Abstract

A computer-implemented method of evaluating a movement in a sporting environment may include receiving sensor data regarding player movement in a sporting environment, and receiving a contemporaneous rating evaluation of the movement from an individual associated with the movement. The method may also include displaying characteristics of the sensor data as a function of the rating evaluation.

Claims

12-1. The method of claim 1, wherein the player movement is a racket swing.

14. A computer-implemented method of evaluating a swing movement in a sporting environment, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of sets of sensor data associated with a plurality of swing movements in a sporting environment;

receiving a plurality of contemporaneous rating evaluations of the plurality of swing movements from an individual associated with the movement;

displaying characteristics of the plurality of sets of sensor data as a function of the plurality of rating evaluations.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the displaying includes comparing characteristics associated with one rating with characteristics associated with a different rating.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the sensor data is data from one or more of an image capture device, a swing sensor, a ball sensor, or an auxiliary sensor coupled to the player.

17. The method of claim 14, further including receiving an indication of the type of swing for each of the plurality of swing movements, and the displaying of the characteristics are also a function of the type of swing.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the displaying characteristics includes displaying one or more of portions of the sensor data or variables derived from the sensor data.

19. A computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a plurality of functions, including functions to:

receive sensor data regarding player movement in a sporting environment;

receive a contemporaneous rating evaluation of the movement from an individual associated with the movement; and

display characteristics of the sensor data as a function of the rating evaluation.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the sensor data is data from one or more of an image capture device, a swing sensor, a ball sensor, or an auxiliary sensor coupled to the player.
