Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a posture correction device that is capable of monitoring, analyzing, and correcting posture-related issues in real time while ensuring user comfort and preventing musculoskeletal complications, thereby providing necessary corrections to maintain an optimal alignment of the body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Maintaining proper posture is essential for overall health and well-being, as it helps prevent musculoskeletal strain, reduces the risk of long-term complications, and enhances physical comfort. Poor posture often leads to issues such as spinal misalignment, muscle fatigue, and joint stress, affecting daily activities and overall productivity. Ensuring consistent postural alignment minimizes unnecessary strain on the body, allowing for improved mobility and reduced discomfort during prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Proper posture also contributes to better circulation, respiratory function, and core stability, promoting overall physical balance and reducing the likelihood of chronic pain. Addressing posture-related concerns requires continuous awareness and corrective measures to prevent long-term adverse effects. By integrating solutions that actively monitor and maintain proper alignment, the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders decreases, leading to enhanced comfort, better physical performance, and overall well-being.

[0003] Traditional approaches to maintaining proper posture often rely on conscious self-correction, ergonomic furniture, or external support systems. These methods present several drawbacks. For example, traditional techniques lack real-time feedback, making it difficult to identify and address postural deviations effectively, leading to prolonged strain and discomfort. Furthermore, static solutions do not adapt to individual movement patterns or varying levels of physical activity, resulting in inconsistent support and limited long-term effectiveness. The absence of dynamic monitoring and personalized adjustments exacerbates the challenges associated with maintaining optimal alignment throughout daily activities. Additionally, traditional methods fail to provide continuous reinforcement, reducing their ability to prevent postural imbalances over time. To achieve better posture management, adopting advanced solutions that offer real-time monitoring, adaptive support, and precise corrective measures is essential for ensuring long-term musculoskeletal health and overall well-being.

[0004] US20220062019A1 discloses about a wearable device, for posture correction and muscle training, includes a wearable assembly and two resilience supporters, wherein the resilience supporter has an resilience tendency to be upright, wherein the wearable assembly is detachably arranged on the resilience supporter, wherein the wearable assembly is supported by the resilience supporter and is moved along with the resilience supporter, so that the user's body fits the wearable assembly and applies an force against the resilience supporter, wherein the wearable device has no need to restrain the user's body, and can provide portable posture correction to ensure long-term major muscle activity in daily life.

[0005] US6997857B2 discloses about a posture correction exercise device is disclosed to aid in correcting the common postural condition of kyphosis lordosis by aiding in the exercise of the spinal erectors to strengthen the erectors to pull the user's spine and torso backward into normal alignment and by exercise of the mid-trapezius, rhomboid and posterior deltoid muscles to strengthen these muscles to pull the user's shoulder blades together and force the shoulders into normal alignment. The device operates by seating the user upon a declined seat to provide increased resistance by gravity to provide increased resistance to backward movement of user's body and rotation of user's arms against tension mounted on tension back and resistance of said tension against backward movement by the user's body wherein hands of the user are positioned in supinated palms-up hand positions by grasping ball grips affixed under the rearward rotational arm positioners of the device at the exterior ends of the arm positioners.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0021] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0022] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0023] The present invention relates to a posture correction device that ensures long-term posture improvement by consistently monitoring and addressing misalignments. Furthermore, the device processes movement patterns, evaluates the body's positioning, and activates corrective functions to realign posture dynamically.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a posture correction device is illustrated, comprising of a vest 101, Velcro straps 102 provided at the open ends of the vest 101, a layer of memory foam 103 lined along inner surface of the vest 101, a cascading slider 104 disposed at a rear surface of the vest 101, having a neck support unit 105 at an upper end, the neck support unit 105 comprising of a horizontal telescopic bar 106 attached with the slider 104 by means of an articulated link 107, ends of the bar 106 provided with semi-cylindrical flaps 108, the articulated link 107 comprises a telescopic rod 109 having ball and socket joints 110 at the ends, a plurality of hinges 111 are integrated along the flaps 108, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 is installed on the vest 101, a 3D (three dimensional) holographic projection unit 113 is installed on the vest 101 and a microphone 114 provided on the vest 101.

[0025] The device disclosed herein comprises of a vest 101, which serves as a main structure of the device and is developed to be worn by a user around their torso for posture correction purpose. The vest 101 is made of pliable material, which bends or changes shape without breaking. The open ends of the vest 101 are fabricated with Velcro straps 102 for securely fastening the vest 101 around the straps 102. The Velcro straps 102 are versatile fastening solution that allow two surfaces to be repeatedly attached and detached with ease.

