Publication number: 20240085988Abstract: An athletic performance monitoring system, including a gesture recognition processor configured to execute gesture recognition processes. Interaction with the athletic performance monitoring system may be based, at least in part, on gestures performed by a user, and may offer an alternative to making selections on the athletic performance monitoring system using physical buttons, which may be cumbersome and/or inconvenient to use while performing an athletic activity. Additionally, recognized gestures may be used to select one or more operational modes for the athletic performance monitoring system, such that a reduction in power consumption may be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Manan Goel, Kate Cummings, Peter Laigar, David Switzer, Sebastian Imlay, Michael Lapinsky

Patent number: 10398358Abstract: A wrist-worn athletic performance monitoring system, including an analysis processor, configured to execute an activity recognition processes to recognize a sport or activity being performed by an athlete, and a sampling rate processor, configured to determine a sampling rate at which an analysis processor is to sample data from an accelerometer. The sampling rate processor may determine the sampling rate such that the analysis processor uses a low amount of electrical energy while still being able to carry out an activity classification process to classify an activity being performed.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Manan Goel, Kate Cummings

Patent number: 9851767Abstract: Multiple processor systems are provided. A first processor is configured to monitor the state of at least one other processor by comparing received signals. When the first processor determines that another processor needs to be reset, the first processor provides a reset signal to a reset pin of the processor that needs to be reset. The first processor may reset itself after providing the reset signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: James Bielman, Kate Cummings, Edward Stephen Lowe, Jr.

Patent number: 9734477Abstract: A wearable device assembly has a housing supporting a controller, display and indicator system thereon. The controller has at least one sensor wherein activity of a user wearing the device is detected. The controller selectively illuminates the indicator system to indicate a level of activity of the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Aaron B. Weast, Jamian R. Cobbett, Kwamina Crankson, Brian Kash, Lola Oyibo, Edward Stephen Lowe, Jr., Marco Micheletti, Bert Buxton, Demi Raven, Kris Henderson, James Zipperer, Nikolaus Adrian Wittenstein, James Bielman, Kate Cummings, Jake Sprouse, J.
