  • Patent number: 11364413
    Abstract: A reaction force detection system for treadmills and detection method thereof is disclosed, wherein the system detects the current data generated by a user running on a treadmill comprising a running belt, a motor and an electronic circuit device by means of a current sensor, and then determines a current peak based on the current data, such that a ground reaction force peak can be determined according to the acquired current peak. Therefore, the present invention allows to determine the ground reaction force of the human body during running through the changes of the motor current signals inside the treadmill, such that these parameters can be further presented, analyzed, and stored in order to provide more scientific feedbacks for running trainings.

  • Patent number: 10917551
    Abstract: A method for interactive photography performed by a device, a device for interactive photography, and a computer program product for interactive photography are disclosed. An image is captured by a first device used by a first user to photograph a second user and the image received at a device for interactive photography. An adjustment input from the second user to adjust the image is received. An adjusted image is generated at the device for interactive photography based on the received adjustment input to the received image. The adjusted image is sent to the first device as adjustment information, for use in photographing the second user.

  • Publication number: 20200177531
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for sharing photos. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes identifying, using a processor, an event and potential attendees at the event based on photo metadata and facial recognition and establishing, using the processor, the event and attendees at the event. The method sends, using the processor, a preview photo based on original photo from another attendee at the event to an attendee who is a requestor. The method receives, using the processor, a selection of the preview photo from the requestor and sends, using the processor, the original photo based on the preview photo to the requestor.
