Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device for scoring and training sports equipment. The device includes a scoring unit and a display screen housed within a rigid or flexible housing. The scoring unit can be easily attached to a mounting unit using a resiliently deformable material. The mounting unit can be attached to an object or player using a loop, band, or strap that is secure or releasable, depending on the needs of the device. The loop can be opened and closed to secure or release the mounting unit, and it can be adjusted to fit objects of different sizes. This allows for easy and customizable training and scoring of sports equipment.

Problems solved by technology

This is by no means ideal; during prolonged and / or strenuous exercise, human memory can often suffer.
This often results in inaccurate recollection of scoring, and score disputes between opposing players.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to devices configured to enable scorekeeping for activities including bat and / or racquet-based sports. Embodiments will be described by reference to a device configured specifically for use in tennis. However, it will be appreciated that the same device is equally applicable to other sports (such as squash, cricket, and so on), for example by way of modification of control logic and / or a display screen.

[0037]FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate a device 100 according to one embodiment. Device 100 is formed of two primary components: a mounting unit 101 formed of a resilient material, and a scoring unit 102, wherein the control unit is mounted in a rigid housing.

[0038]Scoring unit 102 includes a display screen 103 (in this embodiment being a low-power multi-digit segmented numerical LCD display), and one or more physical inputs (in the illustrated embodiment including two incrementor buttons 104a and 104b, and a “reset” button 105)...

Abstract

This invention relates to a device configured to enable scorekeeping during a competitive activity. The device includes a scoring unit with a display screen. One or more physical inputs are provided to received input signals indicative of a change to the score. A logic unit configured to modify data displayed on the display screen based on: (i) signals from the one or more physical units; and (ii) predefined scoring logic. A mounting unit having a primary aperture configured to facilitate secure mounting of the mounting member to an object, a secondary aperture configured to receive the scoring unit.
