[0019] Embodiments of the present disclosure and their advantages may be understood by reference to the following detailed description. It should be appreciated that the same reference numerals are used to label elements shown in one or more of the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings show various examples for purposes of illustration and explanation, which are related to embodiments of the present disclosure and not for purposes of limitation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In various embodiments, a system running an event ticket service may receive a search request for an event at a particular venue location. Based on the search request for event tickets and possible other data collected about the user, the system may identify specific areas of the venue location that may be favored by the user. For example, based on a search request for a baseball game at a particular stadium, the system may identify exciting and / or stimulating areas of the stadium where users may have the opportunity to interact with players at the baseball game. Specifically, the system may identify areas near player entrances, player exits, and player resting areas where fans may "high five" with players. Further, the system may identify areas at a particular venue location where celebrities are likely to be seated, which may be due to various factors, such as the importance of the game, the city where the venue location is located, the home team, the visiting team, and / or additional data collected by the system.

[0021] In some embodiments, the system can analyze data to determine the area that may obtain commemorative gifts, gifts and / or souvenirs from a particular activity.For example, for sports activities, the system can determine the area that may receive baseball from home runs, the area that may receive batting gloves from batters, the area that may receive rugby from touchdowns, the area that may receive jerseys and / or other forms of sportswear from athletes.In some cases, the system can calculate the probability that foul balls or home run balls may fall in the area in baseball games.The system can identify these areas based on statistical analysis and athlete behavior, and athlete behavior can indicate the strong hitters about a given team and / or the weak pitchers that can allow more hits and / or home runs.The system can also identify such areas based on attack and / or defensive capabilities, indicating the athlete's behavior of having thrown baseball into the crowd before, and the data of the additional form collected by the system.Under the background of rugby games, for example, the system can determine the area where rugby may fall due to shooting and / or after touchdowns at the stadium, and some athletes may throw rugby to fans, and other probabilities.

[0022] In some embodiments, based on the identified and / or determined regions, the system may recommend tickets for events that are available for sale in those regions. In addition, the system may provide an estimated excitement level for the event based on the region to which the ticket is assigned. Yet further, the excitement level may be based on various characteristics of the game, such as the desired pace of play, the situation that the home team must win in order to advance to the playoffs or league, certain athletes may return from injuries during the game, and other factors that may affect the excitement level. Thus, a user may discover specific events and regions at the location of the venue based on an expected entertainment level that is specific to the user (e.g., customized and / or specifically set).

[0023] In some embodiments, a search request for event tickets may be represented by various forms of data, including event data, venue location data, user account data, and / or data of interest to the user, as well as other types of data. In some cases, various types of such data may be represented by packetized data, also referred to as data packets and / or packets. In some cases, a server may manage data packets corresponding to multiple event tickets, and the server may transmit such data to a client device, such as a user's smartphone. For example, consider the following scenario, in which a user uses an event ticket service to search for a specific event in order to search for available event tickets. In some cases, a user may use a smartphone to search for a specific event, and thus send a search request to a server. A server device may receive the search request and locate one or more event tickets based on information in the request and / or other data collected about the user. The server device may transmit a data packet indicating available event tickets to the smartphone. Thus, available event tickets may be shown on a display of the smartphone.

[0024] Figure 1 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system 100 according to one embodiment. As shown, system 100 includes multiple computing devices, such as server device 102, client device 104, and / or client device 106, as well as other types of possible computing devices. Server device 102 may be configured to support, operate, run, and / or manage an event ticket service that searches for available event tickets and / or transmits data about such tickets to client devices 104 and / or 106. Thus, communication network 108 is also included in system 100. System 100 may include more or less than the following: Figure 1 1 and possibly communicate with each device via a communication network 108. In various embodiments, server device 102, client device 104, and client device 106 are configured to communicate with each device via a communication network 108.

