Abstract

A system includes a minimally intrusive display system (MIDS) configured to be disposed on an eyewear. The MIDS includes a display system and a sensor system configured to provide for a sensor data. The MIDS further includes a processor configured to download a workout and to process the sensor data to monitor a user wearing the MIDS during the workout. The processor is further configured to display, via the display system, a workout progress based on the monitoring.

Claims (43)

1. A system, comprising:

a minimally intrusive display system (MIDS) configured to be disposed on an eyewear, the MIDS comprising:

a waterproof container configured to be disposed between a lens of the eyewear and an eye of a user of the eyewear;

a battery system configured to provide power for the MIDS, wherein the battery system is disposed within the waterproof container;

a display system disposed within the waterproof container and configured to be disposed between the lens of the eyewear and the eye of the user of the eyewear;

a sensor system included in the eyewear configured to provide sensor data; and

a processor configured to:

download a workout;

adjust the workout to provide a customized workout;

process the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during the customized workout; and

display, via the display system, a workout progress based on the monitoring, wherein the workout progress comprises text associated with the customized workout.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workout progress comprises a workout duration, a workout distance, a workout effort, or a combination thereof, for swimming, bicycling, running, skiing, walking, motorsporting, or a combination thereof.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the eyewear comprises swim goggles, and wherein the workout comprises a swimming workout having workout phases and/or workout attributes comprising a swim style, a send off time, a bilateral breathing, a build-up swim, a warmup, a cool down, an ascending interval, a decreasing interval, an ascending set, a descending set, a distance per stroke, a negative split, a pace, a pulling, a set, a drill, a sprint, or a combination thereof.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workout is configured to be stored in a data repository to be searched via a workout phase, a workout attribute, a social network, a club, a coach, an entity, a workout facility, a second user, or a combination thereof.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein processor is configured to save the customized workout in an external data repository.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workout comprises one or more workout phases linked sequentially.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display, via the display system, a workout phase of the customized workout representative of the user performing the workout phase.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the customized workout comprises one or more workout phases linked sequentially.

9. The system of claim 1 , comprising a second workout linked to the customized workout, wherein the processor is configured to process the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during the second workout; and display, via the display system, a second workout progress based on the monitoring of the user during the second workout.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

download a workout from a data repository, wherein the workout is downloaded based on user selection of the workout from the data repository;

receive sensor data from a sensor system disposed in a minimally intrusive display system (MIDS) configured to be disposed on an eyewear, the MIDS comprising a waterproof container, a battery system disposed within the waterproof container and configured to provide power for the MIDS, a display system disposed within the waterproof container, and the processor, wherein the waterproof container is configured to be disposed between a lens of the eyewear and an eve of a user of the eyewear;

process the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during the workout;

display, via the display system, a workout progress based on the monitoring; and

display, via the display system, textual information associated with the workout.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to search the data repository before the user selection of the workout to retrieve a list of workouts from the data repository.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to search the data repository by a workout phase, a workout attribute, a social network, a club, a coach, an entity, a workout facility, a second user, or a combination thereof.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to customize the workout to produce a customized workout.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to create a new workout and to store the new workout in the data repository.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

process the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during a second workout; and

display, via the display system, a second workout progress based on the monitoring of the user during the second workout,

wherein the second workout is sequentially linked to the workout.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to automatically adjust the workout during the workout based on the sensor data.

17. A method, comprising:

searching a data repository for a workout by a workout phase, a workout attribute, or both;

downloading the workout from the data repository based on a user selection of the workout;

receiving a sensor data from a sensor system disposed in a minimally intrusive display system (MIDS) configured to be disposed on an eyewear, the MIDS comprising a waterproof container, a battery system disposed within the waterproof container and configured to provide power for the MIDS, a display system disposed within the waterproof container, wherein the waterproof container is configured to be disposed between a lens of the eyewear and an eve of a user of the eyewear, and a processor;

processing the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during the workout; and

displaying, via the display system, a workout progress based on the monitoring, wherein the workout progress comprises text associated with the workout.

18. The method of claim 17 , comprising searching the data repository for the workout by a social network, a club, a coach, an entity, a workout facility, a second user, or a combination thereof.

19. The method of claim 17 , comprising customizing the workout to produce a custom workout.

20. The method of claim 17 , comprising creating a new workout, processing the sensor data to monitor the user wearing the MIDS during the new workout; and displaying, via the display system, a new workout progress based on the monitoring of the user during the new workout, wherein the new workout progress comprises additional text associated with the new workout.
