Motion tracking system adjusting method using gyroscope sensors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12014809B2) discloses a method and system for adjusting the operation of a motion tracking system using sensors and a computing device. The method involves placing sensors on a person's upper arm and chest, measuring orientations while the person performs specific movements, digitally processing these orientations to compute an orientation difference between the sensors, and adjusting the system's operation based on this difference. The predetermined movement involves the person moving their torso relative to their hip, without rotating the upper arm with respect to the shoulder.
Furthermore, the system can adjust its operation by modifying sensor orientations, adjusting exercise evaluation procedures, and providing user signals for sensor placement correction. The system digitally processes sensor data to calculate angular displacements, axes of rotation, and orientation differences, regardless of the movement direction. Additionally, the system includes calibration procedures for sensors and excludes magnetometer measurements during specific movements to enhance accuracy. Overall, this patent introduces a novel approach to motion tracking systems, offering precise adjustments based on sensor data to improve user experience and accuracy in physical exercise evaluation.