[0025] In some embodiments, the communication network 108 may be a packet switching network configured to provide digital network communications and / or exchange data of various forms, contents, types and / or structures. The communication network 108 may correspond to a small-scale communication network, such as a private network and / or a local area network. The communication network 108 may also correspond to a large-scale network, such as a wide area network or the Internet, which may be accessed by various devices of the system 100. The communication network 108 may include network adapters, switches, routers, network nodes and / or various buffers and queues to exchange data packets. For example, the communication network 108 may be configured to carry data packets, such as a first data packet 126 and a second data packet 128, which include activity data, venue location data, user account data, user interest data, available event ticket data and / or other types of data. The communication network 108 may exchange such packets 126 and / or 128 between the server device 102, the client device 104 and / or the client device 106 using various protocols, such as the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP), as well as other possible protocols.

[0026] In some embodiments, the system 100 may implement software components that operate in order to perform in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings. For example, the system 100 may include stand-alone and / or enterprise-level server devices, other server devices that implement one or more operating systems, such as client-based and / or server-based operating systems. It should be appreciated that, as Figure 1The client devices and / or server devices shown may be deployed in other ways so that the operations performed and / or services provided by such client devices may be combined or separated for a given embodiment and may be performed by a greater or lesser number of devices and / or server devices. One or more devices may be operated and / or maintained by the same or different entities.

[0027] In some cases, the system 100 includes a server device 102, which can be configured to perform various operations in accordance with the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings. For example, the server device 102 can be configured to receive an event search request indicating a location of a venue for an event. The server device 102 can determine an interest in excitement or stimulation in the event based on the activity data and / or interest data accessed from the user account. The server device 102 can determine one or more regions at the location of the venue based on the determined interest in the event. The server device 102 can determine one or more available event tickets at the location of the venue for the event based on the one or more regions of interest. The server device 102 can transmit an indication of one or more available event tickets to a client device 104 and / or 106 configured to access the user account.

[0028] In some embodiments, a user account, which may also be referred to as an account, may be a collection of data associated with a user and / or a user's interests. Thus, some examples of an account may include an account that accesses event tickets via an event ticket service. Additionally, some examples of an account may include a social network account, an email account, a financial account, an e-commerce account, a smartphone account, and / or an account with a service provider, among other possible accounts. For example, an account for a particular user may include data about the user, data about the user's interests, and / or data on behalf of the user. Additionally, a user may provide an account with various types of data, such as a user's preferences for the location area of ​​the event venue.

[0029] The user account may be displayed on the computing device, such as described above with respect to Figure 1 Those computing devices described. Thus, a user account may be displayed on a smartphone, laptop, and / or wearable computing device that can be used to access the account. The user may operate the computing device and may manage their account on the computing device. For example, the computing device may be used to receive event ticket data, send data based on a search request, and / or store event ticket data associated with an account so that details about the event ticket may be viewed on the computing device. In addition, login information may be provided to verify the account, and payment information may be provided to reserve and / or purchase event tickets for the account.

[0030] In some embodiments, a user account may indicate various individuals that a user may be interested in. For example, a user account may identify athletes, sports players, celebrities, politicians, politicians, legislators, famous people, and / or other people that a user may be interested in. In addition, a user account may identify movies, sports teams, music groups, and / or comedians that a follower may be interested in. Yet further, an event ticket service may collect data about a user and aggregate the data into the user's account. Specifically, the service may track previous purchases of event tickets and specific seats selected for a given venue location, which may indicate future events that a user may be interested in. In addition, when booking event tickets, the service may track the user's preferences for seats at various venue locations. Thus, when a user is viewing tickets, the service may provide recommendations.

[0031] In some embodiments, an account may be created by one or more users. In addition, an account may be created by an event ticket service, application, website, and / or other service, as well as other possible means. Thus, various users may access a particular account of an event ticket service. For example, a user may be a company accessing a company account, possibly its employees, staff, staff, and / or labor personnel, as well as other individuals. Yet further, a user may be a computing device, computing system, robotic system, and / or other form of technology capable of sending and receiving data corresponding to an account. A user may provide a login name, password, code, verification data, biometric data, and / or other types of data to access an account.

