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 portable wireless mobile device 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, position, velocity, acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;a radio;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 radio; a mobile device comprising
a computer;a display coupled with said computer;a wireless communication interface coupled with said computer wherein said wireless communication interface is configured to communicate with said radio to obtain said data;said computer configured to
display a location where said at least one motion capture element is currently placed or is to be placed on said user or said piece of equipment;prompt said user to move said at least one motion capture element that is currently placed or is to be placed on said location on said user or on said piece of equipment to associate said at least one motion capture element with assigned locations on the user's body or on said piece of equipment to acknowledge which motion capture of said at least one motion capture element said computer is requesting identify for; accept said data comprising an identity from said at least one motion capture element; obtain said identity of a particular motion capture element based on said data; assign said identity of said particular motion capture element to said location where said at least one motion capture element is currently placed or is to be placed on said user or on said piece of equipment based on said user moving said at least one motion capture element from said prompt; obtain data comprising said sensor values associated with said at least one motion capture element after said at least one motion capture element is placed on said user or on said piece of equipment; analyze said data to form motion analysis data; display said motion analysis data on said display.
