Smart Glasses Remote Basketball Competition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current basketball training systems primarily focus on enhancing the recreational aspect and lack the capability to enable real-time, remote competition between basketball players, failing to provide effective feedback for improving skill levels in a competitive setting.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing smart glasses to capture and analyze real-time camera data from basketball players at remote locations, determining make/miss data, and communicating this data to enable remote competition, eliminating the need for sensors on the court, while also providing augmented reality feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional basketball training systems are used, then the recreational aspect is enhanced, but the capability to enable real-time remote competition and provide effective feedback for improving skill levels is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses camera data to create a visual copy of the basketball court and player actions, transmitting this visual information to remote players through smart glasses. This allows players at remote locations to see and interact as if they were physically present together, enabling real-time remote competition without requiring physical co-location.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate feedback by transmitting camera data and make/miss information to remote players in real-time. The smart glasses display visual feedback about shot outcomes and player positions, allowing athletes to analyze and evaluate their performance continuously during training and competition, thereby improving skill levels.
2Measurement precision
If sensors are installed on the court to track player performance, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and installation requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs smart glasses worn by players that automatically capture camera data and perform self-tracking of player movements and shot outcomes. The system uses the players' own devices to collect and transmit performance data, eliminating the need for external sensors installed on the court infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical sensor installations with optical camera-based tracking. Instead of using mechanical or electronic sensors mounted on the court to detect player positions and shot outcomes, the system uses cameras in smart glasses to capture visual data and analyze player performance through image processing.
3Ease of operation
If players are located at the same physical location, then real-time interaction is simplified, but adaptability to remote competition scenarios is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces smart glasses and camera data transmission as an intermediary between remote players. This intermediary technology bridges the physical distance by transmitting visual information and player actions in real-time, allowing players at different locations to interact as if they were co-located, thereby maintaining ease of operation while enabling remote competition.
