Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) sport device includes a helmet and sensors including a camera and an accelerometer; a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A helmet comprising:
a helmet body;
a processor in the helmet body and coupled to a wireless transceiver;
a camera coupled to the helmet body; and
an accelerometer disposed within the helmet body to detect acceleration of the helmet; and
a module to compare a third party motion with a user motion and suggesting improvements to user motion.

2. The helmet of claim 1 , wherein at least one sensor selected from a sensor set comprising: a pressure sensor configured to detect at least one pressure event at a helmet body external surface location; a helmet motion sensor configured to detect at least one motion event of the helmet; a digit motion sensor configured to detect at least one motion event of at least one digit of the user; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature at a helmet body external surface location; and a contact sensor configured to detect a contact event of the helmet with a contact object.

3. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising an EKG sensor.

4. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising a head and neck exercise regimen.

5. The helmet of claim 1 , the helmet comprising a gesture identifying component configured to identify at least one hand gesture detected by at least one sensor; the memory configured to, upon receiving an indication of a hand gesture identified by the gesture identifying component, store data corresponding to the hand gesture in the memory; and the device interface configured to, upon connecting to the device, provide at least some of the stored data corresponding to the hand gesture to the device.

6. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of chambers, each having a sensor.

7. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising a sensor worn by an opponent in wireless communication with the processor to communicate the force of an impact from the helmet.

8. The helmet of claim 1 , wherein the helmet body comprises a boxing helmet body, motorcycle helmet body, or football helmet body.

9. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising a hidden markov model module to detect muscle movement and exercise pattern.

10. The helmet of claim 1 , comprising an emotion detector wherein an exercise can be increased, decreased, or stopped based on detected emotion.

11. A system for measuring a force of impact of a helmet, comprising:
an accelerometer disposed in the helmet for measuring the force of impact of the helmet;
a radio frequency transmitter disposed in the helmet and coupled to the accelerometer for transmitting impact measurements;
a radio frequency receiver for receiving the impact measurements; and
a display coupled to the radio frequency receiver for displaying the measured impacts; and
a module to compare a third party motion with a user motion to improve a play.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein at least one sensor selected from a sensor set comprising: a pressure sensor configured to detect at least one pressure event at a helmet body external surface location; a helmet motion sensor configured to detect at least one motion event of the helmet; a digit motion sensor configured to detect at least one motion event of at least one digit of the user; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature at a helmet body external surface location; and a contact sensor configured to detect a contact event of the helmet with a contact object.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the sensor comprises at least one of the same as the second sensor or different than the second sensor, the hand exercise event at least one of the same as the second hand exercise event or different than the second hand exercise event.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein a hand exercise regimen selected from a hand exercise regimen set comprising at least one of: a physical therapy hand exercise regimen; a physical training hand exercise regimen; or a physical performance hand exercise regimen.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the helmet comprising a gesture identifying component configured to identify at least one hand gesture detected by at least one sensor; the memory configured to, upon receiving an indication of a hand gesture identified by the gesture identifying component, store data corresponding to the hand gesture in the memory;
and the device interface configured to, upon connecting to the device, provide at least some of the stored data corresponding to the hand gesture to the device.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the helmet comprises a boxing helmet body, motorcycle helmet body, or football helmet body.

17. The system of claim 11 , comprising a sensor worn by an opponent in wireless communication with the processor to communicate the force of an impact from the helmet.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the helmet body comprises an array of sensors.

19. The system of claim 11 , comprising a hidden markov model module to detect muscle movement and exercise pattern.

20. The system of claim 11 , comprising an emotion detector wherein an exercise can be increased, decreased, or stopped based on detected emotion.
