Correlation of position data that are acquired by means of a video tracking system with a second localization system

Номер: US20120002055A1
Автор: Christian Holzer, Florian Hoeflinger, Walter Englert
Принадлежит: Cairos Technologies AG

The invention relates to a video tracking system which determines the position of objects, e.g. players in a football match, by evaluating video image information. According to the present invention, the video tracking system is additionally provided with an independent positioning system which is preferably used in instances when the video-based position detection is faulty or does not work at all. According to one embodiment, the independent positioning system is GPS based, each football player carrying a portable GPS module which transmits the position data to the system by radio. Additional data, such as heart rate or acceleration, can also be transmitted.

Полезная модель относится к приспособлениям для тестирования и тренировки спортсменов на быстроту реакции и на способность попадания в мишень при постоянно меняющемся положении мишени. Реакция - это осознаваемое ответное действие на определенный сигнал и одно из проявлений физического качества быстроты. Быстрота реакции в спорте имеет огромное значение. Исход в соревновании зависит от того, насколько быстро спортсмен среагирует на ту или иную ситуации и насколько быстро он выполнит ответное действие. Все реакции имеют одну и ту же структуру - восприятие сигнала (предварительный период), осознание сигнала (основной период, латентный), ответное действие (исполнительный период). Быстроту реакций можно повысить с помощью специализированных тренажеров.

Apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon during a golf swing

Номер: US20130035171A1
Автор: Jang Yeon Seong
Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention relates to an apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon during a golf swing, and more specifically to an apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon during a golf swing, which helps a golfer keep his or her eyes on the place where a golf ball to be struck is located, by making the ball ascend just before the impact only if the swing speed exceeds a pre-set value. According to the apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon especially during the golf tee-shot training, a golf ball either ascends above the ground or descends toward the ground from above just before the impact only if a down-swing is performed or only if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value, such that the user may not suffer too much burden when swinging the golf ball placed on the tee. As such, during the golf tee-shot training the present invention is able to avoid the head-up phenomenon or correct the head-up habit by stopping the golfer from looking away from the place where a golf ball to be struck is located, by making the ball just before the impact only if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value. In addition, even if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value, the golf ball would not ascend or would descend from above just before the impact, such that the golfer can keep looking at the striking site till the last moment, thereby avoiding the head-up phenomenon and correcting the head-up habit.

Swing Training Device and System

Номер: US20130172129A1
Автор: James I. Sams, III
Принадлежит: Individual

A swing training device and system that includes a rotating light source or sequence of LED lights that are used to simulate the movement of a pitched ball along a horizontal line. The device may be used in conjunction with training systems designed to develop proper swing mechanics. The device may be set up as a stand alone unit supported by it own frame. The swing training device will help develop visual skills by using the eyes to track a light source along a path to the ball such that a bat or striking object hits the ball at the same time the moving light intersects or passes over the ball. The light source will rotate or repeat at a user controlled frequency such that the user may continue to practice and drill for proper swing mechanics. The swing training device will provide user feedback as to the timing quality of the swing noting weather the swing was early, on-time (ball was hit at the same time moving light intersected with ball), or late. The feedback may be provided with an audible sound, a digital readout (of yellow, red and green lights) and/or with a digital score. The information could be stored electronically such that it may be downloaded to, or by wireless transmission to external devices and used to track progress on swing quality over time for players and coaches.
