Publication number: 20230157579Abstract: A detection system includes an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, a determination unit and a correction unit. The acquisition unit acquires measurement information from a load distribution sensor that detects a distribution of a load received from a sole of a subject. The calculation unit calculates a total load value of a sole region corresponding to the position of a sole of one leg of the subject, based on the measurement information. The determination unit determines an action state of the one leg based on the total load value. The correction unit starts to offset the total load value using an offset filter that decreases an offset amount with time elapse, in response to a determination that the action state is a first action state where the total load value tends to increase and is equal to or larger than a preset determination value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventor: Yo SATO
