Abstract
A shot tracking and feedback system is disclosed that uses a motion sensor incorporated within a housing worn on a wrist of a user to determine and provide performance feedback based on a determined movement before the shot was fired and the determined accuracy of the shot striking a moving target, such as a clay target. The performance feedback and additional information may be provided on a display. A user may utilize the presented performance feedback to improve shooting accuracy.
Claims20
A shot tracking and feedback system comprising:
- a display;
- a motion sensor incorporated within a housing worn on a wrist of a user and configured to determine motion data corresponding to movements of the user while holding a weapon;
- a memory configured to store motion data received from the motion sensor;
- a processing system communicatively coupled with the memory, the processing system configured to:
- determine a movement of the user before the shot was fired,
- determine an accuracy of the shot fired from the weapon successfully striking a moving target,
- determine performance feedback based on the determined movement and the determined accuracy of the shot, and
- control the display to present the performance feedback.
A shot tracking and feedback system comprising:
- a display;
- a motion sensor incorporated within an external sensor device housing worn on a wrist of a user and configured to determine motion data corresponding to movements of the user while holding a weapon;
- a communication element configured to wirelessly receive the sensor data from the motion sensor;
- a memory communicatively coupled with the communication element, the memory configured to store motion data received from the motion sensor;
- a processing system communicatively coupled with the memory, the processing system configured to:
- determine a movement of the user before the shot was fired,
- determine an accuracy of the shot fired from the weapon successfully striking a moving target,
- determine performance feedback based on the determined movement and the determined accuracy of the shot, and
- control the display to present the performance feedback.
A shot tracking and feedback system comprising:
- a display;
- a gyroscope configured to determine motion data corresponding to movements of the user while holding a weapon, the gyroscope incorporated within watch worn on a wrist of a user;
- a communication element configured to wirelessly receive the sensor data from the motion sensor;
- a memory communicatively coupled with the communication element, the memory configured to store motion data received from the motion sensor;
- a processing system communicatively coupled with the memory, the processing system configured to:
- determine a movement of the user and a position of the weapon held by the user before the shot was fired based on the motion data, the determined movement including an unintentional movement,
- determine an accuracy of the shot fired from the weapon successfully striking a moving target,
- determine performance feedback based on the determined movement, the determined position of the weapon, and the determined accuracy of the shot, and
- control the display to present the performance feedback.
