A Machine Learning Golf Band; Guess Who Invented It?
Are you ready for a wristband wearable that learns to distinguish your practice swings from your impact swings? Almost sounds too good to be true; and I bet you can’t guess which technology company was recently granted a patent on a machine learning golf wearable (the answer is at the end of the post).
The patent at issue is USPN 10,097,961 titled “Golf Shot Detection,” which describes the invention as:
A wearable computing device comprises one or more motion sensors, a first circuit, and a second circuit. The one or more motion sensors are configured to measure swing motion. The first circuit is in communication with the one or more motion sensors and configured to translate measurements of the swing motion to machine-readable motion data and identify from the machine-readable motion data a golf shot in which a golf club held by a golfer contacts a golf ball. The second circuit is configured to increment a golf score of the golfer responsive to the golf shot being identified.
Who was granted the patent? The answer is here.
