  • Patent number: 11941916
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating and providing guided practices and coaching feedback (e.g., illustrated in 3D images, video, or audio) that allow golfers to follow along to improve their physical swing in a digital environment. The feedback may be provided with a 3D avatar using a biomechanical analysis of observed actions with a focus on representing actions through computer-generated 3D avatars. Physical quantities of biomechanical actions can be measured from the observations, and the system can analyze these values, compare them to target or optimal values, and use the observations and known biomechanical capabilities to generate the guided practices and coaching feedback.

  • Publication number: 20230342969
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for computer vision and AI technology for implementing a temporal-based two-dimensional (2D) human pose estimation method for golf swing analysis using temporal information to improve the accuracy of fast-moving and partially self-occluded key points. The system may, for example, determine a bounding box to incorporate with an image received from a user device; initiate a 2D inference process on the image to generate a final 2D image; provide a final 2D image and set of confidence scores for each corresponding with the key point of the image to a three-dimensional (3D) inference process and Perspective-n-Point (PnP) process; using output from the 3D inference process and the PNP process, generate a 3D image that is altered in accordance with a distance value between the user device and the camera; and provide the 3D image to the user device.

  • Patent number: 9495957
    Abstract: A mobile system is provided that includes speech-based and non-speech-based interfaces for telematics applications. The mobile system identifies and uses context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for users that submit requests and/or commands in multiple domains. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network.
