Patent ID: 7645211

Claim:
A portable electronic agility training device, comprising: an array of spaced pressure sensors; an array of light emitters; a first electronic controller operationally connected to the array of spaced pressure sensors and operationally connected to the array of light emitters; a user interface; a second electronic controller operationally connected to the user interface and connected in electric communication to the first electronic controller; and a power source operationally connected to the first and second electronic controllers; wherein each respective pressure sensor defining the array of spaced pressure sensors is paired with a respective light emitter; wherein the first electronic controller sequentially energizes the respective light emitters for a finite energization period; wherein actuation of the pressure sensor paired with an energized light emitter during the energization period generates a ‘correct’ signal to the second electronic controller; wherein actuation of the pressure sensor paired with an energized light emitter outside of the energization period generates an ‘error’ signal to the second electronic controller; wherein a null signal received from a pressure sensor paired with an energized light emitter during the energization period generates an ‘error’ signal to the second electronic controller; and wherein actuation of a pressure sensor not paired with an energized light emitter generates an ‘error’ signal to the second electronic controller.
