Christopher I. Borowski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Golf shot detection
    Patent number: 10097961
    Abstract: A wearable computing device comprises one or more motion sensors, a first circuit, and a second circuit. The one or more motion sensors are configured to measure swing motion. The first circuit is in communication with the one or more motion sensors and configured to translate measurements of the swing motion to machine-readable motion data and identify from the machine-readable motion data a golf shot in which a golf club held by a golfer contacts a golf ball. The second circuit is configured to increment a golf score of the golfer responsive to the golf shot being identified.

  • GPS sensor control
    Patent number: 10021527
    Abstract: A device comprises a global positioning system (GPS) sensor and a circuit. The GPS sensor is switchable between a high power state and a lower power state. The circuit is configured to dynamically adjust a power state duty cycle of the GPS sensor based on at least a golf-event interrupt. The power state duty cycle defines a percentage of a period in which the GPS sensor operates in a high power state relative to a lower power state.
