Automated Timing Systems and Methods Having Multiple Time Event Recorders and an Integrated User Time Entry Interface
First Claim
1. A system for timing of a passing of an object past a monitored location where the monitored location is being monitored by a timing system having at least one automated object detection system for wirelessly detecting the passing of the object at the monitored location;
- the system comprising;
a remote entry computer system having a processor for executing computer executable instructions, a clock for determining a present time, a user interface for receiving user input data, a memory being a computer readable medium storing the computer executable instructions and the received user input data, and a communications interface for communicating with the timing system,wherein the remote entry computer system has computer readable medium including the computer executable instructions for performing the actions of;
receiving the user input data at the user interface;
receiving from the clock a user data input time associated with the receipt of the received user input data at the user interface;
storing the received user input data and the user data input time in the memory;
creating a received user data message including the stored user input data and a time value as a datagram message; and
transmitting the received user data message over the communications interface to the timing system.

Abstract
Systems and methods for timing of a passing of an object past a monitored location where the monitored location is being monitored by timing system having at least one automated object detection system for wirelessly detecting the passing of the object at the monitored location. The system comprises a remote entry computer system having a processor for executing computer executable instructions, a clock for determining a present time, a user interface for receiving user input data, a memory being a computer readable medium storing the computer executable instructions and the received user input data, and a communications interface for communicating with the timing system. The system includes a computer readable medium including the computer executable instructions for performing the method of receiving the user input data at the user interface, receiving from the clock a user data input time associated with the receipt of the received user input data at the user interface, and storing the received user input data and the user data input time in the memory. The computer executable instructions also include the method of creating a received user data message including the stored user input data and a time value as a datagram message and transmitting the user data message over the communications interface to the timing system.
