Abstract

A method and apparatus to facilitate learning while moving, efficient multitasking involving movement while the user processes or responds to different stimuli. The stimuli may include but are not limited to information related to education or entertainment or feedback concerning the user's movement. More specifically this movement may be related to coordination, exercise or physiotherapy. The methods and apparatuses of the disclosure involve the user conducting movement, while simultaneously processing with the aid of an output device, movement device and sensor relays. In this disclosure sensors monitoring a user's performance on an output device may alter the parameters of a movement device's functionality, or vice versa. In some embodiments sensor relays may be used to create a perimeter for an area where a user can exercise while using an output device without the aid of a movement device. In other embodiments an observer can adjust the devices' set points.

Claims4

Dependent claims

A method for moving while receiving information wherein a user is fitted with one or more sensor relays, at least one of said sensor relay detecting information regarding the user's performance then:

a) said sensor relay sending the information it detects to a computer processor designed to analyze the information
b) after analyzing the information against a default or user defined set point, the computer processor sending the signal to an output device, a media device, or a movement device and
c) the output device automatically providing feedback in response to the signal, alerting the user to control the velocity of a movement device they are using or their own movement speed or adjust their own position or breathing
or
d) the media device automatically moving the digital image of an electronic display or changing the audio content to a song with a faster or slower pace accordingly, or pausing an entertainment movie until the user reaches a preset comfort level threshold
or
e) the movement device automatically adjusting in response to the user's learning over time performance accordingly.
