Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing sports motions, comprising: (a) determining a starting point of a sports motion to be simulated using a mobile device having integrated motion sensors, wherein the starting point is indicated solely by a user holding the mobile device still for a predetermined length of time; (b) moving the mobile device from the starting point along a path to complete the simulation; (c) obtaining motion data from the motion sensors relating to the starting point and the movement along the path; (d) determining an occurrence of a simulated sports event using the obtained motion data; and (e) outputting information related to the simulated sports motion based at least in part on the simulated sports event, wherein the steps (c) to (e) are performed using a processor integral to the mobile device; (f) wherein the mobile device is not attached to any piece of sports equipment and the starting point is not indicated by user-entered input.
