PORTABLE WIRELESS MOBILE DEVICE MOTION CAPTURE AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Portable wireless mobile device motion capture and analysis system and method configured to display motion capture/analysis data on a mobile device. System obtains data from motion capture elements and analyzes the data. Enables unique displays associated with the user, such as 3D overlays onto images of the user to visually depict the captured motion data. Ratings associated with the captured motion can also be displayed. Predicted ball flight path data can be calculated and displayed. Data shown on a time line can also be displayed to show the relative peaks of velocity for various parts of the user's body. Based on the display of data, the user can determine the equipment that fits the best and immediately purchase the equipment, via the mobile device. Custom equipment may be ordered through an interface on the mobile device from a vendor that can assemble-to-order customer built equipment and ship the equipment.

主权项

1. A motion capture and analysis system comprising:
at least one motion capture element configured to couple with a user or piece of equipment, wherein said at least one motion capture element comprises
a memory;a sensor configured to capture any combination of values associated with an orientation, a position, a velocity, and an acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;a first communication interface;a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio, wherein said microcontroller is configured to
collect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor;store said data in said memory;transmit said data via said first communication interface; a computer that comprises
a display;a second communication interface configured to
communicate with said first communication interface to obtain said data, andcommunicate with a remote database that is remote to said mobile device;wherein said computer is coupled with said display and said second communication interface, and wherein said computer is configured to
recognize said at least one motion capture element associated with said user or said piece of equipment and associate said at least one motion capture element with assigned locations on said user or said piece of equipment;receive said data associated with said at least one motion capture element via said second communication interface;analyze said data to form motion analysis data;display said motion analysis data on said display; and,store said data, or said motion analysis data, or both said data and said motion analysis data in said remote database.
