Abstract

Zur Positionsbestimmung, Wegplanung und Richtungsweisung werden in Outdoor-Sportarten, wie beispielsweise Snowboarden oder Kitesurfen Navigationsgeräte, wie GPS-Uhren oder Smartphones verwendet. Insbesondere das Ablesen von Richtungsweisungen während des dynamischen Sportbetriebs ist bei den genannten Geräten unhandlich bis gefährlich ablenkend. Die neuartige Navigationsanzeige soll dem Sportler eine einfache, stets präsente Informationsdarstellung ohne zusätzlichen motorischen Aufwand bieten. Die Navigationsanzeige ist in das Sportgerät (1) fest integriert und ermöglicht die Anzeige von Kompasskursen und eine stufenweise Anzeige von Entfernungen (2). Zu diesem Zweck können Licht-Segmente in verschiedenen Richtungen eingeschaltet und in Ihrer beleuchteten Länge variiert werden. In der dazugehören Elektronik (3) befindet sich ein Kompasssensor, ein Mikrocontroller und eine Kommunikationsverbindung. Über die Kommunikationsverbindung können von einem abgesetzten Gerät mit Navigationsfunktion, bspw. einem Smartphone, Kompasskurse und Entfernungsschritte vorgegeben werden. Die Navigationsanzeige eignet sich insbesondere für brettartige Sportgeräte, wie Snowboards, Skier, Kiteboards u. ä.For positioning, path planning and direction are used in outdoor sports, such as snowboarding or kitesurfing navigation devices, such as GPS watches or smartphones. In particular, the reading of directional statements during dynamic sports operation is awkward to dangerous distracting in the aforementioned devices. The novel navigation display is to offer the athlete a simple, always present information presentation without additional motor effort. The navigation display is firmly integrated into the sports equipment (1) and allows the display of compass courses and a gradual display of distances (2). For this purpose, light segments can be switched on in different directions and varied in their illuminated length. In the associated electronics (3) is a compass sensor, a microcontroller and a communication link. Compass courses and distance steps can be specified via the communication connection from a remote device with navigation function, for example a smartphone. The navigation display is particularly suitable for board-type sports equipment, such as snowboards, skis, kiteboards u. ä.

Description

In vielen Outdoor-Sportarten hat sich die Verwendung von Navigationssystemen etabliert. Sportler nutzen beispielsweise GPS-Uhren ( EP0990963 , EP2425303 ), Smartphones, PDAs ( EP1677077 ) oder eigenständige GPS-Empfangsgeräte zur Ortsbestimmung, Wegplanung oder Richtungsweisung. Jüngeren Datums sind Head-Up Displays in Brillen, die mit einem Navigationsgerät verbunden werden ( WO2012160176 ).In many outdoor sports, the use of navigation systems has become established. Athletes, for example, use GPS watches ( EP0990963 . EP2425303 ), Smartphones, PDAs ( EP1677077 ) or stand-alone GPS receivers for location, route planning or direction. More recently, head-up displays are in glasses that are connected to a navigation device ( WO2012160176 ).

Problematisch ist bei sehr dynamischen Sportarten, wie bspw. Snowboarden, Kitesurfen oder Skifahren das bequeme Ablesen optischer Richtungsanzeigen der genannten Geräte. Brillen mit integriertem Display eignen sich nicht für alle Sportarten oder beschränken das Sichtfeld.The problem is very dynamic sports, such as. Snowboarding, kitesurfing or skiing comfortable reading optical direction indicators of the devices mentioned. Spectacles with an integrated display are not suitable for all sports or limit the field of vision.

Die hier beschriebene Erfindung besteht aus einer Richtungsanzeige mit zugehöriger Elektronik, die in Sportgeräte (insbesondere brettartige Geräte, wie Snowboard, Kiteboard, Surfbrett o. ä. (1, (1))) integriert oder fest mit ihnen verbunden ist und einer Kompassanzeige nachempfunden ist. Die Richtungsanzeige geschieht vorzugsweise durch beleuchtete Elemente. Per selektivem Beleuchten von Sektoren (bspw. aus LEDs (1, (2))) kann eine Kompassrichtung (ein Kompasskurs) angezeigt werden (1, (3)).The invention described here consists of a direction indicator with associated electronics used in sports equipment (in particular board-type devices such as snowboard, kiteboard, surfboard or the like). 1 , ( 1 ))) is integrated or firmly connected to them and is based on a compass display. The direction indication is preferably done by illuminated elements. By selectively illuminating sectors (for example, LEDs ( 1 , ( 2 ))), a compass direction (a compass heading) can be displayed ( 1 , ( 3 )).

