1. A system for encouraging a user to perform substantial body movement, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to detect substantial body movement of a user;
a display configured to display a moving animated character; and
a processing system configured to cause the display to display the animated character performing substantial body movement that mimics the substantial body movement detected by the one or more sensors.

Abstract
A system for encouraging a user to perform substantial physical activity. The system may include sensors that may be worn by the user while the user is performing a substantial physical activity, such as running or playing basketball. The sensors may detect the magnitude of the physical activity and may transmit data regarding the physical activity to a processing system. The processing system may display a reward to encourage the user for participating in physical activity and the reward provided may be based on the physical activity of the user.

2. A system for encouraging a user to perform substantial body movement, comprising:
-
one or more sensors configured to detect substantial body movement of a user; and a processing system that; contains physical motion-recognition algorithms that are configured to determine the type of the substantial body movement that the one or more sensors detect the user is performing; and is configured to determine a reward for the user based on the type of substantial body movement that the physical motion-recognition algorithms determine the user is performing. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. Non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage media containing a program of instructions containing algorithms configured to cause a computer processing system running the program of instructions to encourage a user to perform substantial body movement by causing a display to display an animated character performing substantial body movement that mimics the substantial body movement of the user as detected by one or more sensors.

11. Non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage media containing a program of instructions containing algorithms configured to encourage a user to perform substantial body movement by causing a computer processing system running the program of instructions to:
-
determine the type of substantial body movement that one or more sensors detect a user is performing using physical-motion recognition algorithms; and determine and provide a reward for the user based on the type of substantial body movement that the physical motion-recognition algorithms determine the user is performing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
