MONITORING HIT COUNT FOR IMPACT EVENTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for quantifying physical impacts to an object, the device comprising;
- a data receiver to receive data indicative of a measure of a physical impact to an object, wherein the data is measured by a sensor coupled to a portion of the object, and wherein in the sensor is further configured to detect a measure of a physical impact to the object; and
a hit count monitor, wherein the hit count monitor quantifies data indicative of a first number of the physical impacts to the object that exceed a first predetermined threshold value of imparted energy based on the measure of the physical impact.

Abstract
The systems and methods are provided for monitoring the forces and impacts to an object. The systems and method disclosed herein can be used to monitor forces and impacts to a human subject. In some implementations, the system can be disposed into conformal electronics that can be coupled directly to an object or disposed of other objects such as clothing and protective gear. The system can include a storage module to allow for data to be reviewed and analyzed. In some implementations, the system can also include an indicator. In some implementations, the indicator can be used to display real time analysis of impacts made by the system.
