INSAIT JOY Smart Football is an advanced training tool designed to provide precise, real-time insights into your ball control and footwork.

As you engage in the various drills within the INSAIT JOY app, the smart football's embedded sensors provide live feedback on crucial aspects of your technique. Here's a breakdown of what the INSAIT JOY Smart Football measures:

• Results: Your successful drill performance within the set timeframe (e.g. 30 seconds or 60 seconds), directly reflecting your performance in this drill.
• Fluency: This metric assesses the smoothness, rhythm, and continuous nature of your touches. High fluency indicates excellent ball control without unnecessary hesitations or breaks in your movement.
• Frequency: Measures the sheer number of touches you make on the ball within a given timeframe. A higher frequency often correlates with faster footwork, improved agility, and quicker ball manipulation.
• Drops (for Juggling Drills): Specifically for juggling exercises, this metric tracks how many times the ball touches the ground. Minimizing drops is key to improving aerial control and coordination.

Getting started with INSAIT JOY Smart Football is incredibly simple, designed to get you training efficiently without complex setups. You only need three core components to unlock a new level of football skill development:

• The INSAIT JOY Smart Football: This is the heart of your training system. Embedded with advanced sensors, it precisely tracks your interaction with the ball.

• The INSAIT JOY App: Available for download on your smartphone, this app is your training hub. It connects wirelessly to the INSAIT JOY Smart Football to deliver real-time feedback, guide you through drills, track your progress, and provide all your performance analytics.

With INSAIT JOY, there's no need for complicated setups like casting to a TV or positioning your mobile phone cameras to track the ball. The smart football's integrated sensor communicates automatically and directly with the app, providing a seamless and immediate training experience.

Simply grab your smart football, launch the app, and you'll have everything required to take your game to the next level!

No, the INSAIT JOY Smart Football is not designed to track passing or shooting statistics during competitive football matches. It is specifically engineered for individual skill development and training.

Understanding INSAIT JOY's Purpose:

• Designed for Individual Skill Development: The INSAIT JOY Smart Football has been specifically engineered to help you improve essential technical skills through focused, repeatable drills. It excels at providing real-time feedback on your ball control, dribbling, specific kick techniques, and general footwork.
• Ideal for Individual Training: It's perfect for individual practice sessions in your backyard, a local park, or a training area, allowing you to easily train and improve without requiring any additional devices, complicated system setups, or subscriptions.

Why Match Tracking is Different (and what solution exists):

• Tracking comprehensive performance during a dynamic football match, including detailed pass completion rates, shot accuracy in game situations, and overall player movement, requires a significantly more advanced and complex system.
• Such robust match performance tracking typically relies on a Local Positioning System (LPS), like the INSAIT KS system. INSAIT KS utilizes Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology and a network of fixed anchors to provide centimeter-level positional accuracy for both players and the smart football across an entire pitch. These systems are specifically designed for team-level performance tracking in professional or academy environments, offering in-depth tactical and physical insights during live play.

In summary, while the INSAIT JOY helps you master individual techniques with precision, a dedicated team-level solution like INSAIT KS is required for comprehensive match data.

Absolutely not. The INSAIT JOY Smart Football's core technology for tracking ball movement relies entirely on its advanced internal sensors and sophisticated algorithms, not your phone's camera.

Here's why this sensor-based approach is superior for your training:

1. Dedicated Sensor-Based Tracking (Core Technology):

The INSAIT JOY Smart Football is equipped with precise internal sensors (e.g., IMUs - Inertial Measurement Units) that accurately detect and record every touch, movement, rotation, and force applied to the ball. These sensors, combined with intelligent algorithms, process raw data to provide real-time insights into your ball skills. No video tracking or complex computer vision technology from your phone's camera is required for the ball's movement tracking.

2. Freedom from Camera Limitations:

We understand that relying on a phone camera for tracking can be highly restrictive and distracting for users. You would need to:

• Find a stable way to position your phone on the ground or a stand.
• Constantly ensure the camera lens captures the ball's movement within its field of view.
• Risk losing tracking if the ball goes out of camera range, is obscured, or if lighting conditions are poor.

This approach would add unnecessary complications and distractions, pulling your focus away from what truly matters: concentrating on your skill training drills.

3. Enhanced User Experience & Focus:

By utilizing advanced embedded sensors, the INSAIT JOY Smart Football allows you to fully concentrate on improving your football skills without needing to worry about camera setup, angles, or whether the ball is being properly captured by a lens. Your movement is unrestricted, and data is consistently collected.

4. Purpose of the Video Recording Function:

The video recording function in the INSAIT JOY app is an optional add-on feature, completely separate from the ball's tracking mechanism. Its purpose is to empower you (or your friends and parents) to record your training sessions, capture highlights, and showcase your skills. This allows you to:

• Visually review your technique alongside the precise data.
• Create shareable moments for social media.
• Build a personal video diary of your football journey.

In essence, INSAIT JOY prioritizes seamless and accurate skill tracking through its smart ball's internal technology, with video recording as a complementary tool for visual review and sharing.

INSAIT JOY Smart Football utilizes a comprehensive and engaging gamified system to track your skill development progress over time in the companion INSAIT JOY app. This system provides clear, measurable indicators of your improvement, making your training journey both effective and motivating.

Here’s how your progress is tracked after each training session:

1. Performance-Based Star Rating:

• Evaluation: After every session, your performance is automatically evaluated and assigned a Star Rating, from 1 to 3 Stars. This rating is based on the quality of your drill execution, considering key metrics like your results.
• Indicator of Success: A higher star rating signifies a more effective, skillful, and successful training session, providing an immediate snapshot of your daily performance.

2. Earning Experience (EXP) Points:

• Reward for Performance: Achieving higher star ratings in your sessions earns you valuable Experience (EXP) Points. The better your performance, the more EXP you accumulate.
• Contribution to Growth: These EXP points directly contribute to your overall progression within the app, providing a tangible reward for your consistent effort and improvement.

3. In-App Levels & Achievements:

• Level Progression: As you continuously earn EXP points, you will progress through various in-app levels. Each new level represents a significant milestone in your development, acknowledging your dedication and growing skill set.
• Unlocking Achievements: Beyond leveling up, the app also offers a range of achievements and badges that you can unlock. These are awarded for mastering specific drills, reaching particular performance thresholds, or maintaining consistent training habits.

This integrated system not only makes your training journey more engaging and fun but also provides clear, quantifiable indicators of your development in ball control, footwork speed, and accuracy, empowering you to see your skills grow and truly stand out on the pitch!
