How do the INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards distinguish between different actions?

INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards are powered by sophisticated technology designed to precisely capture your on-field performance. It's a combination of advanced sensors and intelligent algorithms working in harmony.

High-Precision Sensor Data

The integrated football player trackers continuously collect a rich stream of data from your movements. These high-precision sensors capture every subtle acceleration, rotation, and impact as you play.

Advanced Machine Learning Algorithms

The raw sensor data is then fed into our proprietary machine learning algorithms. These aren't just simple rules; they are highly advanced programs that have been extensively developed and trained using countless hours of real-world football play. They are designed to:

  • Recognize Complex Patterns: Our algorithms excel at identifying unique motion patterns associated with specific in-game actions. For example, a jump has a distinct acceleration profile compared to a sprint, and a kick generates a unique force signature.
  • Distinguish Key Actions: This allows the player trackers to accurately categorize actions such as jumps, runs, kicks, turns and more, providing a comprehensive overview of your activity.

Noise Filtering & Exclusion

Crucially, our algorithms are also trained to intelligently filter out irrelevant data that could skew your performance metrics. Accidental kicks on the shin guards themselves or tackles that don't represent a player's intentional action are identified and excluded from your performance measurements. This ensures your data remains clean, accurate, and truly reflective of your actions, not incidental contact.

By combining precise sensor technology with smart, continuously learning algorithms, INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards provide you with reliable, action-specific data, letting you focus on perfecting your game.

How do INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards tell which foot is used?

The Left and Right player trackers in your smart shin guards are paired with each other before the product is shipped to you. They are being programmed as “left” and “right”.

To ensure the highest level of accuracy for foot usage detection and all other performance metrics, it is absolutely crucial to always wear the INSAIT JOY tracker designated for the Left leg on your left leg, and the Right tracker on your right leg. Each shin guard and tracker is clearly marked to guide you, as incorrect placement will lead to inaccurate data attribution and skewed insights.

What should I do if the INSAIT JOY app crashes while syncing?

An app crash during synchronization typically indicates an issue with the data stored on your INSAIT JOY trackers, or potentially a software compatibility problem. This can happen if you initiate too many new measurements without previously syncing, or if a single measurement session exceeds the tracker's storage capacity (approximately 2 hours).

Let's troubleshoot this step-by-step:

Primary Solution: Tracker Reset

In most cases, the most effective solution for sync-related crashes due to data errors is to reset your trackers to factory settings. This process will erase all previously stored data on the devices, allowing them to start fresh.

IMPORTANT DATA WARNING BEFORE RESETTING

  • Unsynchronized Data WILL Be Lost: Resetting your smart shin guards will permanently erase any performance data currently stored on the trackers themselves that has NOT yet been successfully synchronized to your INSAIT JOY user account in the app.
  • Synchronized Data is Safe: This process will NOT affect any data that has already been successfully synced and uploaded to your user account in the INSAIT JOY app.
  • Recommendation: If possible, always ensure your data is synchronized before attempting a factory reset to avoid any loss of valuable session data.

How to Perform a Reset

  1. Ensure your mobile phone’s Bluetooth is enabled. Confirm both INSAIT JOY trackers are powered on and within close proximity to your phone.
  2. Open the INSAIT JOY app. Navigate to 'Me' (bottom navigation bar) > 'My Smart Shin Guards'.
  3. Tap 'Device Info' to connect to your trackers.
  4. Scroll down and tap the 'Reset' option.
  5. The app will typically prompt you with a confirmation message. Read this message carefully (it often reiterates the data loss warning) and confirm your decision to proceed.
  6. The reset usually takes a few moments. It is crucial: DO NOT turn off your phone or disconnect the shin guards during this time.
  7. Once complete, your trackers will revert to their factory state. You will then need to re-pair them with your account again through the app's setup process.

