Abstract
An apparatus includes a communications interface that receives first sensed data from a first sensor attached to a user and second sensed data from a second sensor attached to a user. That apparatus also includes circuitry that analyzes the first sensed data and the second sensed data and provides a display signal that causes a display to produce first visual information regarding a motion of the user and second visual information regarding the motion of the user, the first visual information being different than the second visual information.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive first data from a first sensor attached to a first body part of a user, and second data from a second sensor attached to a second body part of the user;
- adjust a delay of at least one of the first data or the second data for analysis of a body movement of the user, wherein the adjustment is based on a time stamp issued to each of the first data and the second data;
- determine a time-series change of angles of the first body part to represent the body movement, based on the first data, the second data, and the adjusted delay;
- and
- generate a display signal that causes a display device to generate first visual information regarding the time-series change of the angles, and second visual information regarding the body movement so as to visualize the body movement,
- wherein the generation of the display signal is based on at least one of the first data or the second data, and
- wherein the first visual information is different from the second visual information.

A method, comprising:
- acquiring first data from a first sensor attached to a first body part of a user, and second data from a second sensor attached to a second body part of the user;
- sending, by a communications interface, the first data and the second data to analysis circuitry,
- wherein the analysis circuitry adjusts a delay of at least one of the first data or the second data for analysis of a body movement of the user, wherein the adjustment is based on a time stamp issued to each of the first data and the second data, and wherein the analysis circuitry determines a time-series change of angles of the first body part to represent the body movement, based on the first data, the second data, and the adjusted delay;
- receiving a display signal from the analysis circuitry;
- and
- displaying first visual information regarding the time-series change of the angles, and second visual information regarding the body movement so as to visualize the body movement, wherein the first visual information and the second visual information are displayed based on the display signal, and
- wherein the first visual information is different from the second visual information.
