Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for recording and analyzing an activity, such as a golf swing.
  • the system comprises a video capture unit for recording and displaying recorded swings.
  • Preferred swings are saved, and may be viewed at a separate viewing unit located remote from the capture unit .
  • the remote viewing unit allows for replay and analysis of the saved swings.
  • saved swings and data may be uploaded to the Internet for later viewing and analysis. Through any PC or other connection to the Internet, the user may input personal identification information associated with the saved images, and download the images for viewing.
  • Analysis tools may be downloaded for use with the saved images .
  • U.S. Patent No.5, 342, 054 to Chang et al teaches an apparatus for recording and providing instant playback of video images of a golfer's swing.
  • the apparatus has an automatic, video-based ball detection system, which sends a signal to begin recording only if a ball is detected in the hitting area.
  • means responsive to the placement of a ball on the hitting area initiate processing and storage of video images from a primary video camera means by said video image processing and storage means.
  • This requires a second camera means aimed at the hitting area, and image processing and storage means for analyzing images obtained by said second video camera means and determining therefrom if a golf ball has been positioned on said hitting area.
  • This determination involves several steps, including locating a ball, checking if it is a ball, checking if the ball remains in place for a minimum period of time, and only then sending a signal to start recording. If a ball is detected by the second camera, then the means to initiate the storage of video images by the first camera is activated.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,797,805 to Lubell et al relates to a method and system for producing a personal golf lesson video. More specifically, a videotape cassette is provided having at least one pre-recorded segment (at either the beginning or end of the tape) , with gaps comprising blank spaces of a set time period left on the tape. Once the swing of the consumer is recorded, a comparison tape segment (such a split-screen) is prepared using a pre-recorded preferred swing. The comparison segment is then recorded into the gap of the videotape cassette .
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,333,061 to Nakashima et al relates to a system for overlaying images composed of lines, based on various preferred positions, with respect to still shots of a golfer's swing, in order to indicate whether the golfer positioning is within the preferred range.
  • the method involves starting with a videotape of a golfer's swing, showing a side and/or front view. The points of the swing corresponding to the addressing of the ball, the top of the back swing, and/or contact with the ball, are then isolated and saved as still images.
  • the pre-set preferred image lines such as a cylinder for overlaying on the frontal, backswing view, or triangle connecting the two elbows and handgrip point, are then scaled to match the size of the golfer's image.
  • the scaled still images are then laid over the preferred image lines, and saved as a recording.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,486,001 to Baker relates to a computer-based golf swing analysis aid.
  • the reference purports to describe a system whereby an image of a golfer's swing is captured and digitized, and then 'adjusted' to a preferred swing image. Although it states that this is done by 'adding or subtracting' values corresponding to image data, it provides no further detail as to how to achieve the adjustment of the images.
  • the reference sets forth an outline of a system whereby visual image signals are captured at a first location and transmitted to a second location. At the second location is stored 'preferred' image data. The original image is then compared to, and "regenerated” as a further image, which is "adjusted to emulate (or adjusted in accordance with) said stored preferred image” . This may be done with biomechanical data, based on sensors attached to the golfer's body. This appears to involve the superimposing of a 'stick figure' containing the user's swing adjusted to the preferred swing, over the actual swing image. This is supposed to indicate to the player the angles which he must emulate to improve his swing .
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,210,603 to Sabin relates to an automated video recording device for recording a golf swing, containing a weather-proof housing, a video camera mounted within the housing, a monitor, a money vending machine, and a message display device, for recording on a videocassette the player's swing.
  • the device is intended as a relatively low-tech, portable machine, which is wheeled to a location, and operates on battery- power. There is no provision for digitally capturing images and transferring them electronically to a second location for storing or further analysis.
  • a system for recording, viewing and analyzing golf swings or the like.
  • the system starts out with a video capture unit, preferably in the nature of a golf driving range stall, having at least one digital camera for recording swings.
  • the digital recording means continuously records in a loop.
  • a swing sensor based on an audio impact trigger, directs the recording means to save a bracketed portion of the video, and to save it temporarily.
  • the video is then played back on a video screen portion of the unit, for the user to see.
  • the user then given the option of saving the swing for later viewing and analysis, and is preferably able to label the swing by subjective quality, such as best or typical.
  • the saved swing is then sent electronically to a remote site for further processing and storage.
  • the remote site comprises a viewing and processing unit, which the user can utilize after the practice session is complete.
  • the viewing unit also has a video screen, along with viewing and analysis tools.
  • the viewing unit preferably has means for converting the video images, which may be saved by the capture unit in JPEG format, into MPEG format.
  • the MPEG files are then automatically, or at the direction of the user, uploaded to the Internet via the viewing unit.
  • the uploaded MPEG image files are then saved off-site.
  • the user can then access the saved images at a remote PC or other web-enabled device, by inputting confirming personal identification information (such as corresonding credit card or PIN number) .
  • the image files are then viewable through a known media viewing application software.
  • Analysis tools may be made available for downloading to the user, possibly on a paid basis, and possibly for a limited amount of time or number of uses.
  • the saved swings may also be held by the web site operator for indefinite retrieval by the user, or may require payment from the user for longer storage/availability times. Saved swings may be sent via the Internet to a linked instructional site, whereby the swings may be electronically analyzed and returned electronically to the user.
