First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity, the method comprising:
- detecting movement of the individual at a first time using a sensor module inseparably coupled to a textile material of a garment configured to be worn by the individual engaged in the athletic activity;
determining that the movement of the individual corresponds to a predetermined activation movement;
the sensor module entering an active state in response to the determination that the movement of the individual corresponds to the predetermined activation movement; and
detecting movement of the individual at a second time while the sensor module is in the active state.

Abstract
A sensor garment for monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity includes a garment formed of textile material, and a sensor module inseparably coupled to the textile material of the garment. The sensor module includes a single-purpose sensor configured to sense a single characteristic, and a radio antenna configured to transmit data generated by the single-purpose sensor. The sensor module includes no external port.

9. A system for monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity, the system comprising:
-
a processor, a sensor module inseparably coupled to a textile material of a garment worn by the individual engaged in the athletic activity, the sensor module further comprising; a sensor; a radio antenna configured to transmit movement data generated by the sensor to the processor; and a flexible printed circuit board, wherein the processor is configured to compare the movement data to a lookup table to determine an activity metric. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method for monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity, the method comprising:
-
detecting movement of the individual using a sensor module inseparably coupled to a textile material of a garment configured to be worn by the individual engaged in the athletic activity; recording movement data resulting from the detection of movement; determining a correlation between the movement data and an activity metric by reference to a data structure; and providing an output that conveys the activity metric. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
