Abstract

Claims (29)

1. An activity tracking system configured to provide activity data to a user, the activity tracking system comprising:

a sensor device configured to be carried by the user, the sensor device including at least one sensor configured to obtain the activity data for the user; and

a display device including a display screen, the display device configured to receive the activity data obtained by the sensor device and display the activity data about a circular axis on the display screen, the circular axis provided as a solitary closed loop circular axis with respect to a defined center point, the activity data including first data on one side of the a circular axis and second data on an opposite side of the circular axis, wherein the first data and the second data are mutually exclusive, the first data including a first start time and a first end time, the first end time occurring in a selected day and the first start time occurring in a previous day, and the second data configured to overlap the first data on the circular axis such that both the first data and the second data are associated with at least one point on the circular axis.

2. The activity tracking system of claim 1 wherein the first data is workout data and the second data is sedentary data.

3. The activity tracking system of claim 1 wherein the circular axis extends over a twenty-four hour time period.

4. The activity tracking system of claim 1 wherein the circular axis is configured as a perfect circle.

5. The activity tracking system of claim 1 further comprising a multi-day table provided on the display screen, wherein activity data for different days is displayed on the circular axis on the display screen when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

6. The activity tracking system of claim 5 wherein the circular axis remains on the screen and the activity data displayed about the circular axis changes when the user scrolls across the multi-day table based on a selected day of the multi-day table.

7. A method of operating an activity tracking system, the method comprising:

receiving activity data from a sensor device carried by a user of the activity tracking system, the activity data including first activity data and second activity data, wherein the first activity data and the second activity data are mutually exclusive with respect to any time;

processing the activity data for use in association with a closed loop circular axis extending over a 24 hour time period;

displaying a first arc representative of the first activity data in association with the closed loop circular axis, wherein a circumference of a circle which would be formed by the first arc is representative of a current 24 hour period; and

displaying a second arc representative of the second activity data in association with the closed loop circular axis, the second arc arranged such that at least a portion thereof is concentric to the first arc, wherein a portion of a circumference of a circle which would be formed by the second arc is representative of a previous 24 hour period in which the second activity data began, and a remaining portion of the circumference of the circle which would be formed by the second arc is representative of the current 24 hour period;

wherein both the first arc and the second arc are simultaneously displayed in association with a same subset of points on the closed loop circular axis.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the first activity data is workout data and the second activity data is sedentary data.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the second activity data is displayed on an inner side of the closed loop circular axis and the first activity data is displayed on an outer side of the closed loop circular axis.

10. The method of claim 7 further comprising providing a multi-day table on the display screen, receiving selections for different days as a user scrolls across the multi-day table, and displaying activity data for different days on the display screen when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

11. The method of claim of claim 10 wherein the closed loop circular axis remains on the screen and the activity data displayed about the closed loop circular axis changes when the user scrolls across the multi-day table.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein the closed loop circular axis is a solitary closed loop circular axis with respect to a defined center point.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the solitary closed loop circular axis is displayed as a perfect circle on a display device.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer executable instructions which are configured to, when executed:

receive activity data from a sensor device carried by a user, the activity data including first activity data and second activity data, wherein the first activity data and the second activity data are mutually exclusive, the first activity data including a first start time and a first end time, the first end time occurring in a selected day and the first start time occurring in a previous day; and

display the activity data about a solitary closed loop circular axis on a display screen, the activity data including the first activity data on one side of the circular axis and the second activity data an opposite side of the circular axis, wherein at least a subset of the first activity data and the second activity data overlap on the circular axis at one or more points on the circular axis such that the subset of the first activity data and the second activity data are shown as occurring simultaneously for a period of time on the circular axis.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 14 wherein the circular axis represents a twenty-four hour time period for a selected day.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 15 wherein the first activity data is workout data and the second activity data is sedentary data, the sedentary data including a start time and an end time for a daily retired sleep period.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 16 wherein the subset of the first activity data and the second activity data shown as occurring simultaneously is an overlap region, wherein the overlap region begins at a start time of the daily retired sleep period, wherein the start time of the daily retired sleep period occurred on a previous day than the selected day, and wherein the overlap region includes awake data for the selected day when the user remained awake later than the start time of the daily retired sleep period from the previous day.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 14 wherein the first data is represented by first blocks of a first color, and wherein the second data is represented by second blocks of a second color, the first color different from the second color.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 18 wherein the first blocks are different in size depending on an intensity and a period of the activity data represented by the first blocks.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 14 wherein the computer-readable medium and the display screen are included on a mobile phone.
