Publication number: 20160184713Abstract: The systems and methods described herein attempt to provide data capture and analysis in a non-intrusive fashion. The captured data can be analyzed for qualitative conclusions regarding an object's actions. For example, a system for analyzing activity of an athlete to permit qualitative assessments of that activity comprises a first processor to receive activity-related data from sensors on the athlete. A first database stores the activity-related data. A second database contains pre-identified motion rules. A second processor compares the received activity-related data to the pre-identified motion rules, wherein the second processor identifies a pre-identified motion from the pre-identified motion rules that corresponds to the received activity-related data. A memory stores the identified pre-selected motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Timothy MOHN, Michael GABRIEL, Jamyn EDIS, Thomas IGOE, Despina PAPADOPOULOUS, Zachary EVELAND
