TECHNIQUES FOR LOW POWER MONITORING OF SPORTS GAME PLAY

摘要

Various embodiments relate to techniques for reducing the power used by devices of a game play monitoring system that collects data during game play in sports. The device monitors the interaction sensor of the play tool to detect the interaction with the body and generates play tool data that records the aspect of the interaction, and whether the interaction keeps the play tool very close to the body. It may comprise an interaction detection component for determining whether, and according to the determination, wirelessly transmits the play tool data to the body-bearing player device via short-range wireless communication and wirelessly to the access point device through long-range wireless communication It may include a communication component for using power from the power source to transmit, where short-range wireless communications consume power from the power source at a lower consumption rate. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
