Sport training equipment

摘要

A system for recording and analyzing an activity, such as a golf activity, is provided. The system comprises an impact detection device and one or more video capture unit for recording and displaying recorded activities. Preferred activities are saved, and may be viewed at a separate viewing unit located remote from the video capture unit. The remote viewing unit allows for replay and analysis of the saved activities. In addition, saved activities and data may be uploaded to the Internet for later viewing and analysis.

主权项

1. A sport activity impact detection and image recording system comprising:
an impact detection device comprising:
a piezoelectric transducer for producing an electrical signal in response to impact;a monitoring circuit;a wireless transceiver for transmitting at least one impact detection signal containing impact notification data; at least one portable camera device comprising:
a camera to capture a video of the sports activity;a wireless transceiver to receive said impact detection signal containing impact notification data from the impact detection device;a processor that performs functions comprising:
receiving the video from the camera;receiving the impact detection signal and processing the impact notification data from the wireless transceiver;saving a video in slow motion or normal speed;concatenating a plurality of the video to make a single video for purposes of review, comment and sharing;saving the video in local memory or on a server;saving the impact notification data along with the video;executing an application program to allow interaction with the camera, wireless transceiver and impact detection device; wherein upon detection of impact by the monitoring circuit, the impact detection device transmits the impact notification data wirelessly; wherein the at least one portable camera device upon receiving impact notification from the impact detection device can record a video of sport activity around the time of impact; wherein the monitoring circuit comprises:
an analog to digital convertor to translate the signal provided by the piezoelectric transducer into a digital signal;a microprocessor performing one or more functions in a group comprising:
run algorithms to detect impact;communicate the impact detection signal to the portable camera device wirelessly;communicate user input to the portable camera device wirelessly; wherein the impact detection is determined by a signal to noise ratio of the input data provided by the analog to digital convertor exceeding a specified threshold.
