SIGNATURE-BASED TRICK DETERMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SKATEBOARDING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES OF MOTION

摘要

The invention provides improved devices, systems and methods for skateboarding (and other sporting activities) that monitor motion of a skateboard to identify tricks performed on it by a user. A system according to one aspect of the invention includes (i) a sensing device that is attached (or otherwise coupled) to the skateboard and that measures a physical characteristic of it, and (ii) a data processor that identifies the feat or trick (or other action) performed by or on the skateboard based, at least in part, on correspondence between physical characteristics of motion and/or of the environment measured by the sensing device(s) and a unique signature associated with each of one or more possible tricks.
