Abstract
Systems and techniques for the collection and display of athletic information. Athletic data relating to a single person or group of people is collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed at a desired remote location so that the person or people can review and critique their performance. In addition, athletic data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.
Claims19
A mobile athletic monitoring system comprising:
- a first sensor configured to sense athletic performance data of a first user during a first time period;
- a processor;
- a user interface;
- a transceiver;
- a user-input mechanism;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor perform at least:
- receive, from the first sensor, athletic performance data of the first user during the first time period;
- process, the athletic performance data of the first user to calculate a first metric output and a first total metric output of the first user;
- receive, electronically via the transceiver, a second metric output calculated from athletic performance data of a second user during a second time period and a second total metric output of the second user;
- transmit, to the user interface, the first metric output of the first user and the first total metric output of the first user, and the second metric output of the second user and the second total metric output of the second user;
- simultaneously display, by the user interface, the first metric output of the first user and the first total metric output of the first user, and the second metric output of the second user and the second total metric output of the second user, and including a user selectable electronic descriptor of audio data presented to the second user during the second time period;
- and
- receive, at the user-input mechanism, a user input from the first user to select the audio data, and in response, transmitting to the first user at least a portion of audio data.
A computer-implemented method of displaying athletic data, comprising:
- receiving, electronically from a first sensor, athletic performance data of a first user competing for a challenge goal, where the challenge goal is a total metric value;
- displaying, by a display unit, a user interface comprising a first display area and a second display area, where the first display area is configured to display a first metric value and the first user's progress towards the challenge goal, and the second display area is configured to display a second metric value, wherein:
- the first metric value is obtained from the athletic performance data of the first user during a first time period,
- the second metric value is obtained from athletic performance data of a second user during a second time period, and
- the second display area includes a user selectable electronic descriptor representing audio data presented to the second user during the second time period, wherein the first display area and the second display area are displayed simultaneously;
- and
- receiving a user input from the first user, the user input configured to select the user selectable electronic descriptor representing the audio data, and in response, transmitting to the first user at least a portion of audio data.
A computer-implemented method of displaying athletic data, comprising:
- receiving, electronically from a first sensor, athletic performance data of a first user from at least one previously performed athletic performance;
- receiving, electronically from a second sensor, athletic performance data of a second user from at least one previously performed athletic performance;
- displaying, by a display unit of an electronic device to the first user during the athletic performance of the first user, a user interface comprising a first display area configured to display at least one metric of the at least one previously performed athletic performance data of the first user, and a second display area configured to display at least one metric of the athletic performance data of the second user from at least one previously performed athletic performance and a user selectable electronic descriptor of audio data presented to the second user during the at least one previously performed athletic performance of the second user, wherein the first display area and the second display area are displayed simultaneously;
- and
- receiving via a user input device of the electronic device, a user input from the first user configured to select the user selectable electronic descriptor of audio data, and in response, transmitting to the first user at least a portion of audio data presented to the second user during the second user's athletic performance.
