Abstract
Systems and methods for prompting a user to perform an exercise and monitoring the exercise are provided. Multiple independent sensors or sensor systems may be used to calculate energy expenditure. Various criteria may be used to manually or automatically select the independent sensor or sensor system or combination that will be used with the energy expenditure calculations.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one tangible memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- monitor, with a sensor, movements performed by a user, the sensor comprises an oxygen sensor or a force sensor and an oxygen sensor;
- receive, from an imaging device, an image of the movements performed by the user;
- identify, based on the image, first repetitions of a first user movement during the movements performed by the user;
- identify, based on a first repetition of the first user movement of the first repetitions of the first user movement, a first exercise;
- determine, by the at least one processor and while the user is performing the repetitions of the first user movement, a first energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the first repetition of the first user movement;
- calculate, based on the image, an adjustment factor based on a user's form when performing the first repetition of the first user movement;
- and
- determine, by the at least one processor, a first adjusted energy expenditure estimate of the user for the first repetition of the first user movement based on the first energy expenditure estimate and the adjustment factor.

A system comprising:
- a sensor configured to monitor an exercise performed by a user, wherein the sensor is located on a body of the user and wherein the sensor comprises one of an oxygen sensor or a force sensor and an oxygen sensor;
- and
- a computing device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one tangible memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device at least to:
- monitor, with the sensor, movements performed by a user;
- receive, from an imaging device, an image of the movements performed by the user;
- identify, based on the image, first repetitions of a first user movement during the movements performed by the user;
- identify, based on a first repetition of the first user movement of the first repetitions of the first user movement, a first exercise;
- determine, by the at least one processor and while the user is performing the repetitions of the first user movement, a first energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the first repetition of the first user movement;
- calculate, based on the image, an adjustment factor based on a user's form when performing the first repetition of the first user movement;
- and
- determine, by the at least one processor, a first adjusted energy expenditure estimate of the user for the first repetition of the first user movement based on the first energy expenditure estimate and the adjustment factor.

A method comprising:
- monitoring, with a sensor, movements performed by a user, wherein the sensor comprises one of an oxygen sensor or a force sensor and an oxygen sensor;
- receiving, by a computing device from an imaging device, an image of the movements performed by the user;
- identifying, by the computing device based on the image, first repetitions of a first user movement during the movements performed by the user;
- identifying, by the computing device based on a first repetition of the first user movement of the first repetitions of the first user movement, a first exercise;
- determining, by the computing device and while the user is performing the repetitions of the first user movement, a first energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the first repetition of the first user movement;
- calculating, by the computing device based on the image, an adjustment factor based on a user's form when performing the first repetition of the first user movement;
- and
- determining, by the computing device based on the first energy expenditure estimate and the adjustment factor, a first adjusted energy expenditure estimate of the user for the first repetition of the first user movement;
- and
- displaying, on a display device, the first adjusted energy expenditure estimate.
