Abstract
A yoga under-mat to be positioned under an exercise mat, to make the exercise mat a smart mat. The yoga under-mat including a plurality of sensors to monitor a user's health data, while the user is performing exercises, and to provide data to the user.
Claims20
A monitoring system comprising:
- an under-mat for placement under an exercise mat, the under-mat including a plurality of sensors arranged in a pattern, the pattern for the sensors comprises a first line sensors and a second line sensor arranged in an X configuration, and data from the plurality of sensors is used to identify a stance of a user on the exercise mat, and monitor the user's vital signs;
- and
- a computer coupled to the under-mat to provide user feedback.
A method of providing an exercise tracker utilizing a yoga under-mat placed below an exercise mat, the method comprising:
- receiving data from a plurality of sensors embedded in the yoga under-mat;
- determining a user's movements during an exercise session utilizing the data from the plurality of sensors;
- detecting a user's heart rate and respiration rate during the exercise session utilizing the data from the plurality of sensors;
- utilizing a special-purpose processor to calculate the user's stances during the exercise session based on the data from the plurality of sensors;
- and
- instructing the user to correct the user's stances.

An exercise monitoring system comprising:
- an under-mat for placement under an exercise mat, the under-mat including a plurality of sensors arranged in a pattern, the plurality of sensors collecting sensor data when the under-mat is in use;
- a connection to receive the sensor data from the plurality of sensors, the connection to send data to a remote server;
- a processor in the remote server configured to use data from the plurality of sensors to determine a user's stance based on a position of each body part on the under-mat and weight distribution between the body parts;
- the processor configured to further use the data to determine the user's vital signs;
- and
- a user interface configured to provide feedback to the user based on the determination.
