  • Publication number: 20200215391
    Abstract: A method determines running phases of a user on a treadmill having first and second rotating elements rotating about respective rotational axes transverse to a longitudinal axis of the treadmill. A physical exercise surface connects to the rotating elements. An electric motor operatively associated with one rotating element rotates the rotating elements and the physical exercise surface. A processor connects to the electric motor and controls the electric motor. The processor determines a magnitude variable over time, which is correlated to user interaction with the exercise surface while exercising and has a periodic trend. The processor determines time instants of at least two points of the periodic trend. The time instants of each point representing instants of user interaction with the exercise surface. The processor determines a running phase of the user on the exercise surface as a function of the respective time instants of the periodic trend.

  • Publication number: 20200215392
    Abstract: Tracking and monitoring athletic activity offers individuals with additional motivation to continue such behavior. An individual may track his or her athletic activity by completing goals. These goals may be represented by real-world objects such as food items, landmarks, buildings, statues, other physical structures, toys and the like. Each object may correspond to an athletic activity goal and require an amount of athletic activity to complete the goal. For example, a donut goal object may correspond to an athletic activity goal of burning 350 calories. The user may progress from goal object to goal object. Goal objects may increase in difficulty (e.g., amount of athletic activity required) and might only be available for selection upon completing an immediately previous goal object, a number of goal objects, an amount of athletic activity and the like.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for altering perception of virtual or game content in a virtual space based on one or more attribute levels. The perception of some virtual or game content may not be altered. Thus, the depiction of some content is altered while other content is not. A system may alter the depiction of game content based on attributes of an entity and/or based on which entity is to perceive the game content. The different depictions of game content may be provided to the same entity at different times and/or different perceptions of game content may be provided to different entities. Thus, a rich interface may be provided that differentially depicts game content based on attribute levels and/or the entity that is to perceive the game content.
