Benefits of technology

[0005]Present principles recognize that portable aids can be provided to improve exercise performance, provide inspiration, enable the sharing of exercise performance for social reasons, help fulfill a person's exercise goals, analyze and track exercise results, and provide virtual coaching to exercise participants in an easy, intuitive manner.

Problems solved by technology

As understood herein, while stationary exercise equipment often comes equipped with data displays for the information of the exerciser, the information is not tailored to the individual and is frequently repetitive and monotonous.
As further understood herein, people enjoy listening to music as workout aids but the music typically is whatever is broadcast within a gymnasium or provided on a recording device the user may wear, again being potentially monotonous and unchanging in pattern and beat in a way that is uncoupled from the actual exercise being engaged in.

Abstract

A device includes at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor and at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions. The instructions configure the processor for accessing calendar information including scheduled events of a user, accessing map information, accessing location information indicating current location of the user, receiving user input indicating a desire for route information, based at least in part on time constraints indicated from the calendar information, accessing the location information and map information to determine a route, and audibly and / or visually displaying the route on the device. The determining of the route is also based on a current speed at which the user is moving.
