Method and system for measurement of the speed of a competitor on a race course
First Claim
1. A method for measurement of at least one speed of a competitor, such as a skier or a snowboarder, on a race course, such as a ski or snowboard course, by a measurement system with a transponder module worn by the competitor, the method comprising:
- activating the transponder module, which includes a measurement unit with at least one measurement sensor, at a start of a race,measuring the speed of the competitor by the measurement unit during the race along the course, andtransmitting the competitor'"'"'s speed measurement to at least one base station of the measurement system in real time in order to display the competitor'"'"'s speed in real time or continuously on at least one screen,wherein the transponder module is activated and synchronized as soon as the race starts by a wake-up and synchronisation signal from a transmitter of a decoder device of the measurement system.

Abstract
The method makes it possible to measure a speed of a competitor, such as a skier or snowboarder, on a ski or snowboard course, by means of a measurement system with a transponder module worn by the competitor. The method includes the step of activating the transponder module which includes a measurement unit with at least one measurement sensor, as soon as the race starts, a step of measuring the speed of the competitor via the measurement unit during the race along the course, and a step of transmitting the competitor'"'"'s speed measurement to at least one base station of a decoder device of the measurement system for a timing device in order to display the speed of the competitor in real time or continuously on at least one screen.

13. The system for measuring at least one speed of a competitor during a race, the measurement system comprising:
-
at least one personalised transponder module worn by the competitor, which includes a measurement unit for measuring a speed, a decoder device, and a timing device connected to the decoder device for timing the race of each competitor, the decoder device including a transmitter for transmission of an activation signal for the transponder module at a start of the race, and at least one base station for receiving a continuous speed measurement data signal from the transponder module during the race, wherein the transponder module is configured to be activated as soon as the race starts in order to provide a continuous speed measurement at any point on a race course. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
