System, apparel, and method for identifying performance of workout routines
First Claim
1. A system for automatically identifying performance of workout routines, comprising:
- a set of sensors each being wearable at one or more specified locations on a body of an exerciser during a performance of a plurality of exercises, each one of the set of sensors configured to measure a parameter of one or more aspects of the performance during said performance, the parameter selected from a group consisting of motion, acceleration, position relative to one or more others of said set of sensors, and applied force, and each one of the set of sensors configured to communicate parameters measured; and
a device configured to receive a set of parameters measured over a period of time by the set of sensors and configured to access stored pattern information corresponding to a plurality of predetermined exercise activities and a plurality of predetermined workout routines;
the device further configured, based on the stored pattern information and the set of parameters measured over at least a portion of the period of time, to identify one or more performed exercise activities performed by the exerciser during the period of time; and
the device further configured, based on the stored pattern information and the performed exercise activities, to identify a performed workout routine performed by the exerciser during the period of time; and
wherein the set of sensors includes at least one sensor disposed on footwear adapted to be worn on a foot of the exerciser, said at least one sensor disposed on footwear including a sensor adapted to be positioned in an outward-facing position for detecting bearing of weight associated with a prone position of the exerciser during the performance of a push-up, on a front of the footwear corresponding to front of toes of the exerciser.

Abstract
A system for automatically identifying performance of workout routines is provided. The system includes a set of sensors wearable on a body of an exerciser during performance of exercises. Each sensor is configured to measure a parameter selected from motion, acceleration, position, and applied force, and to communicate parameters measured. The system also includes a device configured to receive a set of parameters measured over a period of time by the set of sensors and to access stored pattern information corresponding to a plurality of predetermined exercise activities and a plurality of predetermined workout routines to identify one or more performed exercise activities performed by the exerciser and to identify a performed workout routine performed by the exerciser during the period of time. Apparel and methods are also disclosed.
