Methods, systems, and computer program products for exercise monitoring and coaching using audio devices are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes processing a first set of one or more auditory prompts, wherein the first set of auditory prompts pertains to initiation of at least one activity with respect to a user; detecting, in connection with the first set of auditory prompts, one or more sets of movements being performed by the user, wherein said detecting comprises (i) emitting one or more acoustic waves towards the user and (ii) processing reflection of the one or more acoustic waves from the user; classifying, based on said detecting, the one or more sets of movements as one or more predefined exercises; and generating and outputting a second set of auditory prompts to the user, wherein the second set of auditory prompts pertains to the predefined exercises being performed by the user.

Exercise monitoring and coaching using audio devices

Methods, systems and computer program products for speech and gesture interaction of multiple users with devices using voice activated interfaces are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes transmitting a pilot signal from a device comprising a voice activated interface, the pilot signal having a frequency, detecting motion of at least one user around the device, associating the detected motion with a gesture, and performing a function in response to the gesture. Detecting the motion includes receiving a reflected signal of the pilot signal caused by the motion of the at least one user, and detecting a shift in the reflected signal from the pilot signal, wherein detecting the shift comprises determining one or more differences between a waveform corresponding to the pilot signal and a waveform corresponding to the reflected signal.
