Latest Patent Applications

Michelle Hessel's latest patent applications include "Repetition Counting Within Connected Fitness Systems." This application describes various systems and methods that enhance exercise or other physical activities performed by users. In some embodiments, the repetition counting systems can track, monitor, count, or determine the number of repetitions of movements performed by a user during an exercise activity, such as an interval-based exercise class. For example, the system can utilize classification or matching techniques to determine that a certain number of repetitions of a given movement or exercise are performed by the user during a round or segment, and perform an action for the exercise class.

Another significant application is "Workout Intensity Metrics for Users of a Connected Fitness Platform." This application outlines systems and methods that determine a 'strive score,' 'effort score,' and other metrics representing intensity levels or effort levels for users as they perform different workouts or exercise activities. The systems can monitor the user's heart rate to determine both specific and overall intensities or efforts expended by the user when performing various activities. These metrics can be used to present visual graphics or indicia that inform users of their current effort within an exercise class or activity.
