WEARABLE DEVICE AND EXERCISE SUPPORT METHOD PERFORMED BY THE WEARABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18102823 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE AND EXERCISE SUPPORT METHOD PERFORMED BY THE WEARABLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a wearable device and a method for supporting exercise using the device. The method involves receiving exercise settings for a specific lower body muscle chosen by the user. Based on these settings, the device determines a torque profile to be applied and operates an actuator accordingly.
- The wearable device supports exercise by providing torque-based assistance.
- Exercise settings for a specific lower body muscle are received from the user.
- A torque profile is determined based on the received exercise settings.
- An actuator in the wearable device is operated according to the determined torque profile.
Potential Applications
- Fitness and exercise tracking devices
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy tools
- Sports training equipment
Problems Solved
- Lack of personalized exercise support for specific lower body muscles
- Difficulty in maintaining proper form and technique during exercises
- Limited availability of real-time feedback during workouts
Benefits
- Customized exercise support for targeted lower body muscles
- Improved exercise performance and technique
- Real-time feedback and assistance during workouts
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable device and an exercise support method performed by the wearable device are disclosed. The exercise support method includes receiving exercise setting information associated with a lower body muscle that is selected by a user input, determining a torque profile to be applied to the wearable device based on the received exercise setting information, and operating an actuator of the wearable device based on the determined torque profile.
