Method for classifying a movement, and a movement classification system

A movement classification system, comprising:

• a central classification unit;
• and
• a plurality of peripheral classification elements, wherein the peripheral classification elements each include at least one movement sensor;
• wherein the movement classification system is configured to classifying a movement including by:
• receiving classification data of the plurality of peripheral classification elements using the central classification unit, wherein the classification data each include at least one peripheral classification value,
• classifying the movement and generating a classification value using the central classification unit based on the peripheral classification values of the plurality of peripheral classification elements, and
• outputting the classification value to a display unit using the central classification unit.

A computing unit configured to classifying a movement by a movement classification system having a plurality of peripheral classification elements and a central classification unit, wherein the peripheral classification elements are arranged on different body parts of a person and each classifies the movement of the person based on sensor data, the computing unit configured to perform the following steps comprising:

• receiving classification data of the plurality of peripheral classification elements using the central classification unit, wherein the classification data each include at least one peripheral classification value;
• classifying the movement and generating a classification value using the central classification unit based on the peripheral classification values of the plurality of peripheral classification elements;
• and
• outputting the classification value to a display unit using the central classification unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program product including commands for classifying a movement by a movement classification system having a plurality of peripheral classification elements and a central classification unit, wherein the peripheral classification elements are arranged on different body parts of a person and each classifies the movement of the person based on sensor data, the commands, when executed by a data processor, causing the data processor to perform the following steps:

• receiving classification data of the plurality of peripheral classification elements using the central classification unit, wherein the classification data each include at least one peripheral classification value;
• classifying the movement and generating a classification value using the central classification unit based on the peripheral classification values of the plurality of peripheral classification elements;
• and
• outputting the classification value to a display unit using the central classification unit.
