Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention provides a system and method for detecting a user-dependent state of a sports object (such as a ball or puck) by tracking its multiple positions during use. The system utilizes sensors and tracking devices to determine various states of the sports object (like possession duration, speed, direction, or acceleration) as related to an individual user (e.g., an athlete). Feedback can be given in real-time visually, acoustically, or through vibrations to aid training or performance assessment.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Real-time performance feedback for athletes in training (e.g., football, hockey, tennis).
  • Coaching systems to analyze and improve player technique based on ball or puck handling.
  • Sports science research to study athlete biomechanics and movement efficiency.
  • Automated skill assessment and statistics collection during training or matches.
  • Interactive training facilities or smart gyms for guided skill drills.
  • Rehabilitation monitoring where ball or object control is essential for patient progress tracking.
  • Gamified sports training systems for youth or e-sports coaching environments.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Provides objective, real-time measurement of sport object state linked to athlete actions.
  • Enables precise feedback for optimizing technique and performance.
  • Supports individual and team-based tactical analysis with positional data.
  • Can integrate with mobile devices for accessible, personalized training.
  • Improves accuracy in monitoring possession time, movement, and ball control.
  • Facilitates data-driven coaching and personalized skill development.
  • Can simulate realistic game scenarios for advanced tactical training.
