Abstract:
1. A method for motion recognition from multiple data streams, the method comprising: receiving in the processing unit a motion signal with at least two component outputs from at least one motion sensitive device associated with a set of sensors including inertial sensors and non-inertial sensors; performing motion recognition with at least one of motion recognizers by classifying the motion signal, wherein at least one of the motion recognizers are constructed, prior to receiving the at least two component outputs, by a training set of motion signals created by an end user without reference to a predefined set of allowed motions, the training set of motion signals including a first set of motion signals characterizing at least one type of motion executed over a period of time, substantially all parameters needed to create at least one of motion recognizers that are ad-hoc are determined automatically; transforming the component outputs into device-independent motion signals by an operation including virtually changing locations of the sensors to corresponding locations of sensors used to generate the training set of motion signals; and applying the motion recognizers to the device-independent motion signals to provide a generalized motion recognition capability.
