Patents & Intellectual Property

Backed by Decades of Innovation

The FinalStep-AI system is based on patented inventions by Richard John (Rick) Baker, covering personalized AI-generated feedback systems that capture and analyze real-time motion data.

Rick’s core inventions — spanning back to the early 1990s — include methods for using computers and motion sensors to generate individualized visual and audio instructional presentations for a person. These systems are designed to compare user motion with expert models and provide immediate, tailored feedback to help the user improve.

Relevant Patents:

US Patent No. 5,486,001 (1991)
Personalized Instructional Aid
Early computer-generated audio-visual instruction tailored to user behavior using camera motion sensing.
US Patent No. 11,210,963 (2017)
Method and Apparatus for Providing Personalized Audio-Visual Instruction
Uses MEMS motion sensors and expert comparisons to deliver personalized feedback.

These patents — and their associated international filings — form the legal foundation of FinalStep-AI’s real-time, human-centered feedback system.
