Dual-Camera Exercise Recording for Remote Technique Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current solutions for remote physical exercise supervision lack live feedback and are often expensive or limited by geography, making it difficult for individuals to access professional guidance, especially in rural areas, leading to potential injuries and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A system using dual cameras to record exercises from multiple angles, with video analysis capabilities, including AI models to provide real-time feedback and store data for training, allowing remote access to physical health professionals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If in-person supervision by physical health professionals is provided, then exercise technique accuracy and safety are improved, but accessibility and cost are worsened due to geographic limitations and high prices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses video recording devices to create visual copies of exercise performance from multiple angles. These video copies enable remote professionals to analyze technique without physical presence, and allow users to review their own performance repeatedly, eliminating geographic barriers while maintaining assessment accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces video recording devices and compilation software as intermediaries between the user and the physical health professional. The system captures exercise footage, compiles it into synchronized multi-angle videos, and transmits them for remote analysis, enabling professional guidance without direct physical interaction
2Measurement precision
If multiple cameras are used to record exercises from different angles, then video analysis quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple video streams from different cameras into a single synchronized compilation video. The system merges the footage with proper timing alignment, allowing comprehensive multi-angle analysis while presenting a unified video file that is easy to store, transmit, and review
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the video recording system to serve multiple functions: capturing exercise technique from multiple angles, providing real-time feedback to users, enabling remote professional analysis, and creating a permanent record for future reference. This multi-functionality justifies the use of multiple cameras and compilation capabilities
Data Source
AI summary
A dual video recording system and method can capture simultaneous multiple angles of exercises using a first and a second camera for recording video and a processor that compiles the video data from the first and second cameras. The compiled video may be analyzed by transmitting it to a physical health professional for analysis, transmitting it to an artificial intelligence capability for training a machine learning model and/or for analysis by a machine learning model, or may be analyzed by the processor. The analysis may include generating a stick figure model representing the exercise actions, and this model may be used to generate the graphic interpretation overlaid over video of the exercise to provide feedback.
