Multi-Sensor Monitoring of Athletic Performance
First Claim
1. An athletic performance monitoring system, comprising:
- an altitude measuring system that obtains data relating to an altitude at an athlete'"'"'s location along a route for an athletic performance as the athletic performance is taking place;
a first athletic performance monitor that provides data relating to at least one of a speed or a distance moved by the athlete;
a second athletic performance monitor that provides data relating to physiological data relating to the athlete'"'"'s performance;
means for storing data relating to the athlete'"'"'s performance, wherein the means for storing stores at least some data collected via the altitude measuring system, the first athletic performance monitor, and the second athletic performance monitor; and
means for displaying at least some data collected via the altitude measuring system, the first athletic performance monitor, and the second athletic performance monitor in a time correlated manner, wherein the means for displaying simultaneously displays at least some of the data relating to the altitude, at least some of the data relating to the speed or distance moved by the athlete, and at least some of the data relating to the physiological data in the time correlated manner after the athletic performance has been completed, and wherein the means for displaying displays a representation of the route on a map along with at least some of the data collected via the altitude measuring system, the first athletic performance monitor, and the second athletic performance monitor.

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.

13. An athletic performance monitoring system, comprising:
-
means for receiving input data relating to an athletic performance; and means for displaying information relating to the athletic performance, wherein the information displayed correlates at least one physical characteristic of the athletic performance to time, distance, or location along a route used during the athletic performance, wherein the information displayed correlates at least one physiological characteristic of the athletic performance to time, distance, or location along the route used during the athletic performance, wherein the means for displaying simultaneously displays at least some of the data relating to the physical characteristic and at least some of the data relating to the physiological characteristic correlated to time, distance, or location along the route after the athletic performance has been completed, and wherein means for displaying displays a representation of the route on a map along with at least some of the data relating to the physical characteristic and at least some of the data relating to the physiological characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An athletic performance monitoring system, comprising:
-
a global positioning satellite receiver that obtains data relating to a series of time-stamped position points encountered during an athletic performance; means for determining data relating to at least one of a speed or a distance moved by an athlete during the athletic performance based, at least in part, on the data from the global positioning satellite receiver; means for determining whether a route covered during the athletic performance corresponds to a route covered during a previous athletic performance based on data obtained via the global positioning satellite receiver during the athletic performance; means for comparing the data relating to at least one of the speed or the distance moved by the athlete during the athletic performance with data relating to the speed or the distance moved during the previous athletic performance when the route covered during the athletic performance is determined to have corresponded to the route covered during the previous athletic performance; and means for displaying 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, wherein the means for displaying displays the information along with a representation of the route on a map. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
