Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for monitoring a workout and for generating improved interfaces for the same. One example user interface detects when a workout of a particular type is started and begins generating activity data related to workout metrics associated with the type of workout selected. Using determined current values for the workout metrics, the example user interface displays a pro-view display that includes indicators for the workout metrics associated with the selected workout type. The pro-view display also includes a focus indicator that highlights a selected indicator representative of a focused workout metric. The focus indicator is movable among the indicators representative of the workout metrics based on user input. Upon detection of a gesture, the example user interface transitions to a simple-view display that includes an indicator representative of the focused workout metric. The simple-view display includes indicators for less than all of the workout metrics associated with the selected workout type. The example user interface receives input to change the focused workout metric in the simple-view display. The example user interface also receives a gesture to transition the simple-view display back to the pro-view display.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

at an electronic device including a touch-sensitive display;

detecting an identification of a type of workout to be performed, wherein the type of workout is associated with a plurality of workout metrics, including a first workout metric and a second workout metric;

detecting movement associated with an electronic device using one or more activity sensors;

generating activity data based on the detected movement;

determining a current value of the first workout metric and a current value of a second workout metric based on the activity data from at least a portion of the one or more activity sensors;

detecting a first user gesture corresponding to a request to display workout metric data;

in response to detecting the first gesture, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a first display, including;

a plurality of indicators representative of the plurality of workout metrics, including a first indicator representative of the first workout metric and a second indicator representative of the second workout metric; and

a focus indicator for one of the plurality of indicators, wherein the focus indicator indicates a focused workout metric;

while displaying the first display, detecting a second user gesture corresponding to a request to transition between the first display and a second display;

in response to detecting the second user gesture while displaying the first display, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a first transition to the second display, including an indicator representative of the focused workout metric, wherein not all of the plurality of workout metrics are represented in the second display; and

while displaying the second display, detecting a third user gesture corresponding to a request to transition between the second display and the first display;

in response to detecting the third user gesture while displaying the second display, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a second transition to the first display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality workout metrics that are associated with the type of workout are configurable.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of workout metrics includes a third workout metric and a fourth workout metric and wherein the plurality of indicators representative of the plurality of workout metrics further includes:

a third indicator representative of a third workout metric associated with the type of workout; and

a fourth indicator representative of a fourth workout metric associated with the type of workout, wherein the plurality of workout metrics include at least four workout metrics selected from;

a workout metric related to calories, a workout metric related to heart rate, a workout metric related to speed, a workout metric related to distance traveled, and a workout metric related to time.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of indicators in the first display includes only four indicators representative of workout metrics.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first indicator has a position relative to the second indicator in the first display, the method further comprising:

detecting a fourth user gesture corresponding to a request to change the position of the first indicator relative to the second indicator in the first display;

in response to detecting the fourth user gesture, changing the position of the first indicator relative to the second indicator.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first indicator has a first color and the second indicator has a second color different than the first color.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition from the first display to the second display includes an animation.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting a fifth user gesture corresponding to a request to transition from the first display or the second display to a third display;

in response to detecting the fifth user gesture while displaying the first display or the second display, causing, on the touch-sensitive display the third display, including workout controls or music controls.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

while displaying the first display, detecting a sixth user gesture corresponding to a request to move the focus indicator to a different indicator of the plurality of indicators on the first display;

in response to detecting the sixth user gesture, moving the focus indicator to the different indicator on the first display.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein generating activity data occurs after detecting the first user gesture corresponding to the request to display workout metrics.

11. An electronic device comprising:

one or more activity sensors configured to detect movement associated with the electronic device and generate activity data based on the detected movement;

a display;

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for;

detecting an identification of a type of workout to be performed, wherein the type of workout is associated with a plurality of workout metrics, including a first workout metric and a second workout metric;

detecting movement associated with an electronic device using one or more activity sensors;

generating activity data based on the detected movement;

determining a current value of the first workout metric and a current value of a second workout metric based on the activity data from at least a portion of the one or more activity sensors;

detecting a first user gesture corresponding to a request to display workout metric data;

in response to detecting the first gesture, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a first display, including;

a plurality of indicators representative of the plurality of workout metrics, including a first indicator representative of the first workout metric and a second indicator representative of the second workout metric; and

a focus indicator for one of the plurality of indicators, wherein the focus indicator indicates a focused workout metric;

while displaying the first display, detecting a second user gesture corresponding to a request to transition between the first display and a second display;

in response to detecting the second user gesture while displaying the first display, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a first transition to the second display, including an indicator representative of the focused workout metric, wherein not all of the plurality of workout metrics are represented in the second display; and

while displaying the second display, detecting a third user gesture corresponding to a request to transition between the second display and the first display;

in response to detecting the third user gesture while displaying the second display, causing, on the touch-sensitive display a second transition to the first display; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the one or more activity sensors, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, and the display, wherein the one or more processors are capable of executing the instructions of the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for, on an electronic device including a touch-sensitive display:

detecting an identification of a type of workout to be performed, wherein the type of workout is associated with a plurality of workout metrics, including a first workout metric and a second workout metric;

detecting movement associated with an electronic device using one or more activity sensors;

generating activity data based on the detected movement;
