Existence of instrumentation for automatic video recording creates an excess capacity of video recording for those who own automatic video recorders. Others may want to utilize this excess capacity to record their activities thus there is a need for a system that helps match those who would like to utilize the excess capacity with those who have such capacity. Such excess capacity is matched with demand to use such excess capacity by creating a network of automatic video recording units and tags that are associated with people who want to be recorded.

Systems and methods relating to evaluating the performance of a person playing basketball are described. The systems and methods can be used to provide an evaluation sequence that can determine and evaluate the performance level of a person at one or more basketball skills. The evaluation sequence for the person can include a first sequence of actions that are the same each person being evaluated for a particular skill and a second sequence of actions that is based on the results of the first sequence and may be different for each person. Once the first and second sequences have been completed by the person, the system can determine a performance level for the person for the skills being evaluated.

Provided is a method for controlling a wearable device. The method includes acquiring a first time stamp, where the first time stamp is a time at which a user starts climbing; calculating a single-lap climbing altitude of the user according to data of a barometer; acquiring a second time stamp according to a preset single-lap altitude and the single-lap climbing altitude; calculating a climbing time according to the first time stamp and the second time stamp; and calculating a single-lap vertical velocity according to the climbing time and the single-lap altitude.

The present invention provides a magic cube timing device based on Bluetooth communication, including a timer main body and a non-slip mat. The timer main body is fastened to the non-slip mat. The timer main body includes a main body housing, a main control PCB board, a display apparatus, and two magnetic surface stickers. Two through holes are disposed in the main body housing. One end of the magnetic surface sticker penetrates through the through hole to connect to the main control PCB board. According to the magic cube timing device based on Bluetooth communication in the present invention, each use result in the magic cube timing device is transmitted to an external terminal by using a Bluetooth module, to effectively collect statistics on and store timing data.

Systems and techniques for the collection and display of athletic information. Athletic data relating to a single person or group of people is collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed at a desired remote location so that the person or people can review and critique their performance. In addition, athletic data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.

Athletic performance monitoring systems include GPS data to enhance various features of the workout as well as the post-workout data analysis. Such features include using output from multiple sensors to determine the most accurate data available for providing distance measurements for individual segments of a route. The most accurate data for each route segment, from whatever source, then is used to provide the overall route distance and as the basis for making other calculations, such as pace, calorie burn, etc. Another feature relates to the ability to both input and output geographically tagged messages while moving along a route during an athletic performance.