[0032] In some embodiments, a user may have a single account on behalf of the user for an event ticket website, as well as multiple other accounts as described above, such as social network accounts, email accounts, and / or financial accounts, as well as websites, applications, and / or other services. For example, a user may choose to use their email account or social network account as a multi-purpose account to access the event ticket service and book event tickets for the account. For example, a user may use a multi-purpose account to search for event tickets for a particular event. The user may select one or more event tickets for an event at a venue location. In addition, the user may be prompted to provide login and / or verification information, thereby submitting the required information in order to continue booking the event ticket. In addition, the user may be prompted to provide payment and / or delivery information, thereby submitting the required information in order to continue booking the event ticket, possibly receiving confirmation information for booking the event ticket, and other possible information.

[0033] In some embodiments, the server device 102 may take various forms and may include various components, including, for example, a communication module 112, a transceiver 114, an interest processing component 116, a zone processing component 118, a ticket processing component 120, and a data store 122, any of which may be communicatively linked to the other components via a system bus, network, or other connection mechanism 124.

[0034] The communication module 112 may take various forms and may be configured to allow the server device 102 to communicate with one or more devices according to any number of protocols. For example, the communication interface 112 may include a transceiver 114 configured to allow the server device 102 to communicate with the client device 104 and / or 106 via the communication network 108. In one example, the communication interface 112 and / or the transceiver 114 may take the form of a wired interface, such as an Ethernet interface.

[0051] Figure 3 A venue location 300 including regions of interest 302 and 304 is shown according to one embodiment. In some embodiments, the system may include a system such as described above with respect to Figures 1 to 2B Specifically, the server device may include a communication interface, an interest processing component, a zone processing component, a ticket processing component, and a transceiver, such as the above Figures 1 to 2B In some cases, the communication interface of the server device may receive a search request for an event, such as a sporting event, a show event, a concert event, a movie event, and / or a comedy event, among other types of events. For example, the communication interface may receive a request from a smartphone of a particular user interested in booking tickets for a particular event. The search request may include event data indicating the location of a venue where the event is being held, such as a stadium, arena, stadium, and / or other facility, such as an auditorium and / or theater suitable for other types of events. Figure 3 As shown in , the activity data may indicate a venue location 300 of a baseball stadium.

[0052] In some embodiments, the interest processing component may determine an excitement interest in an event, such as a baseball game, based on the activity data and / or interest data associated with the user account. For example, a user may indicate an excitement interest in a search request for available event tickets for a baseball game at venue location 300. In some cases, the server device may access data from the user account for booking event tickets, possibly indicating the user's interest based on event tickets previously purchased by the user.

[0053] In some embodiments, the regional processing component of the server device may determine one or more excitement regions 302 and / or 304 at the venue location 300 based on the excitement interest in the baseball game activity. For example, the regional processing component may determine the region 302 based on the batters or players of the home team and / or the visiting team. For example, based on the batter's hits, the contact between the bat and the ball, and / or the ball trajectory during each inning and / or the entire multi-inning of the baseball game, the view from the region 302 may provide one or more batter perspectives and / or batter viewpoints. In addition, the regional processing component may determine one or more excitement regions 302 and / or 304 based on statistical analysis, such as the hitting percentage of a specific batter relative to one or more pitchers (e.g., the starting pitcher) of the opposing team. In addition, the view from the region 302 may include a pitcher's view of each pitcher from the home team and / or the visiting team. In some cases, the region 304 may be located close to the entrance and / or exit of the players participating in the baseball game, so that when the players enter / leave the game, the fans can reach out and "high five" with those players.

[0054] In some embodiments, a ticket processing component of a server device may determine one or more available event tickets for an event at a venue location 300 based at least on one or more excitement zones 302 and / or 304 at the venue location 300. For example, the ticket processing component may search an event ticket database for available seats in the excitement zones 302 and / or 304. The ticket processing component may search for available seats in the excitement zones 302 and / or 304 by quantity, price, section, row number, and / or seat number. Thus, the ticket processing component may determine, identify, and / or locate one or more available event tickets in the excitement zones 302 and / or 304.

[0055] In some embodiments, the transceiver of the communication interface can transmit an indication of one or more available event tickets to a client device configured to access the one or more available event tickets. For example, the transceiver can transmit an indication to a smartphone of a user interested in reserving and / or purchasing event tickets for a baseball game. Thus, the user can provide payment information in order to reserve event tickets for the baseball game.

