Publication number: 20170036064Abstract: Athletic performance monitoring and tracking may provide multiple ways in which to track athletic movement and activity. In one example, an athletic monitoring device may include or be associated with multiple types of movement sensors and switch between the sensors or use both depending on various factors including type of workout. Workouts may also be tagged with various parameters including mood, weather, terrain, athletic equipment used and the like. In one or more examples, the parameters may be automatically determined based on location. User workouts and accomplishments may also be celebrated through messages from celebrities, family, friends and other users. In some cases, the messages may be triggered by various conditions. Coaching may also be provided to the user to help improve workouts and overall athletic performance. Running routes may also be automatically tracked, stored and shared.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Michael T.

Publication number: 20150057942Abstract: Athletic activity may be tracked and monitored while providing encouragement and maintaining an individual's interest in continuing to perform athletic activity. For example, energy expenditure values and energy expenditure intensity values may be calculated based on the duration and type of activity performed by an individual. These values and other movement data may be displayed on an interface in a manner to motivate the individual and maintain the individual's interest. Other individuals (e.g., friends) may also be displayed on an interface through which a user's progress is tracked. This may allow the user to also view the other individuals' progress toward completing an activity goal and/or challenge.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: Christina S. Self, Kristen L. White

Publication number: 20150057945Abstract: Athletic activity may be tracked while providing encouragement to perform athletic activity. For example, energy expenditure values and energy expenditure intensity values may be calculated and associated with a duration and type of activity performed by an individual. These values and other movement data may be displayed on an interface in a manner to motivate the individual and maintain the individual's interest. The interface may track one or more discrete “sessions”. The sessions may be associated with energy expenditure values during a duration that is within a second duration, such as a day, that is also tracked with respect to variables, such as energy expenditure. Other individuals (e.g., friends) may also be displayed on an interface through which a user's progress is tracked. This may allow the user to also view the other individuals' progress toward completing an activity goal and/or challenge.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: Kristen L.

Publication number: 20150044648Abstract: An athletic performance monitoring system, for motivating a user to reach a goal level of athletic activity. The system may motivate the user by calculation a deficit between a current total level of activity and the goal level of athletic activity, and suggesting activity types that the user may carry out an order to reach the goal level, wherein the suggested activity types may be based on activities that are geographically close to the user, or sporting equipment worn by, or in possession of, the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: NIKE, INC.Inventors: Kristen L.

Publication number: 20130345978Abstract: Activity monitoring may include tracking of a route or location where the activity was performed. In some examples, the route may be displayed against a heat map identifying areas of higher activity or popularity. Alternatively or additionally, routes may be automatically generated by a system based on various specifications such as an amount of time, a preferred location (a start and an end), a level of popularity or activity level, and the like and/or combinations thereof. A user's workout information may further be stored in association with a particular location or route.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: Karyn Lush, Kristen L.

Patent number: 8597093Abstract: Individuals may be encouraged to perform athletic activity based on punishments or adverse effects that may be applied if the individual loses an athletic activity competition. For example, a user's device may be adversely affected by visual or functional effects configured to obscure or obstruct one or more functions of the user's device. The punishment or adverse effect might not be removed or deactivated until a user has completed a new competition without losing. In some arrangements, the user may be required to win in order to have the adverse effect removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Nike, Inc.Inventors: Richard J Engelberg, Michael B Hailey, Stefan F Olander, Michael L Orenstein, Kristen L White, Reshma T Pendleton
