Apparatus and method for detecting and classifying so as to be able to evaluate and self-evaluate exercises

This patent regards a system useful for body training. A pre-imposed routine visualize qualitatively and quantitatively postures, static and/or dynamic, which the user is asked to perform (for instance according to a pre-defined workload) The visualization can be realized, for instance, by an ad-hoc complex / detailed avatar on a computer screen. The quantitative information can be furnished, for instance, by simple numerical values and / or by scale indicators. The user is asked to don a wearable sensorized system useful to quantify the static and/or dynamic postures. The system can be limited only to a reduced part of the body (only one hand, the knees, the neck, …) or to the total body. Sensors / transducers, electronic circuitry, wired and/or wireless system, furnish measured data to a computer (laptop, desktop, netbook, palmtop, handheld device, ..). Data values can be conditioned, stored, digitalized, .. Algorithms / Analyzers / Classificators recognize the postures assumed by the user, so data are utilized by hardware / firmware / software to classify gestures and/or movements performed by the user. The system provides qualitative and quantitative (numerical) values to the user to evaluate his/her performs. The system can be capable to furnish suggestions how to improve the user performance. From recorded data can be possible to: • Reproduce the real time situation • Analyze user postures (static and/or dynamic) in modality: play, pause, fast forward, rewind, frame-by-frame, .. • Reproduce the real situation by an avatar which can be rotated and zoomed in every possible directions In addiction one (or more) avatar can visually reproduce/proposes the pre-imposed routine of the static/dynamic postures the user is asked to perform, and (even superimposed) a second (or more) avatar can reproduce the real postures of the user, so he/her can easily auto-evaluate himself/herself if his/her movements correspond to the pre-imposed ones.
