Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of behavior sensing and recording device. More specifically, the present invention is to measure and record full motion related signals on a part of putter.
A miniaturized data logging device for golf putters that records outputs from motion sensors during whole game is described. Utilizing accelerometers, the device obtains relative motion invoked at a putter head without affecting player'"'"'s performance. The device also records such information for multiple incidents or for an indefinite period of time. The device will be attached on the surface of a putter head at which motion behavior analysis takes place. The present invention uses high density memory chip and USB for data transfer. The flash multi media storage card is also used for transferring the recorded data to personal computing devices such as personal computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or a plurality of mobile devices. Data transfer is facilitated by a data uploading utility, which automatically detects inserting media and assists to transfer the record data into a file folder in the personal computing devices.
The present invention can be used for either training purpose or recording in situ behavior of player during actual games or events. Sufficient data recorded and analyzed during training can be used as reference performance data to compare the actual behavior of the player during the events. When the present invention is combined other recording devices for physiological data such as heart rate as well as user-determined action result, the player can recognize what happened during the events through post-analysis of the recorded behavior which can be helpful to modify strategy or improve training method for the player.
