  • Publication number: 20250041664
    Abstract: A method is provided for using any repetitive athletic activity as software input via a motion sensor assembly removably affixed to any limb segment moved by the activity in repeating swings. Embodiments may generate statistics about the intended activity, such as repetition count and cadence (e.g. cycling RPM), for use in triggering software response. Further embodiments may dynamically calibrate for various sensor assembly positions and exercise types (e.g. on the thigh or ankle for leg-pedaling, or on the wrist or upper arm for arm-pedaling, all at any roll about the limb segment's proximal-to-distal axial dimension). Preferred embodiments may handle calibration covertly as the user operates the software's intended purpose (without an overt “calibration phase,” and without needing to request information from the user). Further embodiments may track an intended activity (e.g. leg-pedaling) while identifying other motions (e.g.
