Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of behavior sensing and recording device. More specifically, the present invention is to measure and record full motion related signals on a part of putter.A miniaturized data logging device for golf putters that records outputs from motion sensors during whole game is described. Utilizing accelerometers, the device obtains relative motion invoked at a putter head without affecting player's performance. The device also records such information for multiple incidents or for an indefinite period of time. The device will be attached on the surface of a putter head at which motion behavior analysis takes place. The present invention uses high density memory chip and USB for data transfer. The flash multi media storage card is also used for transferring the recorded data to personal computing devices such as personal computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or a plurality of mobile devices. Data transfer is facilitated by a data uploading utility, which automatically detects inserting media and assists to transfer the record data into a file folder in the personal computing devices.The present invention can be used for either training purpose or recording in situ behavior of player during actual games or events. Sufficient data recorded and analyzed during training can be used as reference performance data to compare the actual behavior of the player during the events. When the present invention is combined other recording devices for physiological data such as heart rate as well as user-determined action result, the player can recognize what happened during the events through post-analysis of the recorded behavior which can be helpful to modify strategy or improve training method for the player.

Abstract: A method of modifying sporting event participant decorations displayed on a fiber optic “Turf TV” playing surface based on multiple real-time factors. A decoration utility calculates a direction of movement of a player or object in proximity to the playing surface, which is configured to display images, during a live sporting event. The utility adds a graphical aura to a real-time graphical image displayed in proximity to the player on the playing surface. The utility animates the aura in response to wind and/or noise in proximity to the playing surface. The utility modifies the aura based on pre-defined custom attributes, penalties, errors, and/or player status. If the player moves, the utility adds a graphical player trail to the image. The utility also adds a graphical object trail that includes previous locations of an object. The object trail may also include spin and a visual appearance corresponding to an object height.

Abstract: A novel integrated golf ball launch monitor for measuring flight path parameters for a golf ball is disclosed. This integrated launch monitor includes a housing that includes a sensor, a user output device, and a processor. The processor performs the steps of monitoring a trigger zone, determining that the golf ball has launched from the trigger zone, capturing position information for the golf ball with the sensor, calculating the flight parameters using the position information, and outputting the flight parameters on the user output device. A display and/or a speaker may be added to the monitor as a means of outputting the flight parameters from the processor to a user of the monitor. The integrated launch monitor may be sized and constructed to be portable and may also include a battery (which may be rechargeable). The monitor may also include a lamp positioned to direct an illuminating light into the sensor's field of view and can include a data interface to a display monitor, a computer, a game station, or a golf simulator. The housing may also be in a clamshell configuration.

Abstract: During a sporting or similar event, participants and objects are automatically tracked using a scalable matrix of fixed, non-adjustable overhead cameras that form a view of the entire performance area. The participants and objects are identified with attached visible or non-visible markers that are detected using image analysis. A real-time database of two-dimensional movement locations is created from the resulting information, which is then used to automatically direct multiple fixed, adjustable side-view cameras for capturing and recording the event. Image analysis of this side-view video detects additional markers providing a three-dimensional model of the participants and objects.

Abstract: A launch monitor that includes substantially all of its functional components on or within a housing is disclosed. In one embodiment, the launch monitor is capable of being transported and used in any desired location. One or more camera's, flashes, and triggers may be used to acquire images of a golf club and golf ball. The launch monitor is preferably capable of receiving and transmitting data over a wireless network. Acquired images and other data may be analyzed by a processor, and then displayed using an LED, LCD or other type of display or printer. The launch monitor may “recognize” a plurality of golf clubs and golf balls based on an optical fingerprint. The optical fingerprints, which are preferably stored in a memory, allow the launch monitor to identify a golf club and/or ball substantially soon after they are placed in the field of view of the monitor Optical fingerprinting enables automatic record keeping, and storing performance data and equipment used simultaneously. This feature eliminates tedious record keeping, eliminates data entry errors, and enables rapid equipment optimization.
