Motion tracking system with corrective action based on strap stretch
The patent US12053672B2 outlines a method and system for motion tracking using a plurality of straps equipped with stretch sensors. The method involves processing stretch values for each strap, which represent the stretching of the strap when worn on specific body members. The system derives length values from these stretch values and compares them to stored baseline values associated with the same individual. If any comparison exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system executes corrective actions, which may include notifying the user of incorrect strap arrangements or sending alerts to a remote electronic device.
Additionally, the patent describes a process for establishing baseline values by averaging second stretch values collected during prior motion tracking sessions. The system can utilize optical sensing devices to capture images of the user, allowing for precise determination of strap positions and potential imbalances between left and right body members. The method also includes features for assessing muscular mass imbalances and executing corrective actions based on these assessments. Overall, the technology aims to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of motion tracking systems by ensuring proper strap placement and monitoring user movements in real-time.
