Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with instruction production are described. In one example, a system can comprise a difference component that makes an identification of a difference between an actual action of a user and a standard action for the user. The system also can comprise an instruction component that produces an instruction to instruct the user to change from the action of the user to the standard action for the user, where production of the instruction is based, at least in part, on the difference. The system further can comprise a non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to retain the instruction. Additionally, the system can comprise an output component configured to cause disclosure of the instruction.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a housing, comprising;

a sensor that, at least partially, captures an actual action of a user; and

a component set that receives the actual action of the user, the component set comprising;

a score component configured to assign a score to at least one aspect of the actual action of the user;

a selection component configured to select a training plan for the user from a training plan set comprising a first training plan and a second training plan, where the selection is based, at least in part, on the score; and

an output component configured to cause the selected training plan to be presented to the user.

2. The system of claim 1, comprising:

a reception component configured to receive an indication that the user desires for the selected training plan to be a current training plan for the user; and

an appointment component configured to appoint the selected training plan as a current training plan for the user,

where the output component being configured to cause the selected training plan to be presented to the user comprises being configured to cause the selected training plan to be recommended to the user.

3. The system of claim 2, the component set comprising:

a reception component configured to receive a training plan change request to replace the current training plan with a user chosen training plan; and

an update component configured to replace the current plan with the user chosen training plan,

where the user chosen training plan is different from the selected training plan.

4. The system of claim 1,

where the at least one aspect comprises a hand speed during at least part of the actual action of the user,

where the at least one aspect comprises a physical range of motion during at least part of the actual action of the user, and

where the score accounts for the hand speed and the physical range.

5. The system of claim 1, where the sensor comprises a camera that captures the actual action of the user through video monitoring.

6. The system of claim 1, the housing comprising

hardware configured to couple the housing to a glove of the user, where the sensor comprises a motion sensor that captures the actual action of the user through motion capture.

7. The system of claim 1,

where the training plan comprises an option for the user to view a video of a professional athlete.

8. The system of claim 1,

where the actual action of the user comprises a first sporting swing with a piece of sports equipment and a second sporting swing with the piece of sports equipment.

9. The system of claim 1,

where the sensor captures the actual action of a user as a three dimensional action.

10. The system of claim 1, comprising:

a disclosure component configured to cause disclosure of the score to the user.

11. A system comprising hardware communicatively coupled to a sensor that captures an actual action of a user and performing a method, the method comprising:

evaluating the actual action of the user to produce an evaluation result;

making a recommendation of a first training plan for the user, from a training plan set comprising the first training plan and a second training plan, that is based, at least in part, on the evaluation result;

appointing the recommended training plan as a current training plan of the user;

obtaining a feedback with regard to a progress of the user upon the recommended training plan;

analyzing the feedback to produce a feedback result; and

making a recommendation of the second training plan for the user based, at least in part, on the feedback result.

12. The system of claim 11,

where the second training plan is a more difficult training plan from the first training plan.

13. The system of claim 11,

where the feedback is that the user completes the first training plan,

where the second training plan is a more advanced training plan from the first training plan, and

where the first training plan and the second training plan are directed to the same skill set.

14. The system of claim 11, the method comprising:

identifying a user acceptance of the recommended training plan,

where the recommended training plan is appointed in response to the identification of the user acceptance.

15. The system of claim 11, where evaluating the actual action of the user to produce the evaluation result comprises:

evaluating a first actual action of the user performing a task to produce a first evaluation result;

evaluating a second actual action of the user performing the task to produce a second evaluation result; and

aggregating the first evaluation result and the second evaluation result in production of the evaluation result,

where the task is swinging a piece of sports equipment designed to strike a ball.

16. The system of claim 11,

where the actual action of the user is the user performing a task and

where evaluating the actual action of the user to produce the evaluation result comprises an evaluation of a desired outcome for the user performing the task.

17. The system of claim 11,

where the feedback with regard to the progress of the user upon the recommended training plan is after the user beings the recommended training plan and before the user completes the recommended training plan.

18. A method, comprising:

receiving an actual action of a user;

evaluating the actual action of the user to produce an evaluation result;

making a recommendation of a first training plan for the user, from a training plan set comprising the first training plan and a second training plan, that is based, at least in part, on the evaluation result;

receiving a rejection for the recommendation of the first training plan; and

appointing the second training plan as a current training plan of the user after the recommended training plan is rejected.

19. The method of claim 18, comprising:

disclosing the second training plan to the user after the receiving the rejection for the recommendation,

where the user provides the rejection for the recommendation of the first training plan, and

where the user designates the second training plan for appointment after the second training plan is disclosed.

20. The method of claim 18, comprising:

prompting the user to submit feedback,

where the feedback is communicated to a location remote to the user.
