  • Publication number: 20210265055
    Abstract: The invention incorporates a network and modules to register and monitor a group leader and a plurality of participants for a specific group activity, each remotely located from each other and a group physiological state server. Each of a plurality of module and individual registration information of each participant is stored in the form of data in memory on the server and individual participant data is stored at each participant's location. The second module monitors and processes real-time physiological measurements for each of the participants in the specific group activity. A third module tracks a physiological state of the participants, and fourth module evaluates and applies artificial intelligence to provide real-time feedback concerning the physiological state of the group or of an individual. A fifth module may also be employed to provide feedback pertaining to the group leader's physiological state in relation to the overall group physiological state.

  • Publication number: 20210197046
    Abstract: A system that wirelessly integrates actual golf equipment with a computer and the internet to allow players remotely located from one another to play a competitive simulated game of golf. An individual player may opt to play solo or practice to improve basic golfing techniques. The system includes smart golf clubs, a golf ball receptacle and a golf club motion sensing device, all containing circuits and contact or motion sensors coupled with signal processing and radio frequency transmitter circuitry, thereby wirelessly communicate game performance information to a remote receiver-computer. The computer displays player information and visually simulates and controls a golf game between two players, via the internet, having similar equipment and remotely located from each other. Standard golf clubs may be retrofitted with the sensors and associated circuitry to convert such clubs into “smart clubs” for use with the system.
