Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein describe methods and systems for collecting and processing telemetry data from a flying disc. The flying disc includes at least one sensor, and the flying disc system is configured to establish a wireless connection between the communications system and a computing device, transmit sensor data from the at least one sensor to an application operating on the computing device, and cause a display of the computing device to display a user interface depicting launch parameters and/or a simulated flight path of the throw.
Claims20
A method for processing telemetry data of a flying disc, the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless connection between an electronics package of the flying disc and a computing device, the electronics package including at least one sensor and a communications system;
- receiving sensor data of a throw from the electronics package of the flying disc via the wireless connection, wherein the sensor data is collected by the at least one sensor of the flying disc;
- identifying a release point of the flying disc by analyzing the sensor data;
- calculating, using sensor data collected over a predetermined period after the release point, at least one launch parameter of the throw;
- and
- displaying, via a user interface on a display of the computing device, the at least one launch parameter of the throw.
A telemetry enabled flying disc system comprising:
- a flying disc comprising an electronics package mounted to the flying disc, the electronics package comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, at least one sensor, and a communications system, wherein the telemetry enabled flying disc system is configured to store and execute instructions stored in the at least one memory that cause the at least one processor to:
- establish a wireless connection between the communications system and a computing device;
- transmit, via the wireless connection, sensor data from the at least one sensor to an application operating on the computing device, wherein transmitting the sensor data causes the application to analyze the sensor data to identify a release point of a throw of the flying disc;
- and
- cause a display of the computing device to display a user interface depicting at least one launch parameter of the throw, wherein the at least one launch parameter is calculated using sensor data collected over a predetermined period after the release point.
A telemetry enabled flying disc system comprising:
- a flying disc comprising an electronics package mounted to the flying disc, the electronics package comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, at least one sensor, and a communications system, wherein the telemetry enabled flying disc system is configured to store and execute instructions stored in the at least one memory that cause the at least one processor to:
- detect movement of the flying disc indicative of a throw;
- collect sensor data from the at least one sensor;
- transmit, via a wireless connection, sensor data from the at least one sensor to an application operating on a computing device, wherein transmitting the sensor data causes the application to analyze the data to identify a release point of a throw of the flying disc;
- cause a display of the computing device to display a user interface depicting at least one launch parameter of the throw, wherein the at least one launch parameter is calculated using sensor data collected over a predetermined period after the release point;
- and
- cause the user interface to display a simulated flight path of the throw, wherein the simulated flight path is simulated based upon the at least one launch parameter of the throw.
