Patents by Inventor Wilbert Q. Murdock

Wilbert Q. Murdock has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20210265055
    Abstract: The invention incorporates a network and modules to register and monitor a group leader and a plurality of participants for a specific group activity, each remotely located from each other and a group physiological state server. Each of a plurality of module and individual registration information of each participant is stored in the form of data in memory on the server and individual participant data is stored at each participant's location. The second module monitors and processes real-time physiological measurements for each of the participants in the specific group activity. A third module tracks a physiological state of the participants, and fourth module evaluates and applies artificial intelligence to provide real-time feedback concerning the physiological state of the group or of an individual. A fifth module may also be employed to provide feedback pertaining to the group leader's physiological state in relation to the overall group physiological state.

  • Publication number: 20210197059
    Abstract: Real-time sports competition is hosted by a server between remote opponents. The interactive sports game play involves sport specific tools simulating equipment used for in-person sports competition with projectiles. Opponents are paired for sports competition using the sport specific tools, including identifying opponents from the plurality of players to compete. A competitive sports game is hosted between the paired opponents by receiving input from each player sourced from a sport specific tool with sensors to determine motion of the specific sport tool caused by players, and wireless circuitry to transmit motion data to the user computers, wherein motion data includes at least velocity and impact force against a projectile. A winner of the competitive sports game can be determined.

  • Publication number: 20200338424
    Abstract: A multifunctional self-contained system that wirelessly integrates actual sports equipment with a computer providing critical feedback to improve all aspects of a player's game, and also allows players to play an actual competitive real or visually simulated game or sports with one or more players. Therefore, an individual player may opt to play solo or practice to improve basic golfing skills and techniques. The system includes sport implements that include, but are not limited to, smart golf clubs, a golf ball receptacle and a golf club motion sensing device, all containing circuits with contact sensors and or motion sensors coupled with signal processing and radio frequency transmitter circuitry to wirelessly communicate game status and performance parameters to a remote receiver and computer.

  • Patent number: 9802129
    Abstract: A system that wirelessly integrates actual sports equipment with a computer and the internet to allow players remotely located from one another to play a competitive simulated sports game. An individual player may opt to play solo or practice to improve basic techniques. The system includes motion sensors connected to the player and a motion sensing device, all containing circuits and contact or motion sensors coupled with signal processing and radio frequency transmitter circuitry, thereby wirelessly communicate game performance information to a remote receiver-computer. The computer displays player information and visually simulates and controls a game between two players via the internet, having similar equipment and remotely located from each other. Standard sports equipment may be retrofitted with the sensors and associated circuitry to convert such equipment into “smart equipment” for use with the system.

  • Publication number: 20080188310
    Abstract: A flying saucer shaped device, with a top and bottom pieces, which can close together like a clam. There are six flat iconic images on the button like smooth appendages at top surface, which represent six major sports such as Golf, Chess, Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, and Boxing/Martial Arts. The device is made of lightweight materials. When a specific original or cloned sports apparatus is operating the iconic image on the top of device, lights up, indicating the type of sports apparatus in use. An internet sports computer with cellular transmission capabilities and wireless processor receiver and wireless digital device interfacing capability allow communications and iconic graphical information exchange between a plurality of intelligent original and cloned sports apparatus, and other internet sports computer cellular systems using embedded multiplayer software. Captured data is displayed in a variety of ways.
