Abstract
An torque pattern adjustment apparatus including a display configured to display a first torque pattern corresponding to a gait cycle, and a generator configured to generate a second torque pattern by adjusting at least a portion of the first torque pattern in response to a reception of an input, and a torque pattern adjustment method using the same may be provided. The first torque pattern may be applied to a joint of a user.
Claims9
A system for providing walking assistance, the system comprising:
- an electronic device including,
- a touch screen, and
- at least one processor configured to,
- display, on the touch screen, a graphical user interface (GUI) screen including a first torque intensity and a second torque intensity, for a walking aid device, wherein
- the first torque intensity and the second torque intensity correspond to a forward movement and a backward movement of at least one leg of a user wearing the walking aid device, respectively,
- the first torque intensity is displayed on the touch screen as a first number and the second torque intensity is displayed on the touch screen as a second number,
- the first number is adjacent to a first object corresponding to a forward direction associated with the first torque intensity, and the second number is adjacent to a second object corresponding to a backward direction associated with second torque intensity,
- the first number and the first object are located on a first region of the GUI screen, and the second number and the second object are located on a second region of the GUI screen that is different from the first region, and
- the GUI screen is for allowing the user to touch the first object to adjust the first torque intensity in the forward direction and touch the second object to adjust the second torque intensity in the backyard direction,
- receive, via the GUI screen displayed on the touch screen, a plurality of touch inputs to adjust the first torque intensity and the second torque intensity,
- provide, to the walking aid device, the adjusted first torque intensity and the adjusted second torque intensity;
- and the walking aid device including,
- at least one processor configured to,
- receive, from the electronic device, the adjusted first torque intensity and the adjusted second torque intensity,
- set the walking aid device to assist movement of the at least one leg of the user wearing the walking aid device based on the adjusted first torque intensity and the adjusted second torque intensity, and
- apply a first torque corresponding to the adjusted first torque intensity or a second torque corresponding to the adjusted second torque intensity to the at least one leg of the user wearing the walking aid device.
