Method for controlling motion sequence of body of human patient, involves comparing multi-dimensional actual characteristic vector with reference characteristic vector, and generating signal perceivable by user based on comparison result

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

This invention describes a method for controlling and analyzing the motion sequence of a human body using a network of sensor nodes placed at joints or body parts. The sensors collect motion data, process it into a multi-dimensional characteristic vector, and compare it against a reference vector to evaluate performance. Based on the comparison, the system generates a signal (such as light or sound) to provide feedback to the user.

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

• Physical rehabilitation and therapy to ensure correct exercises and movements
• Sports and athletic training to monitor and improve technique
• Assisting elderly or disabled individuals with guided movements
• Motion analysis in ergonomic studies or workplace safety
• Integration in gaming or virtual reality for real-time body motion detection

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Provides immediate feedback to users for corrective action
• Enables objective measurement and analysis of body movement
• Can be customized for various application domains (medical, sports, etc.)
• Reduces the need for continuous supervision by medical staff or trainers
• Enhances user engagement and motivation through perceivable signals

Patent Abstract

The method involves arranging a set of sensor nodes (10, 20, 30) having LEDs at joints and/or members of a human body in same positions. A motion sequence is executed and measured values corresponding with the sequence is detected at the nodes. A set of characteristics characterizing the sequence is determined from the measured values. The characteristics are represented as a multi-dimensional actual characteristic vector. The vector is compared with a reference characteristic vector. A signal perceivable by a user is generated based on the comparison result. An independent claim is also included for a sensor network including a set of sensor nodes.
