Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods include a three-dimensional (3D) scanning element, an electronic data storage configured to store a database including fields for 3D scan data and demographic information, a processor, and a user interface. In an example, the processor obtains 3D scan data of a body part of a subject from the 3D scanning element, analyzes the 3D scan data for incomplete regions, generate a composite 3D image of 3D scan data from the database based on similarities of demographic information, and overlays composite 3D image regions corresponding to incomplete regions on the 3D scan data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a three-dimensional (3D) scanning element;
an electronic data storage configured to store a database including fields for 3D scan data and activity data;
a processor, coupled to the 3D scanning element and the electronic data storage, configured to:
determine changes between a first 3D scan data obtained at a first time and a second 3D scan data obtained at a second time;
obtain activity information from the database; and
determine a difference between the changes as determined and anticipated changes based on the activity information; and
a user interface, coupled to the processor, configured to present information indicative of the difference between the changes and the anticipated changes.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a recommendation to change at least one of an article of equipment or future user activities.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to a body part of a user and wherein the changes reflect a change in a physiological property of the body part.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the anticipated change is based on an article of equipment being utilized by the user in activities related to the activity information.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to an article of equipment and wherein the changes reflect wear on the article of equipment.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the anticipated change is based on a user using the article of equipment in activities related to the activity information.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to iteratively obtain additional 3D scan data at different times, determine the changes based on all obtained 3D scan data, and determine the difference changes and the anticipated changes.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions which, when implemented by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
determine changes between a first 3D scan data obtained at a first time and a second 3D scan data obtained at a second time;
obtain activity information from the database;
determine a difference between the changes as determined and anticipated changes based on the activity information; and
cause a user interface to present information indicative of the difference between the changes and the anticipated changes.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the information includes a recommendation to change at least one of an article of equipment or future user activities.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to a body part of a user and wherein the changes reflect a change in a physiological property of the body part.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the anticipated change is based on an article of equipment being utilized by the user in activities related to the activity information.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to an article of equipment and wherein the changes reflect wear on the article of equipment.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the anticipated change is based on a user using the article of equipment in activities related to the activity information.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions which cause the processor to iteratively obtain additional 3D scan data at different times, determine the changes based on all obtained 3D scan data, and determine the difference changes and the anticipated changes.

15. A processor-implemented method, comprising:
determining changes between a first 3D scan data and a second 3D scan data;
obtaining activity information from the database;
determining a difference between the changes as determined and anticipated changes based on the activity information; and
causing a user interface to present, information indicative of the difference between the changes and the anticipated changes.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the information includes a recommendation to change at least one of an article of equipment or future user activities.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to a body part of a user and wherein the changes reflect a change in a physiological property of the body part.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the anticipated change is based on an article of equipment being utilized by the user in activities related to the activity information.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first and second 3D scan data relates to an article of equipment and wherein the changes reflect wear on the article of equipment.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the anticipated change is based on a user using the article of equipment in activities related to the activity information.
