  • Patent number: 12159488
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out a method. The method comprises obtaining sensor data indicative of a parameter sensed by a sensor associated with an article of sports equipment; obtaining position data indicative of a spatial position of the sensor or of the article of sports equipment; jointly processing the sensor data and the position data to derive a hybrid metric; and outputting a signal conveying the hybrid metric on a network or storing the hybrid metric in a computer-readable memory. The sensor data and the position data may be time-aligned to a common time reference, so that the jointly processing is carried out on the time-aligned sensor data and position data. The hybrid metric measures properties that are not derivable from the sensor data alone or the position data alone.

  • Patent number: 12151150
    Abstract: A ground traversing, electrically driven drone travels along a preprogrammed path that corresponds to pass catcher's travel path during a play, matching the pass catcher's speed and run cuts. The play is wirelessly communicated to the drone by a handheld electronic device located remote of the drone. A target is located on the drone so that a quarterback can throw a football at the target in order to refine the quarterback's timing and accuracy for the play. Sensors onboard the drone track both the football's and quarterback's speed and travel trajectories so that such data can be collected, along with the drone's travel path, and stored onboard the drone's control unit and eventually fed into 3-D reconstruction software for analysis by the quarterback and coaching staff. The target rotates so that the target either faces in a fixed direction or constantly faces the quarterback during execution of drone's maneuvers.

  • Patent number: 12115432
    Abstract: An approach for providing real-time feedback during a sports activity (e.g., golf play) based, at least in part, on analysis of sensor information, is disclosed. The approach involves receiving sensor data associated with one or more sensors arranged to track playing technique information of a player engaged in a sports activity. The approach also involves processing the sensor data in real-time to determine the playing technique information. The approach further involves retrieving baseline information for the player. The approach also involves comparing the playing technique information with the baseline information. The approach further involves generating, in real-time with the engagement of the sports activity, an instructional message to modify playing technique of the player based on the comparison. The approach also involves initiating presentation, during the sports activity, of the instructional message to a user interface of a device accessible by the player.
