Patent number: 11961106Abstract: An end-user computing device may utilize an imaging device to capture input from an electronic tag of a physical asset. The end-user computing device may generate supplemental digital data associated with the input. The end-user computing device may transmit the input and the supplemental digital data to an authentication and digital assets server. The authentication and digital assets server may authenticate the physical asset and transmit the authentication results to the end-user computing device, which may display the authentication results. If the authentication of the physical asset is successful, the authentication and digital assets server may select one or more digital assets and transmit the one or more digital assets to the end-user computing device. The end-user computing device may display the one or more digital assets.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Ron G. Faris, Jett House, Aaron L. Uhrmacher, Michael B. Hailey

Publication number: 20230044916Abstract: An end-user computing device may utilize augmented reality to capture input from a target image. The end-user computing device may determine whether the target image contains target information. If so, an augmented reality program on the end-user computing device may present an indication that the end user has unlocked an asset. An indication that the end user has unlocked the asset may also be sent to a remote computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Ron G. Faris, Jett House, Aaron L. Uhrmacher, Michael B. Hailey

Publication number: 20200237283Abstract: Athletic activity may be monitored using heart rate in addition to or instead of other types of metrics. Accordingly, multiple different activity types may be compared based on heart rate information. Additionally, the heart rate information may be visualized by displaying the heart rate data over time or relative to pace or distance. Additionally, the system may allow a user to analyze his or her heart rate performance by identifying one or more portions of the athletic activity in which a user exhibited a specified range of heart rates. Athletic activity sessions may further be tagged with various indicators including weather, terrain, difficulty and intensity. According to one or more aspects, data for different types of activity metrics may be polled and/or transmitted to a system at different rates or based on different schedules. Moreover, users may specify whether sensed data may be uploaded, recorded and/or visualized prior to or during an activity session.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Jason Nims, Matthew V. Capozzi, Kwamina Crankson, Michael B. Hailey

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

Patent number: 8553923Abstract: An in-ear earphone has a housing in which a driver is located. An articulated acoustic tube is coupled to the housing at its near end portion. The acoustic tube has an open far end portion that is to be inserted into an ear. A hinge or pivot mechanism is formed in the tube, between the near and far end portions. An acoustic aperture formed within the mechanism acoustically couples sound pressure waves, generated by the driver, to the far end portion of the acoustic tube. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Victor M. Tiscareno, Michael B. Hailey

Patent number: 8317658Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that allow sports or other equipment, such as gym or other cardio equipment, to write data to a media player. Examples further provide the uploading of this data to a computer and third-party website. To monitor progress, the third-party website can be used to track workout data over time. The third party-website can also collect data from other users, which is particularly useful for providing a competitive environment. This data can then be graphically displayed in various ways to provide encouragement.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse L.

Publication number: 20110264495Abstract: In one embodiment, media items can be identified as being of interest (i.e., “tagged”) as they are being played, and this information can then be sent to a tag aggregator, which aggregates tags from multiple types of devices. The tag aggregator can be located on the same device as a tagging application on which the media items are tagged, or alternatively it can be located on a different device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2010Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Michael B.
