WEARABLE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO USER CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017124 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO USER CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can communicate with a wearable device and apply an external force to a user. The electronic device includes a communication module, a display, a memory, and a processor. The communication module establishes a wireless communication link with the wearable device. The memory stores a fitness application, and the processor executes the fitness application and controls the display to show the executed fitness application on the screen.
- The electronic device can communicate wirelessly with a wearable device.
- It can display a fitness application on its screen.
- The wearable device can be in a sensing state to detect the user's motion.
- The electronic device can provide visual feedback corresponding to the sensing state.
Potential Applications:
- Fitness tracking and monitoring: The electronic device can be used to track and monitor the user's fitness activities, providing real-time feedback and guidance.
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy: The device can assist in rehabilitation exercises by providing visual feedback and controlling the external force applied to the user.
- Virtual reality gaming: The device can enhance the gaming experience by providing haptic feedback and interacting with wearable devices used for virtual reality.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of real-time feedback: The device provides visual feedback to the user, allowing them to adjust their movements and improve their performance.
- Limited control over external force: The device can apply an external force to the user, helping them perform exercises correctly and safely.
- Inefficient communication between devices: The wireless communication link between the electronic device and the wearable device enables seamless data transfer and interaction.
