Abstract
A head guard is provided. The head guard includes one or more sensors as part of an sensory input and communications system. The head guard wirelessly communicates data to remote computing devices for intelligent data collection.
Claims20
A data collection system, comprising
- a head guard comprising:
- a multi-layered sidewall, wherein the multi-layered sidewall forms a dome, wherein the dome defines a circular opening for a head of a wearer and a plurality of sensor ports, and wherein the multi-layered sidewall comprises:
- a stretchable fabric layer, and
- a padding layer;
- and
- a removable cover system selectably attachable to the multi-layered sidewall, wherein the removable cover system has an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein a portion of the inner surface of the removable cover system is attachable to a portion of the dome to maintain the position of the removable cover system relative to the dome;
- and
- a sensory input and communications system, wherein at least a portion of the sensory input and communications system is positioned between the cover system and the multi-layered sidewall, the sensory input and communications systems comprises:
- a microcontroller,
- a plurality of sensors that are each in communication with the microcontroller, wherein each of the plurality of sensors are removably received into a respective one of the plurality of sensors ports,
- a communications unit, and
- a local indicator, wherein the microcontroller is configured to activate the local indicator upon a detected impact in excess of a predefined magnitude, wherein the local indicator comprises any of a visual device and an audio device;
- and
- an activity monitoring computing system to wirelessly receive data collected by the head guard, the activity monitoring computing system comprising at least one processor and non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- for the data received from the head guard, determine athlete information associated with the data based on the source of the data;
- group data based on one or more factors selected from the group of factors comprising sport, age, and geography;
- and
- generate aggregated data reporting based on the grouped data.

A data collection system, comprising
- a plurality of head guards, wherein each of the plurality of head guards comprises:
- a multi-layered sidewall, wherein the multi-layered sidewall forms a dome, wherein the dome defines a circular opening for a head of a wearer and a plurality of sensor ports, and
- a sensory input and communications system, wherein at least a portion of the sensory input and communications system is positioned between the cover system and the multi-layered sidewall, the sensory input and communications systems comprises:
- a microcontroller,
- a plurality of sensors that are each in communication with the microcontroller, wherein each of the plurality of sensors are removably received into a respective one of the plurality of sensors ports,
- a communications unit, and
- a local indicator, wherein the microcontroller is configured to activate the local indicator upon a detected impact in excess of a predefined magnitude, wherein the local indicator comprises any of a visual device and an audio device;
- and
- an activity monitoring computing system to wirelessly receive data collected by each of the plurality of head guards, the activity monitoring computing system comprising at least one processor and non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- generate aggregated data reporting based on the grouped data.
