Athletic monitoring system having automatic pausing of media content
Systems and methods configured to be worn on a body of user for athletic performance monitoring, and having a sensor for capturing data associated with an athletic activity being carried out by the user. The captured sensor data may be used to identify a break in an athletic training session being carried out by the user, and in response, to automatically pause playback of media content to the user.
1. A unitary apparatus configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
a processor;
a location-determining sensor configured to capture location data of the user;
a media content interface configured to transmit information from media content to the user; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a planned running route for the user, wherein the computer-readable medium further comprises computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor perform at least:
identifying, from data received by the location-determining sensor, a geographic location of the user;
utilizing the identified geographic location of the user and the planned running route to identify an intersection within a predetermined distance ahead of the user on the planned running route; and
pausing playback of the media content until data received by the location-determining sensor indicates that the user has crossed the intersection.
2. The unitary apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured to be worn on an appendage of the user.
3. The unitary apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises a mobile phone.
4. The unitary apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the media content interface is a headphone jack.
5. The unitary apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined distance is 15 meters.
6. The unitary apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined distance is 5 meters.
