Multi-sensor monitoring of athletic performance
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, from at least an integrated location determining sensor and a heart rate sensor, athletic performance data of an athlete moving along a route, the data relating to at least one physical characteristic and at least one physiological characteristic measured during the athletic performance along the route;
outputting for display, information relating to the athletic performance; and
calculating a difficultly ranking of the route, expressed as a single value, based on the at least one physical characteristic, the at least one physiological characteristic, and prevailing weather information,wherein the outputting for display is configured to simultaneously display at least a portion of the athletic performance data relating to the physical characteristic and the physiological characteristic correlated to topographical information on a mapped representation of the route.

Abstract
Athletic performance monitoring systems and methods, many of which utilize, in some manner, global positioning satellite (“GPS”) data, provide data and information to athletes and/or to equipment used by athletes during an athletic event. Such systems and methods may provide route information to athletes and/or their trainers, e.g., for pre-event planning, goal setting, and calibration purposes. Such systems and methods optionally may provide real time information to the athlete while the event takes place, e.g., to assist in reaching the pre-set goals. Additionally, data and information collected by such systems and methods may assist in post-event analysis for athletes and their trainers, e.g., to evaluate past performances and to assist in improving future performances.

15. An athletic monitoring device, comprising:
-
a location determining sensor configured to obtain data relating to a series of time-stamped athletic data points of the athlete during an athletic performance, wherein the athletic performance includes movement of the athlete along a route; a non-transitory computer-readable medium that comprises computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, performs at least; calculating with the processor, data relating to at least one of a speed or a distance moved by the athlete along the route during the athletic performance; calculating a difficultly ranking of the route, expressed as a single value, based on the at least one of a speed or a distance moved by the athlete, and prevailing weather along the route during the athletic performance determining whether the route corresponds to a route used during a previous athletic performance; outputting for display, information relating to at least one of the speed or the distance moved by the athlete during the athletic performance and information relating to at least one of the speed or the distance moved during the previous athletic performance along with topographical information of the route on a map, wherein a representation of the route is based on the calculated difficulty ranking. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
