Abstract: A system that captures and analyzes motion data for equipment and that automatically captures the usage context in which the motion occurs. Context items in the environment may have attached beacons that broadcast their identities; a motion capture element on the equipment receives and analyzes these broadcast messages to determine which context items are nearby. Beacons may be grouped into categories such as “user”, “location”, “coach”, and “equipment”; the motion capture element determines the nearest beacon in each category, and these nearest beacons are used as the context for each motion. For example, in a baseball application players and coaches may wear pendants or similar accessories with personal beacons, and other beacons may be installed into bats, bases, batting cages, bullpens, or other locations. The context for a swing may include the player who made the swing, the bat used, a coach that was present, and where the swing occurred.

Abstract: A system that measures a swing of a bat with one or more sensors and analyzes sensor data to create swing quality metrics. Metrics may include for example rotational acceleration, on-plane efficiency, and body-bat connection. Rotational acceleration measures the centripetal acceleration of the bat along the bat's longitudinal axis at a point early in the rotational part of the swing; it is an indicator of the swing's power. On-plane efficiency measures how much of the bat's angular velocity occurs around the swing plane, the plane spanned by the bat and the bat's sweet spot velocity at impact. Body-bat connection measures the angle between the bat and the body tilt axis, which is estimated from the trajectory of the hand position on the bat through the swing; an ideal bat-body connection is near 90 degrees. These three swing quality metrics provide a simple and useful characterization of the swing mechanics.

Abstract: A system that measures a swing of equipment (such as a bat or golf club) with inertial sensors, and analyzes sensor data to create a rotational profile. Swing analysis may use a two-lever model, with a body lever from the center of rotation to the hands, and an equipment lever from the hands to the sweet spot of the equipment. The rotational profile may include graphs of rates of change of the angle of the body lever and of the relative angle between the body lever and the equipment lever, and a graph of the centripetal acceleration of the equipment. These three graphs may provide insight into players' relative performance. The timing and sequencing of swing stages may be analyzed by partitioning the swing into four phases: load, accelerate, peak, and transfer. Swing metrics may be calculated from the centripetal acceleration curve and the equipment/body rotation rate curves.

Abstract: A method for analyzing sensor data from baseball swings (or swings in similar sports) that transforms data into a reference frame defined by the bat orientation and velocity at impact. The trajectory of the sweet spot of the bat is tracked through the swing, and is analyzed to generate metrics describing the swing. A two-lever model of the swing may be used to model the effects of body rotation and wrist rotation. Data may be analyzed to identify relevant events during the swing such as start of downswing, commit (wrist release), on-plane, peak bat speed, and impact. Illustrative swing metrics derived from the sweet spot trajectory, the swing plane reference frame, and the two-lever model include: forward bat speed, on-plane rotation, hinge angle at commit, hinge angle at impact, body rotation ratio, body tilt angle, and swing plane tilt angle.

Abstract: Motion capture system with a motion capture element that uses two or more sensors to measure a single physical quantity, for example to obtain both wide measurement range and high measurement precision. For example, a system may combine a low-range, high precision accelerometer having a range of −24 g to +24 g with a high-range accelerometer having a range of −400 g to +400 g. Data from the multiple sensors is transmitted to a computer that combines the individual sensor estimates into a single estimate for the physical quantity. Various methods may be used to combine individual estimates into a combined estimate, including for example weighting individual estimates by the inverse of the measurement variance of each sensor. Data may be extrapolated beyond the measurement range of a low-range sensor, using polynomial curves for example, and combined with data from a high-range sensor to form a combined estimate.

Abstract: An aiming system that provides feedback on how closely the aim of an object is aligned with a direction to a target. An inertial sensor on the object provides data on the object's position and orientation; this data is combined with target direction information to determine how to correct the aim. An illustrative application is a golf club aiming system that measures whether the clubface normal is aligned horizontally with the direction to the hole. The system sends feedback signals to the user to help the user adjust the aim. These signals may include for example audible tones or haptic vibrations that vary in frequency and amplitude to instruct the user to adjust the aim. For example, haptic signals may be sent to a smart watch worn by the user; the user may therefore obtain aiming feedback without having to look at a screen.
