SWIMMING ACTIVITY MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18757789 titled 'SWIMMING ACTIVITY MONITORING
The abstract of a patent application describes a mobile device that can detect swimming strokes based on signals received from a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver.
- User input device
- Satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver
- Wireless communication signal transceiver
- Motion sensor
- Processor for receiving swimming indications and determining swimming stroke status
Potential Applications: - Fitness tracking for swimmers - Coaching and training tools for swimming instructors - Safety features for monitoring swimmers in open water
Problems Solved: - Accurately tracking swimming strokes in real-time - Providing feedback on swimming technique - Enhancing safety measures for swimmers
Benefits: - Improved performance monitoring for swimmers - Enhanced safety features for water activities - Personalized coaching and feedback for swimmers
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Swimming Stroke Detection Technology" This technology can be used in smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices targeting swimmers. It can also be integrated into swimming equipment and accessories for enhanced performance tracking.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the mobile device differentiate between different swimming strokes? - The device uses signals from the SPS receiver to analyze the motion patterns of the user and determine the specific swimming stroke being performed. 2. Can this technology be used for competitive swimming analysis? - Yes, this technology can provide valuable data for competitive swimmers and coaches to analyze and improve performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mobile device includes: a user input device; a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver; a wireless communication signal transceiver; at least one motion sensor; and a processor communicatively coupled to the user input device and the SPS receiver, the processor being configured to: receive, from the user input device, a swimming indication of swimming by a user; and determine, in response to the swimming indication, a swimming stroke status based on one or more signals received by the SPS receiver.
