Abstract
Technologies are generally described for methods, instructions, and applications for a user-guidance system. In some examples, the system may include sensors to measure current weight distribution of a user of the user-guidance system and to transmit resulting measured weight distribution data, a guidance apparatus to calculate a subsequent user movement based on at least the measured weight distribution data and to transmit resulting user movement instructions, and an actuator to produce actuating signals, based on at least the user movement instructions, that provide instructions for the subsequent user movement.
Claims50
A user-guidance system, comprising:
- sensors to measure current weight distribution of a user of the user-guidance system and to transmit resulting measured weight distribution data;
- a guidance apparatus to calculate a subsequent user stride based on at least the measured weight distribution data and to transmit resulting user stride instructions;
- an actuator to produce actuating signals, based on at least the user stride instructions, that provide instructions for the subsequent user stride;
- and
- a visual sensor to gather visual information regarding the user's current geographic locations,
- wherein the guidance apparatus is to calculate the subsequent user stride based on the measured weight distribution data and the gathered visual information.

A guidance system, comprising:
- at least one weight sensor to determine a user's current weight distribution;
- a visual sensor to provide visual data regarding the user's physical surroundings;
- a guiding device to translate the user's strides in response to the user's current weight distribution and the visual data into instructions to direct the user's physical strides;
- and
- at least one actuator to translate the instructions from the guiding device into at least one appropriate physical stimulus to direct the user's subsequent strides.

A computer-readable medium that stores one or more executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
- receive information from a visual sensor regarding physical surroundings of a user of a guidance system and one or more sensors regarding weight distribution of the user;
- calculate a next stride for the user based on at least the information received from the one or more sensors;
- and
- transmit instructions to one or more actuators to effectuate at least one stimulus to direct the user's next stride.
