Abstract
The present invention provides a group monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the device including a display configured to display, during an athletic activity: a metric relating to each of a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, and a status of a system component used to monitor the athletic activity. The group monitoring device may also include an input configured to allow manipulation of the display.
Claims31
A group monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the device comprising:
- a display configured to display, during an athletic activity:
- a metric relating to each of a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, and
- a status of a system component used to monitor the athletic activity;
- and
- an input configured to allow manipulation of the display,
- wherein the status is displayed in response to the status passing a system alert threshold and corresponds to an alert indication on a remote monitor.
A method for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the method comprising:
- displaying, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity;
- and
- displaying, during the athletic activity, a status of a system component used to monitor the athletic activity,
- wherein the status is displayed in response to the status passing a system alert threshold and corresponds to an alert indication on a remote monitor, and
- wherein at least one of the displaying the plurality of metrics and the displaying the status of the system component is performed using at least one processor.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising computer-useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, provides to a user performance information related to an athletic activity engaged in by a plurality of individuals, the computer program logic comprising:
- first computer-readable program code that enables a processor to display, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity;
- and
- second computer-readable program code that enables a processor to display, during the athletic activity, a status of a system component used to monitor the athletic activity,
- wherein the status is displayed in response to the status passing a system alert threshold and corresponds to an alert indication on a remote monitor, and
- wherein at least one of the displaying the plurality of metrics and the displaying the status of the system component is performed using at least one processor.
A group monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the device comprising:
- a display configured to display, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, each metric relating to one of the plurality of individuals;
- and
- an input configured to allow manipulation of the display,
- wherein a metric of the plurality of metrics is a relative metric that provides an indication of relative power of the associated individual, and
- wherein the relative power is an indication of power output of the associated individual relative to a personal reference power output of the associated individual.
A method for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the method comprising:
- displaying, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, each metric relating to one of the plurality of individuals, wherein a metric of the plurality of metrics is a relative metric, and wherein the relative metric provides an indication of a level of performance of its associated individual relative to personal ability of the associated individual;
- and
- determining a reference value for the relative metric based on a calibration assessment activity, wherein the relative metric is based on the reference value,
- wherein at least one of the displaying the plurality of metrics and the determining the reference value is performed using at least one processor.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising computer-useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, provides to a user performance information related to an athletic activity engaged in by a plurality of individuals, the computer program logic comprising:
- computer-readable program code that enables a processor to display, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, each metric relating to one of the plurality of individuals, wherein a metric of the plurality of metrics is a relative metric, and wherein the relative metric provides an indication of a level of performance of its associated individual, relative to personal ability of the associated individual;
- and
- computer-readable program code that enables a processor to determine a reference value for the relative metric based on a calibration assessment activity, wherein the relative metric is based on the reference value.
A group monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the device comprising:
- a display configured to display, during the athletic activity, a plurality of metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, each metric relating to one of the plurality of individuals;
- and
- an input configured to allow manipulation of the display,
- wherein a metric of the plurality of metrics is a relative metric, and
- wherein the relative metric provides an indication of efficiency of its associated individual.
