Abstract
Snowboarding is an incredible winter sport, it's fast, exhilarating, and thrilling but it's also physically demanding. Time and energy should not be wasted on fumbling with snowboarding bindings. The Auto-Secure Bindings (ASB) provides an elegant solution and makes the most out of the snowboarding experience. The ASB is an automated, easy-to-use, and efficient snowboard binding system.Note that the ASB is not an add-on upgrade product for existing snowboard bindings, it is a standalone system. Hence, the ASB is comprised of two units: a pair of automated snowboard bindings and a wireless remote controller. The pair of automated snowboard bindings is an improved hybrid design from all current types of bindings. Motors and specialized locking ratchet joints facilitate in tightening and holding the user's snowboarding boot in place while riding down the mountain. The bindings will receive signals from the remote controller to perform its various automated functions. The wireless remote controller is a small handheld device with tactile buttons. The remote control will transmit commands to the snowboard bindings and the user can store the controller within their pockets when not in use.
