AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is about an application that uses chase, negative reinforcement, and competition to make workouts more interesting. In the "blackout" mode, the volume and sound gradually decrease if you don't meet your goals. This helps to keep you motivated and engaged with the workout. Overall, this application makes it easier to enjoy and achieve results from your workouts.

Problems solved by technology

The software will be developed to be compatible and used with but limited to operating systems for mobile devices and computers such as Apple Inc.

In “Volume and Sound” mode is more an annoyance since if you are not meeting your goals e.g. calories burned, calorie burned / minute, distance, distance / interval, time / distance, (revolutions per minute) RPM, pulse, heart rate, times, and repetitions etc. the volume starts fading and eventually disabled.
