Abstract

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive a series of position updates, wherein the series of position updates is associated with motion of a user performing an exercise movement;
based at least in part on the series of position updates, detect a change in direction; and
when determining whether at least a portion of a repetition of the exercise movement has been completed, determine that the detected change in direction should be ignored based at least in part on a determination that the change in direction does not comply with a threshold.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a range of motion for the exercise movement, and wherein the determination of whether the at least is portion of the repetition of the exercise movement has been completed is based at least in part on the range of motion.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on the range of motion, that the at least portion of the repetition of the exercise movement has been completed.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the range of motion comprises a start point and an end point.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein determining the range of motion further comprises determining a difference between the start point and the end point.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to update the start point and the end point of the range of motion.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the start point and the end point are updated with a repetition.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein updating the start point and the end point comprises determining at least one of an average, a moving average, or a weighted average of a plurality of previously recorded samples of start points and end points.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of previously recorded samples includes at least one sample from a previous set.

10. The system of claim 4 , wherein the range of motion further comprises a stride length.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect a change in stride.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a percent range of motion, the percent range of motion comprising a representation of position as a percent of the range of motion.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on the percent range of motion, a transition from a concentric phase of the exercise movement to an eccentric phase of the exercise movement.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transition from the concentric phase of the exercise is movement to the eccentric phase of the exercise movement is determined at least in part by determining that the percent range of motion has changed from increasing to decreasing.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on the percent range of motion, a transition from an eccentric phase of the exercise movement to a concentric phase of the exercise movement.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transition from the eccentric phase of the exercise movement to the concentric phase of the exercise movement is determined at least in part by determining that the percent range of motion has changed from decreasing to increasing.

17. A method, comprising:
receiving a series of position updates, wherein the series of position updates is associated with motion of a user performing an exercise movement;
based at least in part on the series of position updates, detecting a change in direction; and
when determining whether at least a portion of a repetition of the exercise movement has been completed, determining that the detected change in direction should be ignored based at least in part on a determination that the change in direction does not comply with a threshold.
