  • Patent number: 11887496
    Abstract: System and method for coaching based on workout history and/or readiness/recovery information. Improved solutions enable intelligent management of a user's personal fitness journey based on workout recommendations that closely align with the user's traits. In one exemplary embodiment, workout data for a population of different individuals is analyzed to identify groups of similarly performing individuals. Each group of individuals is analyzed to generate an expected profile that approximates the physiological and/or psychological traits of the group. An expected profile includes heuristics and/or performance metrics that enable dynamic coaching during workouts. Subsequently thereafter, users can be dynamically coached by their client device, based on the expected profile.

  • Patent number: 11871082
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for media playback based on cue points. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to instructional media components (e.g., video, audio, and/or text) that focus the user's attention on details of proper form. The cue point navigation system enables the user to navigate the instructional media according to specific movement cues. Notably, the UI minimizes navigational complexity, while simultaneously maximizing user comprehension. As described in greater detail herein, hybrid media playback advantageously provides the user with different ways to absorb the instructional information.

  • Publication number: 20230401977
    Abstract: A method for enabling dynamic coaching feedback is disclosed. The method comprises generating a plurality of expected profiles for a plurality of data records within a user history database by grouping users into the plurality of expected profiles, generating heuristics and performance metrics for each of the plurality of expected profiles, and associating a first user with a first expected profile of the plurality of expected profiles. The method further includes receiving user input relating to nutrition consumption for the first user and, in response to receiving the user input relating to nutrition consumption, recommending an activity for the first user based on the first expected profile. The first expected profile includes at least one heuristic for generating dynamic feedback with the activity, and the at least one heuristic for generating the dynamic feedback comprises a rule for modifying the activity based on the nutrition consumption for the first user.

  • Patent number: 11541278
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing workouts via exercise specific user interface elements. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to exercise specific user interface elements (e.g., floating smart timers, etc.) that are automatically pre-populated with data based on prescribed workout information. The user is provided a workout that includes a number of different exercises, and their prescribed completion values. The user can perform the workout and quickly log the pre-populated completion values (if accurate), or alternatively manually enter actual workout data. Additionally, the user can quickly transition through their “checklist” of exercises, based on the prescribed ordering of the workout. The resulting workout data record can be automatically logged at the end of the workout session. The exercise specific user interface allows a user to log workout activity with minimal distraction.

  • Patent number: 10709393
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing dynamic displays. In one embodiment, a method is provided wherein health parameters having goals associated therewith are displayed; data relating to the health parameters is received and the display is incremented according to a progress of the user toward the goal. When collection of the data is completed, it is determined whether a current value of a first one of the health parameters within a predetermined range of the goal associated therewith. When the current value of the first one of the health parameters is within the range, a portion of the display relating thereto is upgraded. When the current value of all of the health parameters is within the range, the entire display is upgraded. The display upgrades may comprise display of an animation and/or using color, light, and/or flashing to simulate a shining or shimmering of the display.

  • Patent number: 10699247
    Abstract: A method and system for providing health task notifications to users. In one embodiment, the method comprises establishing a schedule for the delivery of health task notifications or reminders. The schedule may be entered by the user or provided as an editable default schedule based on the user's inputted health goals. Notifications and/or reminders are then provided according to the schedule. The system includes a means by which the user may interact with the messages to provide a response. For example, the user may acknowledge, dismiss, and/or delay the message. Based on the user's interaction, the message display is completed or reiterated at a predetermined delay time. In some instances, the schedule may also be updated based on the user's response.
