Patent number: 11887496Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: MyFitnessPal, Inc.Inventors: James Lyke, Ben Hamill, Jeff Knight, Scott Laing

Patent number: 11871082Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: MyFitnessPal, Inc.Inventors: Gloria Wu, Scott Laing, Lauren McKenna

Publication number: 20230401977Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: James Lyke, Ben Hamill, Jeff Knight, Scott Laing

Patent number: 11541278Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: MyFitnessPal, Inc.Inventors: Lauren McKenna, Gloria Wu, Scott Laing

Patent number: 10709393Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Marcus Piña, Gloria Shee Ching Wu, Andrew Moore, Scott Laing
