Patents by Inventor Min-Yen Li

Min-Yen Li has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11628557
    Abstract: A force applying auxiliary device and a control method thereof are provided. The force applying auxiliary device includes a sensor group, a processor, and a force applying driver. The sensor group includes a first sensor disposed on a first side and a second sensor disposed on a second side. The processor collects motion posture data of a user according to the first sensor and the second sensor, and determines whether a motion of the user is abnormal. When determining that the motion of the user is abnormal, the processor selects at least one preset abnormal pattern as a specific abnormal pattern according to the motion posture data, and controls the force applying driver to provide a force by using the specific abnormal pattern. A force difference between first and second forces applied to first and second side feet is adjusted based on a difference in sampling values between the sensors.

  • Patent number: 11478394
    Abstract: An exoskeleton wear management method is provided. The method includes receiving inertial data from a sensing system; determining whether a left leg component of an exoskeleton device is parallel to a left leg of a user and a right leg component of the exoskeleton device is parallel to a right leg of the user according to the received inertial data; in response to determining that the left leg component/the right leg component is not parallel to the left leg/the right leg of the user, prompting an adjusting left leg component message/an adjusting right leg component message; and in response to determining that the left leg component is parallel to the left leg of the user and the right leg component is parallel to the right leg of the user, prompting a left leg component and right leg component correctly-worn message.
