Abstract
A wireless, programmable system, including one or more sensors devices, a controller device, and a wireless communication link that operationally connects the sensor device to the controller device(s). The system may alert when a sensor device and controller device exceed a predetermined threshold of distance and/or time. Controller device(s) may also be, or in addition to, a handheld computer device, such as a smartphone. In some other embodiments, the system may be used to detect body positions and/or train a user to achieve desired postures.
Claims8
A system for alerting a user of a deviation from or a return to a targeted posture or position, comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- a controller device in communication with the one or more sensors;
- a display device in communication with the controller device, wherein the display device displays a body avatar;
- wherein one or more virtual sensors are positioned on the body avatar at locations corresponding to the targeted posture or position;
- wherein the user positions the one or more sensors at locations of the body corresponding to the virtual sensors;
- and
- a memory device storing a degree of deviation relative to coordinates of the virtual sensors and a predetermined time period relative to the degree of deviation;
- wherein the controller device or the one or more sensors generates a vibration and/or sound and/or visual alarm/alert whenever the user position, determined by the one or more sensors, exceeds the degree of deviation or returns within the degree of deviation for the predetermined time period.
