  • Patent number: 9916015
    Abstract: A recognition device includes an acquisition unit and a processor. The acquisition unit acquires first and second informations. The first information relates to a first signal corresponding to a state of a first portion of a body performing an action. The first signal is generated by a first element mounted to the first portion. The second information relates to a second signal corresponding to a state of a second portion. The second signal is generated by a second element mounted to the second portion. A relative positional relationship between the first portion and the second portion changes according to the action. The processor calculates a first feature based on the first information and a second feature based on the second information. The processor recognizes a type of the action based on a change of the first feature and a change of the second feature.
