Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Physical activity encompasses all activities, at any intensity, performed during any time of day or night. It includes exercise and incidental activity integrated into daily activity. This integrated activity may not be planned, structured, repetitive or purposeful for the improvement of fitness, and may include activities such as walking to the local shop, cleaning, working, active transport etc. Lack of physical activity is associated with a range of negative health outcomes whereas increased physical activity can improve physical as well as mental health.

Adult product user physiological state recognition method based on multi-sensor data collection

This invention discloses a method for identifying the physiological state of adult product users based on multi-sensor data acquisition, relating to the fields of intelligent health monitoring and biosignal processing technology. This invention uses non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) technology to decompose multi-channel non-steady-state electromyographic signals collected from the pelvic floor and core muscle groups into multiple muscle coercive elements and their temporal activation coefficients. Each coercive element represents a fixed pattern of muscle cooperating under neural drive, while the activation coefficient reflects the change of this pattern over time. Sexual arousal, as a specific neurophysiological process, induces the activation of coercive elements with specific spatiotemporal patterns. By tracking the activation and evolution of specific coercive patterns, the neural control fingerprint reflecting sexual arousal is extracted from the original signal contaminated by motion noise. This effectively distinguishes between ordinary muscle contractions caused by device use and physical activity and autonomous neuromuscular activities related to sexual responses, overcoming the defects of susceptibility to interference and insufficient specificity.