[0026] The inner surface of the vest 101 is fabricated with a layer of memory foam 103, to provide conform with torso of the user. The layer of memory foam 103 along the inner surface of the vest 101, designed to enhance comfort and adaptability for the user. This memory foam 103 layer is strategically integrated to conform seamlessly to the natural contours of the torso, ensuring a snug yet non-restrictive fit. By molding itself to the user's body shape, the foam enhances ergonomic support, preventing discomfort that may arise from prolonged wear.

[0027] Memory foam is known for its viscoelastic properties, meaning it responds to body heat and pressure, softening in areas where contact is most pronounced, which ensures even weight distribution and reduces pressure points, which is particularly beneficial for users who might wear the vest 101 for extended durations. Additionally, the foam’s ability to revert to its original shape when not in use helps maintain the vest’s 101 structure and durability over time.

[0028] Furthermore, the memory foam 103 acts as a cushioning barrier, reducing the impact of mechanical components against the user's skin, which is particularly useful when posture correction adjustments are made, as it minimizes any potential discomfort caused by the movement of structural elements.

[0029] A temperature sensor installed with the vest 101 to monitor temperature of the user. The core component of the temperature sensor is the sensing element which may include but is not limited to thermistors, thermocouples, or resistance detectors. The sensing element detects temperature changes in the user’s body by altering its electrical properties. As the temperature increases and decreases, the resistance of the sensing element changes accordingly. The microcontroller continuously monitors the data from the temperature sensor and compares the monitored temperature with a threshold temperature.

[0030] When the monitored temperature of the user exceeds the threshold temperature level the microcontroller activates a thermoelectric cooler installed with the vest 101 for providing cooling effect to the user. The thermoelectric cooler functions based on the Peltier effect, a phenomenon where an electric current flows through the junction of two different conductive materials, creating a temperature difference. The Peltier module consists of a series of thermoelectric semiconductor pairs, typically made of bismuth telluride. One side of the module absorbs heat (cooling effect) and lowers the temperature of the vest’s 101 inner lining, providing relief to the user. The other side of the module dissipates heat (heating effect) to the surrounding environment or an external heat sink, ensuring efficient heat elimination.

[0031] To initiate operation of the device, the user needs to provide input medical details relating to posture-related issues over a user interface installed within a computing unit of the user (e.g., smartphone, laptop and tablet). The computing unit are linked with a microcontroller of the device via a communication module, which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The user interface serves as a bridge between the user and the microcontroller, allowing for a user-friendly way to input commands over it. The microcontroller functions as the central processing unit of the device, executing programmed instructions to control its operations, manage inputs and outputs, and coordinate various components for seamless functionality.

[0032] An IMU (inertial measurement unit) is installed in the vest 101 and synchronized with an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 to capture multiple images in proximity of the vest 101 to detect an instant posture of the user along with a head position. The IMU comprises an accelerometer and a gyroscopic sensor, for detecting acceleration and angular displacement of the user. The accelerometer measures linear acceleration along three axes (X, Y, and Z). It detects changes in motion and determines if the vest 101 is moving, tilting, or in a static position. By analyzing acceleration data, the IMU infers whether the user is standing upright, leaning forward, or slouching.

[0033] The gyroscopic sensor measures angular velocity, which helps track rotational movements around three axes (roll, pitch, and yaw). This enables the IMU to determine the orientation of the body in space, even in the absence of external reference points. For example, if a person bends their neck forward, the gyroscope detects the rotational movement and sends data to the microcontroller for posture evaluation.

[0034] Synchronously, the imaging unit 112 is constructed with a camera lens and a processor, wherein the camera lens is adapted to capture a series of images of the surrounding present in proximity to the vest 101. The processor carries out a sequence of image processing operations including pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification by utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning protocols. The image captured by the imaging unit 112 is real-time images of the vest’s 101 surrounding. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 112 is in communication with the microcontroller. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 112 transmits the captured image signal in the form of digital bits to the microcontroller.

[0035] The microcontroller upon receiving the image signals from the imaging unit 112 and relevant data from the IMU, the microcontroller compares this information with the pre-fed data stored in a database and constantly determines an instant posture of the user along with a head position. In case the detected posture corresponds to incorrect posture, the microcontroller activates a vibrating unit installed with the vest 101 to generate vibration to the user to make alert the user about detected incorrect posture.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vibrating unit is typically an ERM motor (Eccentric Rotating Mass motor), which consists of a small DC motor (direct current) with an unbalanced weight (eccentric mass) attached to its shaft. When the motor is powered, it rotates the unbalanced mass, creating a centrifugal force that results in continuous vibrations. When the microcontroller detects an incorrect posture, it sends an electrical signal to the ERM motor. The motor begins spinning, causing the off-center weight to rotate rapidly.

