First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for determining performance characteristics of a user, the system comprising:
- an inertial sensor for coupling with the user and generating one or more signals corresponding to striding motion of the user'"'"'s torso; and
a processing system in communication with the inertial sensor and operable to use the one or more signals to determine vertical torso displacement.

Abstract
A system for determining user performance characteristics includes an inertial sensor and a processing system. The inertial sensor may be coupled with the user'"'"'s torso and generates one or more signals corresponding to the motion of the user'"'"'s torso. The processing system is in communication with the inertial sensor and is operable to use the one or more signals to determine one or more user performance characteristics. The user performance characteristics may include speed, cadence, time energy cost, distance energy cost and acceleration energy cost.

17. A method of determining user performance characteristics, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with a processing system, one or more signals corresponding to the user'"'"'s torso motion, the one or more signals being generated by an inertial sensor coupled with the user; determining, with the processing system, vertical torso displacement using the one or more signals; and presenting a visual indication of a user performance characteristic associated with the determined vertical torso displacement. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
