Apparatus, systems, and methods for monitoring the performance of an individual during a fitness activity are disclosed. A method of monitoring the performance of a participant engaged in a fitness activity includes receiving a GPS signal during the fitness activity at a portable fitness device used by the participant; determining participant performance data based on the received GPS signal; at a stationary position beacon, transmitting location data associated with the location of the stationary position beacon; at a mobile participant receiver supported by the participant, receiving the location data from the stationary position beacon; and modifying the participant performance data based on the data received from the stationary position beacon.

Fitness activity monitoring systems and methods

Program products, methods, and systems for providing location-aware fitness monitoring services are disclosed. In an embodiment of the present invention, a method of displaying a route traversed by an athlete equipped with a location-aware portable fitness monitoring device includes the steps of (a) receiving data describing a plurality of satellite navigational system waypoints that are acquired as the athlete engages in a fitness activity, (b) identifying a map area based on a location indicated by the data describing the plurality of satellite navigational system waypoints, (c) determining the route traversed by the athlete based on the data describing the plurality of satellite navigational system waypoints and based on the location of one or more known paths associated with the map area, and (d) displaying the route traversed by the athlete on top of the map area.

Program products, methods, and systems for providing location-aware fitness monitoring services

The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods that can be used to collect sensor data from, for instance, a sensor device that has been embedded in an article of apparel. The sensor device can be used, for instance, to monitor the athletic activity of an individual wearing the apparel into which the electronic device has been embedded. Embodiments of the sensor device include a memory, a wireless interface, and one or more processor. With these elements, the sensor device may receive instructions indicating what sensor data to collect, collect the sensor data, store the sensor data, and transmit the stored sensor data to the remote device upon completion of the activity.

Wireless data communication and power transmission athletic apparel module

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for enhancing users' overall experiences with physical items by supplementing their physical experiences with digital experiences. According to an embodiment, a user uses an electronic device to scan a smart tag associated with an item to obtain an item identifier of the item. The electronic device sends the item identifier to a server, which selects digital content related to the item and sends the selected digital content to the user's electronic device for display.

Method of providing digital content for users of physical items

Systems and methods for providing a health coaching message are disclosed. The method may include processing an electronic audio file to generate audio pace data, storing the audio pace data, receiving the electronic audio file and pace data, collecting electronic fitness data during a fitness activity; generating activity pace data; and playing the electronic audio file based on a comparison of the audio pace data and the activity pace data.

Systems and methods for providing a health coaching message

Apparatus, systems, and methods for tracking the location of an individual during a fitness activity are disclosed. A method of tracking a participant engaged in a fitness activity includes determining a location of the participant during the fitness activity based on data received at a portable fitness device used by the participant; determining a location of a spectator during the fitness activity based on data received at a mobile spectator device used by the spectator; from a server, sending an alert to a spectator at a spectator device during the fitness activity indicating that the participant is within a predetermined distance of the spectator; and sending an alert to the portable fitness device during the fitness activity indicating that the spectator is within a predetermined distance of the participant.

A message sender crafts an electronic message and addresses the electronic message to at least one message recipient. The message sender can further specify one or more discoverability criteria, such as a time criterion, a geolocation criterion, etc. In some embodiments, the message sender can create the electronic message and specify the discoverability criteria utilizing an application program executing on an electronic communication device of the sender or a browser-based application. The sender submits the electronic message to a message service, which can be provided, for example, by a message server coupled to the Internet. Although the electronic message is submitted to the message service, content of the electronic message is not immediately delivered to the message recipient. Instead, the message server reveals the content of the electronic message to the message recipient when at least some, and in some cases all, of the discoverability criteria are satisfied.

Discoverable electronic messages

Systems and methods for providing a health coaching message are disclosed. The method may include collecting electronic fitness data related to a fitness activity; transmitting the electronic fitness data; receiving the electronic fitness data; collecting second electronic fitness data; generating comparison data related to the electronic fitness data and the second electronic fitness data to determine a first ranking and a second ranking; and displaying the first ranking and the second ranking.