[0037] The uneven distribution of mass leads to oscillations, which are transferred as vibrations to the user. The user feels the vibrations as a haptic cue, prompting them to correct their posture. Once the posture is corrected or after a predefined duration, the power supply to the motor is cut off, stopping the vibrations. However, after vibration, the user is incapable of correcting their posture, then the microcontroller actuates a cascading slider 104, which is a multi-stage sliding track arrangement which is designed to move vertically along the user's spine. It consists of interlocking segments that extend and retract smoothly, enabling gradual height adjustments based on the user's posture.

[0038] The slider 104 is actuated by a motorized mechanism, allowing precise positioning of the neck support unit 105. When an incorrect posture is detected, the microcontroller sends signals to the actuator, prompting the slider 104 to move upward or downward to align with the user’s neck. The cascading design ensures stability and smooth motion, preventing abrupt movements that causes discomfort. At the upper end of the cascading slider 104, a horizontal telescopic bar 106 extends across the back of the user’s neck, forming the primary structure of the neck support unit 105.

[0039] The bar 106 serves as a rigid yet adjustable component that holds the semi-cylindrical flaps 108 in place. In an embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic mechanism allows the bar 106 to adjust its width, accommodating users with different neck sizes. It consists of concentric metal or composite tubes that slide within one another, locking at predefined points based on the user’s neck position. The bar 106 is controlled by small linear actuators that expand or contract the telescopic segments as required.

[0040] The telescopic bar 106 is attached to the slider 104 through an articulated link 107, which provides additional flexibility in movement. This link 107 consists of a telescopic rod 109 with ball-and-socket joints at both ends, allowing for multi-directional movement and dynamic adjustments. The telescopic rod 109 enables length adjustments, ensuring that the neck support remains at an optimal position. The ball-and-socket joints allow the bar 106 to pivot and align naturally with the user's head movements, reducing strain. When the cascading slider 104 moves, the articulated link 107 adjusts accordingly, ensuring a seamless posture correction experience. The microcontroller (not shown) fine-tunes the articulation movement based on real-time posture feedback from the IMU and imaging unit 112.

[0041] At the ends of the telescopic bar 106, semi-cylindrical flaps 108 are positioned to enclose around the user's neck. These flaps 108 gently secure the neck in a corrected posture by applying slight pressure to guide it into alignment. The flaps 108 are curved to match the natural shape of the human neck, ensuring a comfortable fit. They are hinged along their length, allowing them to bend and conform to the individual contours of the user's neck. The hinges 111 are micro-controlled, meaning they adjusts their curvature dynamically depending on the detected posture issue. The flaps 108 apply gentle corrective force, ensuring gradual and safe alignment rather than sudden movements.

[0042] To improve wearability, the flaps 108 are coated with a soft material that enhances comfort and reduces skin irritation. This coating is particularly important for users wearing the device for extended periods. In an embodiment of the present invention, the soft coating is also made from memory foam 103, which adapts to the user's skin pressure and temperature to prevent heat buildup during prolonged use. The outer layer is covered with hypoallergenic fabric, preventing skin irritation and ensuring long-term usability.

[0043] Meanwhile, multiple electromyography sensors installed at upper portion of the vest 101 to monitor neuromuscular abnormalities. The electromyography sensor operates by measuring electrical signals generated during muscle contractions. Every time a muscle activates, it produces tiny electrical impulses that detected through surface electrodes embedded in the vest 101. The strength, frequency, and pattern of these signals indicate the level of muscle engagement, fatigue, and potential abnormalities.

[0044] When the user maintains a posture for an extended period, certain muscles may overwork, leading to muscle fatigue and discomfort. The electromyography sensors continuously monitor these signals and identify early signs of fatigue, allowing the microcontroller to provide timely intervention before the discomfort escalates. Once the electromyography sensors capture muscle activity, the signals undergo amplification and filtering to remove noise from external sources, such as skin movement or ambient electrical interference.

[0045] The refined signals are then analysed by an on-board processing unit, which interprets muscle engagement levels and correlates them with the user’s posture data. Additionally, if an individual has muscle imbalances, where some muscles are overactive while others remain underused, the microcontroller detects these irregularities and adjusts the posture of the neck to provide relief from the abnormalities.

[0046] The microcontroller receives the data from the IMU, the imaging unit 112, the electromyography sensors and the medical details inputted by the user and accordingly determines reason of incorrect posture with the help of an analysis module to actuate a 3D (three dimensional) holographic projection unit 113 and a speaker provided on the vest 101 to determine colour-coded visuals of correct postures and exercises along with audio instructions.

[0047] Once the data is collected, the analysis module within the microcontroller evaluates multiple parameters to determine the specific reason for an incorrect posture. The microcontroller compares real-time posture data against predefined correct posture stored in the database. The module calculates the extent and nature of the misalignment, identifying whether the issue is related to spinal positioning, head tilt, shoulder slouching, or muscle fatigue. It cross-references the user’s medical history and muscle engagement patterns, ensuring that the posture correction is suitable for the individual’s specific condition.

