WIRELESS SENSOR SCORING WITH AUTOMATIC SENSOR SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. A shooting sports measurement system, comprising:
- a plurality of first sensors to detect shots taken by a plurality of players, a plurality of second sensors to determine shots made by the plurality of players, a console, the console communicatively coupled with the plurality of first sensors and the plurality of second sensors to receive data and determine performance of at least one player based at least in part on the data received; and
a synchronization mechanism to enable the console to learn which of the plurality of first sensors and the plurality of second sensors are associated with the console, thereby enabling the console to determine performance exclusively for players being monitored by the sensors associated with the console.

Abstract
Embodiments provide mechanisms and methods for measuring shooting performance in multiplayer environments. These mechanisms and methods include automatic synchronization that enables sensors associated with multiple players to interact with one or more control consoles in a common playing area free of interference. The ability to associate sensors to interact with one or more control consoles in a common playing area free of interference make it possible for coaches and players to measure levels of play, build teamwork among multiple players, improve and maintain skills, select players to meet game situations and team requirements, make decisions on player roles, and use playing environment space more efficiently.

18. A computer based method for measuring shooting sports performance, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
-
determining whether a shot is made;
synchronizing the shot with one of a plurality of players;
determining a location of the player taking the shot when the shot is taken;
receiving information about the player; and
determining performance of the player based on the determining steps.

19. A shooting sports measurement system, comprising:
-
a sensor to determine shots made, a detection mechanism that detects a position of a player when the player takes a shot;
a console, the console communicatively coupled with the sensor and the detection mechanism to receive data and determine performance of a player; and
a synchronization mechanism to associate the sensors with the console, thereby enabling the console to determine performance exclusively for players being monitored by the sensors. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
