7. A workstation injury avoidance method comprising:
-
presenting to a user of a computing system, by a processor of the computing system, a plurality of inquiries to determine a workstation environment of the user; receiving, by the processor of the computing system, input from the user of the computing system, wherein the input are answers to the plurality of inquiries to determine the workstation environment of the user; determining, by the processor of the computing system, the workstation environment of the user, wherein the determination of the workstation environment analyzes one or more factors of privacy, available space, and comfortability; generating, by the processor of the computing system, at least a first set of exercises and a second set of exercises customizably associated with the workstation environment of the user; presenting, by the processor of the computing system, a reminder to the user of the computing system after an interval of work, wherein the interval of work includes use of the computing system for a first period of time; receiving, by the processor of the computing system, an action by the user, wherein the action includes at least one of an acceptance, a postponement, and a cancellation of the reminder; instructing the user of the computing system, by the processor of the computing system, to perform at least one of a first set of exercises or a second set of exercises customizably associated with the workstation environment of the user for a second period of time; and returning, by the processor of the computer system, after the expiration of the second period of time, to a dormant mode until another interval of work occurs. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
