Smart Combat Glove System and Method

Abstract

A system, apparatus and method for training boxers, combat sports participants or martial artists comprising a cylindrical housing insertable into a polymeric sleeve, the cylindrical housing comprising a plurality of sensors, a power supply, and other components including a display and induction power transfer unit. One or more software routines stored in a computer readable medium and accessible to the system shall comprise the method of converting the data from the accelerometers and other sensors to displayable data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A programmable smart combat glove, the glove comprising:
 a flexible, polymeric sleeve defining a hollow sleeve recess;   a cylindrical polymeric housing defining a hollow interior recess, the housing defining a plurality of cutouts through which various components may be inserted into the hollow interior recess, wherein the cylindrical polymeric housing is insertable into the flexible, polymeric sleeve;   a PCB housed within the hollow interior recess;   an acceloremeter housed within the hollow interior recess;   a battery housed within the hollow interior recess;   a first magnetic resonance unit adapted to equalize a stored electrical charge between the battery and an external power source using magnetic induction, the magnetic resonance unit comprising:
 a transmitter coil, and 
 a transmitter circuit; 
   a display;   a display housing having a planar rearward surface; and   a NFC sensor.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising persistent computer-readable memory. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of accelerometers. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further adapted to share media wirelessly with one or more separate gloves using Bluetooth® technology. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic resonance unit abuts the display housing. 
     
     
         6 . A programmable smart glove assembly, the assembly comprising:
 a first technology bar comprising:
 a flexible, polymeric sleeve defining a hollow sleeve recess; 
 a cylindrical polymeric housing defining a hollow interior recess, the housing defining a plurality of cutouts through which various components may be inserted into the hollow interior recess, wherein the cylindrical polymeric housing is insertable into the flexible, polymeric sleeve; 
 a PCB housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 an acceloremeter housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 a battery housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 a first magnetic resonance unit adapted to equalize a stored electrical charge between the battery and an external power source using magnetic induction, the magnetic resonance unit comprising:
 a transmitter coil, and 
 a transmitter circuit; 
 
 a display; 
 a display housing having a planar rearward surface; and 
 a NFC sensor; 
   a second technology bar comprising:
 a flexible, polymeric sleeve defining a hollow sleeve recess; 
 a cylindrical polymeric housing defining a hollow interior recess, the housing defining a plurality of cutouts through which various components may be inserted into the hollow interior recess, wherein the cylindrical polymeric housing is insertable into the flexible, polymeric sleeve; 
 a PCB housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 an acceloremeter housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 a battery housed within the hollow interior recess; 
 a first magnetic resonance unit adapted to equalize a stored electrical charge between the battery and an external power source using magnetic induction, the magnetic resonance unit comprising:
 a transmitter coil, and 
 a transmitter circuit; 
 
 a NFC sensor adapted to activate the display of the first technology bar when brought into physical contact therewith.
