  • Publication number: 20170239523
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for reporting information regarding hourly steps. One method includes operations for capturing motion data using an activity tracking device, and for identifying a plurality of intervals during a day. Each interval includes a start time, an end time, and an interval goal, which is the number of steps to be taken during the interval. The method includes an operation for determining the number of steps taken during the current interval. Responsive to determining that the steps taken during the current interval is less than the interval goal, a first message is presented on the activity tracking device indicating the steps taken during the current interval. Further, responsive to determining that the user meets the interval goal during the current interval, a second message is presented indicating in how many intervals of the current day the interval goal was reached.

  • Publication number: 20170243508
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for reporting sedentary time information. One method includes operations for capturing motion data using one or more sensors of an activity tracking device, and for determining one or more sedentary time periods associated where the user is sedentary. Further, the method includes an operation for determining a first set of one or more time intervals when the user is asleep, and for determining a second set of one or more time intervals when the user is not wearing the activity tracking device. The longest sedentary period for a day where the user is sedentary, awake, and wearing the activity tracking device, is calculated based on excluding the first and the second sets of one or more time intervals from the one or more sedentary time periods. Information describing the longest sedentary period is displayed on the activity tracking device.