Preventing Future Sync Errors:

To minimize the chances of future sync issues and data loss:

  • Sync After Each Session: We highly recommend syncing your data at the earliest opportunity after every measurement session. This transfers data to the app and frees up internal storage on your trackers.
  • Regular Sync for Extended Sessions: If your measurement time exceeds 2 hours, we recommend synchronizing data with the app at least every 2 hours during your extended session.

Other Potential Causes for App Crashes During Sync

If the reset does not resolve your issue, or if you suspect the cause is not data-related, consider these other possibilities:

Out-of-Date App Version:

Incompatible Firmware Versions:

  • Issue: Your trackers' firmware might be incompatible with the current app version, or require an update.
  • Solution: We recommend checking for and updating to the latest firmware versions for your trackers.

Phone Compatibility Issues:

  • Issue: In rare cases, specific phone models or operating system (OS) versions might have compatibility conflicts.
  • Solution: Please check our phone compatibility lists and requirements. If your device meets the requirements and you're still experiencing crashes, please report the issue to us, including your phone model and OS version, so we can investigate further.

Why is the LED indicator displaying a solid blue light during measurement or after powering on (not during data syncing)?

If your INSAIT JOY tracker shows a solid blue light when it's not actively synchronizing data with the app (i.e., during a measurement session or immediately after power-on), this indicates a tracker error state. This typically occurs if the device's internal storage capacity has been exceeded (e.g., from very long sessions without syncing) or due to a temporary software glitch.

Action Steps to Resolve a Solid Blue Light Error

Please try the following troubleshooting steps in order:

1. Recharge and Restart the Tracker (First Attempt):

  • Connect the problematic tracker to its USB charging cable for approximately 1 minute.
  • This brief recharge can often allow the tracker to perform a soft restart and clear minor errors.
  • After 1 minute, disconnect it from the USB cable and observe if the light status changes (e.g., goes to a flashing purple/blue standby state).

2. Perform a Factory Reset (If Error Persists):

  • If the light still remains solid blue after attempting the recharge and restart, a full factory reset of the tracker is recommended. This will clear all data and settings, resolving deeper software issues.
  • Important Data Warning: Remember that resetting the tracker will erase any performance data currently stored on the device that has NOT yet been synchronized to your INSAIT JOY app account. Always try to sync data before resetting if possible.
  • For detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform a factory reset, please refer to our dedicated guide.

If you continue to experience a solid blue light error after trying both of these steps, please contact our support team at support@gengee.com for further assistance.

I have mixed up my trackers with other sets. What should I do?

Each pair of L and R tracker in your INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards is pre-programmed and must communicate with each other to function properly. If you've accidentally mixed up your INSAIT JOY trackers, don't worry—you can easily re-pair them using the app.

The process for re-pairing depends on whether you're using the individual INSAIT JOY app or the INSAIT JOY Team app.

For Individual Users (INSAIT JOY App)

The app's pairing feature will help you identify and connect with the correct trackers from a group.

  1. Get Ready: Turn on all trackers and ensure they are close to your phone. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
  2. Unpair Existing Trackers: If you've previously paired trackers with your account, go to Me > My Smart Shin Guards and tap Unpair.
  3. Start Pairing: Navigate back to Me > My Smart Shin Guards and tap Pair. The app will scan for available trackers. If you have renamed your devices, select the correct name from the list. If not, select a device from the list.
  4. Identify Your Trackers: The app will prompt you to examine the light patterns on the trackers. The specific pair you select will display a solid/constant light. Other trackers will show a flickering light.
  5. Select and Connect: Pick out the trackers with the solid light. These are the pair that you selected.
  6. Isolate: To avoid future mix-ups, you can turn off your paired trackers and separate them from any others.

For Team Users (INSAIT JOY Team App)

This process uses the app to visually identify your specific trackers from a list of devices.

  1. Get Ready: Make sure all L and R trackers are turned on and placed near your phone. Confirm that your phone’s Bluetooth is also enabled.
  2. Go to the App: Open the INSAIT JOY Team app and go to the Shin Guards tab using the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Why are my INSAIT JOY trackers not measuring stats properly (e.g., no stats, incorrect data, or only a small amount recorded)?

