Abstract

An exercise apparatus is disclosed. The exercise apparatus includes: one or more camera sensors configured to capture biometric signals from a user of the exercise apparatus; —a computer vision system configured to measure the captured biometric signals reflecting a first performance level of the user; —one or more additional sensors configured to capture data reflecting a second performance level of the user; and—a processor configured to compare the first performance level of the user with the second performance level of the user to verify the user's performance on the exercise apparatus.

Claims (20)

1 . An exercise apparatus comprising:

one or more camera sensors configured to capture biometric signals from a user of the exercise apparatus;

a computer vision system configured to measure the captured biometric signals reflecting a first performance level of the user;

one or more additional sensors configured to capture data reflecting a second performance level of the user; and

a processor configured to compare the first performance level of the user with the second performance level of the user to verify the user's performance on the exercise apparatus;

wherein the computer vision system is configured to perform one or more functions including face and body feature detection, motion detection, time-of-flight sensing, stereoscopic triangulation to perceive depth, and photoplethysmography to perceive variations light transmission through skin.

2 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the biometric signals comprise one or more of body motion patterns, heart-rate, cardiovascular circulation, perspiration detection, and blood-oxygen levels.

3 . The exercise apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the biometric signals comprise body motion pattern when the user exercises on the exercise apparatus; and

wherein the one or more additional sensors comprise an ergometer configured to measure a force exerted during the user's exercise.

4 . The exercise apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the body motion pattern aligns with an expected body motion pattern that corresponds to the force measured by the ergometer.

5 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more camera sensors are positioned on the exercise apparatus to allow for close skin contact with the user.

6 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more additional sensors comprise one or more of cadence sensor, wattage gauge, pressure sensor, rotation sensor, position sensor, and vibration sensor.

7 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether body motion patterns and an amount of perspiration detected by different sensors of the exercise apparatus are consistent with a same performance level.

8 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein data from the computer vision system and the one or more additional sensors are transmitted to a remote computer for processing.

9 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer vision system configured to measure a first set of biometric signals and a second set of biometric signals; and wherein the processor is configured to cross-check the first and second sets of biometric signals with each other to verify the user's performance on the exercise apparatus.

10 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the exercise apparatus comprises a plurality of performance verification settings.

11 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the first or second performance data with a baseline performance data.

12 . The exercise apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, if the computer vision system detects a number of people in proximity of the exercise apparatus, the processor triggers an alert about the user's performance.

13 . The exercise apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to send the alert for further review.
