AUTOMATIC EXERCISE ROUTE DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299807 titled 'AUTOMATIC EXERCISE ROUTE DETECTION
The subject system described in the patent application involves a processor determining a user's location within a pre-defined exercise route's bounding box, receiving information about a specific segment of the route, and retrieving exercise route data.
- The processor further receives user location data for the segment, correlates it with pre-determined distance information, and generates segment-matched location data.
- An exercise metric is then provided based on the segment-matched location data.
Potential Applications: - Fitness tracking applications - Location-based exercise programs - Personalized workout routines
Problems Solved: - Tracking user progress along specific exercise routes - Providing accurate exercise metrics based on user location data
Benefits: - Enhanced user engagement during workouts - Customized exercise feedback based on location - Improved tracking of fitness goals
Commercial Applications: Title: Location-Based Fitness Tracking Technology This technology could be utilized in fitness apps, wearable devices, and gym equipment to offer users personalized exercise tracking and feedback, potentially increasing user retention and engagement in fitness programs.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing fitness tracking devices and applications that use GPS data to monitor user activity and provide exercise metrics.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of location-based fitness tracking technologies, as well as integrating them with other health and wellness platforms.
Questions about Location-Based Fitness Tracking Technology: 1. How does this technology differentiate itself from existing fitness tracking solutions? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with collecting and storing user location data for exercise tracking purposes?
Original Abstract Submitted
the subject system may be implemented by at least one processor configured to determine that a location of a user is within a bounding box corresponding to a pre-defined exercise route, receive an indication of a pre-defined segment corresponding to the pre-defined exercise route, and retrieve exercise route data for the pre-defined exercise route. the exercise route data may include pre-determined distance information corresponding to the pre-defined segment of the pre-defined exercise route. the at least one processor may be further configured to receive user location data corresponding to a traversal of the pre-defined segment, generate segment-matched location data by correlating the user location data to the pre-determined distance information corresponding to the pre-defined segment, and provide an exercise metric determined based at least in part on the segment-matched location data.
