Abstract

Athletic performance monitoring and tracking may provide multiple ways in which to track athletic movement and activity. Workouts may also be tagged with various parameters including mood, weather, terrain, athletic equipment, friends used and the like. Workout information may be shared to social messaging and networking outlets. Workout information shared may include map information including images of maps, interactive maps, links to maps, route information and the like and/or combinations thereof. Additionally or alternatively, an application may be configured to execute within a context of a social networking system to facilitate athletic activity data transfer and generation of workout entries in the social networking site. Recommended activities to be performed or a recommended time to perform an activity may be determined based on a user's schedule, weather or conditions forecasts, or a location of the user or the potential activity.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor;

a display device; and

memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

determine a location of a user;

determine a schedule of the user;

determine a plurality of potential activity windows for the user, wherein each of the plurality of activity windows is a period of time during which the user does not have another event in the determined schedule;

determine at least one window of the potential activity windows when the user should not perform an activity;

determine a recommended activity window of the plurality of activity windows for performing a scheduled activity, automatically selected based on user input of conditions favored for the scheduled activity;

determine, based on the determined location of the user, an

indication of a

potential location for the scheduled activity, wherein the scheduled activity is automatically selected based on a maximum allowable travel time between the determined location of the user and a location of the scheduled activity; and

generate for display, on a user interface of the display device, a notification notifying the user to not perform an activity during the at least one window.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

automatically send a notification to a user indicating a time for the scheduled activity.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

input the time for the scheduled activity into a calendar of the user.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the schedule of the user is determined from a calendar.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled activity is a group workout.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the location of the scheduled activity is selected based on locations where the user has had past activity.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein determining the schedule of the user comprises:

determining a plurality of past activities performed by the user; and

determining a schedule of the user based at least in part on the plurality of past activities performed by the user.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein determining the plurality of past activities performed by the user further comprises monitoring the user's performance of the plurality of past activities during a predetermined calibration period.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein determining the plurality of past activities performed by the user further comprises:

accessing content of the user in a social network; and

determining the plurality of past activities based on the content of the user in the social network.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the determined plurality of potential activity windows includes travel time for the user to travel from the location of the user to a location of the selected activity.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine an intermediate destination, wherein the intermediate destination is a destination where the user will travel to before traveling to the location of the selected activity; and

determine the travel time based in part on the determined intermediate destination.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the determined intermediate destination is based on the determined location of the user.
