System and method for identifying and interpreting repetitive motions

A method for interpreting repetitive movements performed by a user of a motion tracking device, the method comprising:

• receiving motion data from the motion tracking device, the motion data representing motions performed by the user of the motion tracking device associated with a repetitive movement;
• determining, based on the motion data and the repetitive movement, a form with which the user performs the repetitive movement;
• identifying one or more features in the motion data associated with the repetitive movement;
• generating improper movement data based on the identified one or more features;
• storing the improper movement data in a movement database;
• generating feedback based on the determined form with which the user performs the repetitive motion, the feedback notifying the user of the form with which the user is performing the repetitive movement;
• and
• providing the feedback to the user, wherein the feedback includes information about the improper movement data.

A method for interpreting repetitive movements performed by a user of a motion tracking device, the method comprising:

• receiving motion data from the motion tracking device, the motion data representing motions performed by the user of the motion tracking device associated with a repetitive movement;
• determining, based on the motion data and the repetitive movement, a form with which the user performs the repetitive movement;
• determining, based on the motion data, a change associated with the repetitive movement, the change representing a difficulty experienced by the user while performing the repetitive movement, or a portion of the repetitive movement;
• and
• generating feedback based on the determined form with which the user performs the repetitive motion and based on the determined change associated with the repetitive movement;
• and
• providing the feedback to the user.

A method for monitoring movements performed by a user of a motion tracking device, the method comprising:

• receiving motion data from the motion tracking device, the motion data representing movements performed by the user of the motion tracking device;
• identifying, one or more features in one or more signals of the motion data;
• monitoring, based on the one or more features, a routine performed by the user;
• including:
• identifying, based on the one or more features, one or more steps of the monitored routine performed by the user;
• and
• determining, based on the one or more identified steps, if the user missed a step associated with the monitored routine;
• generating feedback based on the monitored routine;
• and
• providing the feedback for display to the user.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive motion data from the motion tracking device, the motion data representing motions performed by the user of the motion tracking device associated with a repetitive movement;
• determine, based on the motion data and the repetitive movement, a form with which the user performs the repetitive movement, comprising:
• identify repetitive features in one or more signals of the motion data;
• compare the repetitive features with correct movement data associated with the repetitive movement;
• and
• determine, based on the comparison, the form with which the user is performing the repetitive movement;
• generate feedback based on the determined form with which the user performs the repetitive motion, the feedback notifying the user of the form with which the user is performing the repetitive movement;
• and
• provide the feedback for display to the user.
