Abstract
Athletic activity monitoring methods and systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor module is physically coupled to an object during an athletic activity conducted by a user. An athletic activity monitoring method for use with the sensor module includes the steps of detecting movement of the object, recording movement data, identifying a matching athletic motion from a plurality of reference motions by comparing the movement data to data associated with the plurality of reference motions, and providing an output to the user that conveys the identity of the matching athletic motion.
Claims33
An athletic activity monitoring method for use with a sensor module that is physically coupled to an object during an athletic activity conducted by a user, the athletic activity monitoring method comprising:
- the sensor module detecting movement of the object at a first time;
- the sensor module determining that the movement of the object corresponds to a predetermined activation movement;
- the sensor module entering an active state in response to the determination that the movement of the object corresponds to the predetermined activation movement;
- and
- upon the sensor module entering the active state, detecting movement of the object at a second time.

An athletic activity monitoring method for use with a sensor module that is physically coupled to an object during an athletic activity conducted by a user, the athletic activity monitoring method comprising:
- obtaining data about the movement of the object from an acceleration sensor of the sensor module;
- obtaining data about the movement of the object from a magnetic field sensor of the sensor module;
- determining an activity metric based on the data about the movement of the object from an acceleration sensor and the data about the movement of the object from a magnetic field sensor;
- and
- comparing the activity metric to an exemplary activity metric;
- and
- providing feedback to the user about how the activity metric compares to the exemplary activity metric.
