Athletic performance monitoring systems and methods in a team sports environment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring user motion, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to be mounted on an upper torso of a user and being configured for generating data relating to a rate of angle change of the upper torso;
a processing system configured for determining a body motion metric for the user based at least in part on the rate of angle change,wherein the processing system is further configured for determining the body motion metric based on whether the user is accelerating or moving at a steady state pace; and
a user interface configured to display one or more body motion metrics for the user, wherein the user interface includes a user interface element associated with an athletic performance goal of the user that allows generation of a request to display the body motion metric for the user.

10. A method for monitoring user motion, comprising:
-
sensing, by a sensor, a rate of angle change of an upper torso of a user in motion on foot; determining, by a processor, a body motion metric for the user based at least in part on the rate of angle change and whether the user is accelerating or moving at a steady state pace; displaying a user interface on a display device to a user, wherein the user interface is configured to display one or more body motion metrics for the user, and wherein the user interface includes a user interface element associated with an athletic performance goal of the user that allows generation of a request to display the body motion metric for the user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
