Abstract

Example embodiments relate to systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media relating to a user interface, that may for example, initiate transmission of a stream of audio data comprising a plurality of audio tracks from a music streaming service, and receive athletic activity data relating to a performance of an athletic activity by a user during an activity time period that includes a plurality of time intervals. For each of the plurality of time intervals, an athletic activity level is determined from the athletic activity data, a target audio track intensity corresponding to the athletic activity level is determined, and a playback of a streamed audio track corresponding to the target audio track intensity is initiated.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

initiating transmission of a stream of audio data comprising a plurality of audio tracks from a music streaming service;

receiving athletic activity data relating to a performance of an athletic activity by a user during an activity time period, wherein the activity time period includes a plurality of time intervals;

for each of the plurality of time intervals, determining an athletic activity level from the athletic activity data;

determining a target audio track intensity corresponding to the athletic activity level; and

initiating a playback of a streamed audio track corresponding to the target audio track intensity.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a user input selection identifying one or more parameters corresponding to an athletic activity program,

wherein determining the target audio track intensity is based, at least in part, on the athletic activity program.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a target audio track intensity includes determining a target tempo corresponding to a pace of the athletic activity level.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving athletic activity data includes receiving data from at least one sensor configured to detect movements of the user.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the athletic activity data is received from a wearable device associated with the user.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the athletic activity data includes at least one of pace, distance, cadence, stride, acceleration, geolocation, and heartrate.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a user input selection identifying a desired athletic activity level; and

selecting a subsequent audio track based on the desired athletic activity level.

8. A method comprising:

receiving a user input selection identifying a desired athletic activity level for at least one athletic activity to be performed by a user;

based on the desired athletic activity level, initiating playback of a first streamed audio track from a music streaming service;

receiving athletic activity data relating to a performance of the athletic activity by the user during a first time period of the athletic activity;

determining an athletic activity level from the athletic activity data;

determining a target audio track intensity corresponding to the determined athletic activity level; and

selecting a second streamed audio track corresponding to the target audio track intensity from the music streaming service regardless of the identified desired athletic activity level of the user input selection.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first time period corresponds to a duration of the first streamed audio track.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein determining a target audio track intensity is based on one of tempo, melody, tone and combinations thereof.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein receiving athletic activity data includes receiving data from at least one sensor configured to detect movements of a user.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the athletic activity data is received from a wearable device associated with the user.

13. A method comprising:

receiving a user input selection identifying one or more parameters corresponding to an athletic activity program;

generating an athletic workout for a user based on the user input selection; and

selecting a plurality of streamed audio tracks from a music streaming service to be played during the athletic workout corresponding to the athletic workout.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the athletic workout includes a plurality of athletic activity levels and wherein each of the plurality of streamed audio tracks is selected based on a corresponding athletic activity level.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the plurality of streamed audio tracks are selected, at least in part, on user account settings associated with the music streaming service.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the plurality of streamed audio tracks are selected, at least in part, on a target audio track intensity associated with an athletic activity level during the athletic workout.

17. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

selecting an advertisement audio track to be played at a selected time interval during the athletic workout;

wherein the selected time interval is based, at least in part, on an amount of completed time of the athletic workout.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the selected time interval is selected based, at least in part, on sensing a pause or a slowdown of the user during the athletic workout.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the advertisement audio track is selected from a plurality of advertisement audio tracks based on a target audio track intensity corresponding to the selected time interval in the athletic workout.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the advertisement audio track is selected from a plurality of advertisement audio tracks based on at least one of a geolocation of the user and one or more user information components.
