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 18539352 titled 'ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE, DETERMINATION SYSTEM, ANOMALY DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an anomaly detection device that uses sensor data from footwear to extract gait features and detect anomalies in a pedestrian's foot while walking.

  • Extraction unit acquires sensor data from footwear
  • Gait feature amount characteristic in pedestrian's gait extracted
  • Detection unit identifies anomalies in pedestrian's foot based on gait feature amount

Potential Applications

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

Problems Solved

1. Early detection of foot anomalies while walking 2. Monitoring and analyzing gait patterns for abnormalities

Benefits

1. Improved foot health monitoring 2. Enhanced safety and security measures 3. Personalized feedback for gait improvement

Potential Commercial Applications

"Footwear Anomaly Detection Device: Revolutionizing Gait Analysis in Sports and Healthcare"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents related to gait analysis systems or wearable sensors for foot health monitoring.

Unanswered Questions

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

The device likely uses algorithms to compare the extracted gait features with predefined patterns of normal gait to identify anomalies.

What types of anomalies in the foot can the device detect?

The device may be able to detect various anomalies such as irregular pressure distribution, asymmetrical gait patterns, or sudden changes in walking behavior.


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.
