BODY MOTION TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A system for training of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace, comprising:
- an input device operable by the user in the workspace when performing the training exercise, the input device configured to provide the user with a physical feeling of an object normally used to perform the training exercise on a real or virtual assembly; and
a computer apparatus connectable with the input device, the computer apparatus having a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer readable code embodied therein, for execution by the computer apparatus for;
monitoring use of the input device by the user;
monitoring angles and spatial coordinates of the input device relative to a work piece and/or an organ of vision with a detection device and computing an organ of vision-object relation as a function of the angles and spatial coordinates;
computing a simulated dynamic environment in real time as a function of a training environment, the simulated dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects in the simulated dynamic environment as monitored from the input device and the detection device;
generating images of the simulated dynamic environment in real time on a display device as a function of the organ of vision-object relation, wherein the system has sufficient precision to allow certification of the user under a standard or code.

Abstract
The system allows training and qualification of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace. A training environment is selected through a computer apparatus, and variables, parameters and controls of the training environment and the training exercise are adjusted. Use of an input device by the user is monitored. The 3D angles and spatial coordinates of reference points related to the input device are monitored through a detection device. A simulated 3D dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects is computed in real time as a function of the training environment selected. Images of the simulated 3D dynamic environment in real time are generated on a display device viewable by the user as a function of a computed organ of vision-object relation. Data indicative of the actions performed by the user and the effects of the actions are recorded and user qualification is set as a function of the recorded data.

9. A computer-implemented method for training of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace, comprising performing with a computer:
-
monitoring with the computer use of an input device providing the user with a physical feeling of an object normally used to perform the training exercise on a real or virtual assembly; non-invasively measuring angles and spatial coordinates of reference points relative to the input device and/or an organ of vision of the user during performance of the training exercise, wherein measuring is performed with a detection device that comprises at least one emitter having a working envelop to track the location of the organ of vision of the user and the input device and at least one receiving sensor configured to receive the angles and spatial coordinates of reference points relative to an eye location and the input device; computing with the computer an organ of vision-object relation as a function of the angles and spatial coordinates; computing with the computer a simulated dynamic environment in real time as a function of the training environment selected, the simulated dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects in the simulated dynamic environment as tracked from the input device and the angles and spatial coordinates; and generating with the computer images of the simulated dynamic environment in real time on a display device viewable by the user of the training exercise as a function of the organ of vision-object relation, wherein the system has sufficient precision to allow certification of the user under a standard or code. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
