Abstract

A wearable device assembly has a housing supporting a controller, display and indicator system thereon. The controller has at least one sensor wherein activity of a user wearing the device is detected. The controller selectively illuminates the indicator system to indicate a level of activity of the user.

Claims (59)

1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that, when executed cause:

determining a first location of an activity monitoring device worn by a user;

receiving athletic activity data from the activity monitoring device indicating one or more athletic activities performed by the user;

generating an application interface that communicates the received athletic activity data to the user; and

automatically establishing, based on the determined first location, one or more display characteristics for the application interface.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

determining a first algorithm for measuring user activity based on the determined first location.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

receiving input identifying one or more activity metrics to be displayed via the application interface.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause determining the first location of the activity monitoring device by:

receiving input indicating the first location on the user.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

determining a second location of the activity monitoring device worn by the user; and

modifying a first display characteristic of the application interface based on the second location.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause modifying the first display characteristic by:

deactivating one or more displays of the application interface.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

determining a second location of the activity monitoring device worn by the user; and

modifying a first device characteristic of the activity monitoring device based on the second location.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause modifying the first device characteristic by:

automatically configuring the activity monitoring device to use a haptic output.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

determining a distance between the second location and a third location on the user; and

adjusting a force level of the haptic output in accordance with the determined distance.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause modifying the first device characteristic by:

automatically configuring the activity monitoring device to use an audio output.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:

determining a distance between the second location and a third location on the user; and

adjusting a volume level of the audio output in accordance with the determined distance.

12. A system comprising:

a first computing device; and

an activity monitoring device;

wherein the first computing device comprises:

one or more processors;

an input device; and

memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:

determine a first location of the activity monitoring device worn by a user;

receive athletic activity data from the activity monitoring device indicating one or more athletic activities performed by the user;

generating an application interface that communicates the received athletic activity data to the user; and

automatically establishing, based on the determined first location, one or more display characteristics for the application interface.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to:

determine, based on the determined first location, a first algorithm to measure user activity.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to determine the first location of the activity monitoring device by:

receiving, via the input device, data indicating the first location on the user.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to:

determine a second location of the activity monitoring device worn by the user; and

modify a first display characteristic of the application interface based on the second location.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to modify the first display characteristic by:

deactivating one or more displays of the application interface.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to:

determine a second location of the activity monitoring device worn by the user; and

modify a first device characteristic of the activity monitoring device based on the second location.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to modify the first device characteristic by:

automatically configuring the activity monitoring device to use a haptic output.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to:

determine a distance between the second location and a third location on the user; and

adjust a force level of the haptic output in accordance with the determined distance.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to modify the first device characteristic by:

automatically configuring the activity monitoring device to use an audio output.
