FITTING SYSTEM FOR SPORTING EQUIPMENT

摘要

Enables a fitting system for sporting equipment using an application that executes on a mobile phone for example to prompt and accept motion inputs from a given motion capture sensor to measure a user's size, range of motion, speed and then utilizes that same sensor to capture motion data from a piece of equipment, for example to further optimize the fit of, or suggest purchase of a particular piece of sporting equipment. Utilizes correlation or other data mining of motion data for size, range of motion, speed of other users to maximize the fit of a piece of equipment for the user based on other user's performance with particular equipment. For example, this enables a user of a similar size, range of motion and speed to data mine for the best performance equipment, e.g., longest drive, lowest putt scores, highest winning percentage, etc., associated with other users having similar characteristics.

主权项

1. A fitting system for sporting equipment comprising:
at least one motion capture element comprising a wireless communication interface configured to transmit motion capture data from the at least one motion capture element; an application configured to execute on a computer that is configured to wirelessly communicate with said at least one motion capture sensor wherein the application is configured to prompt a first user to move the motion capture sensor to a first location;
accept a first motion capture data from the motion capture sensor at the first location via the wireless communication interface;prompt the first user to move the motion capture sensor to a second location or rotational value;accept a second motion capture data from the motion capture sensor at the second location or rotational value via the wireless communication interface;calculate a distance or rotation between the first and second location or rotational value based on the first and second motion capture data;prompt the first user to move through a movement;accept a third motion capture data from the motion capture sensor for the movement via the wireless communication interface;calculate a speed for the movement based on the third motion capture data;calculate a correlation between the distance and the speed for the first user with respect to a plurality of other users;present information associated with a piece of equipment associated with a second user or associated with a second user distance, a second user rotation or a second user speed wherein the information presented is a result of the correlation with at least the distance or the rotation or the speed or any combination, of the first user.
