Body trauma analysis method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A device for measuring and processing a predefined out-of-bound characteristic of a user'"'"'s movements and capturing video data corresponding to the user'"'"'s movements, the device comprising:
- a Data Measurement and Processing Module (“
DMPM”
) coupled with a clothing article or gear configured to be worn on a body part of the user, the DMPM configured to measure the out-of-bound characteristic of movements of the body part of the user, if a preset threshold is exceeded by said measured movement characteristic, and further configured to process measurement data and to assign a data identifier to the measurement and/or to the processed data of each out-of-bound characteristic and configured to transmit an alert signal once the preset threshold is exceeded, wherein the assignment of data identifiers and the transmittal of alert signals are performed autonomously by the DMPM and without an external command signal sent to the DMPM; and
a video camera configured to capture video scenes of the user'"'"'s movements and configured to assign a scene identifier, upon receiving the alert signal from the DMPM, to the captured video scenes of the movements with out-of-bound characteristic, wherein the assigned data identifier of each out-of-bound characteristic is uniquely correlatable to the assigned scene identifier of the corresponding captured video scene, and wherein the video camera captures video scenes of the user'"'"'s movement autonomously and without an external command signal sent to the video camera.

Abstract
A method and a device are disclosed including a clothing article with an embedded Data Measurement and Processing Module configured to measure a dynamic characteristic of a predefined significant impact to the user of the clothing article, and further including a video capturing device which provides video scenes related to the impact. In various embodiments, the embedded data collection and measurement module includes a multi-axis accelerometer and a processor, such as a microcontroller, coupled with the accelerometer to calculate a magnitude and direction of the imparted force, and a video camera that is configured to relate its different captured scenes to predefined significant impacts within each scene. In other various embodiments, the processor and/or the video capturing device may communicate collected and/or calculated data to a storage device and/or an external host computer for future analysis and use.

10. A method of measuring and processing a predefined significant characteristic of a body part of a user'"'"'s movements and capturing video data corresponding to the measured movements, the method comprising:
-
measuring the predefined significant characteristic of the movements of the body part of the user and if a preset threshold is exceeded by said predefine significant characteristic, processing the measurement data and assigning a data identifier to the measurement and/or the processed data of each significant characteristic and transmitting an out-of-bound announcement signal using a measurement and processing device (“

16. A method of measuring and processing a predefined attribute of a user'"'"'s movements and correlating the measurements to captured video scenes of the user'"'"'s movements, the method comprising:
-
measuring the predefined attribute of the movements of the user at least if a preset condition is met by said attribute, using a measurement device attached to the user by a clothing article or gear; storing the measurement data in a storage device attached to the user or transmitting the data to a remote computer; assigning data identifiers to the measurement data to uniquely identify measurement data related to each movement by which the preset condition of its predefined attribute is met; capturing video scenes, by a video capturing device, of the user'"'"'s movements; and assigning scene identifiers to the captured video scenes of the user'"'"'s movements, to uniquely identify the captured video scenes such that each captured video scene can be associated with measurement data obtained from the movements within said scene, wherein the video capturing of the user'"'"'s movements is performed autonomously by the video capturing device without an external command signal sent to the video capturing device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
