Abstract: An approach is provided for customizing map presentations. A semantic mapping platform determines context information for rendering a map on a user device. The semantic mapping platform then classifies a plurality of objects available for display in the map based on a level of association of each of the objects with the context information. The semantic mapping platform also prioritizes rendering of the objects based on the classification and causes, at least in part, actions that result in the rendering of the objects in the map according to the prioritization.

Abstract: Scores made by a player participating in a game can be tracked by using a sensor device coupled to the player to detect when the player attempts to make a score with a ball or other projectile. When a score is made, such as when something enters a goal, it is determined whether the projectile from the player is what made the score so that the score can be properly attributed to the player or another player. Attribution can be based on whether the score occurred within an appropriate time window, which could be computed from data from the sensor device. Attribution can also be based on the use of machine readable identifiers on the projectile, player, and/or goal.

Abstract: Inertial measurement units attached to a non-rigid body may measure a common motion event when the body changes direction of travel. Acceleration measurements made by the inertial measurement units of the event are used to determine a common reference direction which in turn can be used to derive, individually for each inertial measurement unit, a new orientation intended to be a better representation of the actual orientation of the inertial measurement unit.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a request for generating a challenge for a device or a user of the device. The method also comprises determining location information associated with the device. The method further comprises determining one or more characteristics that are detectable based, at least in part, on the location information. Furthermore, the method comprises generating the challenge based, at least in part, the one or more characteristics.

Abstract: A method for processing a video recording involves receiving sensor data from at least one sensor located on a person performing a physical activity. The sensor data includes biometric and/or biomechanical measurements taken from the person while performing the activity. The video recording is of the person performing the activity. The received video recording is correlated with the received sensor data to allow portions of the video recording to be matched with portions of the sensor data from corresponding periods of time. Correlation allows one to readily find and review video footage that show the activity being performed correctly or not based on an interpretation of the sensor data.

Abstract: Sensors can be used to monitor repeated performances of a physical activity. Data from the sensors are used to generate a report, which may include a video recording of the person performing the physical activity repeatedly, a performance quality attribute indicating desirability of how the physical activity was performed by the person, and/or a recommendation for improving the performance quality attribute.

Abstract: Prescriptive feedback about an activity performed by a person can be generated by a system having on-body sensors attached to the person's body. Data from the on-body sensors is analyzed by a processor device which instructs feedback devices to generate indicators that guide the person to perform the activity closer to a model of the activity. The indicators can be visual, audible, or haptic, and they can be generated on the person's body in real time.

Abstract: Sensors can be used to monitor repeated performances of a biomechanical activity. Data from the sensors are used to determine, for each performance of the biomechanical activity, values or measurements of parameters that quantify various aspects of the biomechanical activity. A consistency metric, which represents biomechanical similarity of the multiple performances of the biomechanical activity, is obtained from the parameter values that were derived from the sensor data. The consistency metric may be used to provide a quantitative assessment of consistency of performance of the biomechanical activity. This can be useful in athletic training as well as in physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating sharing device connections across multiple physical and/or virtual (logical) computers. A method may include receiving a USB device request from a virtual host controller driver of a client when a host is not in a power save mode and passing a USB device request to a host controller driver of the client when the host is in a power save mode. A method may also include activating a sharing switch of a host controller to connect a device connection port to the host when the host is not in a power save mode and to connect the device connection port to the client when the host is in a power save mode. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A myography system and method involves the use of reflected energy and/or pass-through energy to determine muscle activity as an alternative or in addition to using native signals which originate from the muscle being studied.

Abstract: A myography system and method can compensate for background noise in order to analyze data indicative of muscle contraction. Compensating for background noise may include any of: removing a model of the actual background noise from frequency data obtained from a myography sensor, identifying which myography sensor from among a plurality of myography sensors is located at a muscle likely undergoing contraction, and narrowing the analysis to searching for the type of muscular contraction (e.g., concentric, isometric, or eccentric) that is likely to be occurring. A model of the actual background noise can be obtained through use of myography sensors on different parts of the moving body. The muscles which are likely to be under contraction and the types of muscle contraction that are likely to be occurring at those muscles can be identified through use of motion capture devices, such as imaging devices and inertial measurement units.
