Abstract
A wearable device and an exercise support method performed by the wearable device are disclosed. The exercise support method includes receiving exercise setting information associated with a lower body muscle that is selected by a user input, determining a torque profile to be applied to the wearable device based on the received exercise setting information, and operating an actuator of the wearable device based on the determined torque profile.
Claims18
An exercise support method performed by a wearable device, comprising:
- receiving, from a remote controller, exercise setting information comprising information on at least one lower body muscle that is selected by a user input;
- determining a torque profile to apply to the wearable device based on the received exercise setting information;
- and
- operating an actuator of the wearable device based on the determined torque profile,
- wherein the determining of the torque profile comprises:
- determining one or more gait segments corresponding to the selected at least one lower body muscle among a plurality of gait segments within a gait phase;
- and
- determining the torque profile such that a resistance torque to hinder a movement of a user is applied in the determined one or more gait segments.
An exercise support method performed by a wearable device, comprising:
- selectively setting the wearable device to an exercise mode;
- receiving, from a remote controller, exercise setting information comprising information on at least one lower body muscle that is selected by a user input in the exercise mode;
- and
- outputting, via an actuator of the wearable device, a resistance torque,
- wherein the outputting of the resistance torque comprises:
- determining one or more gait segments corresponding to the selected at least one lower body muscle among a plurality of gait segments within a gait phase;
- determining a torque profile such that a resistance torque to hinder a movement of a user is applied in the determined one or more gait segments;
- and
- outputting the resistance torques through the actuator based on the torque profile.
A wearable device comprising:
- an actuator configured to output a torque based on a torque profile;
- and
- a controller configured to,
- receive exercise setting information, from a remote controller, the exercise setting information comprising information on at least one lower body muscle that is selected by a user input,
- determine the torque profile based on the received exercise setting information, and
- operate the actuator of the wearable device based on the torque profile,
- wherein the controller is configured to,
- determine one or more gait segments corresponding to the selected at least one lower body muscle among a plurality of gait segments within a gait phase, and
- determine the torque profile such that a resistance torque to hinder a movement of a user is applied in the determined one or more gait segments.
