BELT-MOUNTED MOVEMENT SENSOR SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A belt-mounted movement sensor system for tracking and recording movement data of a midsection of a user, the system comprising:
- a flexible belt shaped to be worn around and abut the midsection of the user;
an array of accelerometers disposed on or within the flexible belt to physically associate with positions on the midsection of the user, each of the array of accelerometers having a sample rate that can be configured for sensing body movement during a movement activity;
a power source operably connected to the array of accelerometers; and
a data collection system operably connected to the array of accelerometers, the data collection system having a means for receiving data from the array of accelerometers and processing that data into a storable format.

Abstract
A belt-mounted movement sensor system apparatus has a flexible belt shaped to be worn around the midsection of the user. The system has an array of accelerometers disposed on or within the flexible belt to physically associate with positions on the midsection of the user. Each array of accelerometers has a sample rate that can be configured for sensing body movement during a movement activity. A power source and a data collection system are operably connected to the array of accelerometers. The data collection system has a means for receiving data from the array of accelerometers and processing that data into a storable format.

5. A belt-mounted movement sensor system for tracking and recording movement data of a midsection of a user, the system comprising:
-
a flexible belt adapted to be worn around the midsection of the user, the flexible belt having a planar body shaped to abut the midsection of the user, and at least one storage compartment; an array of accelerometers disposed on or within the planar body of the flexible belt to physically associate with positions on the midsection of the user, each of the array of accelerometers having a sample rate that can be configured for sensing body movement during a movement activity; a power source stored in the at least one storage compartment of the flexible belt and operably connected to the array of accelerometers; and a data collection system adapted to be stored in the at least one storage compartment of the flexible belt and operably connected to the array of accelerometers, the data collection system having a means for receiving data from the array of accelerometers and processing that data into a storable format. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
