  • ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION BASED ON A RESISTANCE, EFFORT, AND POSTURE OF A USER
    Publication number: 20220327553
    Abstract: A system and method to obtain activity data for an activity of a user, the activity data corresponding to multiple parameters. A set of threshold criteria that corresponds to a multi-parameter activity zone is retrieved, where the set of threshold criteria includes an effort threshold criteria related to a heart rate of the user. An effort of the user is determined based on the activity data. A resistance experienced by the user is determined, where the resistance includes a measure representing at least one of stride rate, step rate, steps, or cadence. A posture of the user is determined. Based on the set of threshold criteria corresponding to the multi-parameter activity zone, an instance of the activity is classified as an activity type based on the resistance experienced by the user, the effort of the user, and the posture of the user.

  • Classification System and Method
    Publication number: 20130053990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for analysing an activity session. Data from a monitoring device worn by a user of the system for example is received over a period of time or distance and a classification system of the invention is utilised in real time or post session to determine the activities performed by the user during the session. The data collected relates to multiple parameters monitored during the activity session. The classification system defines an activity using a set of threshold criteria for a combination of parameters and therefore identifies a particular activity performed during the activity session when a combination of monitored parameters satisfies the threshold criteria for a particular activity. Determining the activities performed in this way allows for more useful interpretation of the data which in turn leads to more effective coaching advice and feedback for the user.

  • Effort classification based on activity and oxygen uptake
    Patent number: 11769158
    Abstract: A non-transitory memory component including software that, upon execution by a processor, perform operations to classify an activity performed by a user. First, the software receives activity data pertaining to an activity being performed by a user. The activity data may include one or more parameters associated with the activity including steps and time. Thereafter, a step rate is calculated based on the activity data, an activity is determined based on the calculated step rate, and an effort is determined in terms of cardiovascular intensity based, at least in part, on the calculated step rate. An appropriate effort threshold of determined cardiovascular intensity is identified based on oxygen uptake threshold. After, an activity type is classified using the effort and the activity.

  • ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION BASED ON A RESISTANCE AND EFFORT OF A USER
    Publication number: 20240330965
    Abstract: A system and method to determine an effort parameter associated with a user during an activity. A resistance experienced by the user during the activity is determined. A first comparison result is generated based on comparing the effort parameter associated with the user to a first threshold criteria of a set of threshold criteria corresponding to an activity zone. A second comparison result is generated based on comparing the resistance associated with the user to a second threshold criteria of the set of threshold criteria corresponding to the activity zone. Based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result, the activity of the user is classified as an activity type. The activity type is associated with at least one of electrocardiogram data of the user measured during the activity or blood pressure data of the user measured during the activity.
