  • Publication number: 20220288454
    Abstract: The exercise performance monitoring glove consists of a pair of flexible gloves that have embedded pressure sensor arrays to measure hand pressure applied to them during physical activities such as exercise. Each glove sends its pressure data in a real-time format using an embedded wireless RF transmitter to the opposite glove. The gloves then compare the pressures and provide feedback through a user selectable choice of either audio, visual or vibratory methods. Audio feedback is provided to earbuds using typical connection means such as Bluetooth connection to a smartphone or remote device having an exercise performance monitoring app. Visual feedback is provided in several possible modes such as text, color, and graphics using an embedded wraparound flexible display screen. Vibratory feedback is provided using embedded vibration devices inside the gloves.

  • Patent number: 10420387
    Abstract: The exercise performance monitoring apparatus consists of gloves and shoes that have embedded pressure sensor arrays to measure pressure applied to them during exercise. The gloves and shoes send the pressure data using wireless RF transmitters to a central display control unit located on each glove. The gloves have color LED strips which change color depending on whether the gloves or shoes are measuring equal pressures. The glove displays the state of balance between the glove and shoe pressures using separate LED displays on each glove. The pressure balance is adjustable as well as the selection of colors to display. The user can at a glance see if he or she is in balance when performing the specific exercise by observing the color shown on the glove display. The glove display for either glove or shoe pressure will flash the color representing unbalanced pressures if the pressures are unbalanced on the glove having the highest or lowest pressure depending on user preference.
