IMPACT DETECTION DEVICE AND IMPACT DETECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446633 titled 'IMPACT DETECTION DEVICE AND IMPACT DETECTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an impact detection device for sports equipment.
- The device includes a sensor that is attached to the sports equipment.
- The sensor is connected to a columnar portion and a hitting portion of the equipment.
- The sensor is attached to the columnar portion, not the hitting portion.
- The sensor is designed to output a signal when the sports equipment is swung.
- The device also includes a feature data extraction unit.
- The feature data extraction unit uses the sensor signal to detect the timing at which the hitting portion of the equipment receives external pressure.
- This allows the device to detect impacts on the hitting portion of the sports equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
An impact detection device includes a sensor that is attached to sports equipment including a columnar portion and a hitting portion connected to the columnar portion and is attached not at the hitting portion but at the columnar portion, and that is configured to output a sensor signal obtained by the sports equipment being swung, and a feature data extraction unit configured to detect, by using the sensor signal, from a temporal change of the sensor signal outputted by the hitting portion externally receiving pressure, timing at which the hitting portion externally receives the pressure.
