Abstract:
1. A sports apparatus for monitoring movement of one or more projectiles associated with a sporting event, comprising: a data processing system for processing sampled data signals generated in operation by one or more sensors included in the one or more projectiles; and a mobile telephone coupled in wireless communication with the one or more projectiles for receiving the sampled data signals indicative of motion of the one or more projectiles, wherein the mobile telephone is operable to execute one or more software products therein, including a neural network software product for analyzing the sampled data signals received at the mobile telephone based on projectile movement learning exercises applied to the neural network software product for providing analysis results indicative of a nature of trajectory of the one or more projectiles, a server arrangement which is remote from the mobile telephone, wherein the mobile telephone is couplable in communication with the server arrangement for communicating analysis data thereto and/or receiving analysis parameters therefrom, wherein the mobile telephone is operable to provide a user interface via which the one or more software products are user programmable to identify from the sample data signals a nature of trajectory of the one or more projectiles, wherein the one or more projectiles include a data processing arrangement for analyzing the sampled data signals and for sending the sampled data signals when an amplitude of change in the sample data signals exceeds a predefined threshold for more than a predefined period.
