TECHNIQUES FOR LOW POWER MONITORING OF SPORTS GAME PLAY

摘要

Various embodiments relate to techniques for reducing power used by devices of a game play monitoring system that collect data during game play in sports. The device monitors an interaction sensor of the play tool to detect interaction with the body and generates play tool data that records aspects of the interaction, whether the interaction keeps the play tool in close proximity to the body. an interaction detection component for determining whether, according to the determination, wirelessly transmitting the play tool data via short-range wireless communication to a player device carried on the body and wirelessly to an access point device via long-range wireless communication and a communication component for using power from the power source to transmit, wherein the short-range wireless communication consumes power from the power source at a lower consumption rate. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
