System and method for analyzing activity of a body

The system set forth in claim 52 wherein each of said plurality of said acceleration measuring devices of said sensor is associable with said body so that each of said plurality of acceleration measuring devices of said sensor is aligned along one co-ordinate of a three dimensional co-ordinate system.

A method of operating a system to evaluate body activity relative an environment wherein a sensor is associated with said body, said method of operation comprising the step of processing, with a processor, repeatedly sensed dynamic and static accelerative phenomena of said body as a function of at least one accelerative event characteristic and an environmental representation to thereby determine whether said evaluated body activity is within environmental tolerance.

A system that evaluates movement of a body relative to an environment, said system comprising:

• a sensor, associable with said body, that senses accelerative phenomena of said body relative to a three dimensional frame of reference in said environment, said sensor comprising a plurality of acceleration measuring devices;
• and
• a processor, associated with said sensor, that processes said sensed accelerative phenomena of said body as a function of at least one accelerative event characteristic to thereby determine whether said evaluated body movement is within an environmental tolerance, and to thereby determine whether said body has experienced dynamic acceleration due to external forces by subtracting a value of gravitational acceleration from the total acceleration experienced by said body.

The system set forth in claim 53 where said three dimensional co-ordinate system is a Cartesian co-ordinate system.

A method of operating a system to evaluate movement of a body relative an environment wherein a sensor is associated with said body, said method of operation comprising the steps of:

• processing, with a processor, repeatedly sensed accelerative phenomena of said body as a function of at least one accelerative event characteristic to thereby determine whether said evaluated body movement is within environmental tolerance;
• and
• determining whether said body has experienced dynamic acceleration due to external forces by subtracting a value of gravitational acceleration from the total acceleration experienced by said body.