[0048] Once the microcontroller determines the cause of the posture issue, it triggers the 3D holographic projection unit 113 and the speaker embedded in the vest 101. These components work together to provide real-time corrective feedback in the form of visual and auditory guidance. The 3D projector displays a color-coded visualization of the correct posture on a virtual screen projected in front of the user. This visual guide helps the user see their ideal posture in comparison to their current posture, making it easier to self-correct. Alongside the visual projection, the speaker provides step-by-step verbal guidance, instructing the user on how to correct their posture. It suggests gradual realignments, specific exercises, or provides reminders to relax tense muscles.

[0049] A microphone 114 is provided on the vest 101 to allow the user to input voice commands to interface with the device. The microphone 114 plays a crucial role by converting spoken words or commands into electrical signals which are then processed and analyzed to trigger specific actions. When the user speaks or commands, creating sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air as variations in air pressure. The microphone 114 mentioned herein is a transducer that converts these variations in air into electric signals. The analog electrical signal is converted into digital form which is done by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digital signal is then subjected to various signal processing techniques to enhance voice quality and eliminate noise.

[0050] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the user begins by wearing the vest 101, which is made of the pliable material, and secures it using Velcro straps 102. The vest 101 is designed to be lightweight and flexible, ensuring it does not restrict movement. To provide the additional layer of comfort, the inner surface of the vest 101 is lined with memory foam 103, which conforms to the user's torso. This allows the device to sit snugly on the body, ensuring the sensors and support structures are positioned correctly for optimal posture correction. Once the vest 101 is worn, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) consists of the accelerometer and the gyroscopic sensor works together to track the user's movements, angular displacement, and acceleration. Alongside the IMU, the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 is installed on the vest 101 which records and processes images of the user's surroundings to detect posture deviations. The data collected by these sensors is transmitted to the integrated processor, which determines whether the user's posture is correct. When the incorrect posture is detected, the processor assesses the severity and type of misalignment. Based on this analysis, if the incorrect posture is detected, the cascading slider 104 disposed at the rear surface of the vest 101 is actuated. This slider 104 houses the neck support unit 105 at its upper end, which is responsible for realigning the user's neck and upper body posture. The neck support unit 105 comprises the horizontal telescopic bar 106, which is attached to the slider 104 by means of the articulated link 107. The articulated link 107 is designed as the telescopic rod 109 with ball and socket joints 110 at its ends, allowing smooth movement and adjustments based on the user's posture. The ends of the telescopic bar 106 feature semi-cylindrical flaps 108 that enclose around the user’s neck for posture correction. To ensure the personalized fit, the plurality of hinges 111are integrated along these flaps 108, allowing them to curve according to the natural contours of the user's neck. Additionally, the flaps 108 are coated with the soft material to enhance comfort, preventing any discomfort or irritation while they are in use. The plurality of electromyography sensors embedded along the upper portion of the vest 101. These sensors monitor neuromuscular activity by detecting electrical signals from the user's muscles. If the sensors identify abnormal muscle strain or fatigue, the data is sent to the microcontroller for analysis. The microcontroller then activates the slider 104, the link 107, and the bar 106 to make necessary adjustments, repositioning the user’s neck to relieve muscle stress and prevent excessive strain. This ensures that posture correction is gradual and adaptive rather than abrupt, minimizing discomfort. When the IMU and imaging unit 112 detect the incorrect posture, the vibration unit activates to provide haptic feedback. Additionally, the 3D holographic projection unit 113 and the speaker to provide visual and audio guidance. The projection unit 113 displays color-coded visuals that represent different posture states. Simultaneously, the speaker provides real-time voice instructions to help the user adjust their posture and perform corrective exercises as needed. The user interface allows the user to input medical details related to their posture issues. This interface is linked to the communication unit that connects with the microcontroller inside the vest 101. To enhance usability, the vest 101 is equipped with the microphone 114 linked to the microcontroller, allowing the user to issue voice commands. To ensure comfort during prolonged use, the vest 101 is equipped with the thermoelectric cooler, which is regulated based on the user’s body temperature. the temperature sensor embedded in the vest 101 continuously monitors the user's temperature. If the sensor detects excessive heat, the microcontroller activates the thermoelectric cooler. Using the Peltier effect, the cooler dissipates heat efficiently, maintaining the comfortable temperature for the user and preventing discomfort caused by sweating or overheating. The analysis module is linked with the microcontroller. This module continuously processes data from multiple sources, including the IMU, imaging unit 112, electromyography sensors, and the user’s medical input.
