ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SENSOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17889779 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SENSOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes electronic devices and methods for tracking exercise activities. The devices include processors that receive sensor data and perform various calculations to generate exercise information. Here are the key points:
- The devices receive sensor data from various sources.
- They determine the starting time of an exercise based on the sensor data.
- They estimate the user's exercise posture using additional sensor data.
- They estimate the pattern of change in distance between external electronic devices based on sensor data.
- They generate exercise information based on the estimated exercise posture and the pattern of change in distance between the devices.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Fitness tracking devices and apps can utilize this technology to provide accurate exercise information to users.
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs can benefit from the precise tracking of exercise postures and movements.
- Sports training programs can use this technology to monitor and analyze athletes' performance during exercises.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional exercise tracking methods may not provide accurate information about exercise postures and movements.
- Existing devices may not accurately track the distance between external electronic devices during exercises.
- Users may struggle to understand and interpret exercise data without the context of their exercise postures and movements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides accurate and detailed exercise information to users, helping them track their progress and make informed decisions about their fitness routines.
- Enables precise monitoring and analysis of exercise postures and movements, leading to more effective physical therapy and sports training programs.
- Enhances the overall user experience by providing meaningful and contextual exercise data.
Original Abstract Submitted
Electronic devices and methods are disclosed. First and second electronic devices include processors, which implement one or more methods, including receiving sensor data, determining an exercise starting timepoint based on first sensor data, estimating an exercise posture of a user based on second sensor data, estimating a pattern of change in distance between each of the plurality of external electronic devices, indicated by changes in the relative position between each the plurality of external electronic devices over a time period of the determined exercise starting timepoint, based on third sensor data, and generating exercise information based on the estimated exercise posture and the estimated pattern of change in distance between the plurality of external electronic devices.
