First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for use in a system for monitoring protective headgear, the wireless device comprising:
- a sensor module, coupled to the protective headgear that generates sensor data in response to an impact to the protective headgear, wherein the sensor module includes an accelerometer and a gyroscope and wherein the sensor data includes linear acceleration data and rotational velocity data;
a device processing module, coupled to the sensor module, that generates event data in response to the sensor data; and
a device interface, coupled to the sensor module and the device processing module, that is coupleable to a monitoring device and that sends the event data to the monitoring device when the device interface is coupled to the monitoring device.

Abstract
A sensor module generates sensor data in response to an impact to protective headgear, wherein the sensor module includes an accelerometer and a gyroscope and wherein the sensor data includes linear acceleration data and rotational velocity data. A device processing module generates event data in response to the sensor data. A device interface sends the event data to a monitoring device when the device interface is coupled to the monitoring device.
