Abstract
A protective headgear system includes protective headgear worn upon a head of a first user, a sensor physically coupled to the protective headgear, an audio device and a controller. The sensor measures an angular position of the protective headgear and detects an impact involving the protective headgear. The audio device selectively emits a sound based on the angular position of the protective headgear. The controller generates impact information by analyzing the impact and determining a susceptibility of the first user to a concussion.
Claims21
A protective headgear system comprising:
- protective headgear configured to be worn upon a head of a user;
- a sensor physically coupled to the protective headgear, wherein the sensor is configured to 1) measure an angular position of the protective headgear and 2) detect an impact involving the protective headgear;
- an audio device configured to selectively emit a sound based on the angular position of the protective headgear;
- and
- a controller configured to generate impact information by analyzing the impact and determining a susceptibility of the user to a concussion.

A method of protecting a user with a protective headgear system including protective headgear configured to be worn upon a head of the user, a sensor physically coupled to the protective headgear, an audio device and a controller, the method comprising:
- measuring, with the sensor, an angular position of the protective headgear;
- detecting, with the sensor, an impact involving the protective headgear;
- selectively emitting a sound, with the audio device, based on the angular position of the protective headgear;
- and
- generating impact information, with the controller, by analyzing the impact and determining a susceptibility of the user to a concussion.
