Abstract
A body bar sensing system for sensing movement of a body bar may be provided. The body bar sensing system may include a housing having a coupling mechanism operative to couple to the body bar, a detector disposed within the housing and operative to sense movement of the body bar when the housing is coupled to the body bar, and a processor operative to determine a number of repetitions of the movement based on the sensed movement. The body bar sensing system may also include a display operative to display the determined number of repetitions of the movement to a user.
Claims20
A body bar sensing system, comprising:
- a housing having at least one detector for sensing a physical metric that indicates repeated movement of the housing when attached to the body bar;
- a processor configured to process the physical metric, over time, to determine repetitions thereof;
- and
- a display for informing a user of the repetitions.
A body bar sensing system for sensing movement of a body bar, the body bar sensing system comprising:
- a housing having a coupling mechanism operative to couple to the body bar;
- a detector disposed within the housing and operative to sense movement of the body bar when the housing is coupled to the body bar;
- and
- a processor operative to determine a number of repetitions of the movement based on the sensed movement.
A method for detecting repetitive movements of a body bar using a motion sensing system, the method comprising:
- detecting a physical metric associated with the body bar using a detector of the motion sensing system when the detector is coupled to the body bar;
- processing the detected physical metric to determine whether the detected physical metric indicates a repetitive motion of the body bar;
- determining a current number of repetitive movements of the body bar based on the processing;
- and
- providing the determined current number of repetitive movements to a user.
