MOTION EVENT RECOGNITION AND VIDEO SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A motion event recognition and video synchronization system comprising:
- at least one motion capture element configured to couple with a user or piece of equipment or mobile device coupled with the user, wherein said at least one motion capture element comprisesa memory;
a sensor configured to capture any combination of values associated with an orientation, position, velocity and acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;
a radio;
a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio, wherein said microcontroller is configured tocollect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor;
store said data in said memory;
analyze said data and recognize an event within said data to determine event data;
transmit said event data associated with said event via said radio;
a mobile device comprisinga computer;
a wireless communication interface configured tocommunicate with said radio to obtain said event data associated with said event;
wherein said computer is coupled with wireless communication interface, wherein said computer is configured toreceive said event data from said wireless communication interface;
analyze said event data to form motion analysis data;
store said event data, or said motion analysis data, or both said event data and said motion analysis data;
obtain an event start time and an event stop time from said event;
request image data from camera comprising a video captured at least during a timespan from said event start time to said event stop time;
display an event video on a display comprising both ofsaid event data, said motion analysis data or any combination thereof that occurs during said timespan from said event start time to said event stop timeandsaid video captured during said timespan from said event start time to said event stop time.

Abstract
Enables recognition of events within motion data obtained from portable wireless motion capture elements and video synchronization of the events with video as the events occur or at a later time, based on location and/or time of the event or both. May use integrated camera or external cameras with respect to mobile device to automatically generate generally smaller event videos of the event on the mobile device or server. Also enables analysis or comparison of movement associated with the same user, other user, historical user or group of users. Provides low memory and power utilization and greatly reduces storage for video data that corresponds to events such as a shot, move or swing of a player, a concussion of a player, or other medical related events or events, such as the first steps of a child, or falling events.
