11806600 · 2023-11-07 · ·

Methods, systems, and techniques for automated detection of goals and announcement of same are provided. The system includes a modified hockey puck and a set of goal units that can be mounted on a hockey goal. Within the puck are light sources, motion sensors, infrared transmitters, and a power source. Within the goal units are light sources, infrared sensors, and a microcontroller. When the goal units are mounted on the hockey goal, the infrared sensors form a detection area through which the puck must pass in order to count as a goal. The infrared transmitter of the puck and the infrared sensors of the goal units communicate with one another, and, when an infrared signal is received, the microcontroller automatically triggers one or more annunciator devices, such as visual, auditory, or haptic devices, to automatically indicate that a goal has been scored without human intervention.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY PROVIDING AND MONITORING PHYSICAL THERAPY
20230347210 · 2023-11-02 ·

An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for use in performing, monitoring, and evaluating the performance of therapeutic exercises. The apparatus includes a human-device interface and a motion sensor. In response to movement of the human-device interface, a controller receives motion data from the motion sensor, and transmits the motion data to a computing device. Based on the motion data, the computing device displays a graphical element that depicts the movement. The computing device compares the movement to a target motion, and if the movement matches the target motion, displays a graphical element indicating an exercise is being performed properly. If the movement does not match the target motion, the computing device indicates the exercise is not being performed properly and displays another graphical element indicating how to correct the motion.