Zusätzlich zur Richtung kann eine Entfernung (bswp. zum nächsten Wegpunkt oder Ziel) stufenweise, vorzugsweise durch die Länge der beleuchteten LED-Reihe dargestellt werden (1, (4)).In addition to the direction, a distance (eg to the next waypoint or destination) may be displayed stepwise, preferably by the length of the illuminated LED row ( 1 , ( 4 )).

Die anzuzeigende Kompassrichtung und Entfernung auf dem Sportgerät wird von einem getrennten Gerät mit entsprechender Software berechnet, das nicht Teil dieser Erfindung ist (bspw. einem Smartphone) und an die Anzeige, vorzugsweise drahtlos, übertragen.The compass direction and distance to be displayed on the sports equipment is calculated by a separate device with appropriate software that is not part of this invention (eg, a smartphone) and transmitted to the display, preferably wirelessly.

Zur Anzeige gehört eine Steuerelektronik mit Kompasssensor (1, (5)). Der Empfang und die Interpretation der Anzeigebefehle und die Steuerung der beleuchteten Sektoren wird von einem Mikrocontroller übernommen. Der Mikrocontroller liest auch den Kompasssensor aus. Die Elektronik berechnet den anzuzeigenden Kompasskurs, interpretiert die aktuelle Lage des Sportgerätes im Erdmagnetfeld und schaltet daraus resultierend das Kompasssegment ein, das dem anzuzeigenden Kompasskurs am nächsten kommt.The display includes control electronics with compass sensor ( 1 , ( 5 )). The reception and interpretation of the display commands and the control of the illuminated sectors is taken over by a microcontroller. The microcontroller also reads the compass sensor. The electronics calculates the compass heading to be displayed, interprets the current position of the sports equipment in the earth's magnetic field and, as a result, switches on the compass segment that comes closest to the compass heading to be displayed.

Die Energieversorgung dieser Anzeige inkl. Elektronik könnte beispielsweise durch Batterien gelöst werden, die jedoch nicht in jedem Fall in das Sportgerät integriert werden.The power supply of this display including electronics could be solved for example by batteries, which are not integrated into the sports equipment in any case.

Die Anzeige mitsamt Elektronik kann so flach hergestellt werden, sodass diese in die Sportgeräte, die häufig aus Faserverbundwerkstoffen gefertigt werden, einlaminiert oder vor dem Verpressen eingelegt werden kann.The display with electronics can be made so flat that it can be laminated into the sports equipment, which is often made of fiber composite materials, or inserted before pressing.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichte Vorteil ist insbesondere, dass die Navigationsanzeige ohne zusätzliche Arm- und Handbewegungen aus dem Augenwinkel ablesbar ist.The advantage achieved by the invention is in particular that the navigation display is readable without additional arm and hand movements from the corner of the eye.

Die Richtungsanzeige relativ zur Nordrichtung ist die bessere Alternative zur Anzeige der Richtung relativ zum Sportgerät, da gerade bei den genannten gleitenden Sportgeräten die Orientierung des Sportgerätes selbst von der Bewegungsrichtung abweichen kann (Drift).The direction indicator relative to the north direction is the better alternative to indicating the direction relative to the sports equipment, since just in the aforementioned sliding sports equipment, the orientation of the sports equipment itself may deviate from the direction of movement (drift).

Die Trennung von Navigationsanzeige im Sportgerät selbst und der Software, die die anzuzeigende Richtung und Entfernung berechnet, hat den Vorteil, dass verschiedene Entwickler Software für diese Anzeige entwickeln können und diese über eine Schnittstelle ansteuern können. Navigationssoftware für Smartphones mit integrierten Karten auch gezielt für Sportarten, wie beispielsweise Skifahren und Snowboarden, ist bereits erhältlich.The separation of the navigation display in the sports equipment itself and the software that calculates the direction and distance to be displayed has the advantage that different developers can develop software for this display and can control it via an interface. Navigation software for smartphones with integrated maps also targeted for sports, such as skiing and snowboarding, is already available.

Desweiteren kann ein Hersteller von den genannten Sportgeräten sich durch diese offensichtliche technische Anzeige im Design und Funktionalität von anderen Herstellern absetzen.Furthermore, a manufacturer of the sports equipment mentioned can distinguish themselves by this obvious technical indication in the design and functionality of other manufacturers.
