Abstract
A system and method configured to receive or obtain action quality data related to a user's action with a tool, such as a swing with a golf club, and corresponding pressure data related to the user's grip on the tool during the action. The system and method are configured to determine a correlation between the pressure data and action quality data, which may be normalized to remove the effects of gravity if the data is collected with a sensor that is sensitive to gravity, and output at least one indicator related to the correlation.
Claims20
A system configured to correlate grip pressure and action quality, the system comprising:
- a grip pressure sensor positionable, in use, on a tool configured to be gripped by a user;
- an action quality sensor positionable, in use, on the tool or the user, the action quality sensor configured to measure a quality of an action;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive action quality data from the action quality sensor;
- determine information related to the occurrence of an action including a motion of the tool;
- receive pressure data from the grip pressure sensor, the pressure data related to the pressure of a user's grip on the tool during the action;
- determine a correlation between the pressure data and the action quality data such that a relationship between the user's grip on the tool during the action and a quality of the action is inferred;
- and
- output a first indicator corresponding to the correlation between the pressure data and the action quality data.
A method configured to correlate grip pressure and action quality, the method comprising the steps:
- receiving, from an action quality sensor, action quality data related to an action of a user with a tool;
- determining, with the processor, information related to the occurrence of an action including a motion of the tool;
- receiving, from a grip pressure sensor, pressure data, wherein the pressure data is related to the pressure of a user's grip on the tool during the action;
- determining, with the processor, a correlation between the pressure data and the action quality data such that a relationship between the user's grip on the tool during the action and a quality of the action is inferred;
- and
- outputting, with the processor, a first indicator corresponding to the correlation between the pressure data and the action quality data.
