Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with instruction production are described. In one example, a system can comprise a difference component that makes an identification of a difference between an actual action of a user and a standard action for the user. The system also can comprise an instruction component that produces an instruction to instruct the user to change from the action of the user to the standard action for the user, where production of the instruction is based, at least in part, on the difference. The system further can comprise a non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to retain the instruction. Additionally, the system can comprise an output component configured to cause disclosure of the instruction.

where the sensor, at least partially, captures the actual action of the user during a test phase and, at least partially, captures the actual action of the user during a plan following the test phase,

where the communication component receives a sensor data set that, at least partially, communicates the actual action of the user during the test phase and the actual action of the user during the plan following the test phase,

where the component set comprises a score component configured to assign a first score to a first aspect of the actual action of user during the test phase and a second score to a second aspect of the actual action of the user during the test phase,

where the first aspect is a speed of the user,

where the second aspect a range of motion of the user,

where the score component calculates an aggregate score for the user through employment of the first score and the second score,

where the component set comprises a selection component configured to select a first training plan for the user that corresponds to the aggregate score,

where the first training plan is selected from a training plan set comprising the first training plan and a second training plan,

where the component set comprises an output component configured to cause the first training plan to be presented to the user, by way of a display, as a recommended training plan,

where the component set comprises a surveillance component configured to identify that the user successfully follows the first training plan, and

where the selection component is configured to select the second training plan for the user after the surveillance component identifies that the user successfully followed the first training plan.

2. The system of claim 1,

where the speed comprises velocity.

3. The system of claim 1,

where the speed comprises acceleration.

4. The system of claim 1,

where the output component is configured to cause the second training plan to be presented to the user and

where the display is part of a mobile phone.

5. A system, comprising:

a score component configured to assign a score to at least one aspect of an actual action of a user, where the at least one aspect comprises a physical range of motion during at least part of the actual action of the user such that the score accounts for the physical range of motion;

a selection component configured to select a training plan for the user that corresponds to the score that accounts for the physical range of motion, where the selection component selects the selected training plan from a training plan set comprising a first training plan and a second training plan;

an output component configured to cause the selected training plan to be presented to a user, by way of a display as a recommended training plan;

a reception component configured to receive an indication, by way of the display, that the user desires for the selected training plan to be a current training plan for the user; and

an appointment component configured to appoint the selected training plan as the current training plan for the user in response to the indication that the user desires for the selected training plan to be the current training plan,

where the score component, the selection component, the output component, the reception component, the appointment component, or a combination thereof implement, at least in part, by way of non-software.

6. The system of claim 5, comprising:

a change component configured to receive a training plan change request to replace the current training plan with a user chosen training plan before completing of the current training plan; and

an update component configured to replace the current plan with the user chosen training plan,

where the user chosen training plan is different from the selected training plan.

7. The system of claim 5,

where a camera captures the actual action of the user through video monitoring.

8. The system of claim 5,

where a sensor captures the actual action of a user as a three dimensional action.

9. The system of claim 5, comprising:

a disclosure component configured to cause disclosure of the score to the user.

10. The system of claim 5, comprising:

an update component configured to prompt the user to submit feedback on the system,

where the system is embodied upon a personal electronic device, and

where the feedback is communicated to a location remote to the personal electronic device.

11. The system of claim 10,

where the feedback is based, at least in part, on an experience of the user with the appointed training plan.

12. The system of claim 5,

where the reception component is configured to receive an express indication that the user does not desire for the selected training plan to be the current training plan for the user and

where the appointment component is configured to not appoint the selected training plan as the current training plan in response to the indication that the user does not desire for the selected training plan to be the current training plan.

13. The system of claim 5,

where the selected training plan comprises a first instruction set directed at a first skill and a second instruction set directed at a second skill,

where the output component is configured to cause the first instruction set to be presented on the display, and

where the output component is configured to cause the second instruction set to be presented on the display.

14. The system of claim 13, comprising:

an identification component configured to identify when the user finishes with the first instruction set,

where a component set comprises the score component, the selection component, the output component, the reception component, and the appointment component

where the housing comprises a sensor that, at least partially, captures the actual action of a user during

where the housing comprises hardware that couples the housing to at least one of the user, equipment used by the user in performance of the actual action of the user, or a combination thereof, and
