Methods and Systems for Ergonomic Feedback Using an Image Analysis Module
First Claim
1. An ergonomic sensor module configured for use with a display device, the sensor module comprising:
- an image sensing device;
a processing element; and
an input/output interface,wherein the processing element is configured to obtain image data from the image sensing device and analyze the image data to determine, based on predefined data defining an ergonomic use range of the display device, whether the image data indicates that a user of the display is using the display within the ergonomic use range.

Abstract
A display device can be used with an ergonomic sensor comprising an imaging device interfaced to processing hardware to obtain and analyze image data depicting a user of the display device. The ergonomic sensor can be preconfigured with data indicating ergonomic uses of the display device so that the image of the user can be analyzed with minimal or no user calibration or setup. Instead, the ergonomic sensor can analyze the image data to provide real-time feedback, such as warnings or suggestions when the user'"'"'s behavior falls outside an ergonomic use range for the display device. In some implementations, the ergonomic sensor is integrated with the display device, though in other implementations a separate element or preexisting imaging device can be used.
