Wireless system for monitoring and analysis of skiing

A ski monitoring system comprising:

• at least one wireless port for providing bi-directional communication with one or more MEMS sensors or actuators, wherein the at least one wireless port is usable in providing wireless communication in a local area;
• a wireless port providing bi-directional communication with a cellular service provider network, wherein the service provider provides wireless communication in a macro area using a base station;
• a processor coupled to the at least one wireless port;
• a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium comprises executable program instructions to:
• at the specified intervals retrieve information from the sensor sub-system, and based on such information and the selected user information, and the ski equipment information, perform piece-wise calculation of velocity moments and reactive forces applied to the skis and skier body;
• provide corrective or emergency feedback to the actuators embedded in the ski equipment;
• and
• to construct graphical representation of the skier body during the run;
• store these piece-wise calculation in the mobile terminal memory or transmit them to the remote destination;
• a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium comprises storage of the system operational parameters:
• user information;
• the selected user ski equipment information;
• a ski slope topological information;
• type and location of sensors and actuators;
• IP addresses of the remote computer systems for downloading of the topological information and uploading measurement information;
• and
• a user interface to allow entry of the system operational parameters.
