In one aspect of the disclosure, a method that involves keeping state of a video workout program may include communicatively coupling a server in a cloud network to an exercise machine through a first network connection, communicatively coupling the server to a network device through a second network connection, the server providing a video workout program to the exercise machine for execution at the exercise machine to enable a user to perform at least a portion of a workout of the video workout program on the exercise machine, the server keeping state of the video workout program during execution of the video workout program based on inputs from the exercise machine and the network device, and taking an action based on the state. The action may include synchronizing multiple displays, adaptively scaling the video workout program, and/or generating and providing an exercise machine control command to the exercise machine.

Athletic performance monitoring systems and methods, many of which utilize, in some manner, global positioning satellite (“GPS”) data, provide data and information to athletes and/or to equipment used by athletes during an athletic event. Such systems and methods may provide route information to athletes and/or their trainers, e.g., for pre-event planning, goal setting, and calibration purposes. Such systems and methods optionally may provide real time information to the athlete while the event takes place, e.g., to assist in reaching the pre-set goals. Additionally, data and information collected by such systems and methods may assist in post-event analysis for athletes and their trainers, e.g., to evaluate past performances and to assist in improving future performances.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) sport device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

A recommended distance provision method for providing a recommended distance in consideration of characteristics of wind by a distance recommendation device for golf is proposed. The method includes calculating a horizontal distance, a vertical distance, and the recommended distance of a shot, which are distances to a target without considering an influence of the wind, on the basis of measurement information including a straight-line distance to the target and an inclination to the target, calculating a horizontal distance correction value for the horizontal distance on the basis of information on a wind direction and a wind speed, calculating an adjusted landing angle for a preset landing angle on the basis of the information on the wind direction and the wind speed, and calculating an additional distance correction value, and calculating a final recommended distance by adding the calculated additional distance correction value and the horizontal distance correction value.

A multifunctional ranging telescope includes a main body, a wind direction and wind speed sensing device, a display device and a power source. The wind direction and wind speed sensing device is movably connected to the main body and includes a sensing element. When the wind direction and wind speed sensing device moves to a sensing position, the sensing element is located outside the main body. The display device is located on a surface of the main body and electrically connected to the wind direction and wind speed sensing device to display a wind direction and wind speed information. The power source is configured to supply power to the wind direction and wind speed sensing device and the display device.

A treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley incorporated into the deck, a second pulley incorporated into the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, a motor in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley and the second pulley to move the tread belt in a first direction, and a runaway mitigation mechanism in at least indirect mechanical communication with the motor. The runaway mitigation mechanism at least mitigates a motor runaway condition.

Described are a two-dimensional wind-speed and wind-direction sensor and a system thereof, relating to the field of sensing devices. The two-dimensional wind-speed and wind-direction sensor includes: an X-direction wind speed probe assembly and a Y-direction wind speed probe assembly, the X-direction wind speed probe assembly and the Y-direction wind speed probe assembly are perpendicular to each other, and the X-direction wind speed probe assembly is configured to measure a X-direction wind speed including a wind speed in the reverse direction of an X-axis, Vx−, and a wind speed in the forward direction of the X-axis Vx+; and the Y-direction wind speed probe assembly is configured to measure a Y-direction wind speed including a wind speed in reverse direction of an Y-axis, Vy−, and a wind speed in the forward direction of the Y-axis, Vy+.

A method of predicting the likelihood of a post T-off golf swing or consecutive swings resulting in a ball being sunk in a hole; the method utilising communication equipped cameras or communication equipped laser rangefinders at known locations to determine accurate ball lie information. Transmission of this location information in real time to a processing facility linked to a database of historical play information incorporating at least ball position information and golf course in order to calculate odds of success of the upcoming swing and/or subsequent swings.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.
