System and method of visual synchronization of mobile devices for sporting events and shows

Description

/ 2 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF MOBILE DEVICES FOR SPORTING EVENTS AND SHOWS Field of invention

[001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless network communication and mobile device synchronization, specifically in the sector of sporting events, live entertainment and advertising activations. The system allows the remote coordination of thousands of mobile devices to create synchronized visual effects, and can be applied in stadiums, arenas, concerts, conferences and interactive marketing campaigns. Fundamentals of the invention

[002] Currently, fans and spectators already use flashlights and cell phone screens at sporting events and concerts to create visual effects in a spontaneous and disorganized way. There are lighting systems at events that use LED wristbands or other proprietary devices for light synchronization, but these solutions require the distribution of specific hardware and have a high cost.

[003] The technical problem that this invention solves is the lack of a scalable and easy-to-implement system that allows for efficient and coordinated synchronization of mobile phone screens without the need for additional hardware. VibraStadium enables any user, by accessing a link or using an application, to participate in real-time synchronization, allowing the formation of digital mosaics, dynamic visual patterns, and interactive activations at events. Brief description of the drawings Figure 1: Illustrates the system's workflow, where the control panel sends commands to the connected devices. Figure 2: Shows the formation of digital mosaics distributed among the cell phones. Petition 870250085591, dated 09 / 22 / 2025, page 7 / 13 / 2 Description of the invention

[005] VibraStadium consists of a mobile device synchronization system, where a centralized server sends visual patterns and animations in real time to connected mobile phones. The system can be accessed via a web link without the need to install an application or via an installed app for a more enhanced experience.

[006] The system's operation involves the following elements:

[007] Control Panel: Administrative interface where an operator can define visual patterns, mosaics, transitions, and sponsorship activations.

[008] Synchronization Server: Responsible for distributing commands to devices in real time via WebSockets or equivalent protocol.

[009] Mobile Devices (Users): Each fan receives the commands and displays the visual information according to their position in the stadium.

[010] Digital Mosaic Mode: The system divides images or visual patterns into segments, which are distributed to devices according to their location.

[011] Intelligent Synchronization: Adjusts response times so that all devices display the effects at the same time, compensating for network latencies. Examples of embodiments of the invention

[012] VibraStadium can be applied in the following situations: (i) Goal Celebrations: At the moment of a goal, cell phones can display synchronized visual effects. (ii) Team Entrance: Formation of digital mosaics showing the club's crest or customized patterns. (iii) Sponsor Activation: Brands can customize visual patterns and interact with the fans.

[013] For comparative testing, a simulation was performed with devices connected simultaneously, and the visual effects were transmitted without perceptible glitches, demonstrating the scalability and efficiency of the system. Petition 870250085591, dated 09 / 22 / 2025, page 8 / 13

Claims

1 / 2 CLAIMS 1. VISUAL SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICES AT SPORTING EVENTS AND SHOWS, characterized by comprising a remote control panel, a data synchronization server and a network of mobile devices connected via the internet, where the server receives commands from the control panel and distributes them in real time to the mobile devices, allowing the synchronized display of predefined visual patterns.

2. SYSTEM, according to claim 1, characterized in that mobile devices can be connected to the system via a web link without the need to install applications.

3. SYSTEM, according to claim 1, characterized in that mobile devices can be connected to the system via a dedicated application installed on the devices.

4. SYSTEM, according to claim 1, characterized by having a digital mosaic mode, where the system divides an image into multiple segments and distributes each segment to a specific set of mobile devices, allowing the formation of a synchronized mosaic at the event.

5. SYSTEM, according to claim 1, characterized by using latency compensation technology, ensuring that visual patterns are displayed synchronously regardless of differences in the connection quality of mobile devices.

6. SYSTEM, according to claim 1, characterized by allowing the customization of visual displays through the control panel interface, enabling real-time changes during the event.

7. METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING MOBILE DEVICES AT EVENTS, characterized by comprising the access of mobile devices to the system via Petition 870250085591, dated 09 / 22 / 2025, page 4 / 13 2 / 2 web link or application, the communication of the devices with the synchronization server, the synchronized receipt and display of predefined visual commands, and the automatic adjustment of latency to ensure uniformity in the display of visual effects.

8. METHOD, according to claim 7, characterized by the possibility of remotely activating customized visual effects through the control panel, enabling real-time interactions with the audience.

9. METHOD, according to claim 7, characterized by the use of synchronization based on geographic location or event sector for defining the visual patterns displayed by mobile devices.

10. METHOD, according to claim 7, characterized in that the commands sent by the server to the mobile devices directly include the value of the color to be displayed, enabling the immediate and uniform display of solid colors on all devices.

11. METHOD, according to claim 7, characterized in that the commands sent by the server include a future temporal reference and visual effect parameters, so that each mobile device synchronizes its local clock and autonomously renders the animation as a function of time, allowing the animation to run without the need to transmit individual frames over the network, precise synchronization between all devices even under heterogeneous network conditions, and correct display of the visual effect even by devices that join the network after the animation has started.

12. METHOD, according to claim 11, characterized in that the temporal reference used can be any mechanism that allows the derivation of local rendering from time and effect parameters, not limited to the use of epoch. Petition 870250085591, dated 09 / 22 / 2025, p. 5 / 13
