System and Method for Supporting an Exercise Movement

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a system and method for supporting exercise movements by providing real-time feedback. It uses sensors to detect the current (actual) position of an object or body part during an exercise or sport. The system then determines the desired (target) position based on models, rules, or reference data, and alerts the user if their position differs from the target. This feedback can be provided visually, acoustically, or through tactile signals, enabling users to adjust their movements immediately, which is valuable for training, rehabilitation, and performance optimization.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Sports training for athletes to improve technical and tactical movements (e.g., football, tennis, golf).
• Rehabilitation of patients recovering from injury, surgery, or stroke by guiding their limb movements in real-time.
• Fitness and exercise coaching for amateurs aiming to learn or improve movement patterns.
• Esports and VR environments where real-time movement tracking is crucial for feedback.
• Driver or pilot training by displaying the ideal driving line or maneuver in real-time through helmet visors or windshields.
• Team sports to coordinate player positions dynamically during practice or games.
• Performance diagnostics—creating movement efficiency profiles for athletes or patients.
• Theme park attractions or amusement devices where precise movement is important.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Provides immediate, real-time feedback to users, enabling faster learning curves and reducing trial-and-error.
• Highly adaptable to numerous activities, objects, and body parts—including sports equipment, vehicles, or limbs.
• Supports both individual and team training scenarios, and can be customized for specific needs or reference models.
• Improves safety and effectiveness in rehabilitation by guiding correct movement and reducing risk of injury.
• Automated data recording helps with continuous progress tracking and evidence-based adjustments to training.
• Can integrate with various display modalities—visual (projectors, screens, AR/VR), acoustic (headphones, speakers), or tactile (vibration devices)—to match user preferences and environments.
• Facilitates data-driven coaching or therapy by leveraging empirical, biomechanical, and statistical reference models.

Patent Abstract

The invention relates to a system for supporting an exercise movement, comprising an object, a detection device (101) for detecting an actual position of the object, a determination device (103) for determining a desired position of the object, and a display device (105) for displaying information on the desired position if the actual position and the desired position are different from each other.
