Physical activity manager
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating activity management, comprising:
- an activity preparation component configured to incorporate a predefined regimen of activity into configuration indicia, the activity preparation component includinga regimen generation component configured to facilitate planning of an exercise or activity regimen that addresses one or more particular goals, at least in part by consideration of physiological parameters associated with the one or more particular goals, and by consideration of availability of exercise devices,an indicia generation component configured to incorporate regimen information corresponding to the regimen into transferable indicia or a medium, anda communication component configured to communicate the regimen information from the transferable indicia or medium to an apparatus; and
an activity information management component configured to interpret the configuration indicia and calibrate the apparatus as a function of the regimen information, the activity information management component includingan indicia management component configured to select a type of the transferable indicia or medium, and to aggregate activity information corresponding to the regimen, the activity information including at least physiological effects of the regimen, and to subsequently generate indicia corresponding to the activity information, anda communication component configured to communicate the activity information, via the generated indicia, to a receiving device.

Abstract
A system that facilitates activity management and tracking with respect to an individual is disclosed. The innovation employs the notion of establishing a strategy to compress activity information into an identifying indicia (e.g., two-dimensional barcode) that can be processed (e.g., scanned) by a wide array of devices (e.g., mobile phone, personal data assistant). The innovation discloses a system that facilitates the ability to plan, monitor and log activity of an individual. The planning phase enables a user or third party (e.g., health-care professional) to proactively define an exercise or activity regimen for a user. The monitoring phase enables real-time fitness and/or activity tracking of an individual. Finally, the logging phase enables a user to log the information into a fitness log that can be subsequently used in health or fitness-related assessment.

17. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by a computing device, perform a method comprising:
-
preparing regimen information corresponding to a planned regimen of activity, the planned regimen taking into consideration at least physiological parameters associated with one or more particular goals, and availability of exercise devices; selecting transferable indicia or a medium to communicate the regimen information; incorporating the regimen information in the selected transferable indicia or medium; communicating the regimen information via the transferable indicia or medium to an apparatus; interpreting the regimen information of the transferable indicia or medium to calibrate the apparatus; aggregating activity information corresponding to the regimen and generated by the apparatus, the activity information including at least physiological effects of the regimen; generating indicia corresponding to the activity information; and communicating the activity information, via the generated indicia, to a receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
