Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for efficiently and securely managing human motion data. In one aspect, a human-motion-data-managing system first receives a sequence of video images including a first person. Next, for each image in the sequence of video images, the human-motion-data-managing system detects the first person in the video image; and subsequently extracts a skeleton figure of the detected first person from the image, wherein the skeleton figure is composed of a set of human keypoints. Next, human-motion-data-managing system combines a sequence of extracted skeleton figures of the detected first person from the sequence of video images to form a skeleton sequence of the detected first person which depicts a continuous motion of the first person. The human-motion-data-managing system subsequently transmits the skeleton sequence to a server in place of the actual images of the first person to preserve the privacy of the first person.

Abstract: A software program implementing one or more artificial intelligence algorithms is compiled to create intermediate code. An interpreter retrieves a line of code included in the intermediate code. If the interpreter determines that the line of code includes a hypersection definition, the interpreter creates a hypersection based on the hypersection definition and associates a name with the hypersection based on the hypersection definition. The interpreter retrieves one or more subsequent lines of code that are associated with the hypersection and adds the one or more subsequent lines of code to the hypersection. The interpreter configures and executes the hypersection. If the interpreter retrieves an additional line of code that references a previously defined hypersection, then the interpreter determines the code included in the hypersection, reconfigures the hypersection to create a reconfigured hypersection, and executes the reconfigured hypersection.
