ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE, DETERMINATION SYSTEM, ANOMALY DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538109 titled 'ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE, DETERMINATION SYSTEM, ANOMALY DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an anomaly detection device that uses sensor data from footwear to detect anomalies in a pedestrian's gait.

  • Extraction unit acquires sensor data from a sensor in the footwear.
  • Extraction unit extracts a gait feature amount characteristic of the pedestrian's gait.
  • Detection unit detects anomalies in the pedestrian's foot based on the extracted gait feature amount.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as healthcare, sports performance monitoring, and security systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in early detection of anomalies in a pedestrian's gait, which can prevent injuries or accidents.

Benefits

The device provides real-time monitoring of gait anomalies, leading to improved safety and health outcomes for pedestrians.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Gait Anomaly Detection Device for Enhanced Safety and Health Monitoring"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems for gait analysis and anomaly detection in the field of biomechanics and healthcare, but specific prior art related to using sensor data from footwear for this purpose is not known.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between normal variations in gait and actual anomalies?

The device likely uses algorithms and thresholds to distinguish between normal variations in gait and anomalies based on the extracted gait feature amount.

What is the accuracy rate of anomaly detection by the device?

The accuracy rate of anomaly detection would depend on the effectiveness of the algorithms and the quality of the sensor data collected.


Original Abstract Submitted

An anomaly detection device that includes an extraction unit that acquires sensor data from a sensor installed in footwear and extract a gait feature amount characteristic in gait of a pedestrian wearing the footwear by using the sensor data, and a detection unit that detects an anomaly in a foot of the pedestrian walking wearing the footwear based on the gait feature amount extracted by the extraction unit.
