Smart Flying Disc Training System with Integrated Technologies
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
A comprehensive flying disc training system integrating AI, IoT, blockchain, and computerized motion analysis to improve release velocity and accuracy, providing real-time feedback and personalized coaching recommendations.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a flying disc training device for improving release velocity and accuracy. However, the device lacked the ability to provide real-time feedback, personalized coaching, and secure tracking of user progress. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by integrating advanced technologies to create a more effective and engaging training system.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The smart flying disc training system consists of a flying disc training device as described in the original patent, augmented with a computerized motion analysis module, a machine learning algorithm, a sensor module, and an IoT-enabled smart anchor strap. The system provides real-time feedback to the user, analyzes throwing motion, and offers personalized coaching recommendations to improve release velocity and accuracy. The blockchain-based platform securely stores and tracks user training progress and achievements, enabling a community-driven approach to flying disc training.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The integration of AI, IoT, blockchain, and computerized motion analysis with the flying disc training device constitutes a novel and non-obvious improvement over the original patent, providing a synergistic combination of technologies that enhances the training experience and improves user outcomes.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments may include using different types of sensors, such as inertial measurement units or electromyography sensors, to track user motion. Variations of the system could incorporate additional features, such as virtual reality integration or social sharing capabilities, to further enhance the training experience.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The smart flying disc training system has significant commercial potential in the sports training and fitness industries, with applications in professional disc golf, recreational flying disc sports, and physical education programs. The system's ability to provide personalized coaching and track progress also makes it an attractive solution for sports academies and training centers.
