Interactive sessions with participants and providers

Abstract

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for sessions with participants and providers. For example, in one embodiment, a provider can interact with multiple participants to conduct interactive treatment sessions. Further, a participant can interact with multiple providers to conduct interactive treatment sessions. For the interactive treatment sessions, motion data and video data of the participant can be simultaneously displayed to the provider.

1 . A method, the method comprising:
 establishing, via one or more processors, an interactive session between a participant computing entity and a provider computing entity, (a) the interactive session for a user of the participant computing entity to perform a treatment during the interactive session, (b) the interactive session comprising a video stream of video data and a motion stream of motion data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity, (c) the video data of the video stream comprising video of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, (d) the motion data of the motion stream comprising motions of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, and (e) the video data and the motion data to be displayed simultaneously by the provider computing entity.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the motion data comprises points representative of body parts appropriately connected to form a skeleton of the user of the participant computing entity. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the participant computing entity enables the participant to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of providers. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the provider computing entity enables the provider to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of participants. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the interactive session further comprises an audio stream of audio data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the interactive session further comprises a video stream of video data and an audio stream of audio data originating from the provider computing entity and provided to the participant computing entity. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
 establish an interactive session between a participant computing entity and a provider computing entity, (a) the interactive session for a user of the participant computing entity to perform a treatment during the interactive session, (b) the interactive session comprising a video stream of video data and a motion stream of motion data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity, (c) the video data of the video stream comprising video of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, (d) the motion data of the motion stream comprising motions of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, and (e) the video data and the motion data to be displayed simultaneously in separate display areas by the provider computing entity.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the motion data comprises points representative of body parts appropriately connected to form a skeleton of the user of the participant computing entity. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the participant computing entity enables the participant to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of providers. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the provider computing entity enables the provider to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of participants. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the interactive session further comprises an audio stream of audio data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the interactive session further comprises a video stream of video data and an audio stream of audio data originating from the provider computing entity and provided to the participant computing entity. 
     
     
         13 . A computer program product, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
 an executable portion configured to establish an interactive session between a participant computing entity and a provider computing entity, (a) the interactive session for a user of the participant computing entity to perform a treatment during the interactive session, (b) the interactive session comprising a video stream of video data and a motion stream of motion data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity, (c) the video data of the video stream comprising video of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, (d) the motion data of the motion stream comprising motions of the user performing the treatment during the interactive session, and (e) the video data and the motion data to be displayed simultaneously by the provider computing entity.   
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the motion data comprises points representative of body parts appropriately connected to form a skeleton of the user of the participant computing entity. 
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the participant computing entity enables the participant to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of providers. 
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the provider computing entity enables the provider to conduct interactive sessions with a plurality of participants. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the interactive session further comprises an audio stream of audio data originating from the participant computing entity and provided to the provider computing entity. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the interactive session further comprises a video stream of video data and an audio stream of audio data originating from the provider computing entity and provided to the participant computing entity.
