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 sporting apparatus comprising:
a radio transmitter; and
a monitoring device communicatively connected with the radio transmitter, wherein the monitoring device comprises:
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; and
receiving instructions to enter into a sleep mode based on a criteria,
the sleep mode preventing 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 comprises a date and time.
2. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more devices comprises at least one of the wearable device, a mobile device, or the monitoring device.
3. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the criteria comprises a location of the monitoring device.
4. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the criteria comprises a threshold number of monitoring devices that are in proximity of the sporting apparatus.
5. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
preventing wireless transmission of the first data based on the instructions to enter into the sleep mode.
6. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
responsive to the received instructions to enter into the sleep mode, transmitting instructions to the one or more devices to not display output based on the first data.
7. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
responsive to the received instructions to enter into the sleep mode, transmitting instructions to the one or more devices to not transmit output based on the first data.
8. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sporting apparatus is selected from a 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.
9. The sporting apparatus of claim 1 , 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.
10. A 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:
transmitting instructions to a monitoring device of a sporting apparatus to enter into a sleep mode based on a criteria,
the sleep mode preventing one or more devices from displaying a first data while the monitoring device or a wearable device still receives or transmits the first data, and
the criteria comprises a date and time.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location of use of the sporting apparatus.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location of the device.
13. The device of claim 10 , the operations further comprising receiving haptic sensory feedback as a reminder of the sleep mode commencing.
14. A system comprising:
a sporting apparatus comprising a monitoring device; and
mobile device communicatively connected with the monitoring device, the mobile 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:
transmitting instructions to the monitoring device to enter into a sleep mode based on a criteria,
the sleep mode preventing one or more devices from displaying a first data while the monitoring device or a wearable device still receives or transmits the first data, and
the criteria comprises a date and time.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location of use of the sporting apparatus.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the criteria further comprises a location of the mobile device.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the sporting apparatus is selected from a 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.
18. The system of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:
receiving haptic sensory feedback as a reminder of the sleep mode commencing.
19. The system of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:
receiving an indication that the monitoring device is placed in the sleep mode or an active mode while in a location.
20. The system of claim 14 , wherein the wearable device is article of clothing.
