Physical activity and workout monitor with a progress indicator

This invention describes an electronic device, like a smartwatch or fitness tracker, that keeps tabs on a user's physical activity and inactivity. It can tell the difference between various types of activities based on specific rules, and then shows the user a combined summary of their past activity. For example, it might show how many calories were burned during one type of activity and how many minutes were spent on another, all in one easy-to-understand display.
