Abstract
A system for determining the trajectory of a sport object propelled via an implement using a single mobile device includes a single mobile device and a sensor in the single mobile device. The system further includes a swing radius module, the swing radius module calculating a swing radius of an implement swung by a user. The system further includes a notification module, the notification module providing a notification to the user that the swing radius is outside of a viewing frame of the sensor.
Claims19
A system for determining a trajectory of a sport object propelled via an implement using a single mobile device, the system comprising:
- a smartphone or tablet;
- a first sensor disposed within the smartphone or tablet;
- a swing radius module running on the smartphone or tablet, the swing radius module calculating a swing radius of an implement swung by a user based on sensor data obtained from the first sensor;
- a notification module running on the smartphone or tablet, the notification module providing a notification to the user whether a portion of the swing radius is outside of a viewing frame of the first sensor;
- and
- a second sensor disposed at a known distance from the first sensor, wherein the second sensor is separate from the smartphone or tablet and in wired or wireless communication with the smartphone or tablet.
A system for determining a trajectory of a sport object propelled via an implement using a mobile device, the system comprising:
- a smartphone or tablet;
- a first sensor disposed within the smartphone or tablet;
- a second sensor separate from the smartphone or tablet and in wired or wireless communication with the smartphone or tablet, wherein a first-second inter-sensor distance between the first sensor and the second sensor is known;
- swing radius module configured to determine whether the entire swing radius of the implement is within a viewing frame of the first sensor;
- and
- a trajectory module configured to, based on the entire swing radius of the implement being within a viewing frame of the first sensor using the swing radius, correlate images from the first sensor and the second sensor using the first-second inter-sensor distance to compute a trajectory of the sport object.
A system for determining a trajectory of a sport object propelled via an implement using a smartphone or tablet, the system comprising:
- software running on the smartphone or tablet and configured to communicate with a first sensor disposed on the smartphone or tablet;
- a second sensor separate from the smartphone or tablet, wherein a first-second inter-sensor distance between the first sensor and the second sensor is known;
- a swing radius module of the software, the swing radius module calculating, based on the images from the first sensor and the second sensor, a swing radius of an implement swung by a user;
- a trajectory module of the software configured to based on the entire swing radius being within a viewing frame of the first sensor, correlate images from the first sensor and the second sensor using the first-second inter-sensor distance to compute a trajectory of the sport object;
- and
- a notification module of the software, the notification module providing a notification to the user the swing radius is outside of a viewing frame of the sensor.
