REMOTE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE
First Claim
1. A remote movement guidance system, comprising:
- a remote control device configured to guide a user'"'"'s physical movements by transmitting real-time movement signals that are to be translated into haptic instructions,wherein the real-time movement signals include velocity signal components to indicate a change in velocity for the user'"'"'s next physical movement; and
cooperative actuators configured to be worn by the user to translate the movement signals received from the remote control into the haptic instructions and to provide movement guidance in the form of a tactile stimulus,wherein the movement signals are to be translated into the haptic instructions for physical movements of any limb or extremity of the user in either of a vertical direction or a horizontal direction,wherein the movement signals, after a first of the movement signals, are transmitted prior to completion of an immediately previous physical movement,wherein the movement signals include horizontal and vertical directional signal components that indicate the horizontal and vertical direction for the user'"'"'s next physical movement,wherein further the haptic instructions translated from the horizontal and vertical directional signal components differ in either duration or magnitude, andwherein the movement signals include horizontal directional signal components that indicate the horizontal direction for the user'"'"'s next physical movement,wherein further the haptic instructions translated from the horizontal directional signal components differ in either duration or magnitude.

Abstract
In one example of a user-guidance system, a remote control may be configured to guide a user'"'"'s physical movements by transmitting movement signals that are to be translated into haptic instructions, and cooperative actuators may be configured to be worn by the user to translate the movement signals received from the remote control into the haptic instructions. The movement signals may be translated into the haptic instructions for physical movements of any limb or extremity of the user in either of a vertical direction or a horizontal direction; after the first movement signal, the movement signals may be transmitted prior to completion of an immediately previous physical movement; and the movement signals may include horizontal and vertical directional signal components that indicate the horizontal and vertical direction for the user'"'"'s next physical movement. The haptic instructions that are translated from the horizontal and vertical directional signal components may differ in either duration or magnitude. The movement signals may include horizontal directional signal components that indicate the horizontal direction for the user'"'"'s next physical movement, and the haptic instructions that are translated from the horizontal directional signal components may differ in either duration or magnitude.

19. A computer-readable medium that stores one or more executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
-
produce signals in real-time to guide movements of a user'"'"'s limbs or extremities, wherein the signals include velocity signal components to indicate a change in velocity for the user'"'"'s next physical movement; and transmit the signals to a receiver at which the signals are to be translated into coordinated prompts to guide the movements of the user'"'"'s limbs or extremities, wherein the signals are to be translated into coordinated prompts to guide the movements of the user'"'"'s limbs or extremities in either of a vertical direction or a horizontal direction, wherein the signals, after a first of the signals, are to be transmitted prior to completion of an immediately previous movement, wherein the signals include horizontal and vertical directional signal components that indicate the horizontal and vertical direction for the user'"'"'s next movement, wherein further the coordinated prompts translated from the horizontal and vertical directional signal components differ in either duration or magnitude, wherein the signals include horizontal directional signal components that indicate the horizontal direction for the user'"'"'s next movement, and wherein further the coordinated prompts translated from the horizontal directional signal components differ in either duration or magnitude. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
