Patent number: 9936900Abstract: A system and method are described herein for a sensor device which biomechanically detects in real-time a user's movement state and posture and then provides real-time feedback to the user based on the user's real-time posture. The feedback is provided through immediate sensory feedback through the sensor device (e.g., a sound or vibration) as well as through an avatar within an associated application with which the sensor device communicates. The sensor device detects the user's movement state and posture by capturing data from a tri-axial accelerometer in the sensor device. Streamed data from the accelerometer is normalized to correct for sensor errors as well as variations in sensor placement and orientation. Normalization is based on accelerometer data collected while the user is wearing the device and performing specific actions.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Lumo BodyTech, IncInventors: Andrew Robert Chang, Monisha Perkash, C.

Patent number: 9591996Abstract: A system and method are described herein for detecting a user's transition between sitting and standing postures. Transitions between sitting and standing states are reliably detected using an accelerometer attached to the user. By modeling error introduced by the accelerometer, and correcting for this error, transitions between sitting and standing states are reliably detected. A microprocessor coupled to the accelerometer converts the captured accelerometer data to approximate vertical acceleration. Vertical velocity, which includes accelerometer error, is determined from the approximate vertical acceleration. The vertical velocity is corrected, and the corrected vertical velocity used to determine vertical displacement. Transitions between sitting and standing states are determined from the vertical displacement.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Lumo BodyTech, IncInventors: Andrew Robert Chang, Andreas Martin Hauenstein
