DETECTION DEVICE, DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18541194 titled 'DETECTION DEVICE, DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a detection device that can detect detailed walking events in both legs of a person based on sensor data from one leg.
- Extraction unit generates time-series data related to leg motion using sensor data from one leg and extracts a walking waveform from the data.
- Detection unit detects walking events in both legs from the extracted walking waveform.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Healthcare for monitoring gait patterns and detecting abnormalities.
- Sports performance analysis for tracking and improving walking techniques.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the following problems:
- Difficulty in accurately detecting walking events in both legs using sensors on just one leg.
- Inefficient monitoring of gait patterns and walking abnormalities.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in detecting walking events in both legs.
- Enhanced monitoring of gait patterns for better healthcare and sports performance analysis.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Wearable fitness trackers with advanced gait analysis features.
- Medical devices for rehabilitation and physical therapy purposes.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to gait analysis systems and motion detection devices using sensors, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
== How does this technology differentiate between different walking events in both legs? This information is not provided in the abstract, but the detection unit likely uses algorithms to analyze the walking waveform and identify specific patterns associated with different walking events.
== What types of sensors are used in the detection device? The abstract does not specify the type of sensor used, but it likely involves accelerometers or gyroscopes to measure leg motion accurately.
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to detect a detailed walking event in both legs on the basis of a physical quantity that relates to leg motion measured by a sensor mounted on one leg, there is provided a detection device including: an extraction unit for generating time-series data that accompany walking, using sensor data based on a physical quantity that relates to leg motion measured by a sensor installed on one leg part of a walking person, and extracting a walking waveform from the generated time-series data; and a detection unit for detecting a walking event in both legs of the walking person from the walking waveform extracted by the extraction unit.
