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

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, from one or more sensors, athletic data associated with performance of an athletic activity by a first user during an activity session; synchronizing a first timeline of the athletic data with a second timeline of activity information associated with performance of the athletic activity by a second user; and outputting for display a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second timeline.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity information corresponds to a completed athletic activity.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a video of the second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes the activity information.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of a celebrity performing the athletic activity.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of an instructor performing the athletic activity.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a stored video of the first user completing the athletic activity at an earlier point in time.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, based on the athletic data, at least one performance metric associated with performance of the athletic activity by the first user.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one performance metric is outputted for display in real-time.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one performance metric comprises one of a speed of the first user or a distance traveled by the first user.

10 . An athletic parameter measurement device comprising:
one or more sensors; and memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:
receive, from one or more sensors, athletic data associated with performance of an athletic activity by a first user during an activity session;
synchronize a first timeline of the athletic data with a second timeline of activity information associated with performance of the athletic activity by a second user; and
output for display a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second timeline.

11 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , wherein the activity information corresponds to a completed athletic activity.

12 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , further comprising a display device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:
display, by the display device, a video of the second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes the activity information.

13 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 12 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of a celebrity performing the athletic activity.

14 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 12 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of an instructor performing the athletic activity.

15 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 12 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a stored video of the first user completing the athletic activity at an earlier point in time.

16 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:
determine, based on the athletic data, at least one performance metric associated with performance of the athletic activity by the first user.

17 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 16 , wherein the at least one performance metric is outputted for display in real-time.

18 . The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 16 , wherein the at least one performance metric includes one of a speed of the first user or a distance traveled by the first user.

19 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:
receive, from one or more sensors, athletic data associated with performance of an athletic activity by a first user during an activity session; synchronize a first timeline of the athletic data with a second timeline of activity information associated with performance of the athletic activity by a second user; and provide for display a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second timeline.

20 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the activity information corresponds to a completed athletic activity.

21 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , further comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
display a video of the second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes the activity information.

22 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 21 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of a celebrity performing the athletic activity.

23 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 21 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a video of an instructor performing the athletic activity.

24 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 21 , wherein the video of the second user performing the athletic activity comprises a stored video of the first user completing the athletic activity at an earlier point in time.

25 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , further comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to determine, based on the athletic data, at least one performance metric associated with performance of the athletic activity by the first user.

26 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 25 , wherein the at least one performance metric is outputted for display in real-time.

27 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 25 , wherein the at least one performance metric comprises one of a speed of the first user or a distance traveled by the first user.
