Abstract

An athletic parameter measurement device worn by an athlete during an athletic activity session includes a housing which attaches to the athlete, a display, a processor associated with the display, and an athletic parameter measurement sensor. During the athletic activity, the device detects, using the sensor, a vertical jump height of the athlete, and displays, during the performance of the athletic activity session, a representation of the vertical jump height on the display.

Claims (46)

1. An athletic parameter measurement device comprising:

a display;

a processor; and

at least one athletic measurement sensor;

wherein the athletic parameter measurement device is configured to:

detect athletic data of a first user with the at least one athletic measurement sensor during an activity session;

receive athletic data of the first user performing the activity session;

display a stored video of a second user performing the activity session, the stored video including activity data;

synchronize, by the processor, a first timeline of the received athletic data of the first user during performance of the activity session to a second timeline of the stored activity data of the second user;

compare, by the processor, the synchronized first and second timelines; and

display during performance by the first user of the activity session, a representation of the comparison.

2. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 , wherein activity data corresponds to a completed activity session.

3. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 2 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the activity session.

4. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 2 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the activity session.

5. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 2 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a friend video completing the activity session.

6. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 further configured to calculate, by the processor, at least one metric of the first user using the received athletic data.

7. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 6 , wherein the calculated at least one metric is displayed in real time.

8. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 7 , wherein the displayed at least one metric includes a speed of the first user.

9. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 2 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a stored video of the first user completing the activity session at an earlier point in time.

10. A method comprising:

detecting athletic data of a first user with at least one athletic measurement sensor during an activity session;

receiving athletic data of the first user performing the activity session;

displaying a stored video of a second user performing the activity session, the stored video including activity data;

synchronizing a first timeline of the received athletic data of the first user during performance of the activity session to a second timeline of the stored activity data of the second user;

comparing the synchronized first and second timelines; and

displaying during performance by the first user of the activity session, a representation of the comparison.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein activity data corresponds to a completed activity session.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the activity session.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the activity session.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a stored video of the first user completing the activity session at an earlier point in time.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising calculating at least one metric of the first user using the received athletic data.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the calculated at least one metric is displayed in real time.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the displayed at least one metric includes a speed of the first user.

18. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

detect athletic data of a first user with at least one athletic measurement sensor during an activity session;

receive athletic data of the first user performing the activity session;

display a stored video of a second user performing the activity session, the stored video including activity data;

synchronize a first timeline of the received athletic data of the first user during performance of the activity session to a second timeline of the stored activity data of the second user;

compare the synchronized first and second timelines; and

display during performance by the first user of the activity session, a representation of the comparison.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 18 , wherein activity data corresponds to a completed activity session.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the activity session.

21. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the activity session.

22. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a friend video completing the activity session.

23. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 18 , further comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to calculate at least one metric of the first user using the received athletic data.

24. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 23 , wherein the calculated at least one metric is displayed in real time.
