  • Publication number: 20150100141
    Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a computer-implemented method, a device and a system for detecting and scoring exercises, including maintaining, by a mobile device, a library of motion signatures, in which a motion signature for an exercise is a sequence of characteristic features and a characteristic feature is a movement in the exercise; receiving, by a mobile device, a time series of data from a sensor device, the sensor device attached to the head or torso of a user, the data comprising accelerometer data from an accelerometer included in the sensor device, detecting a single repetition of a designated exercise performed by the user and calculating a motion score for the single repetition of the detected exercise.

  • Patent number: 8882676
    Abstract: A device for providing biofeedback information to a subject, including a receiver for receiving heart rate data from a sensor, said heart rate data corresponding to a human subject, a storage device for storing a time series of the received heart rate data, a display, and a processor that is programmed to enable access to the storage device and to perform actions including estimating an RSA strength of the subject's heart from the time series of the received heart rate data, calculating an accumulated RSA strength from a designated starting time until the present time, determining a motion by a virtual agent based on the accumulated RSA strength at the present time, said virtual agent being a graphical object or character that represents the subject, and displaying the motion of the virtual agent determined by said determining on the display.