Inaccurate or missing performance data can be frustrating, but it's usually due to a few common factors. Let's go through the typical causes and their solutions to ensure your INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards capture every detail of your game:

Common Causes & Solutions

Incorrect Device Wearing or Placement:

  • Issue: Placing the Right (R) tracker in the Left (L) shin guard, or wearing the shin guards on the wrong leg. The trackers are specifically designed for their respective sides.
  • Solution: Always verify the 'L' and 'R' markings on both your trackers and the corresponding shin guard pockets. Ensure each tracker is placed into the correct shin guard, and then wear the shin guards on the correct side of your leg. Correct orientation is critical for accurate data capture.

Mixed up L and R trackers:

  • Issue: You may have mixed up one of your trackers with the ones from your teammates or other sets. Since each L and R tracker pair is uniquely programmed, a mixed set will not function correctly and may result to inaccurate measurements.
  • Solution: To resolve this, please follow our specific guide on this issue: "I have mixed up my trackers with other sets. What should I do?"

Low Battery Level:

  • Issue: If the battery level is too low, the trackers may fail to register data accurately, or they might shut down unexpectedly during a measurement session.
  • Solution: Always ensure your trackers are fully recharged before each use. During a session, if you notice the tracker's light flashing slow red, it indicates a low battery, and you should charge them as soon as possible.

Insufficient Activation Movement:

  • Issue: The trackers are designed to automatically begin measuring data only after detecting a certain amount of initial movement. For very short "test" sessions, you might not generate enough steps to trigger recording.
  • Solution: Note that the trackers typically require 30-40 active steps to begin measuring. For best results, power on your smart shin guards before your session begins and include a brief walk or jog as part of your warm-up to ensure data collection is initiated.

Tracker Error / Exceeded Storage Capacity:

  • Issue: This is a common cause, particularly if previous session data hasn't been synced, or if a single measurement session has exceeded the tracker's internal storage capacity (typically around 2 hours of continuous recording). This state is often indicated by the LED light displaying a solid blue light during measurement or after powering on (when not actively syncing).
  • Solution: In such cases, the best solution is to reset the trackers to factory settings. This process will erase all previously stored data on the devices, allowing them to function correctly again.
  • Action: If you see a solid blue light error, first try connecting the tracker to its USB charging cable for about 1 minute. If the light remains solid blue after disconnecting, proceed with a full factory reset. For detailed instructions on how to reset your trackers, please refer to our corresponding reset guide.

Outdated Firmware Versions:

  • Issue: The firmware on your trackers might be outdated, causing compatibility problems or affecting data accuracy.
  • Solution: Ensure your trackers are running the latest firmware.

I've lost one of my trackers. Is it possible to locate it with the app?

Unfortunately, you cannot actively locate a lost INSAIT JOY tracker via the app. Our trackers are designed to focus on precise performance measurement and seamless integration within the shin guards, rather than real-time GPS-style location tracking for lost items. They do not emit a continuous signal that can be used for "find my device" features.

What to do if you've lost a tracker

  • Retrace Your Steps: Carefully re-check the area where you last used your smart shin guards, including your bag, locker room, car, and the field itself. They are small, so they can easily be overlooked.
  • Check the Shin Guard Pocket: Ensure it hasn't slipped out into the shin guard itself or become lodged.

Replacing a Lost Tracker

If you are unable to locate your lost tracker(s), individual replacement trackers may be available for purchase. Please contact our customer support team to inquire about replacement options and pricing.

We recommend being mindful of where you place your trackers when not in use, and always securing them firmly within the shin guard pockets during play.

Maintenance Tips

What are the maintenance tips for optimal battery life of my INSAIT JOY trackers?

