Smart sport device
View Patent ↗An Internet of Thing (IoT) sport device includes a light source; sensors including a camera and a microphone array; a processor coupled to the light source and the sensor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.
1. A smart handle, comprising:
a handle;
a processor coupled to the handle and a wireless transceiver;
a camera coupled to the handle;
a sensor coupled to the handle;
an accelerometer coupled to the handle to detect acceleration of the handle; and
a module to:
receive views of a live event from the handle camera and from one or more external cameras;
augment the views with a viewer action as detected by sensors coupled to a viewer or a spectator; and
compare a professional result with the viewer action to provide a feedback to the viewer.
2. The handle of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of smart handles forming a mesh network and communicating episodically to conserve power.
3. The handle of claim 1 where the processor, sensor and accelerometer monitor, record, process and/or transmit events of interest.
4. The handle of claim 1 comprising software module for sensing and/or monitoring impact events where the sensors are accelerometers, gyroscopes, and/or pressure sensors.
5. The handle of claim 1 comprising software module for sensing and/or monitoring and/or controlling ongoing events where the sensors monitor temperature, temperature gradients, motion, position, environmental or chemical levels, or other such information.
6. The handle of claim 1 comprising software module for sensing events or other information including mounting multiple distributed sensors for obtaining spatial and/or temporal distribution in the data and/or multiple sensors sensing different information and data.
7. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver comprises a Bluetooth module or a wi-fi module or other transmission module, for transmitting and/or receiving information to/from another device.
8. The handle of claim 1 , comprising one or more power and energy sources including batteries, wired or wireless rechargeable batteries, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, or energy harvesters.
9. The handle of claim 1 , comprising an adhesive backing for directly adhering the camera, accelerometer, or sensor to a head, a body, or an object.
10. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the camera, accelerometer or sensor is contained in an adhesive or a sleeve for adhering or attaching to a head, a body, or an object.
11. The handle of claim 1 , comprising a coating for protection against the elements and/or for increased comfort.
12. The handle of claim 1 , comprising a geometrically patterned substrate that contains regions of low strain domains (LSDs) bridged by hingeable strain relief features (SRFs) which also contain low strain regions and enable the stretching, flexing and twisting of the handle while maintaining continuous low strain regions for mounting electronic components and routing traces.
13. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the camera, accelerometer or sensor is in a module for attachment to or on or an object, or embedded in an object.
14. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the processor and accelerometer comprises a rectangular or a square or a triangular or other polygon or circular or elliptical or other geometric shape bandage.
15. The handle of claim 1 , comprising a handle shape in the form factor that is or contains any combination of rectangles, triangles, circles, ellipses or other form factors.
16. The handle of claim 1 , comprising interconnects with different geometric patterning of different numbers and shapes and orientations of low strain domains, different numbers and orientation of geometrically structured hinge-like domains, and different geometries of hinge-like domains.
17. The handle of claim 1 as a programmable circuit board for arbitrary applications.
18. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the camera detects a distance of an object and generates 3D models of objects in front of the camera.
19. The handle of claim 1 comprising a cloud storage to receive sensor data.
20. The handle of claim 1 , comprising one or more polymer layers, polyimides, polyamides, polyesters, or elastomers.
