20100049696 | Systems and Methods for Smart City Search - A method, machine-readable medium, and system involve receiving user input with a navigation device regarding a desired city name. A determination is made regarding whether the user input matches city names in a Last Used City List (LUCL). A Global City List (GCL) is consulted when the user input does not match the city names in the LUCL. A matching city name is selected as a best candidate. | 02-25-2010 |
20120116716 | Device and method of gyro sensor calibration - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method and apparatus for calibration of gyro sensors by using magnetic sensor measurements and background computation during normal product operation. In one embodiment, magnetic sensor measurements are used to adjust gyro gain by comparing measured magnetic vector orientation with its expected orientation computed from gyro integration. The background process constantly compares this discrepancy for various values of gyro gain and selects the one that minimizes such error on average. In one embodiment, device orientation obtained by gyro integration is improved by using magnetic sensor measurements. | 05-10-2012 |
20130346013 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING SPORTSMAN JUMPS USING FUZZY LOGIC - A method and apparatus for detecting a jump of a moving sportsman and separating the jump from other sportsman motion is described. Accelerometer data generated by a sportsman's motion is received in a computing device. The computing device is used to apply fuzzy logic membership functions to a plurality of parameters associated with the accelerometer data to detect a pattern associated with jumps. A subset of the data is identified as representing a jump based upon the detection of the pattern. The determination is used in the computing device to transform data, whereby jumps are separated from other sportsman motion. | 12-26-2013 |
20140257743 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND CHARACTERIZING ATHLETIC MANEUVERS - Embodiments of the present disclosure help automatically identify athletic maneuvers performed by actors and/or their sports equipment using data from sensors. Among other things, various embodiments help judges and spectators of extreme sports to assess athletic maneuvers based on objective, empirical data and allow action sport participants to objectively compare tricks performed at different times and/or different locations. A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises receiving, by a computer system, sensor data related to motion by an actor over a time period; determining, by the computer system and based on the sensor data, a plurality of motion characteristics; and identifying, based on the plurality of motion characteristics, an athletic maneuver associated with the motion by the actor during the time period. | 09-11-2014 |
20140257744 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZED DISPLAY OF ATHLETIC MANEUVERS - Embodiments of the present disclosure help to synchronize multiple video segments of an actor or actors performing athletic maneuvers. Among other things, various embodiments help provide a side-by-side visual comparison of athletic maneuvers. | 09-11-2014 |
20150335949 | USE OF GYRO SENSORS FOR IDENTIFYING ATHLETIC MANEUVERS - Embodiments of the present disclosure help identify athletic maneuvers performed by actors and/or their sports equipment using data from sensors, including data from at least one gyroscopic sensor. Among other things, various embodiments can help judges and spectators of extreme sports to identify and assess athletic maneuvers more easily and accurately compared to conventional methods. | 11-26-2015 |

20130330054 | AUTOMATIC DIGITAL CURATION AND TAGGING OF ACTION VIDEOS - A system and method for automatic digital curation, annotation, and tagging of action videos receives, in a processing system, GPS data, and in some embodiments inertial data, from a sensor-based device carried by a sportsman during a sporting activity. The processing system processes the GPS data and the inertial data, if present to identify at least one sportsman event, and stores data identifying the sportsman event in a performance database. Video data from a video camera is stored in a video database, the video data including location, time, and direction information associated with frames of video. Timecode data in the video database is synchronized with timecode data in the performance database, and the data identifying the sportsman event is used to automatically select, annotate, tag or edit said video data. | 12-12-2013 |
20140120838 | DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MEASURE AND PROCESS SPORT MOTIONS - A distributed, multi-stage, intelligent system is configured to determine user action performance characteristics parameters in action sports. Raggedness, complexity, and cost are unevenly distributed among components across the stages for improved overall performance and reduced cost. The system includes stage-one, wearable devices configured to use sensors to collect initial data and transfer the initial data to stage-two devices which may temporally store the initial data and/or perform further data processing to generate intermediate data for communication to one or more stage-three devices configured for long term data storage, further processing and presentation. | 05-01-2014 |
