Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer-based user experience that allows users to consume information about physical and digital activities undertaken by themselves or others. Here are the key points:

  • The system includes a software application on a computing device that communicates with an online service to obtain activity information and activity topics.
  • The activities are grouped into activity groups based on the topics produced for the activities.
  • The activity groups are displayed in a user interface within the application.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Personal activity tracking: Users can track and view their own physical and digital activities in a convenient and organized manner.
  • Social activity sharing: Users can share their activities with others and view the activities of their friends or contacts.
  • Data analysis: The system can analyze the activity information and topics to provide insights and trends related to user behavior.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Information overload: The system helps users consume and organize large amounts of activity information in a meaningful way.
  • Lack of context: By grouping activities based on topics, the system provides a better understanding of the overall context and relevance of the activities.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can easily access and navigate through their activities, improving their overall engagement and satisfaction.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein that provide a computer-based user experience that allows a user to consume information about physical and digital activities undertaken by one or more users. In an implementation, a software application on a computing device communicates with an online service to obtain activity information indicative of such activities, as well as activity topics produced by the service. The application groups the activities into activity groups based at least on the topics produced for the activities, and displays the activity groups in a user interface to the application.
