Abstract
Wearable electronic devices that are designed to be worn on the head of a user while the user is swimming can determine swimming strokes and swimming performances of the user using motion sensors. Using a sound speaker, the wearable electronic device can play music and provide audio feedback to the swimmer. By comparing the swimming performance of the swimmer wearing the device with previously recorded swimming data, the wearable electronic device can provide audio comparison results to the swimmer while the swimmer is swimming in water. The wearable electronic device can also support similar functions for jumping actions.
Claims20
A wearable electronic device that is designed to be worn on the head of a user comprising:
- a motion sensor;
- an integrated circuit that uses the outputs of the motion sensor to determine the hang time and/or jumping height of the user when the user executes a jump by detecting sudden accelerations in the face (Ax) and head (Ay) directions that indicate the beginning of a jump, and by detecting accelerations that indicate the end of a jump;
- an electrical sound speaker,
- wherein the wearable electronic device can report the jumping height and/or hang time to the user using the electrical sound speaker while the user is wearing the wearable electronic device.