[0056] In some embodiments, the interest processing component can determine excitement interests based on the activity data of the search request. For example, the excitement interests can indicate one or more preferences indicating a desire to be seated proximate to the players on the sports field at the venue location 300. Thus, the region processing component can determine one or more excitement regions 302 and 304, which include areas within a certain range from the activity, such as a baseball stadium, home plate and / or pitcher's mound, and other areas of the venue location 300.

[0057] In some embodiments, the regional processing component can determine one or more excitement areas 302 and 304, including areas where souvenirs are expected to be received from the activity location. For example, the regional processing component can determine area 302 based on statistical analysis, performance and / or athlete behavior, which includes areas where baseball caps, batting gloves, jerseys and / or other forms of commemorative gifts are expected to be received from baseball games. In addition, the regional processing component may determine area 302 based on the availability and / or health of the athlete, which includes areas where foul balls are expected to be received from one or more batters in the baseball game. It should also be noted that the venue location 300 can hold other activities, such as rugby games, football games, track and field activities, concerts and / or other performance activities. For example, the venue location 300 can hold rugby games, wherein the regional processing component may determine areas 302 and 304 based on statistical analysis of athlete behavior and / or performance, which includes areas where rugby is expected to be received from athletes who touch down with the ball. However, further, areas 302 and 304 may include areas where athletes jump or leap into the crowd after touching down with the ball, as well as other possible areas.

[0058] In some embodiments, the region processing component may determine one or more excitement regions 302 and 304, which include areas where one or more people identified in the activity data and / or interest data are expected to be seated. The one or more people identified may include athletes, such as famous athletes who have broken one or more records. The one or more people identified may include celebrities, such as famous people, famous people, and / or political figures, such as politicians, governors, senators, congressmen, and other political figures. For example, the activity data of the search request may indicate an interest in famous athletes who previously attended baseball games at the venue location 300. Therefore, the region processing component may determine the excitement region 302, which includes an area where the famous athlete is expected to be seated. However, in another example, the interest data from the user account may indicate an interest in actor celebrities who previously attended certain baseball games at the venue location 300. In such a case, the region processing component may determine the excitement region 304, which includes an area where the actors identified in the interest data are expected to be seated.

[0059] In some embodiments, the activity data may indicate at least one of the home team of the venue location 300, the visiting team of the venue location 300, and the importance level of the activity. The importance level may indicate a matchup between two or more teams, a league, a series, a playoff, a quarterfinal, a semifinal, a final, a championship, a high-profile match, a match broadcast on national television, and / or other signs of importance. In some cases, based on the activity data, the regional processing component may determine the area where the one or more people identified are expected to be seated. For example, considering the above scenario, where the activity data indicates an interest in a famous athlete. In such a case, the activity data may further indicate the visiting team of the venue location 300, possibly indicating that a relative of the famous athlete plays for the visiting team. Therefore, based on this information, the regional processing component may determine the area where the famous athlete is expected to be seated.

[0060] In some embodiments, the interest processing component may determine the excitement interest in the activity based on the interest data of the user account. In addition, in some cases, the indication of one or more saleable event tickets may include an interest level corresponding to the interest data of the user account. The interest level may include a pie chart, a donut chart, a polar chart, a ring chart, a sunburst chart, a bar chart and / or other types of statistical charts. For example, the interest processing component may determine the excitement interest based on the interest data indicating interest in famous athletes as described above. However, further, the indication of one or more saleable event tickets may include a high and / or strong interest level (e.g., the pie chart is substantially filled or completely filled) based on one or more saleable tickets that mark seats in the same area where the famous athletes are expected to be seated.

[0061] In some embodiments, the transceiver may transmit an indication of one or more event tickets available for sale to a client device, which takes the form of a wearable computing device. Accordingly, the wearable computing device may be configured to display an indication of one or more event tickets available for sale, possibly including an interest level as described above. In some cases, the wearable computing device may be configured to display a view from one or more excitement zones at the venue location 300. For example, the view may provide an augmented reality and / or experience based on a perspective from one or more excitement zones 302, possibly looking toward a baseball stadium and / or one or more surrounding areas of the venue location 300.

