SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING ATHLETIC ACTIVITY
First Claim
1. A computer-assisted method of transitioning from a first footwear type to a second footwear type, comprising:
- receiving data, at a processor of an electronic device, from a sensor system configured to sense biomechanical movement of a foot of a user during an athletic activity, the sensor system comprising an electronic module configured to wirelessly transmit data generated by the sensor system, and wherein the data is received from the electronic module;
analyzing the data, by the processor, to determine whether a deviation from a desired footstrike pattern corresponding to the second footwear type exists; and
generating an indication to the user, by the processor, upon completion of the athletic activity.

Abstract
A system for transitioning from a first footwear type to a second footwear type is usable with an article of footwear including a sensor system with a plurality of force sensors engaged with an article of footwear and configured to sense force exerted by a foot of a user and an electronic module configured to collect data based on force input from the sensors and to wirelessly transmit data generated by the sensor system. An electronic device includes a processor that receives the data from the electronic module, compares the data to a footstrike template corresponding to a desired footstrike pattern of a footwear transitional program, determines whether a deviation from the footstrike template exists, and generates an indication to the user when the deviation from the desired footstrike pattern is determined to exist. The desired footstrike pattern corresponds to a preferred footstrike of the second type of footwear

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storage medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving data from a sensor system configured to sense biomechanical movement of a foot of a user, the sensor system comprising an electronic module configured to wirelessly transmit data generated by the sensor system, and wherein the data is received from the electronic module; detecting a footstrike pattern based on analysis of the data; comparing the footstrike pattern to a desired footstrike pattern corresponding to a footwear type to determine whether a deviation from the desired footstrike pattern exists; and generating an indication to the user when the deviation from the desired footstrike pattern is determined to exist - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-assisted method of transitioning from a first footwear type to a second footwear type, comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor of an electronic device, a selection of a footwear transitional program including one or more desired footstrike patterns receiving, at the processor, data from a sensor system configured to sense biomechanical movement of a foot of a user during an athletic activity, the sensor system comprising an electronic module configured to wirelessly transmit data generated by the sensor system, and wherein the data is received from the electronic module; detecting a footstrike pattern based on analysis of the data; comparing the footstrike pattern to a desired footstrike pattern of the footwear transitional program to determine whether a deviation from the desired footstrike pattern exists; and generating an indication to the user, by the processor, upon completion of the athletic activity.
