Murata Manufacturing had two patents in gaming during Q2 2024. The sensor unit developed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd is designed to attach to a measurement target object that deforms in response to a swing, generating an output signal related to the deformation over time. A feature value generation circuit then processes this signal to create a parameter representing the swing’s characteristics, which is transmitted to an external device via wireless or wired communication.

Application: Sensor unit (Patent ID: US20240142216A1)
The patent filed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd. describes a sensor unit that includes a sensor attached to a measurement target object that generates an output signal indicating the relationship between time and the physical quantity related to the deformation of the object in response to a swing. A feature value generation circuit calculates parameters indicating swing features based on the output signal, while a communication unit transmits these feature values wirelessly or through wired communication to an external device.
The sensor unit's claims detail the components and functions of the invention, including the calculation of forces applied during a swing, extraction of hit times and positions, determination of swing velocities, and detection of wrist rolling. The feature value generation circuit can store data for different swings, calculate variations among them, and provide information on the state of the swing post-impact. The patent covers various applications for the sensor unit, such as in golf clubs, bats, rackets, or game controllers, with the feature value containing less data than the original output signal, ensuring efficient communication of swing-related information.
