Samsung patents smart wearable that adjusts resistance to help you hit exercise goals
Samsung describes a system where a wearable device uses a neural network to analyze your movement data and estimate your performance. It then calculates a specific resistance level, or torque, needed to help you reach your target and sends that instruction to the device. The wearable applies this calculated force to assist or challenge your exercise in real time.
In the filing’s own words
A control method for controlling a wearable device on the basis of exercise data of a user, and/or an electronic device for performing same. An example control method may include: receiving a user input about an exercise goal; determining a torque parameter, associated with achieving the exercise goal, using a neural network model that uses feature data, associated with an exercise performed by a user wearing a wearable device, as input, and outputs an estimated exercise performance indicator; and transmitting a control signal including the determined torque parameter to the wearable device so that the wearable device generates torque on the basis of the determined torque parameter.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A control method of controlling a wearable device based on exercise data of a user, the control method comprising: receiving a user input for an exercise goal; determining a torque parameter related to achievement of the exercise goal at least by using a neural network model that receives, as an input, feature data related to an exercise performed by the user while wearing the wearable device and outputs an estimated exercise performance indicator; and transmitting a control signal including the determined torque parameter to the wearable device so that the wearable device generates torque based on the determined torque parameter.
