Virtual Figure Generation from Pressure Sensor Weight Device
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260100011A1, filed August 22, 2025, for a system and method combining a weight support device with a pressure sensor grid and a connected computer to capture pressure data, generate a virtual figure representing the user, and display animated movement on a screen. The kinematic model adjusts body-segment positions in the virtual figure based on detected movement patterns.
About this source
USPTO classification G06N covers computer systems based on specific computational models: neural networks, knowledge representation, fuzzy logic, expert systems, evolutionary algorithms. With the AI patent boom, this is one of the most-filed application classes in the office. Every newly published application in G06N lands in this feed, around 230 a month. Patent applications publish 18 months after filing, so this feed reveals what AI labs and companies were working on in the prior year and a half. Watch this if you compete in machine learning, file freedom-to-operate analyses, scout acquisition targets in AI infrastructure, or track which research groups are converting publications to patents. GovPing pulls each application with the filing number, title, applicant, and abstract.
What changed
The USPTO published a patent application for a system that captures pressure data via a sensor grid on a weight support device, analyzes that data with a connected computer, and generates an animated virtual figure illustrating the user's movement patterns using a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display to visualize body segment positions and movement over time.
Affected parties—primarily manufacturers of fitness equipment, rehabilitation devices, medical assessment tools, or motion-capture technology—should monitor the prosecution of this application for potential licensing considerations or freedom-to-operate analysis. Patent applications represent a disclosed technical approach that may inform prior art searches for competing products in the wearable sensor, physiotherapy, and human-motion analytics sectors.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND VISUALIZING VIRTUAL FIGURES FROM PRESSURE DATA CAPTURED USING WEIGHT SUPPORT DEVICES FOR VISUALIZATION OF USER MOVEMENT

Abstract
A weight support device includes a sensor grid that measures pressure data while a user is on the weight support device. The weight support device is connected to a computer that analyzes the pressure data and generates a virtual figure to represent the user. Based on the pressure data, the computer determines how the user moves and adjusts relative positions of segments in the virtual figure that represent various body parts corresponding to the movements of the user. The relative positions of the segments may be determined based on a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display (e.g., in a video) to illustrate how the user moved.
