Abstract

According to various embodiments, a mobile device may be provided. The mobile device may include: a location determination circuit configured to determine a location of the mobile device; a goal determination circuit configured to determine a goal of a user of the mobile device; a target determination circuit configured to determine a target based on the determined location and based on the determined goal; and a notification circuit configured to notify the user about the target.

Claims

1. A mobile device comprising:

a location determination circuit configured to determine a location of the mobile device;

a goal determination circuit configured to determine a goal of a user of the mobile device;

a target determination circuit configured to determine a target based on the determined location and based on the determined goal; and

a notification circuit configured to notify the user about the target.

2. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the goal comprises at least one item selected from a group of items consisting of:

a fitness goal;

a goal related to amount of exercise;

a goal related to distance walked;

a goal related to energy consumption; and

a goal related to steps taken.

3. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the target comprises at least one item selected from a list of items consisting of:

a building;

a park;

a shop;

a shopping center;

an office;

a street;

a district of a city;

a city;

a country; and

a state.

4. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the notification circuit is configured to notify the user with an indication related to fulfillment of the goal if the user moves to the determined target.

5. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the location determination circuit is configured to determine the location of the mobile device using at least one of GPS, WiFi triangulation, and mobile radio communication cell triangulation.

6. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the target determination circuit is configured to determine the target so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the target.

7. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the target determination circuit is configured to determine at least one of a plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets, or determine a plurality of targets and a sequence of the plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets in the sequence.

9. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the notification circuit is configured to notify the user visually.

10. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the mobile device comprises at least one device selected from a group of devices consisting of:

a mobile radio communication device;

a mobile phone;

a tablet computer;

a handheld device; and

a wearable device.

11. The mobile device of claim 1,

wherein the target determination circuit is further configured to determine the target further based on at least one of traffic conditions, weather conditions, or a time left to complete the goal.

8. (canceled)

12. (canceled)

13. (canceled)

14. A method for controlling a mobile device, the method comprising:

determining a location of the mobile device;

determining a goal of a user of the mobile device;

determining a target based on the determined location and based on the determined goal; and

notifying the user about the target.

17. The method of claim 14,

wherein notifying the user comprises notifying the user with an indication related to fulfillment of the goal if the user moves to the determined target.

19. The method of claim 14,

wherein determining the target comprises determining the target so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the target.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising at least one of:

determining a plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets, or

determining a plurality of targets and a sequence of the plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets in the sequence.

24. The method of claim 14, further comprising at least one of:

determining the target further based on traffic conditions,

determining the target further based on weather conditions, or

determining the target further based on a time left to complete the goal.

27. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions which when executed by a processor of a mobile device cause the processor to perform:

determining a location of the mobile device;

determining a goal of a user of the mobile device;

determining a target based on the determined location and based on the determined goal; and

notifying the user about the target.

32. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 27,

wherein determining the target comprises determining the target so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the target.

33. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 27, further including program instructions which when executed by the processor of the mobile device cause the processor to perform:

determining a plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets.

34. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 27, further including program instructions which when executed by the processor of the mobile device cause the processor to perform:

determining a plurality of targets and a sequence of the plurality of targets so that the determined goal is fulfilled if the user moves to the plurality of targets in the sequence.

37. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 27, further including program instructions which when executed by the processor of the mobile device cause the processor to perform at least one of:

determining the target further based on traffic conditions,

determining the target further based on weather conditions, or

determining the target further based on a time left to complete the goal.
