1. A unitary apparatus configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
- a processor;
a sensor configured to capture motion data and detect a geographic location of the user;
a user interface; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor perform at least;
detecting a current location of the user;
capturing, from the sensor while being worn on the user, motion data generated by the sensor as a result of a motion of the user;
calculating, from the motion data, an energy expenditure metric indicative of an amount of physical activity carried out by the user;
communicating, using the user interface, based on the detected current location of the user, a motivational message to the user encouraging the user to participate in an athletic activity,wherein the motivational message includes a map indicating a location within a predetermined range of the user at which one or more activities can be participated in by the user, wherein the map may suggest one or more activities based on a number of participants, and wherein the participants are unknown to the user, andwherein the motivational message includes a probability that participating in the one or more activities will meet or exceed an energy expenditure goal, based on a record of physical activities carried out by the user in the past.

Abstract
An athletic performance monitoring system, for motivating a user to reach a goal level of athletic activity. The system may motivate the user by calculation a deficit between a current total level of activity and the goal level of athletic activity, and suggesting activity types that the user may carry out an order to reach the goal level, wherein the suggested activity types may be based on activities that are geographically close to the user, or sporting equipment worn by, or in possession of, the user.

13. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; a sensor configured to capture motion data and detect a geographic location of a user of the apparatus; a user interface; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to; detect a current location of the user; capture motion data from the sensor; receive an identification of an athletic activity being performed by the user during the capture of the motion data; calculate an intensity level of the user during performance of the athletic activity from the motion data; determine a deficit between the calculated intensity level and a previous intensity level of the user for the same identified athletic activity; and communicate, based on the detected current location of the user, a motivational message to the user if the deficit is less than a threshold value, wherein the motivational message includes a map indicating a location within a predetermined range of the user at which one or more activities can be participated in by the user, wherein the map may suggest one or more activities based on a number of participants, and wherein the participants are unknown to the user, and wherein the motivational message includes a probability that participating in the one or more activities will meet or exceed the previous intensity level, based on a record of physical activities carried out by the user in the past. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor are configured to perform at least:
-
capture sensor data generated by a sensor as a result of a motion of a user; detect a current location of the user; calculate, from the captured sensor data, an intensity level as an energy expenditure over a specified amount of time for the user performing an athletic activity; and communicate a motivational message to the user when the calculated intensity level is within a threshold amount of a previously-stored intensity level for a same athletic activity, wherein the motivational message includes a map indicating a location within a predetermined range of the user at which one or more activities can be participated in by the user, wherein the map may suggest one or more activities based on a number of participants, and wherein the participants are unknown to the user, and wherein the motivational message includes a probability that participating in the one or more activities will meet or exceed a previously-stored intensity level, based on a record of physical activities carried out by the user in the past. - View Dependent Claims (20)
