Patent number: 11948216Abstract: User activity including both athletic activity (e.g., running, walking, etc.) and non-athletic activity (shopping, reading articles, etc.) may be monitored and tracked by an athletic monitoring and tracking device and service. The user activity may be used to award a user with an amount of virtual currency to encourage the user to continue various activities. In one example, users may use the virtual currency to purchase or otherwise acquire various products, services, discounts and the like. A user may track an amount currency earned and/or needed relative to an amount required to acquire a desired product or service. Additionally or alternatively, a visual appearance of a user device (e.g., a watch or athletic activity band) may change based on the user's activity level, an amount of virtual currency earned and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Michael T. Hoffman, Tomislav Lakovic, Richard J. Engelberg

Publication number: 20220028521Abstract: Example embodiments may relate systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media configured to correlate image data of a user performing physical activity with data collected during the user's performance. Data may include sensor data measuring, force, acceleration, speed, and/or processed sensor data from one or more sensors. Certain embodiments may determine whether the user is within a performance zone based on user attributes. Correlation of the image data with physical activity data may be based, at least in part, whether the user is within a performance zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Brandon S. Burroughs, Richard J. Engelberg, Jordan M. Rice, Bob Sweet, Aaron B. Weast, Wade Convay, Joshua Rooke-Ley

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
