“System For Exercise Program Management” in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20220036762): Patent Application

2022 FEB 17 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- A patent application by the inventor Brown, Cody (Bremerton, WA, US), filed on August 3, 2020, was made available online on February 3, 2022, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents.

This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution.

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Physical fitness is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Physical fitness refers to proper nutrition, physical exercise, and sufficient rest. Each aspect of physical fitness has various protocols for best practices related to specific goals. The physical fitness and personal training industries generate over $100 billion U.S. dollars in revenue each year.

“Each year, millions of people struggle with fitness goals due to lack of motivation, lack of proper guidance, and inadequate knowledge. Aggregating fitness data allows individuals to monitor fitness progress, which in-turn helps individuals stay motivated over long periods of time. However, tracking fitness data can be complex, leading to non-compliance.

“Improvements in mobile technologies have allowed for the advancement of monitoring health data. Users can now easily monitor physical well-being, fitness goals, sleep statistics, and nutritional information which can be stored in a database and provided on a user interface for analysis. While tracking data has been made easy, many individuals prefer to receive training programs from a professional personal trainer. This removes the need to research exercise and nutritional advice, which the personal trainer may provide as a service.

“Personal trainers are individuals certified to have a varying degree of fitness knowledge, including exercise prescription and instruction. Some personal trainers may also provide nutritional advice tailored to their clients’ goals, such as weight loss, mass gain, or sport-specific meal plans. Many physical trainers operate at a gym and engage with clients in-person; however, virtual training and consultations have become increasingly popular.”

In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventor’s summary information for this patent application: “This summary is provided to introduce a variety of concepts in a simplified form that is further disclosed in the detailed description of the embodiments. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.

“The embodiments provided herein relate to a computerized system for health management, comprising a database configured to store a plurality of physical exercise and nutrition data input by a user via a computing device. A calendar module is in operable communication with a scheduling module to permit the user to schedule exercise information and nutritional information. A communications module permits communication between a client and a provider. A media module is in operable communication with a camera to receive video information and associate the video information with one or more exercises. The video information is provided on an exercise interface to permit the user to engage with the video information.

“The embodiments further provide a computerized system for the aggregation and management of physical fitness and nutritional information. The system allows for users to interact with physical fitness and nutrition information as well as with other users over a network. Clients may seek providers of nutrition, exercise, or similar health and well-being information. The clients may search a listing of providers to view user profiles containing information related to the user. For example, a client may search for a personal trainer with expertise in weight loss by viewing profiles of providers. The users may then engage with one another by communicating over the network, engage with virtual training, or engage with physical exercise, nutrition, or general health information.

“In one aspect, a payment processor processes payments transmitted from the client to the provider.

“In one aspect, a permissions module determines exercise information configured behind a paywall.

“In one aspect a user profile interface provides a user profile provided by the user.

“In one aspect, a search engine permits the user to search user profiles stored in the database.

“In one aspect, the exercise interface comprises imagery of an exercise and an instruction for performing the exercise.

“In one aspect, the exercise interface is configured to categorically provide exercise by at least one of the following: body region, muscle group, exercise goal, and experience level.

“In one aspect, a nutrition interface is in operable communication with the calendar interface to permit the user to input nutrition information.

“In one aspect, the nutrition information is transmitted to the provider to permit the provider to input nutrition suggestions.”

The claims supplied by the inventors are:

“1. A computerized system for health management, comprising: a database configured to store a plurality of physical exercise and nutrition data input by a user via a computing device; a calendar module in operable communication with a scheduling module to permit the user to schedule exercise information and nutritional information; a communications module to permit communication between a client and a provider; a media module in operable communication with a camera to receive video information and associate the video information with one or more exercises, wherein the video information is provided on an exercise interface.

“8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a nutrition interface in operable communication with the calendar interface, wherein the nutrition interface permits the user to input nutrition information.

“9. The system of claim 8, wherein the nutrition information is transmitted to the provider to permit the provider to input nutrition suggestions.

“10. A computerized system for health management, comprising: a database configured to store a plurality of physical exercise and nutrition data input by a user via a computing device; a calendar module in operable communication with a scheduling module to permit the user to schedule exercise information and nutritional information; a communications module to permit communication between a client and a provider; a media module in operable communication with a camera to receive video information and associate the video information with one or more exercises, wherein the video information is provided on an exercise interface; a nutrition interface to permit the user to input nutrition information and transmit the nutrition information between the client and the provider; and a nutrition module in operable communication with the nutrition interface, wherein the nutrition module aggregates nutrition information and calculates nutrition totals to correspond the nutrition total with a period of time.

“11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a payment processor to process payments transmitted from the client to the provider.

“12. The system of claim 11, wherein a permissions module determines exercise information configured behind a paywall.

“13. The system of claim 12, wherein a user profile interface provides a user profile provided by the user.

“14. The system of claim 13, wherein a search engine permits the user to search user profiles stored in the database.
