Fitness activity monitoring systems and methods
Apparatus, systems, and methods for monitoring the performance of an individual during a fitness activity are disclosed. A method of monitoring the performance of a participant engaged in a fitness activity includes receiving a GPS signal during the fitness activity at a portable fitness device used by the participant; determining participant performance data based on the received GPS signal; at a stationary position beacon, transmitting location data associated with the location of the stationary position beacon; at a mobile participant receiver supported by the participant, receiving the location data from the stationary position beacon; and modifying the participant performance data based on the data received from the stationary position beacon.
Systems and methods for computing a strokes gained performance metric from ball flight data that considers predetermined offline information
A system for computer-implemented golf shot analysis includes a tracking device and a computing device. The computing device accesses ball flight data generated by the tracking device in view of a predetermined gradient map and associated functionality to derive a performance metric that penalizes shots deemed to be offline.
Method and apparatus for early detection of diabetic foot disorders by analyzing foot temperature and vertical and shear forces on feet
A system for analysis of user gait and foot disorder intended to minimize risks ulceration and limb amputation associated with the uncontrolled increase of the foot temperature in persons with diabetes. This system comprises a motion, force and temperature sensors and a processing element configured to process motion algorithms, measure ground reaction force (GRF) and changes in foot temperature embedded in the footwear insoles in communication with a smartphone based analysis application using wireless radio interface. The analysis application processes data received from the footwear sensors, compares the results with set of criteria and rules, and if any of the predefined criteria is exceeded, provides alerts to the user and the remote medical supervisor. Additionally, the insoles may be equipped with a haptic actuators configured to determine the level of the user neuropathy by measuring vibration perception threshold (VPT) level.
Video rebroadcasting with multiplexed communications and display via smart mirrors, and smart weight integration
A method includes causing display, during a first time period and via a first set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the first set of multiple smart mirrors, without displaying a workout video. The method also includes causing display, during a second time period following and mutually exclusive of the first time period, and via a second set of multiple smart mirrors, of a workout video and a representation of at least one user associated with the second set of smart mirrors. The method also includes causing display, during a third time period following and mutually exclusive of the second time period, and via a third set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the third set of multiple smart mirrors.
ACTIVITY AND WORKOUT UPDATES
The present disclosure generally relates to navigating, viewing, and sharing activity and workout data and interacting with workout and/or activity applications. In some examples, scrolling of activity data is based on the content being displayed. In some examples, friends' activity data may be viewed. In some examples, a notification and workout data for a friend's completed workout is received and displayed. In some example, the activity data received from friends is viewed and managed. In some examples, workout data for a multi-segment workout is displayed in a three-dimensional stack on a map. In some examples, a workout application operates in a limited mode until a touch input is received with a characteristic intensity that is greater than a threshold intensity.
Blockchain
An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a camera coupled to a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.
ROBOTIC COLLECTION SYSTEM
A robotic collection system includes: a working robot configured to autonomously travel on a field to collect target objects on the field; and a management controller configured to manage a work schedule of the working robot. The management controller includes a processor. The processor obtains information about an amount of the target objects on the field, and changes an existing work schedule based on the information.
WEARABLE POSITIONING DEVICE AND WEARABLE POSITIONING METHOD
A wearable positioning device includes an inertial sensor, a storage device and a processor. The inertial sensor senses an acceleration signal and an angular velocity signal. The storage device stores a previous positioning signal and a current coordinate. The processor is electrically connected to the inertial sensor and the storage device. A wearable positioning method is executed by the processor, which includes: determining whether the wearable positioning device is in one of an under-water mode and an above-water mode according to a pressure sensing signal; calculating, when in the under-water mode, a current acceleration and a current direction according to the acceleration signal, the angular velocity signal, and a swimming posture signal representing a swimming posture; and calculating a current positioning signal according to the current acceleration, the current direction and the previous positioning signal, and updating the current coordinate with the current positioning signal.
Incorporation of Computing Hardware that Captures and Conveys the Shape and Relative Position of Sporting Equipment Without Affecting its Required Physical Performance
The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to sport's equipment comprising of “thin film” and “flexible electronics” that mimic and conform to the assembly components of traditional, non-interactive, sport's equipment. The layers of the equipment contain electrical and computing circuits in the form of one or more of an active mesh, active stitching, and/or active piping that mimics components otherwise made of leather, fabric, yarn or other non-conductive materials of a sport's equipment. Further provided for is the use of a suitable wireless technology to transmit the data collected by the digitally active implements to an external computer, which is capable of receiving the data to perform a simulation or computation for a sporting exercise.