To maximize the lifespan and ensure consistent performance of your INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guard trackers, proper charging habits are key. Here are our recommendations for maintaining optimal battery health:

  • Use the Correct Charger: We strongly recommend using a power adapter with a 5V/1A output for optimal and safe charging. Using an incompatible adapter can negatively impact battery health over time.
  • Regular Recharging is Crucial: To preserve battery longevity and ensure your shin guards are always ready for action, make it a practice to recharge them at least once a week, even if they haven't been fully depleted. Lithium-ion batteries (common in wearables) benefit from frequent, partial charges rather than deep discharges.
  • Avoid Full Depletion: Try to avoid letting the battery drain completely to 0% frequently. While modern batteries are resilient, consistently running them down to empty can reduce their overall lifespan.

By following these simple charging practices, you can significantly extend the operational life of your INSAIT JOY trackers' batteries.

How do I clean my INSAIT JOY football player trackers? Are they waterproof?

Your INSAIT JOY football player trackers are engineered for durability and are designed with an IP65 rating, which means they are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Understanding this rating is key to proper cleaning and care.

Understanding the IP65 Water Resistance Rating

The IP65 international standard indicates that your INSAIT JOY trackers offer strong protection against

  • Dust Ingress: They are fully dust-tight, preventing solid particles from entering the device.
  • Low-Pressure Water Jets: They can withstand splashes and low-pressure jets of water from any direction.

Practical Implications for Use

This level of water resistance makes your INSAIT JOY trackers perfectly suitable and safe for typical football environments:

  • Sweaty Sessions: They can effectively withstand significant sweat during intense training or matches.
  • Light Rain Conditions: Playing or training in light to moderate rain will generally not affect the devices.
  • Accidental Splashes: They are protected against splashes from water bottles, puddles, or other incidental contact with liquids.

Important Precautions – They Are NOT Waterproof

While these trackers are designed to be robustly water-resistant, it is crucial to understand that they are not designed to be submerged in water or subjected to high-pressure water. To prevent any damage to the internal electronics and to avoid voiding your warranty:

  • Do NOT submerge the football player trackers in water.
  • Do NOT use them for swimming or any water sports.
  • Do NOT put them in a washing machine or clothes dryer. The harsh agitation, detergents, and high temperatures can severely damage the internal components and void your warranty.
  • Avoid exposure to high-pressure water jets (e.g., from a garden hose or power washer).

How to Clean Your Trackers & Care After Moisture Exposure

After a sweaty session or play in damp conditions, we recommend the following simple steps:

  1. Wipe Clean: Gently wipe down the exterior of your INSAIT JOY player trackers with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
  2. Air Dry Completely: Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before placing them back in the shin guards or storing them.
  3. Check Contacts: Ensure no moisture remains on the charging contacts or in the USB port before connecting to power.

Following these guidelines will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards for many sessions to come.

What is the maximum recommended time to use Smart Shin Guards before syncing data?

Your INSAIT JOY Smart Shin Guards are equipped with robust internal storage designed to capture your performance data throughout your sessions. The product has the capacity to store up to 2 hours of detailed activity data.

Understanding the 2-Hour Data Storage Limit

  • Data Overwriting: If a single continuous session exceeds this 2-hour storage limit without synchronization, the oldest recorded data within that session will begin to be overwritten by new incoming data. This means you could lose the initial part of your session's data.
  • Potential Errors: Such long, unsynced sessions can also occasionally lead to unexpected errors due to full memory, including difficulty or inability to sync with the app properly, issues with the trackers recording new data accurately or even unable to record new data.

Solution for Errors

Should you encounter these errors (often indicated by a solid blue light on the tracker), a complete reset to factory settings will typically be required to clear the device's memory. Please refer to our guide: "How to reset INSAIT JOY football player trackers to factory settings" for instructions.

Recommendation for Optimal Performance & Data Safety

To ensure optimal performance, prevent data loss, and avoid potential errors, we highly recommend the following:

  • Sync After Every Session: Ideally, synchronize your data with the INSAIT JOY app immediately after each measurement session.
  • Sync During Extended Sessions: For exceptionally long or continuous sessions, make it a practice to synchronize your data with the app at least every 2 hours.

By following these guidelines, you'll ensure all your valuable performance insights are securely captured and stored.
