INTERPRETING ANGULAR ORIENTATION DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of interpreting angular orientation data, comprising the steps of:
- receiving angular orientation data from a sensor device (12), said angular orientation data comprising information about a current angular orientation (C) in space of the sensor device (12) relative to a reference orientation; and
determining whether the angular deviation of the current angular orientation (C) from a last extreme angular orientation (L) currently decreases after having increased before up to a provisional new extreme angular orientation (P), thereby determining that the provisional new extreme angular orientation (P) is a new extreme angular orientation;

Abstract
The invention relates to method and a system of interpreting angular orientation data. It is determined, whether the angular deviation of a current angular orientation (C) of a sensor device (12) from a last extreme angular orientation (L) currently decreases after having increased before up to a provisional new extreme angular orientation (P), thereby determining that the provisional new extreme angular orientation (P) is a new extreme angular orientation. Information relating to a new extreme angular orientation, such as an angular range of motion, may be output to a user.

8. A system for interpreting angular orientation data of a body part, the system comprising:
-
a sensor device (12) for being attached to the body part; and an interpreter device (18), the interpreter device being arranged for; receiving angular orientation data from the sensor device (12), said angular orientation data comprising information about a current angular orientation (C) in space of the sensor device (12) relative to a reference orientation; and determining whether the angular deviation of the current angular orientation (C) from a last extreme angular orientation (L) currently decreases after having increased before up to a provisional new extreme angular orientation (P), thereby determining that the provisional new extreme angular orientation (P) is a new extreme angular orientation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
