Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring motion parameters of an object are described in the present disclosure. In an embodiment, a sensor, coupled to a housing, senses motion associated with the housing and provides a sensor output based on the sensed motion. A processing device receives the sensor output, accumulates counts associated with the sensor output, and provides an output once a threshold associated with the accumulated counts is reached. A vibrotactile device, that receives the output from the processing device, provides a haptic output in response to the output from the processing device.

39. An apparatus comprising:
-
a motion sensing device supported by an object and configured to sense a plurality of motion parameters related to the movement of the object caused by forces exerted on the object by a user; a processing device configured to sum the plurality of motion parameters and to determine when the sum reaches a predetermined threshold; and an alerting device configured to alert the user when the sum reaches the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 53, 54, 55)
