1. A method for implementing in a personal electronic device (PED) that has an media player, comprising the steps of:
- enabling a user to input one or more user preferences;
determining a user activity associated with the user;
playing media; and
initiating output of one or more activity based suggestive (ABS) messages based at least in part upon the user preferences and the user activity.

Abstract
A personal electronic device (PED) is provided with a system for delivering activity based suggestive (ABS) messages (e.g., a motivational message, etc.) to a user based upon the current or anticipated activity of the user. In some embodiments, the user can define user preferences, which determine when and how ABS messages are initiated. In some embodiments, the message selection is based upon a detected activity, location, or speed of the user. In some embodiments, the message selection is based upon a detection of a local environmental event.

16. A method for implementing in a personal electronic device (PED) having one or more audio outputs, comprising the steps of:
-
enabling a user to perform a first electronic based intelligence function; and enabling the user to perform a second electronic based intelligence function, comprising; enabling the user to input one or more user preferences that will cause the PED to play in the future one or more activity based suggestive (ABS) messages; and initiating output of the one or more ABS messages based upon the user preferences to the one or more audio outputs. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method for implementing in a personal electronic device (PED) having one or more audio outputs, a GPS receiver, and map data, comprising the steps of:
-
enabling a user to perform a first electronic based intelligence function; enabling the user to perform a second electronic based intelligence function, comprising; receiving location information from the GPS receiver; determining an activity status based upon the location information and the map data, the activity status relating to an activity associated with the user; and initiating output of the one or more ABS messages based upon the activity status to the one or more audio outputs. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A method for implementing in a personal electronic device (PED) having one or more outputs, comprising the steps of:
-
enabling a user to perform a first electronic based intelligence function; and enabling the user to perform a second electronic based intelligence function, comprising; sensing a signal in a local environment associated with the PED; converting the sensed signal to sensed data; detecting an event, at least in part, by comparing the sensed data with reference data that corresponds to the event; and initiating output of the one or more activity based (ABS) messages to the one or more outputs based, at least in part, upon the detected event. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
