Abstract

Embodiments disclosed provide a solution to detect a rally in a sports game. One or more stroke actions or non-stroke actions are detected based on motion data detected by a sensor attached to a sports instrument of a user. Using a trained stroke classification model, each detected stroke action is classified into a plurality of classes. Additionally, a determination is made whether each detected non-stroke action is an intentional special user action. The determination whether a non-stroke action is an intentional special user action is made based on a customized set of definitions defining one or more special user actions. One or more rallies are then detected based on the classified stroke actions and intentional special user actions.
