System comprising ball with embedded sensor

A method of monitoring movement of a ball via a mobile terminal,

• the ball including a first sensor that functions as at least a triaxial acceleration sensor, a triaxial gyro sensor, and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor and a first communication unit that wirelessly transmits sensor data detected by the first sensor,
• the mobile terminal including a second communication unit,
• and the method comprising:
• pairing the first communication unit of the ball and the second communication unit of the mobile terminal;
• acquiring, by the mobile terminal, external information indicating an environment in which the paired ball moves independently;
• and
• generating ball movement data of the paired ball in which the sensor data of the paired ball obtained via the first communication unit and the second communication unit is associated with the external information.

A program product that is downloaded into a mobile terminal which includes a second communication unit that is paired with a first communication unit of a ball, the ball incorporating a first sensor that functions as at least a triaxial acceleration sensor, a triaxial gyro sensor, and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor and the first communication unit that wirelessly transmits sensor data detected by the first sensor,

• the program comprising instructions that cause the mobile terminal to function as:
• a unit that acquires external information indicating an environment in which the paired ball moves independently;
• a unit that generates ball movement data of the paired ball in which the sensor data of the paired ball obtained via the first communication unit and the second communication unit is associated with the external information;
• and
• a unit that stores the ball movement data via the Internet in a cloud server.

A ball comprising:

• a first sensor that functions as at least a triaxial acceleration sensor, a triaxial gyro sensor, and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor;
• and
• a first communication unit that wirelessly transmits sensor data detected by the first sensor,
• wherein the first communication unit is paired with a second communication unit included in a mobile terminal that acquires external information including a distance, a direction, and position information where the ball moves independently, the hail is paired and ball movement data of the paired ball in which the sensor data and the external information are associated is generated.
