1. A method of using environmental information in sports applications, comprising:
- receiving wind profile information detected using a remote wind profile detector, the remote wind profile detector providing the wind profile information using electronic remote sensing, the remote wind profile detector configured to determine wind speed at at least two remote locations located throughout at least one of an actual or predicted trajectory of a first sports equipment item, the remote wind profile detector being at a single location;
determining by a computer simulation an estimated effect of the wind profile information on at least one of a predicted or actual first user action affecting the actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item;
communicating a representation of the estimated effect to at least one of a first user or a second user; and
suggesting to the first user an action based on the estimated effect, wherein the suggested action comprises a selection of a second sports equipment item configured to affect an actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item.

Abstract
A method is generally described which includes a method of using environmental information in sports applications. The method also includes receiving at least one environmental condition detected using electronic remote sensing. Further, the method includes determining by a computer simulation an estimated effect of the at least one environmental condition on at least one of a predicted or actual first user action. Further still, the method includes communicating the estimated effect to at least one of the first user or a second user.

11. A method of using environmental information in sports applications, comprising:
-
receiving information representative of a first user action by a first user; receiving wind profile information detected using a remote wind profile detector substantially during the first user action, the remote wind profile detector providing the wind profile information using electronic remote sensing, the remote wind profile detector configured to determine wind speed at at least two remote locations located throughout at least one of an actual or predicted trajectory of a first sports equipment item, the remote wind profile detector being at a single location; determining by a computer simulation an estimated effect of the wind profile information on the first user action, wherein the first user action affects the actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item; and communicating the estimated effect to at least one of the first user, a second user, or a data recording device, the communicating further including providing a selection of a second sports equipment item for the first user to use to affect the actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of using environmental information in sports applications, comprising:
-
receiving a representation of an estimated effect from a computer simulation system, the estimated effect having been computed from a system which receives wind profile information detected using a remote wind profile detector, the remote wind profile detector providing the wind profile information using electronic remote sensing, the remote wind profile detector configured to determine wind speed at at least two remote locations located throughout at least one of an actual or predicted trajectory of a first sports equipment item, the remote wind profile detector being at a single location; simulating by a computer at least one user action in a sports context, wherein the at least one user action affects the actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item; applying the received wind profile information to the at least one user action in the computer simulation system; and using the received estimated effect to make a decision, wherein the decision includes a selection of a second sports equipment item to use to affect the actual or predicted trajectory of the first sports equipment item;
communicating the decision to a user. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
