An exercise device of the type including a frame with a first crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a first axis and a second crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a second axis. A control system may be used in communication with the first crank assembly and the second crank assembly, which may provide a synchronous movement of the first crank assembly relative to the second crank assembly. A pedal arm may be provided with a first end pivotally coupled to the first crank assembly and a pedal positioned on a second end. A crank link may be used with one end coupled to the second crank assembly and a second end coupled to the pedal arm. The crank link may be movable on the pedal arm which may provide varying paths of motion of the pedals.

During a first time period and for a first user, a second user is automatically selected based on competitive data of the first user and competitive data of the second user, and a workout selection is sent to cause a video of a workout to be displayed during a second time period on a smart mirror of the first user and a smart mirror of the second user. During the second time period, a live stream of the first user exercising is displayed at the smart mirror of the second user, and a live stream of the second user exercising is received and displayed at the smart mirror of the first user. During the second time period, a performance score of the first user and a performance score of the second user is displayed at the smart mirrors of the first user and the second user.

A movement tracking device that includes a housing, a rotatable spool secured within the housing, a rotary sensor in operable communication with the spool, and a conductive wire configured to be repeatedly unspooled from and respooled onto the rotatable spool. The conductive wire has a distal end extendable from the housing. The movement tracking device also includes a plurality of resonators and a processor in communication with the plurality of resonators and the rotary sensor. The plurality of resonators are disposed in or on the housing and positioned about the conductive wire. Each of the plurality of resonators is configured to create one or more magnetic fields through which the conductive wire extends. The processor is configured to receive information from the plurality of resonators and the rotary sensor and determine a position of the conductive wire.

A system including a motorized base unit with a smart device mount for automatically orienting the smart device camera toward a moving target to track the moving target and take pictures or video. The target (e.g., a child playing soccer) wears a tracking tag comprising a GPS chip and transmitter packaged inside an athletic pad. The base unit includes a motorized mast for mounting a smart device. The base unit receives the transmitted GPS data, calculates updated pointing angle and angular velocity for the smart phone based on update location information from the remote tag sensor, calculates the correct angle that the smart phone should be pointed at, translates the new pointing directions to a control signal that turns the mast, which in turn causes the smart device camera to “follow” or track the target.

Methods and systems for real-time generation of ball shot analytics are disclosed. The methods and systems perform steps for ball and posture detection, ball and posture flow generation, shot event identification and classification, and shot analytics generation based on identified shot events and shooter posture flow. Embodiments of the present invention use computer vision techniques to enable a resource-limited mobile device such as a smartphone to conduct the aforementioned steps. Therefore, the present invention may be implemented using a processor on a single mobile computing device. Also disclosed are benefits of the new methods, and alternative embodiments of implementation.

A safety signal is sent to a relay coupled to a plurality of power leads of a motor wherein a default state of the relay is to short the plurality of power leads together and wherein the safety signal maintains the relay in an open state. The safety signal to the relay is deasserted in response to a determination that an unsafe condition has occurred.

A method includes capturing, using an Internet of Things (IoT) device, real-time video of a user performing an exercise associated with a first exercise class. Real-time video of the user is displayed, via a display, concurrently with video of an instructor, to provide a visual comparison of the user to the instructor. Image analysis of the real-time video of the user is performed to determine a performance of the user, and a representation thereof is displayed. Biometric data associated with the user is received at the IoT device from a wearable device at multiple points in time. Heart rates are identified based on the biometric data, and scores based on the heart rates are displayed via the display. A recommendation for a second exercise class different from the first exercise class is determined based on a profile of the user, and displayed via the display.

A user-specific workout can be generated by adjusting transform parameters of a user-agnostic training profile to conform to a user boundary specifying a user's ability to perform work. The user-agnostic training profile can be defined in a training space, specifying a power curve in a time domain whereas the user boundary can be defined in a boundary space, specifying amounts of user-produced work in a time window size domain. A training boundary can be generated based on the user-agnostic training profile by determining the largest area under the user-agnostic training profile power curve for various time window sizes, where each largest area under the user-agnostic training profile power curve produces a data point for the training boundary for that window size domain value. The training boundary can be transformed based on the user boundary, causing corresponding transformations to the user-agnostics training profile, converting it to a user-specific workout.

The present disclosure provides a method of providing customized training content and a user terminal for implementing the same for further increasing interest in exercise by providing training content in consideration of the physical ability and characteristics of a user and simultaneously allowing the user to easily know whether the user is exercising with a correct posture and method to continuously exercise at a pace suitable for a level of the user. The user terminal includes a display, a camera, and a controller configured to perform control to acquire information on a reference posture of a trainer appearing in an exercise content through artificial intelligence, to recognize an exercise posture of a user photographed through the camera through artificial intelligence while the exercise content is reproduced, and to adjust a reproduction speed of the exercise content based on the recognized exercise posture of the user.

An intelligent interactive real road simulation training device that simulates the real road grade and slope change while playing video based on the geographic location of the road from the pre-processed video and the speed of the user. With the video playing, the user sees the road moving as the user moves, and the speed of the road moving by is based upon the user's speed on the exercise training equipment. The user also feels the grade and slope change as the road grade and slope changes on the video. The invention can be integrated into any exercise training equipment such as a bicycle trainer or treadmill.
