Abstract

Sensors detects loft time, speed, power and/or drop distance of a vehicle and/or person. The sensors couple with multiple persons during athletic activity. Data from the sensors downloads to a database so that users may compare athletic performances (e.g., speed) between the persons, such as through the Internet.

Claims (19)

1. A system for comparing athletic performance between multiple persons, comprising:

a mobile sensor for each of the persons;

a database for downloading data generated by the mobile sensor and processing the data to compare athletic performances of the multiple persons, the database being accessible through the Internet to review the athletic performances between the persons.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile sensor comprises a wireless transmitter for wirelessly communicating between the mobile sensor and a wireless receiver connected with the database.

3. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising a speed sensor, the athletic performances comprising speed associated with the persons.

4. The system of claim 3 , the speed sensor comprising an altimeter used to determine the speed.

5. The system of claim 3 , the speed sensor comprising a pressure sensor used to determine the speed.

6. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising an airtime sensor, the athletic performances comprising airtimes associated with the persons.

7. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising a drop distance sensor, the athletic performances comprising drop distances associated with the persons.

8. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising a mobile power sensor, the athletic performances comprising power associated with the persons.

9. The system of claim 8 , the mobile power sensor determining an amount of energy expended by each of the persons during athletic activity.

10. The system of claim 8 , the mobile power sensor determining an amount of unpact energy received by each of the persons during athletic activity.

11. The system of claim 8 , the mobile power sensor determining an aggressiveness corresponding to motion of each of the persons during athletic activity.

12. The method of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising a watch.

13. The system of claim 1 , the database processing the data to compare velocity of each of the persons.

14. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor being configurable to attach to a body or clothing of an individual.

15. The system of claim 1 , the database processing the data to compare altitude variation between each of the persons.

16. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor comprising a GPS reeeiver.

17. The system of claim 1 , the mobile sensor concurrently communicating wireless data from the multiple persons.
