Workout monitor interface

The invention describes how an electronic device, such as a smartwatch or smartphone, can manage both workout tracking and music playback. While a workout session is active and its interface is displayed, a specific user action, like a swipe gesture, will instantly switch the screen to a music application. The device also shows a smooth animation during this transition between the workout and music screens.

Why it matters: By 2020, swipe gestures and animated transitions for app switching were already standard user interface patterns on electronic devices, particularly wearables. The core technical capability to implement this feature has not significantly changed since filing, so the challenge remains in offering a unique user experience rather than a new technical solution.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateSoftware logic, UI programming
