Abstract: A method and system for monitoring sports performance of an athlete includes a sensor for monitoring movement of the athlete, a sensor for monitoring a position of the athlete, and a controller for receiving information of the monitored signals from the sensors, wherein the controller includes a filter for filtering the received signals. The system also includes a cloud database for receiving and storing the data sent by the controller, and the cloud includes a filter for filtering and processing the data received from the controller. The system further includes a user interface for displaying the processed data showing the sports performance, received from the cloud.

Abstract: A system for providing network element protection includes a backup network element (101) having a first configuration table storing first configuration data, an active network element (102) having a second configuration table storing second configuration data, and a controller (117) arranged to update the first configuration data according to changes of the second configuration data. The controller is arranged to carry out the updating when the active network element operates according to the second configuration data as a part of a data transfer network (100). Hence, the configuration data of the backup network element is maintained and managed as if backup network element were actively in use.
