## Abstract

A device, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and method for disengaging a corrective action via a wearable unit are disclosed. In one example, a processor may receive a movement model for a type of motion of a user, collect sensor data associated with the type of motion of the user from a plurality of sensors of a wearable unit, and determine that the sensor data is not in accordance with the movement model. The processor may further provide a corrective action via the wearable unit in accordance with the movement model when it is determined that the sensor data is not in accordance with the movement model, detect a triggering condition for disengaging the corrective action, and disengage the corrective action when the triggering condition is detected.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
collecting sensor data associated with a type of motion of a user from a sensor of a wearable unit;
determining that the sensor data is not in accordance with a movement model;
providing a corrective action via the wearable unit in accordance with the movement model when it is determined that the sensor data is not in accordance with the movement model;
detecting a triggering condition for disengaging the corrective action; and
disengaging the corrective action when the triggering condition is detected.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the triggering condition comprises an audio input from the user.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the triggering condition comprises a physical gesture of the user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the physical gesture of the user is detected via the sensor.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the movement model is received from a device deployed within a telecommunication service provider network.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the movement model is received from a device associated with a caregiver that is authorized by the user.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the sensor comprises: a pressure sensor, a magnetometer, a compass, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a piezoelectric transducer, a magnetic gate, or a light gate.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the wearable unit includes at least one actuator comprising at least one of: an electric actuator, a hydraulic actuator, or a variable force solenoid.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, wherein the corrective action is provided via the at least one actuator.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises one of:
a mobile endpoint device of the user; or
a server deployed in a telecommunication network.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
collecting sensor data associated with a type of motion of a user from a sensor of a wearable unit;
determining that the sensor data is not in accordance with a movement model;
providing a corrective action via the wearable unit in accordance with the movement model when it is determined that the sensor data is not in accordance with the movement model;
detecting a triggering condition for disengaging the corrective action; and
disengaging the corrective action when the triggering condition is detected.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the triggering condition comprises an audio input from the user.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the triggering condition comprises a physical gesture of the user.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the physical gesture of the user is detected via the sensor.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the movement model is received from a device deployed within a telecommunication service provider network.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the movement model is received from a device associated with a caregiver that is authorized by the user.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the sensor comprises: a pressure sensor, a magnetometer, a compass, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a piezoelectric transducer, a magnetic gate, or a light gate.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the wearable unit includes at least one actuator comprising at least one of: an electric actuator, a hydraulic actuator, or a variable force solenoid.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the corrective action is provided via the at least one actuator.

### Claim 20

A method comprising:
collecting, by a processor, sensor data associated with a type of motion of a user from a sensor of a wearable unit;
determining, by the processor, that the sensor data is not in accordance with a movement model;
providing, by the processor, a corrective action via the wearable unit in accordance with the movement model when it is determined that the sensor data is not in accordance with the movement model;
detecting, by the processor, a triggering condition for disengaging the corrective action; and
disengaging, by the processor, the corrective action when the triggering condition is detected.
