Abstract

Example embodiments relate to systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media relating to a user interface, that may for example, receive and/or process physical activity data and allow interaction with the received information in novel implementations.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

obtaining, by a first computing device, a first set of athletic activity data relating to athletic activity performed by a first user for a plurality of time periods;

determining performance metrics for one or more of the plurality of time periods;

determining, based at least in part on the performance metrics, a color value for each of the one or more of the plurality or time periods;

generating, based on the determined color values, a first activity design; and

authenticating, by the first computing device and based on the first activity design, a payment transaction of the first user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the color value comprises an RGB color value.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input selection identifying the performance metrics.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input selection identifying a duration of the plurality of time periods.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein authenticating the payment transaction further comprises:

receiving, from a second computing device, a second activity design;

comparing the first activity design to the second activity design; and

in response to determining that the first activity design corresponds to the second activity design, authenticating the payment transaction.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein authenticating the payment transaction further comprises:

receiving, from a second computing device, biometric information for the first user; and

authenticating, based in part on the received biometric information, the payment transaction.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

encrypting the first activity design; and

transmitting the first activity design to a remote device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, to a remote device, the first activity design to activate a display of advertisements tailored to the first user.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprises:

receiving user input selection indicating a design pattern of the first activity design.

10. An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing computer readable instructions that, when executed cause the apparatus to;

obtain a first set of athletic activity data relating to athletic activity performed by a first user for a plurality of time periods;

determine performance metrics for one or more of the plurality of time periods;

determine, based at least in part on the performance metrics, a color value for each of the one or more of the plurality of time periods;

generate, based on the determined color values, a first activity design; and

authenticate, based on the first activity design, a payment transaction of the first user.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:

receive user input selection identifying the performance metrics.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:

receive user input selection identifying a duration of the plurality of time periods.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to authenticate the payment transaction by:

receiving, from a first computing device, a second activity design;

comparing the first activity design to the second activity design; and

in response to determining that the first activity design corresponds to the second activity design, authenticating the payment transaction.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to authenticate the payment transaction by:

receiving, from a first computing device, biometric information for the first user; and

authenticating, based in part on the received biometric information, the payment transaction.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:

transmit, to a remote device, the first activity design to activate a display of advertisements tailored to the first user.

16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:

encrypt the first activity design; and

transmit the first activity design to a remote device.

17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the color value comprises an RGB color value.

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:

receive user input selection indicating a design pattern of the first activity design.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus at least to perform:

obtaining a first set of athletic activity data relating to athletic activity performed by a first user for a plurality of time periods;

determining performance metrics for one or more of the plurality of time periods;

determining, based at least in part on the performance metrics, a color value for each of the one or more of the plurality or time periods;

generating, based on the determined color values, a first activity design; and

authenticating, based on the first activity design, a payment transaction of the first user.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

receiving, from a first computing device, a second activity design;

comparing the first activity design to the second activity design; and

in response to determining that the first activity design corresponds to the second activity design, authenticating the payment transaction.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

receiving, from a first computing device, biometric information for the first user; and

authenticating, based in part on the received biometric information, the payment transaction.

22. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

transmit, to a remote device, the first activity design to activate a display of advertisements tailored to the first user.

23. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

receiving user input selection identifying the performance metric.

24. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

receiving user input selection identifying a duration of the plurality of time periods.

25. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to perform:

receiving, from a first computing device, a second activity design;

comparing the first activity design to the second activity design; and
