Abstract

The present disclosure is configured to perform a method of recording the movement of a user during a sporting event session. The method may include detecting the user'"'"'s movement during a first portion of the sporting event session, and recording the user'"'"'s movement via a recording device upon the user'"'"'s first location being confirmed via a location determination device. Examples of sporting event sessions may include, BMX biking, race tracks, motocross, skate boarding, skiing, snowboarding, etc.

Claims

1. A method of recording the movement of a user during a sporting event session, the method comprising:

detecting the user'"'"'s movement during a first portion of the sporting event session; and

recording the user'"'"'s movement via at least one first recording device upon the user'"'"'s first location being confirmed via a location determination device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting the user'"'"'s movement during a second portion of the sporting event session different from the first portion; and

recording the user'"'"'s movement via at least one second recording device upon the user'"'"'s new location being confirmed as being different from the first location via the same location determination device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first location is a first predefined area of a sporting venue and the new location is a second predefined area of the same sporting venue that is different from the first predefined area.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sending a signal to the at least one first recording device to begin recording upon the user'"'"'s location being confirmed and the user'"'"'s identity being confirmed.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the location determination device communicates with a device tag worn by the user in order to determine the user'"'"'s identity and location.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the device tag worn by the user is a radio frequency identification (RFID) device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s location is determined by at least one of GPS location determination and a triangulation location determination.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting the recorded user movement to a server which processes the user movement data and combines the user movement with other recorded user movement data to create a video file that represents the user'"'"'s run at the sporting event session; and

storing the video file in a personal profile storage location corresponding to the user.

9. An apparatus configured to record the movement of a user during a sporting event session, the apparatus comprising:

a detector configured to detect the user'"'"'s movement during a first portion of the sporting event session; and

a recording device configured to record the user'"'"'s movement upon the user'"'"'s first location being confirmed via the location determination device.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

at least one second recorder configured to further record the user'"'"'s movement upon a new user location being confirmed as being different from the first location via the same location determination device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first location is a first predefined area of a sporting venue and the new location is a second predefined area of the same sporting venue that is different from the first predefined area.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

a transmitter configured to send a signal to the at least one first recording device to begin recording upon the user'"'"'s location being confirmed and the user'"'"'s identity being confirmed.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the location determination device communicates with a device tag worn by the user in order to determine the user'"'"'s identity and location.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the device tag worn by the user is a radio frequency identification (RFID) device.

15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the user'"'"'s location is determined by at least one of GPS location determination and a triangulation location determination.

16. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the recorded user movement to a server which processes the user movement data and combines the user movement with other recorded user movement data to create a video file that represents the user'"'"'s run at the sporting event session; and

a memory configured to store the video file in a personal profile storage location corresponding to the user.

17. A computer readable storage medium configured to store a computer program that when executed causes a processor to perform recording the movement of a user during a sporting event session, the processor being further configured to perform:

detecting the user'"'"'s movement during a first portion of the sporting event session; and

recording the user'"'"'s movement via at least one first recording device upon the user'"'"'s first location being confirmed via a location determination device.

18. The computer program of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

detecting the user'"'"'s movement during a second portion of the sporting event session different from the first portion; and

recording the user'"'"'s movement via at least one second recording device upon the user'"'"'s new location being confirmed as being different from the first location via the same location determination device.

19. The computer program of claim 18, wherein the first location is a first predefined area of a sporting venue and the new location is a second predefined area of the same sporting venue that is different from the first predefined area.

20. The computer program of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to perform sending a signal to the at least one first recording device to begin recording upon the user'"'"'s location being confirmed and the user'"'"'s identity being confirmed.
