Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for an electronic device that uses a camera to record video of a person exercising. The system analyzes the video to identify the person's movements and compares them against a standard reference motion to detect differences in speed, timing, or repetition count.

Why it mattersThis technology could help fitness apps provide real-time feedback on whether users are performing workouts correctly, improving safety and effectiveness without needing wearable sensors.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes: a memory including at least one instruction, a processor coupled with the memory and configured to control the electronic apparatus, and the processor is configured, by executing the at least one instruction, to: obtain a moving image, identify a person and pose data of the person from a plurality of frames in the moving image, obtain exercise pattern information corresponding to the plurality of frames using pose data of the identified person, recognize an exercise motion of the identified person by inputting at least one frame of the moving image into at least one neural network model, and obtain exercise feature information corresponding to the recognized exercise motion, identify, based on the exercise feature information and the exercise pattern information, a first frame interval and a second frame interval different from the first frame interval from among the plurality of frames in the moving image, and provide information on an exercise motion corresponding to the second frame interval by comparing the first frame interval with the second frame interval.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a memory including at least one instruction; and a processor coupled with the memory and configured to control the electronic apparatus, wherein the processor is configured, by executing the at least one instruction, to: obtain a moving image, identify a first frame interval from among the plurality of frames of the moving image, the first frame interval corresponding to an exercise motion of a reference state, identify a second frame interval from among the plurality of frames in the moving image, the second frame interval corresponding to an exercise motion being performed by a user, identify a difference value of exercise pattern information of the first frame interval and the second frame interval, wherein exercise pattern information comprises at least one of speed information, period information, number of times information, and the exercise motion of the user, and provide information corresponding to the difference value.
