1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor of a system, ambient activity;
generating, by a processor of the system, ambient activity data in accordance with the detected ambient activity by the sensor, the ambient activity data including physical ambient activity data;
recognizing, by the processor, relevant ambient activity data from irrelevant ambient activity data by comparing the physical ambient activity data to a pattern of physical activity data;
receiving, by the processor, a starting trigger, the starting trigger causing the processor to initiate a physical activity session;
receiving physical activity data from the sensor during the physical activity session; and
processing by the processor, the physical activity data and the recognized ambient activity data in a manner in accordance with the physical activity session.

Abstract
Improved techniques and systems for utilizing a portable electronic device to monitor, process, present and manage data captured by a remote sensor during a physical activity session are disclosed. The portable electronic device offers a convenient user interface that can be visual and/or audio based customized to a particular application, user-friendly and/or dynamic. The portable electronic device can pertain to a personal media device and thus also provide media playback.