[0062] In some embodiments, a user may be searching for tickets for a baseball game that may be played at a baseball stadium on Friday night. For example, consider the following scenario, in which a user may be interested in trying to get an autograph from a player on the home team. However, the system may determine that the player has suffered a minor injury and may not be suitable for the game or the field. Therefore, the system may calculate the low probability that the user gets an autograph. However, in some cases, the system may determine the greater probability that the user gets an autograph from a baseball game planned at the baseball stadium next Saturday. The system may recognize that the player's injury may be cured before the baseball game time planned for next Saturday. Therefore, the system may calculate the higher probability that the user finds the player and asks for an autograph. The system may also determine the following area, in which the user may be close to the home team rest area during or after the game and is likely to find the player. Therefore, the system may send instructions for tickets available for sale in such an area of ​​the game and the probability that the user finds the player during the game.

[0063] In some cases, the system may send such indications based on the user's interest in the athlete. For example, the system may determine the level of interest, possibly high or low interest in the athlete, to determine whether alternative or additional activities can be indicated to the user. In some cases, the system may determine the level of interest in getting autographs from the athlete and indicate multiple games where the user has a high probability of getting autographs. In some cases, the system may determine a lower level of interest in getting autographs from the athlete and indicate one or more games where the user is likely to get autographs.

[0064] Figure 4 FIG. 4 shows a venue location 400 including one or more regions of interest 402 and 404 according to one embodiment. The venue location 400 may, for example, be as described above with respect to FIG. Figure 3 The form of the venue location 300 described above.

The event may be a baseball game, another type of sporting event, a performance event, a concert event, a movie event, and / or a comedy event, such as described above with respect to Figures 1 to 3 However, it should be noted that the activity may also be an indoor activity, such as a basketball game, a volleyball game, a wrestling event, a boxing event, a mixed martial arts event, an indoor track and field event, an indoor concert, and / or another indoor performance event.

[0066] In some embodiments, operation may include determining, by one or more components of the server device, an interest in an activity based on activity data and / or interest data of a user account. For example, based on a search request received by a communication interface, activity data may be generated by one or more components. In addition, interests may include safety interests in the activity, possibly safety interests in protecting certain individuals during a baseball game, certain individuals such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly, which may be seated away from speakers, protected from foul balls from batters, and / or protected from broken bats such as fragments that may damage and / or injure these individuals. Yet further, safety interests may include keeping these individuals away from certain crowds, possibly including certain fans who may be drunk and / or hostile to a rival team and / or player.

[0067] In some embodiments, operations may include determining, by one or more components, one or more areas of interest 402 and 404 at the venue location 400 based at least on interest in the event. For example, one or more areas of interest 402 and / or 404 may protect certain individuals from being harmed by foul balls, given a safety interest scenario at the event. Specifically, area 402 may be protected by foul ball fence 406 to prevent harm from being harmed by foul balls. In addition, area 404 may include less crowded areas and / or potentially quieter areas that are more suitable for certain individuals (e.g., children, newborns, pregnant women, and / or the elderly, as well as other individuals who are interested in safer areas).

[0068] In some embodiments, operations may include determining, by one or more components, one or more available event tickets for an event at venue location 400 based at least on one or more regions of interest 402 and 404. For example, a ticket processing component (e.g., as described above with respect to Figures 1 to 3 The ticket processing component (such as those described above) may search the event ticket database for available event tickets for seats in the area of ​​interest 402 and / or 404. The ticket processing component may search, identify, and / or locate available event tickets 408 and 410 for seats 418 and 420, respectively, in the area of ​​interest 402. In some cases, the tickets 408 and 410 may be located based on the requested price, block, row, seat, seat number, and / or ticket quantity / price in the area of ​​interest 402 and / or 404. Further, the operations may include transmitting, by a transceiver of the communication interface, an indication of the one or more available event tickets 408 and 410 to a client device configured to access a user account.

[0069] In some embodiments, one or more areas of interest 402 and / or 404 may include safe areas outside a specified distance from the event. For example, area of ​​interest 404 may include one or more safe areas outside a specified distance from a baseball stadium, home plate and / or pitcher's mound, and other areas of venue location 400.

