Electronic Impact Vest Abstract:

A fair and balanced way to score Tae Kwon Do matches without the moaning and groaning of everyone. The Electronic Hogu system uses piezoelectric force sensors to determine how much force is delivered by the impact of a strike. Using waveform analysis and analog-digital conversion, it is possible to create constraints to determine what truly should and should not score in a match. By driving a CRT monitor with the STK500's PWM, we can also have a score display to tell how many points a player has. Most importantly, wireless communication via OOK (On-Off Keying) between the hogu and the base station is integral to the effectiveness of this system as it provides a fast and easy way to transfer information quickly without a tethered system. Ultimately, our system makes much needed improvements to an age-old game by taking traditional martial arts into the future.
