Abstract: Electronic devices can facilitate collective and accurate scorekeeping. A first electronic mobile device can communicate (directly or indirectly) with a second electronic mobile device. Respective users can use the devices to identify when and/or how a score is to be adjusted. The input can be processed at a mobile device or central server to determine whether and/or how to adjust a score. Score adjustment can depend on whether any other input includes inconsistent information. The score adjustments can be pushed to one or more mobile devices. In this manner, all mobile devices can display a consistent and current score.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for tracking group members' proximity include associating a plurality of sensors with an application installed on each of a plurality of user devices and assigning each of the sensors to a corresponding one of the user devices. Assignments received on one of the user devices are wirelessly communicated to at least one other of the user devices, and proximity of each of the sensors to the corresponding user device is monitored. Status information is communicated between two or more of the user devices, and the status information indicates proximity of sensors to the corresponding user device and/or sensor assignments.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow steps to be counted in multiple pedometer modes. For example, a pedometer application on an electronic device can count steps in an ambient mode of operation and a session mode of operation. By maintaining separate counters for each pedometer mode and continuously monitoring the desired mode of operation, the pedometer application can accurately count the number of steps during a certain time period. In response to detecting a change in the desired mode, the pedometer application can seamlessly switch to the corresponding mode counter. In some embodiments, the pedometer application can display graphical representations of historical step information for one or more pedometer modes.
