Multi-sensor event detection and tagging system
First Claim
1. A multi-sensor event detection and tagging 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 sensor data memory;
a sensor configured to capture one or more values associated with an orientation, position, velocity, acceleration, angular velocity, and angular acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;
a first communication interface configured to receive one or more other values associated with one or more of temperature, humidity, wind, elevation, light, sound, and heart rate orat least one other sensor configured to locally capture said one or more other values associated with said one or more of temperature, humidity, wind, elevation, light, sound, and heart rate orboth said first communication interface and said at least one other sensor; and
,a microprocessor coupled with said sensor data memory, said sensor and said first communication interface, wherein said microprocessor is configured tocollect data that comprises sensor values that include said one or more values from said sensor;
store said data in said sensor data memory oranalyze said data and recognize an event within said data to determine event data orstore said data in said sensor data memory and analyze said data and recognize said event within said data to determine said event data;
correlate said data or said event data with said one or more other values associated with said one or more of temperature, humidity, wind, elevation, light, sound, and heart rate to differentiate a first type of event with respect to a second type of event or a first type of activity with respect to a second type of activity or a first type of equipment with respect to a second type of equipment to determine at least one ofa type of event or true event or a false positive event selected from a plurality of types of events ora type of equipment that said at least one motion capture element is coupled with selected from a plurality of types of equipment ora type of activity indicated by said data or said event data selected from a plurality of types of activities orone or more tags for said event; and
,transmit at least one of said data, said event data, said type of event, said true event, said false positive event, said type of equipment, said type of activity, and said one or more tags for said event via said first communication interface.

Abstract
A sensor event detection and tagging system that analyzes data from multiple sensors to detect an event and to automatically select or generate tags for the event. Sensors may include for example a motion capture sensor and one or more additional sensors that measure values such as temperature, humidity, wind or elevation. Tags and event detection may be performed by a microprocessor associated with or integrated with the sensors, or by a computer that receives data from the microprocessor. Tags may represent for example activity types, players, performance levels, or scoring results. The system may analyze social media postings to confirm or augment event tags. Users may filter and analyze saved events based on the assigned tags. The system may create highlight and fail reels filtered by metrics and by tags.
