Abstract: A method of analyzing swing of a player of a sport is disclosed. A system uses sensors to capture data representing a path of motion of a sporting good (such as a bat) object as a person swings the object toward a target (such as a ball), over multiple swings of the object. For each of the captured paths of motion, the system determines a slot representing a portion of the swing along which the object traveled in approximately a straight line leading to a point of impact with the target. The system saves the slots to a swing fingerprint data set in a data store. The system generates a visual representation of the swing fingerprint data set by outputting the slots on a display as viewed one or more viewing angles and/or dimensions.

Abstract: A system and methods for analyzing motions of items and humans who carry them are disclosed. The system a sensor configured to be connected to either a movable object or a person carrying the object. The sensor will generate data that represents movement of the object. The housing also holds a swing detection system that analyzes data generated by the sensor and identifies data representing a swing event. After determining that the data corresponds to a swing event, the swing detection system will determine whether a data transfer processor is communicatively connected to an external system. If it is connected, the swing detection system will transfer the data set to the data transfer processor for communication to the external system. Otherwise, the swing detection system will save a first copy of the data set to a temporary data storage device.

Abstract: A system for supervising an operator in a speech-driven environment includes an operator terminal configured for running a bi-directional speech task with an operator in a first spoken language wherein the speech task includes a plurality of successive nodes that are encountered by the operator, indicating progress through the task. A supervisor terminal is configured for running a bi-directional speech task with a supervisor in a second spoken language that is different from the first spoken language. A communication link exists between the operator terminal and supervisor terminal for communicating information therebetween. The operator terminal communicates, to the supervisor terminal, information regarding progress through the operator terminal speech task. The supervisor terminal progresses through the supervisor terminal speech task synchronized with the progress of the operator terminal speech task.

Abstract: An application executed on a computer running Windows or Vista, for example, allows the coach to take whatever sports statistics his heart desires and then provides the coach with the tools to analyze those statistics. Data entry of statistics is easy and specific embodiments contemplate voice recognition data entry and analysis and tagged video associated with one or more statistical event. The application runs as a desktop application but also synchs with an online database on a server for online access and synchs a particular statistic to a video clip of the event that created the statistic.
