device. In some examples, a fitness communication relating to the fitness achievement may be presented at the user device.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Aaron P. Thompson, Anders K. Haglunds, Jay C. Blahnik

Patent number: 10420982Abstract: System and methods are provided for prompting a user to perform an exercise and to monitor the exercise. The form of the user may be monitored, such as with one or more video cameras and/or other sensors, to determine how well the user is performing the exercise. Energy expenditure is estimated based factors that include the type of the exercise, the form of the user and a contribution value that associates energy expenditure with form.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Tesa Aragones, Adriana Guerrero, Steve Holmes, Christina S. Self, Aaron B. Weast, Paul Winsper, Jay C. Blahnik, Adam Carroll

Patent number: 10369412Abstract: Systems and methods for prompting a user to perform an exercise and monitoring the exercise are provided. Multiple independent sensors or sensor systems may be used to calculate energy expenditure. Various criteria may be used to manually or automatically select the independent sensor or sensor system or combination that will be used with the energy expenditure calculations.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Tesa Aragones, Adriana Guerrero, Steve Holmes, Christina S. Self, Aaron B. Weast, Paul Winsper, Jay C. Blahnik
