INDEX VALUE ESTIMATION DEVICE, ESTIMATION SYSTEM, INDEX VALUE ESTIMATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18395817 titled 'INDEX VALUE ESTIMATION DEVICE, ESTIMATION SYSTEM, INDEX VALUE ESTIMATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that estimates an index value indicating the knee state of a user based on sensor data related to foot motion.
- Data acquisition unit acquires feature amount data from sensor data related to foot motion.
- Storage unit stores an estimation model that outputs an index value based on the feature amount data.
- Estimation unit uses the acquired feature amount data to estimate an index value indicating the knee state of the user.
- Output unit provides information about the estimated index value indicating the knee state of the user.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various fields such as sports medicine, physical therapy, and fitness tracking to monitor and assess knee health and performance.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in early detection of knee issues, monitoring rehabilitation progress, and optimizing training programs to prevent injuries.
Benefits
- Non-invasive monitoring of knee health - Personalized feedback for users - Improved performance and reduced risk of injury
Potential Commercial Applications
"Healthcare and Fitness Monitoring Technology for Knee Health"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be wearable devices that track motion and provide feedback on physical activity, but they may not specifically focus on knee health assessment.
Unanswered Questions
How accurate is the estimation of the knee state based on the sensor data?
The level of accuracy of the estimation model in predicting the knee state based on the acquired feature amount data is not specified in the abstract.
The abstract does not mention the specific types of sensors used to gather the data related to foot motion for estimating the knee state of the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
An index value estimation device including a data acquisition unit that acquires feature amount data including a feature amount extracted from sensor data related to a motion of a foot of a user and used for estimating an index value indicating a knee state of the user, a storage unit that stores an estimation model that outputs an index value according to an input of the feature amount data, an estimation unit that estimates an output obtained by inputting the acquired feature amount data to the estimation model as an index value indicating the knee state of the user, and an output unit that outputs information about the estimated index value indicating the knee state of the user.
