Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for mobile device based hand grip strength measurement. In some aspects, a mobile device includes a vibration motor, an inertial motion unit (IMU), a processor, and non-transitory computer-readable memory, in which the processor is configured to perform operations including: causing the vibration motor to vibrate; acquiring, using the inertial measurement unit of the mobile device, IMU data indicative of vibration damping that is caused by a user applying a force on the mobile device; and determining the applied force based on a force model and the IMU data.
Claims20
A method for force measurement using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- causing a vibration motor of the mobile device to vibrate;
- acquiring, using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the mobile device, IMU data indicative of vibration damping that is caused by a user applying a force on the mobile device;
- and
- determining the applied force based on a force model and the IMU data.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a vibration motor, an inertial motion unit (IMU), a processor, and non-transitory computer-readable memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
- causing the vibration motor to vibrate;
- acquiring, using the IMU of the mobile device, IMU data indicative of vibration damping that is caused by a user applying a force on the mobile device;
- and
- determining the applied force based on a force model and the IMU data.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to perform operations including:
- causing a vibration motor of the mobile device to vibrate;
- acquiring, using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the mobile device, IMU data indicative of vibration damping that is caused by a user applying a force on the mobile device;
- and
- determining the applied force based on a force model and the IMU data.
