System, method, and apparatus for monitoring sporting apparatus and users thereof
A system may comprise one or more monitoring devices that may communicate with a mobile device or a wearable device worn by a user of a sporting apparatus. The system may enable motion data specific to motion of the sporting apparatus to be conveniently captured and transmitted, and displayed on the wearable device. The system may include functionality to permit disablement of the motion detecting, transmission, and/or displaying functions at times when such functions are not permitted to be used, and to record the date, time, and location when such functions have been disabled to permit verification thereof by a governing body or sporting organization. The system may further include a learning module enabling monitored motion of the object to be correlated to monitored motion of the user such that predictive motion of the sporting object based only on monitored motion of the user may be obtained and displayed.
1. A wearable device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving first data, the first data indicative of operation of a sporting apparatus;
processing the first data for further transmission as displayable information;
providing instructions to display the displayable information; and
subsequently providing instructions to enter into an off mode based on criteria comprising a date and a location of use of the wearable device.
2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter into an off mode is further based on the time period of use of the wearable device.
3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter into the off mode are provided to a mobile device and a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device captures the first data.
4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter into the off mode is further based on the time period of use or a date of the wearable device or a mobile device,
wherein the off mode comprises a sleep mode that prevents the mobile device or the wearable device from displaying second data while the mobile device or the wearable device still receives or transmits the second data, the second data indicative of operation of the sporting apparatus in the off mode.
5. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the first data is indicative of being from a monitoring device of the sporting apparatus, the monitoring device comprises the off mode, the off mode comprises a sleep mode that prevents a mobile device from displaying the displayable information while the mobile device still receives the first data.
6. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the sporting apparatus is selected from the group comprising a golf club, a tennis racket, a squash racket, a racquetball racket, a baseball bat, a softball bat, a cricket bat, a hockey stick, a sports shoe, a ball, a puck, a boxing glove, sports apparel, or a lacrosse stick.
7. The wearable device of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
providing haptic sensory feedback corresponding to the operation of the sporting apparatus being in substantial conformance with or in substantial deviation from a predetermined path of motion.
8. The wearable device of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
providing an indication that a monitoring device be placed in a sleep mode or an active mode while in a location.
9. A monitoring device associated with a sporting apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving first data, the first data indicative of operation of the sporting apparatus; and
receiving instructions to enter into an off mode based on a criteria associated with the monitoring device,
the off mode comprising a sleep mode that prevents one or more devices from displaying the first data while the monitoring device or a wearable device still receives or transmits the first data, and
the criteria comprising a location of the monitoring device and a date.
10. The monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more devices comprises at least one of the wearable device, a mobile device, or the monitoring device.
11. The monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location the sporting apparatus and a type of the sporting apparatus.
12. The monitoring device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
preventing wireless transmission of the first data based on the instructions to enter into the off mode.
13. The monitoring device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
responsive to the received instructions to enter into the off mode, providing instructions to the one or more devices to not display output based on the first data.
14. The monitoring device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
responsive to the received instructions to enter into the off mode, providing instructions to the one or more devices to not transmit output based on the first data.
15. The monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the sporting apparatus is selected from the group comprising a golf club, a tennis racket, a squash racket, a racquetball racket, a baseball bat, a softball bat, a cricket bat, a hockey stick, a sports shoe, a ball, a puck, a boxing glove, sports apparel, or a lacrosse stick.
16. The monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring device comprises a port configured to receive a wired connection in order to upload the first data in response to operation of the sporting apparatus from the monitoring device to a computing device for one or more of storage, processing, transmitting, and display.
17. A system associated with a sporting apparatus, the system comprising:
a wearable device; and
a monitoring device communicatively connected with the wearable device, the monitoring device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving first data, the first data indicative of operation of the sporting apparatus; and
receiving instructions to enter into an off mode based on a criteria associated with the monitoring device,
the off mode comprising a sleep mode that prevents one or more devices from displaying the first data while the monitoring device or a wearable device still receives or transmits the first data, and
the criteria comprising a location of the monitoring device and a date.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location the sporting apparatus and a type of the sporting apparatus.
