Identifying movements using a motion sensing device coupled with an associative memory

摘要

A kinematic system. The system includes a kinematic measurement device (1614) having one or more sensors (1616) configured to detect a plurality of physical positions of a part 5 of an object (1618). The system also includes an associative memory (1602), in communication with the kinematic measurement device (1614), and comprising a plurality of data (1604) and a plurality of associations among the plurality of data (1606), wherein the plurality of data (1604) is collected into 0 associated groups (1608), wherein the associative memory (1602) is configured to be queried based on at least indirect relationships (1610) among the plurality of data (1604). The system also includes a processor (1620), in communication with the associative memory (1602) and the kinematic measurement 5 device (1614), and configured to translate a range of coordinate positions of the part of the object (1618) to a qualitative description that names the range, wherein the processor (1620) is further configured to provide the qualitative description to the associative memory (1602) for storage. 9743167vl
