An autonomous computer based method and system is described for personalized production of videos such as team sport videos such as basketball videos from multi-sensored data under limited display resolution. Embodiments of the present invention relate to the selection of a view to display from among the multiple video streams captured by the camera network. Technical solutions are provided to provide perceptual comfort as well as an efficient integration of contextual information, which is implemented, for example, by smoothing generated viewpoint/camera sequences to alleviate flickering visual artefacts and discontinuous story-telling artefacts. A design and implementation of the viewpoint selection process is disclosed that has been verified by experiments, which shows that the method and system of the present invention efficiently distribute the processing load across cameras, and effectively selects viewpoints that cover the team action at hand while avoiding major perceptual artefacts.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for determining when an athlete is in possession of a ball by analyzing image data are provided. A camera is worn by an athlete and is turned on when the athlete is in proximity of a ball. The camera is used to generate an image of a ball. The size of the ball is determined and compared to a threshold. The athlete is considered to be in possession of the ball when the size of the image exceeds the threshold.

A system and method which enable the operation of a lottery type of game based on sports, although there may also be applications in a number of team sports or racing events. The results of the game are determined from a selected parameter derived from the results of each of a number of sporting events.

The present invention is directed to a system and method of distributing game play instructions to players during a game, more specifically a system and method for allowing a portable remote terminal and/or a game apparatus to dynamically transmit and/or receive in game instructions in real-time concerning game play instructions to be effected on the field or court, and to be distributed to one, a plurality, or all team players wearing a headgear configured to receive audio transmissions of the game play instructions from a game play apparatus, another headgear and/or the portable remote terminal.

Devices, systems, and methods for training players of team sports are presented. A robot athlete emulates a sports player and includes a motive system for moving about a sports field. The robot athlete also includes an anthropomorphic figure with mechanisms for rotating the torso, raising the arms, and a lifting the torso to emulate a stretch or jump. An inventive method and system for controlling the robot athlete may include resetting the body of the robot athlete to a neutral position and determining if one of a plurality of modes of operation has been selected. Exemplary modes of operation may include an automatic mode, a pursuit mode, and a remote control mode. In the automatic mode, the robot athlete may monitor an array of sensors with a control system that responds to human player movement with one or more sets of predefined motion routines.

A team sport training system is configured to provide an immersive simulation of at least a portion of an opponent team play responsive to real actions of a player.

Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a team sport community including organizing a sporting event for a team sport. More specifically, a team sport may be selected from a plurality of team sports and a team having a plurality of positions may be assembled to participate in the team sporting event. One or more players may be associated with each position on the team. Each player may have a player profile that describes player information such as a player's name, games scheduled for the player, and the player's statistics. A player may create a sporting event for a team and may also search for a sporting event in which to play as an individual player or as a position on a team. A player may also search for a sporting event by the location of the sporting event and obtain information about the location, time, teams, and players associated with the sporting event.

The invention relates to a sport game system based on augmented reality. A method comprises the following steps of (1) setting the game; (2) through the real sports of players, enabling characters in the game to do sports in the environment identical to the self located position of the players; and detecting whether the augmented reality conditions are reached or not in the sports; and (3) if the augmented reality game conditions are reached, entering the augmented reality game to perform animal catching; and returning a real sport interface after the catching. An augmented reality game platform is built, so that people can start software in leisure time in the work, study or living areas; the goals of improving the self immunologic ability, breathing fresh air and experiencing the area culture can be achieved through the sports in the software; and people can enter the augmented reality game when feeling tied after the sports, and can catch pets to win rewards, so that interestingness is obtained in the sports.

The invention relates to a method, device and system for the sensor-based tracking of a variable locomotion, and, in particular, to a method, device and system for acceleration-sensor based measurement of the highly erratic movement of a team sports player. The method comprises continuously measuring acceleration values corresponding to the locomotion of a person. For a single step of the person, a type of locomotion is determined by analyzing a temporal sequence of acceleration values of a portion of the acceleration values corresponding to the single step. Further, a swing time and at least one characterizing acceleration value are determined from the acceleration values for the single step and the step length is determined based on the type of locomotion, the swing time and the at least one characterizing acceleration value.

A bandanna can connect a person to an object, such as a sports team for example, by printing the team name on the bandanna and wearing the bandanna around the neck. The bandanna may be worn for team sports to identify players on different teams by using differently designed bandannas, making uniforms unnecessary. In some embodiments, the bandanna may be used for sports such as flag football or flag rugby, where the bandanna may act as the flag where removal of the bandanna is a “tackle”. The bandanna may connect around the neck using a magnet or a clip, for example.

A team sport rivalry outfit featuring removably separable fan and rival team sides and an identifier affixed to one or to both the fan team side and the rival team side to indicate a wearer's support for the fan team side and lack of support for the rival team side. The rivalry outfit may be configured as shirts, jackets, pants, hats, and skirts. The identifier is permanently or removably affixed to the fan team side or to the rival team side. The fan and rival team sides are permanently sewn together, or removably affixed to one another using hook and loop fasteners, zippers, snaps, or other standard removable closures.

The present invention relates to team sports and sports implements, and more specifically to methods and devices for sanitizing balls during play. One or more sports balls are may be introduced into the device of the present invention which comprises one or more ultra-violet light sources, and has an insertion and a dispensing region, between which each of said plurality of balls travels at a rate that ensures that each of said plurality of balls remains in said apparatus for at least a kill-time period. Ultra violet rays are presented to the surfaces of the plurality of sports balls as the ball traverses between the insertion and extraction regions of the device.