[0070] Figure 5 FIG. 5 shows a venue location 500 including one or more regions of interest 502 according to one embodiment. The venue location 500 may be, for example, respectively as described above with respect to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The form of the venue location 300 and / or 400. As described above, various operations (such as the above Figure 4 The operations described above may include determining one or more areas of interest at the location of the venue based on the interest in the event. In some cases, determining one or more areas of interest may also include determining an area 502 in which one or more people identified in the activity data and / or interest data are expected to be seated.

[0071] In some cases, the one or more persons identified may include athletes, celebrities, and / or politicians, as well as Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, considering one or more of the scenarios described above, one or more areas of interest may include area 502 where a famous athlete whose relative is playing for a visiting team is expected to be seated. In some cases, various interests (e.g., comfort, relaxation, and / or safety interests) may be satisfied while also satisfying interests in the identified individual (such as a famous athlete). In some embodiments, determining an area where the identified one or more individuals are expected to be seated may be based on determining the venue location 500, the home team at the venue location 500, the visiting team at the venue location 500, and the other types of individuals described above. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The level of importance of the activity being described.

[0072] In some cases, determining one or more areas of interest may include determining a region 502 separated from other regions 506, which is expected to receive a souvenir from the activity location 500. As shown, region 502 may satisfy or conform to some interests, including comfort, relaxation and / or safety interests. For example, region 502 behind the visiting team rest area and / or bench may be separated from region 506 near the home team rest area and / or bench, where various souvenirs may be thrown into the crowd. In addition, region 506 may be filled with fans who cheer for the home team, and region 502 may be less crowded and may be quieter. In some cases, region 502 may be determined based on the performance, behavior and availability of the athlete participating in the activity based on analysis statistics. For example, region 502 may be determined based on the statistical performance and behavior of the third baseman who can provide effective efforts for the visiting team. For example, the third baseman may be a popular athlete, perhaps available recently after recovering from an injury. Therefore, region 502 may be determined to be close to the place where the third baseman will appear during the activity.

[0073] In some embodiments, the ticket processing component may search, identify, and / or locate available event tickets 504 for seats 514 in the area of ​​interest 502. In some cases, the tickets 504 may be located based on price, block, row, seat, seat number, and / or number / price of tickets requested in the area of ​​interest 502. Further, operations may include transmitting, by a transceiver of the communication interface, an indication of the available event tickets 502 to a client device configured to access a user account.

In some embodiments, client device 701 displays a view of venue location 700 that can be from one or more areas of interest, an indication of one or more available event tickets, a description of an area where the identified individual is expected to be seated, an excitement level, a safety level, and information as described above. Figures 1 to 6 Other forms of activity data and / or interest data as described.

[0079] Figure 8 8 is a flow chart of an exemplary method 800 for determining one or more available event tickets at a venue location, according to one embodiment. It should be noted that one or more steps, processes, and methods described herein may be omitted, performed in a different order, and / or combined for various types of applications.

[0080] At step 802, method 800 includes receiving activity data via a communication interface of a server device, wherein the activity data includes an indication of a venue location and interests corresponding to the venue location. For example, the activity data may be received by the server device as described above with respect to Figure 1 7. In addition, the event data may include an indication of the location of the event venue, such as the above-mentioned Figure 1 7. In some cases, activity data including an indication of a venue location and interests corresponding to the venue location can be part of a search request from a user and / or user account. In addition, the activity data can include interests, including excitement interests, safety interests, and / or comfort interests, as well as interests described above with respect to Figure 1 To other interests described in Figure 7.

[0081] At step 804, method 800 includes determining, by one or more components of the server device, one or more regions of interest for the venue location based at least on interests corresponding to the venue location. For example, the one or more regions of interest for the venue location may be determined based on excitement interests, safety interests, and / or interests in the identified individual, as well as various other interests and / or combinations of interests, which may be provided in the search request.

[0082] At step 806, method 800 includes determining, by one or more components of the server device, one or more event tickets at the venue location, e.g., available event tickets, based at least on the one or more regions of interest at the venue location. As described above, one or more components, such as a ticket processing component, may search an event ticket database for available seats in the region of interest at the venue location. For example, the ticket processing component may search for available seats in the region of interest by quantity, price, section, row number, and / or seat number.

