Speed measurement device with statistic gathering capability

A speed measuring device using radar that can calculate and store statistical information, the device comprising:

• a trigger operable to cause a radar emitter to emit emitted radar waves and a radar receiver to receive received radar waves that have been reflected from a target when the trigger is activated, wherein the trigger is further operable to cause the emitter to stop emitting the emitted radar waves and cause the device to lock onto a target speed when the trigger is deactivated;
• a signal processor operable to perform calculations based upon changes in the radar waves thereby determining the target speed;
• a statistical processor operable to calculate statistics associated with the target, wherein the statistics include a last speed and an average speed;
• and
• an enter button operable to cause the statistical processor to calculate the statistics using the target speed.

A radar speed measurement device that can calculate and store statistical information, the device comprising:

• a display operable to display a target speed;
• a trigger operable to cause a radar emitter to emit emitted radar waves, cause a radar receiver to receive received radar waves that have been reflected from a target, and cause the display to display the target speed when the trigger is activated, wherein the trigger is further operable to cause the emitter to stop emitting the emitted radar waves and cause the device to lock onto the target speed when the trigger is deactivated;
• a processor operable to perform calculations based upon changes in the radar waves thereby determining the target speed and calculate statistics associated with the target, wherein the statistics include a last speed, an average speed a pitch count, a number of balls, and a number of strikes;
• a memory operable to store at least some of the statistics for more than one player;
• a first button operable to cause the processor to calculate the statistics using the target speed and increment the pitch count;
• a second button operable to cause the processor to increment the number of balls;
• and
• a third button operable to cause the processor to increment the number of strikes.
