Abstract
A wearable motion sensing device is disclosed. One embodiment of the wearable motion sensing device includes a motion sensor, and a pendant that is attached to the wearable motion sensing device, wherein the pendant is attached to the wearable motion sensing device at a location of the wearable motion sensor relative to the motion sensor that when worn by a human being, a mass of the pendant urges the motion sensor towards the human being.
Claims24
A wearable motion sensing device, comprising:
- a motion sensor;
- a pendant that is attached to the wearable motion sensing device, wherein the pendant is attached to the wearable motion sensing device at a location of the wearable motion sensing device relative to the motion sensor that when worn by a human being, a mass of the pendant urges the motion sensor towards the human being.
A wearable motion sensing device, comprising:
- a motion sensor attached to the wearable motion sensing device at a first location;
- a pendant attached to the wearable motion sensing device at a second location, the pendant comprising a processor for processing electronic signals received from the motion sensor, and a power supply.
A method of detecting motion of a human, comprising:
- placing a wearable motion sensing device on the human, the wearable motion sensing device including a pendant that is attached to the wearable motion sensing device at a location of the wearable motion sensing device relative to a motion sensor of the wearable motion sensing device wherein a mass of the pendant urges the motion sensor towards the human being;
- generating an acceleration signature based on sensed acceleration of the motion sensor.