[0083] At step 808, method 800 includes transmitting, by the transceiver of the communication interface, an indication of one or more available event tickets to the client device. The indication of one or more available event tickets may be transmitted to the client device as described above with respect to Figure 1 7, including client device 701 which may take the form of a head-mounted display / device (HMD). Thus, the indication may provide one or more augmented reality views of the location of the venue from the area of ​​interest, a description of the area of ​​interest where individuals identified in the interest data are expected to be seated, excitement levels and / or safety levels, and other forms of activity data and / or interest data.

[0084] In some embodiments, one or more regions of interest may include an area of ​​excitement within a specified distance from an activity. In some cases, an activity may include a sporting event, a performance event, a concert event, a movie event, and / or a comedy event. For example, an activity may include a rugby game, wherein one or more regions of interest include an area of ​​excitement within a specified distance from a player entrance, a player exit, and / or a player rest area.

[0085] In some embodiments, determining one or more areas of interest may include determining areas where one or more individuals identified in an interest corresponding to the location of the venue are expected to be seated. As described above, the identified individuals may include athletes, celebrities, and / or politicians, as well as Figure 3 7. In some cases, determining the area where the identified one or more persons are expected to be seated is based on determining the importance level of the venue location, the home team at the venue location, the visiting team to the venue location, and / or the event, as well as the above-mentioned Figure 1 This is done by taking into account the other factors described in Figure 7.

[0086] In some embodiments, determining one or more regions of interest for a location of a ball may be based on determining the probability of the ball landing within the one or more regions of interest. In some cases, the probability may be based on the following formula:

[0087] In some cases, the time period may be based on a particular time of year and / or season, possibly corresponding to weather. Further, the time period may be based on the importance of the event, indicating a matchup between two or more teams, a league match, a series, a playoff game, a quarterfinal, a semifinal, a final, a championship game, a high profile game, a game broadcast on national television, and / or the like as described above with respect to Figure 3 To other indications of importance as described in FIG. 7 .

[0088] Yet further, the probability may be determined based on other factors, such as the probability of a foul ball and / or a home run ball landing in one or more regions of interest, offensive and defensive statistics, player statistics indicating strong hitters and / or weak pitchers for a given team that may allow more hits and / or home runs, the skill level of players participating in a baseball game (such as batters, pitchers, and outfielders), and / or the probability that a football player in a football game may throw the ball into the crowd after holding the ball for a touchdown, the probability that a kicker may kick the football into the region of interest during a field goal, and as described above with respect to Figure 3 7. That is, according to embodiments of the present invention, the interest level of a venue location may be determined based on statistical analysis of players / games (e.g., a large number of "power hitters" against weak pitchers, high scoring football games, etc.), player behaviors and / or tendencies (e.g., football players who typically throw footballs into the stands during touchdown celebrations and / or baseball players who throw the ball to fans after catching a fly ball), and / or the availability of athletes involved in the event.

[0089] In some embodiments, a user may be searching for tickets for a baseball game, such as a game that may be on Friday night at a baseball stadium. For example, consider the following scenario, in which a user may be interested in trying to get a home run ball from the home team. However, the system may determine that the pitcher who is expected to start the visiting team allows fewer home runs than other pitchers. Therefore, the system can calculate a low probability, such as a 0.001% chance, that the user gets a home run ball during the game on Friday night. However, in some cases, the system may determine that the user has a greater probability of getting a home run ball during a baseball game scheduled for Saturday night at the baseball stadium. The system can identify that those pitchers who are expected to play on the visiting team on Saturday night allow more home runs than the visiting pitchers who are expected to start on Friday. Perhaps the visiting pitcher who plays on Saturday night is a second-line pitcher due to an injury to a first-line pitcher. Therefore, the system can calculate a high probability, such as a 0.1% chance, that the user gets a home run ball on Saturday. The system may also determine an area where the user has a closer to 1% chance of getting a home run during a Saturday night game, possibly based in part on other fans planning to attend the game but likely not being able to get a ball. Thus, the system may send an indication of available tickets for Friday and / or Saturday night games in the area of ​​interest and the user's corresponding probability of getting a home run on a given night.
