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.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an athletic parameter measurement device, activity data and video data associated with an athlete during an athletic activity;
determining, by the athletic parameter measurement device and using the activity data, at least one performance metric of the athlete; and
based on detecting an event in the video data and during performance of the athletic activity, triggering a display indicating the at least one performance metric, wherein the at least one performance metric is an overlaid graphic that is displayed during playback of the video data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from at least one sensor, and wherein the at least one sensor includes a GPS sensor and the at least one performance metric includes a location of the athlete.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from at least one sensor, and wherein the at least one sensor includes an accelerometer and the at least one performance metric includes a speed of the athlete.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one performance metric is displayed in real time.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
associating an identification of the athlete with the athletic parameter measurement device; and
transmitting, to a computing device, the at least one performance metric and the identification.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one metric and the identification are transmitted to the computing device in real-time.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the overlaid graphic is animated during playback of the video data.

8. An athletic parameter measurement device comprising:
a processor; and
at least one measurement sensor,
memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:
receive activity data and video data associated with an athlete during an athletic activity;
determine, using the activity data, at least one performance metric of the athlete; and
based on detecting an event in the video data and during performance of the athletic activity, trigger a display indicating the at least one metric, wherein the at least one metric is an overlaid graphic that is displayed during playback of the video data.

9. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one performance metric is displayed in real time.

10. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one measurement sensor includes a GPS sensor.

11. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one performance metric further includes a speed of a user.

12. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:
associate an identification of the athlete with the athletic parameter measurement device; and
transmit the at least one performance metric and the identification to a computing device.

13. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to transmit the at least one performance metric and the identification to the computing device via 2400 and 2483.5 MHz frequency signals.

14. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to transmit the at least one performance metric and the identification to the computing device in real-time.

15. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 8 , wherein the overlaid graphic is animated during playback of the video data.

16. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that, when executed cause:
receiving activity data and video data associated with an athlete during an athletic activity;
determining, using the activity data, at least one performance metric of the athlete; and
based on detecting an event in the video data and during performance of the athletic activity, triggering a display indicating the at least one performance metric, wherein the at least one performance metric is an overlaid graphic that is displayed during playback of the video data.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the at least one metric is displayed in real time.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:
associating an identification of the athlete with an athletic parameter measurement device; and
transmitting the at least one performance metric and the identification to a computing device.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause:
transmitting the at least one performance metric and the identification to the computing device in real-time.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the overlaid graphic is animated during playback of the video data.
