A CONTROLLER TO DETERMINE SWIM CHARACTERISTICS OF A SWIMMER AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The controller (110) of the wearable device (100) is used to determine swim characteristics of a swimmer. The controller (110) connected to at least one motion sensor (120) selected from a group comprising a multi-axis gyroscope (112) and a multi-axis accelerometer (114). The controller (110) adapted to, detect input signals (202) from the at least one motion sensor (120), characterized by, the controller (110) further adapted to perform dynamic stroke segmentations based on at least one of the input signals (202) using a stroke segmentation module (102), extract feature vectors, using feature extraction module (104), from the at least one input signal (202) based on the stroke segmentations, and determine the swim characteristics by using the feature vectors through a classifier module (106). The present invention provides the controller (110) and method which dynamically adapts to the style of the swimmer to detect the swim characteristics.
