The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program that make it possible to encourage a user to consume energy. The information processing apparatus includes a presentation control unit that controls presentation of energy consumption of a user in a time period from detection of a first trigger to detection of a second trigger. The first trigger causes energy consumption to be presented. The second trigger causes energy consumption to be presented. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a mobile information terminal such as a wearable device or a smartphone.

A medicine ball has a gyroscope housed inside a rotatable capsule, a user interface configured to receive a user input, a programmable controller, and a power source each communicatively coupled with the user interface. In operation, the power source supplies power to the gyroscope, the rotatable capsule, and the programmable controller in response to receiving the user input at the user interface. The programmable controller controls the movement of the gyroscope and the rotatable capsule in response to receiving the user input at the user interface.

Provided is a digital mat system for managing and analyzing cognitive and physical abilities of a user that is capable of managing and analyzing individual cognitive and physical abilities of a user (particularly the elderly) and providing a customized solution that matches individual abilities, thereby assisting in preventing geriatric diseases, such as falling and dementia.

Provided is a squat exercise system and a method for tracking squats performed that includes a bench component which functions as a landing for a user and a remote control system that controls operations performed by the squat exercise system and includes a remote control unit operating the squat exercise system, and a housing removably attached to an underside of the bench component that includes a power supply unit supplying power, a sensing device which senses a body part of the user when within a predetermined distance from the bench component and generates a signal, a processor/control unit that receives and processes the signal by the sensing device in communication therewith, and automatically tracks, in real-time a count of each successful squat completed and a total count thereof, and a notification unit in communication with the processing/control unit that generates a notification signal indicative of successful completion of a squat.

Provided is a device for pitch detection within user-defined zones. The device detects a first gesture at a first height based on first output from all or some sensors, and detects a second gesture at a second height based on second output from all or some sensors. The device sets a top and bottom of the user-defined zone based on the first height and the second height, and tracks a location of an object relative to the user-defined zone based on third output, from a subset of sensors, that is generated in response to the object moving over or under the subset of sensors. The device discards output generated from two or more sensors that are not adjacent, measurements from adjacent sensors that differ by more than a distance threshold, and/or output from adjacent sensors with timestamps that differ by more than a time threshold.

Posture training systems provide hands-free shoulder and back\spine alignment assistance for facilitating correct posture and alignment of the shoulders and spine of an athlete throughout swing or other physical rotational movements, and methods of their use. The posture training systems include vests that provide information during and throughout the rotational movement about spine-tilt angle relative to the ground, plane of the shoulders during torso rotation, perpendicularity between the spine and a line drawn between the shoulders, as well as departures from or maintenance of any of the initial parameters.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.

The present invention provides a gaming system for playing a boxing inspired game. The gaming device includes two vests that communicate with each other and keep score via wireless technology. The game is played by two players at a time with the general objective being for a player to hit their opponent's vest as many times as possible within the designated time period. The device allows players to engage in three different modes. Score tracking is announced by audio and does not require any additional devices for viewing the score.

An exercise system may include an exercise mat; sensors integrated into the exercise mat, each of the sensors configured to sense when a force is applied to a respective portion of the exercise mat; and displays coupled to the exercise mat and configured to display indications corresponding to desired locations for body parts of a user in accordance with an exercise routine. On one or more of the displays, indications corresponding to desired locations of a user's body part may be displayed in accordance with a form of one of stored exercise routines; and one or more of the sensors may sense an application of force to the exercise mat. One or more of the displays may display at least one marker identifying a direction from a location of the sensed application of force to a display location of the at least one of the indications.

The present system (10) comprises a subject interface (22), a segmenter (12), a loosener (14), sensors (18), and computer processors (28). The segmenter is configured to selectively control gas flow through the subject interface to provide high amplitude pressure oscillations (44) during exhalation such that the high amplitude pressure oscillations aid cough productivity in the subject. The loosener controls gas flow through the subject interface to provide low amplitude pressure oscillations (43, 63) during inhalation (48, 68) and exhalation (49) such that the low amplitude pressure oscillations loosen respiratory secretions. The computer processors detect trigger events based on the output signals such that the one or more trigger events include a loosening trigger event and a segmenting trigger event (66); and responsive to detecting the loosening trigger event, control the loosener to provide the low amplitude pressure oscillations, and, responsive to detecting the segmenting trigger event, control the segmenter to provide the high amplitude pressure oscillations.
