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 (29)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving athletic activity data from a device configured to be worn by a user;

receiving an activity time period;

receiving a first activity goal for the activity time period;

determining, at a processor, whether the received athletic activity data exceeds the first activity goal for a predetermined number of activity time periods; and

presenting a streak reward to the user when the received athletic activity data exceeds the first activity goal for the predetermined number of activity time periods.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a number of activity points earned by the user in accordance with the received athletic activity data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is a wrist-worn monitoring device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a first application interface configured to communicate athletic activity data to the user, wherein the interface includes one or more functions configured to be invoked for at least the device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a portion of the first application interface is configured to provide a visualization of athletic activity data, and wherein different visualizations are provided in accordance with a user's progress toward completing the first activity goal.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a portion of the first application interface is configured to provide a visualization of athletic activity, and wherein different visualizations are provided in accordance with a user's progress toward achieving or extending an activity streak.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second activity goal for the activity time period; and

determining, at a processor, whether the received athletic activity data exceeds the second activity goal for a predetermined number of activity time periods.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting a streak reward further comprises providing the user with at least one of a new image, a new color, or a new function to be utilized in accordance with and application interface.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first application interface is further configured to communicate content to the user indicating that a streak reward is available upon performing a specified athletic activity.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting a streak reward to the user further comprises:

transmitting, to the device, content indicating that an activity streak has been achieved or extended by the user.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer device to perform the steps of:

receiving athletic activity data from a device configured to be worn by a user;

receiving an activity time period;

receiving an activity goal for the activity time period;

determining whether the received athletic activity data exceeds the activity goal for a predetermined number of activity time periods; and

presenting a streak reward to the user when the received athletic activity data exceeds the activity goal for the predetermined number of activity time periods.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further containing computer-executable instructions to cause the computer device to provide a first application interface configured to communicate athletic activity data to the user, wherein a portion of the first application interface is configured to provide a visualization of athletic activity, and wherein different visualizations are provided in accordance with a user's progress toward achieving or extending an activity streak.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further containing computer-executable instructions to cause the computer device to determine whether the received athletic activity data exceeds the activity goal for a greater number of activity time periods than the predetermined number of activity time periods.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein presenting a streak reward to the user includes transmitting, to the device, content indicting that an activity streak has been achieved or extended by the user.
