Abstract: An athletic performance measuring unit can measure numerous athletic performance parameters for an athlete either during practice or during competition. The measured parameters may be used by the athlete to evaluate the improvement in their performance as well as compare their level of performance against peers. The athletic performance measuring unit can also be configure to transmit the sensed sensor data to a personal processing unit, such as a smart device, for calculation of one or more athletic performance parameters. The calculated athletic performance parameters can be transmitted by the PPU to other electronic devices of those fans interested in following the athletic performance of a particular athlete, group of athletes, and/or team. Further, the athletic performance measuring unit can be configured to be integrated with the display system of an arena or stadium such that the athletic performance parameters can be displayed on the scoreboard of the arena.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for collecting various types of data relating to a sporting event and processing the collected data to improve a broadcast of the sporting event to remote devices. A performance measuring device may be integrated, constructed, weaved or placed, for example, in or on the clothes of athletes that participate in the sporting event. The performance measuring device then monitors real-time motion data and positional information of each athlete within an area associated with the sporting event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for computing real-time athletic performance parameters that characterize an athlete's activity while participating in a sport. A system includes a performance measuring unit that is, for example, attached to an article of clothing of an athlete and that monitors movement and activity while the athlete participates in the sport. The performance measuring unit can include multiple types of activity-based sensors (e.g., an accelerometer, a magnetometer, and/or a gyroscope) that are configured to collect sensor data reflective of positional changes of the performance measuring unit. The computing unit of the performance measuring unit processes the collected sensor data in real-time using specified techniques to identify the occurrence of “events,” which refer to a particular time periods during which the collected sensor data are associated with movements of interest (e.g., movements associated with a high intensity action).
