- technology improvements have produced smaller gyroscopes and accelerometers that can be utilized in a wide variety of applications where limited sensor space is available. (See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos.: 5,898,421 to Quinn; and RE37,374 to oston, et al.; the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference).
- Acceleration sensors including accelerometers and strain gauges, have been utilized in sporting equipment, such as golf clubs, to provide analysis of golf swings. (See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,694,340 to Kim and 5,233,544 to Kobayashi, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference). Such acceleration sensors can provide rotational information about the golf club, but the accuracy of such rotational information can be problematic.

- the information can then be displayed and presented to the user through a variety of means including audio, visual, and tactile.
- the present invention provides for an intelligent golf club that provides golfers with real-time, precise and dynamically presented data, including swing analysis.
- a golfer takes a swing and a detailed analysis of club motion, launch conditions, club speed information, as well as contextual feedback is automatically downloaded into a computer system (including PDA, cellular phone, or over a network) for processing and display.

- the main objective of the microcontroller is to receive data from the sensors, manipulate the data and send it to the wireless transmitter.
- the microcontroller utilizes three of its on-board analog-to-digital converters and pulse width modulated inputs to process the data. Finally, the data is packaged sent to the wireless module.
- the wireless module sends data wirelessly using a radio frequency transmitter (e.g. Radiometrix TX3-914-50) and an optimal antenna.
- the sending system formats the data appropriately for the receiving system.
- the support system module has two power supply functions. First, it uses a switch (E-switch EG1270) to allow power to flow from an onboard battery to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then switches on a P-channel MOSFET (Fairchild Semiconductor NDS352P), which provides power to all devices in the system. Its second power function is to allow for recharging of the onboard battery.
- the support module contains a set of headers (Sullins Electronics Corp. PPPN401BFCN and PRPN401AEN) for internal and external connections; one of the headers allows a recharge to access the battery directly, bypassing all other components. Further, there are a number of designer access tools in the support system module. First, there is the programmer port which is used to initially program the microcontroller. The programmer port uses a header (same headers as above) in order to allow the external programmer access to the microcontroller.
- the support module provides a communication port. This port is used to reprogram the microcontroller or access data directly, bypassing the wireless transmitter.
- the final tool is a visual cue to the user/designer that the system has received power and is working properly.

- the software program ensures that the packet was not corrupted during wireless transmission.
- Update Sensor Parameters This step corrects for variations in sensor hardware that could be caused by a number of environmental changes (e.g. temperature variance, electro-magnetic interference, etc.).
- the system enters an iterative loop in which sensor data is used to update an internal 3D model of a golf club.
- the software system processes both the sensor data and the 3D club model to match for a possible golf swing pattern. If a match occurs, the system creates an internal Swing Object representing that golf swing, storing both the sensor data and 3D model history inside this object.
- This Swing Object can then be saved directly to an available storage medium, such as a local hard drive or a remotely server accessible through available networks. Saved Swing Objects can later be reinterpreted by the system individually or as part of a series of Swing Objects.
- the software program uses the newly captured golf swing to generate swing statistics. These statistics include, but are not limited to, impact detection, launch angle, face angle (at impact and at various moments of the swing path), club head speed, initial face angle, tempo breakdown by swing stage (address-to-top, top-to- impact, impact-to-finish), impact location (toe, heel, center), power transfer index, derived distance, ball trajectory, wrist break, and swing plane alignment.
- swing statistics include, but are not limited to, impact detection, launch angle, face angle (at impact and at various moments of the swing path), club head speed, initial face angle, tempo breakdown by swing stage (address-to-top, top-to- impact, impact-to-finish), impact location (toe, heel, center), power transfer index, derived distance, ball trajectory, wrist break, and swing plane alignment.
- the software program uses the single swing 3D models and statistics to generate multi-swing statistics. These statistics include, but are not limited to, tempo consistency (at address-to-top, top-to-impact and, impact-to-finish), club fitting data, long-term trends, training regimes
- the iClub does not even need to be manually activated and is smart enough to activate based on the motion of the swing. Waggle or warm-up the golf club as normal; the iClub is intelligent and can sense a real swing versus your warm up.
- Step 3 If you happen to be connected to the Internet while at the golf course, you can gain valuable real-time analysis from our on-line swing engine which, among other things, is capable of correlating your long-term swing history with your handicap. Furthermore, the iClub System will let you know which equipment upgrades will improve your swing, which training methods to implement to eliminate a reoccurring problem, and even share information with your teaching professional.
- the present invention is suitable for installation in a wide variety of objects and applications. Besides golf clubs, the present invention may be applied to tennis rackets, hockey sticks, fishing rods, baseball bats, swords, rifles, and other sporting equipment. Multiple sensors can be placed on the body to provide detailed body movement.
