Training method and device
First Claim
1. A method of training using a training device that comprises a processor, said method comprising:
- said processor receiving signals from a training transducer;
said processor receiving, from a remote correspondent, training schedule data comprising a training schedule for exercises to be performed by a user;
said processor storing the training schedule data in a first memory;
said processor outputting a human perceptible signal in accordance with a feedback template, said human perceptible signal comprising data content relating to performance of the exercises by the user, said feedback template specifying a manner in which the data content is to be conveyed to the user;
said processor storing, in a second memory, output status data from which the human perceptible signal is generated;
said processor continuously(i) carrying out a determination, in real time as the user is performing the exercises, of whether the received signals satisfy criteria of conforming to the training schedule data; and
(ii) updating the training schedule data as a function of a result of said determination,wherein the training device further comprises the first memory and the second memory,wherein the training device further comprises a first output including a plurality of luminous transducers that may be independently illuminated or not illuminated, and wherein the method further comprises;
conveying the data content to the user in the human perceptible signal while an exercise of said exercises is being performed by the user, wherein the data content is feedback on how correct the exercise is being performed, and wherein the feedback on how correct the exercise being performed is conveyed to the user through a pattern of illumination of the luminous transducers.

Abstract
A training method and device. Signals are received from a training transducer. Training schedule data of exercises for a user is received from a remote correspondent. The training schedule data is stored in a first memory. A human perceptible signal, which is outputted in accordance with a feedback template, includes data content relating to performance of exercise by the user, said feedback template specifying a manner in which the data content is to be conveyed to the user. Output status data from which the human perceptible signal is generated is stored in a second memory. A determination of whether the received signals satisfy criteria of conforming to the training schedule data is continuously carried out in real time as the user is performing the exercises. The training schedule data is updated as a function of a result of the determination. The training device includes the first and second memory.
