Abstract

A digital scoreboard system and method for public posting of exercise scores using a digital scoreboard is described herein. The method comprises receiving at least one exercise score from a user and at least one further exercise score from a further user. The exercise score and the further exercise score are processed and posted together with the processing data via a digital scoreboard display device. The digital scoreboard display device is publicly disposed on a premise associated with a sport club. The user and the further user are provided access to the exercise scores and the processing data.

Claims

1. A method for posting exercise scores of sport club members, the method comprising:

receiving, by a digital scoreboard engine, at least one exercise score from a user, wherein the least one exercise score is associated with the user;

receiving, by the digital scoreboard engine, at least one further exercise score from a further user, wherein the at least one further exercise score is associated with the further user;

processing, by the digital scoreboard engine, the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score to rank the user in relation to the further user, calculate statistics for the user and the further user, and compute progress associated with the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score; and

posting, via a digital scoreboard display device, the at least one exercise score, the at least one further exercise score, and data related to the processing.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the digital scoreboard display device is displayed on a premise associated with a sport club.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user provides the at least one exercise score via an input device, the input device being attached to the digital scoreboard;

and

wherein the input device includes a touch screen tablet device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user provides the at least one exercise score via a digital scoreboard application accessed from a client device associated with the user.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the user provides the at least one exercise locally or remotely.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the user includes a sport club member, a sport club trainer, a sport club coach, and a sport club administrator.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one exercise score is associated with a CrossFit workout.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the posting includes a rating and statistics of at least the user and the further user based on the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the posting includes a summary dashboard associated with a plurality of scores of the sport club members.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

analyzing the at least one exercise score to assess one or more of the following;

remaining exercises of the user, progress of the user over a certain period, a total number of workouts of the user, and a total time of a workout of the user; and

based on the assessment, providing recommendations via a client device associated with the user.

11. A digital scoreboard system comprising:

a digital scoreboard engine configured to;

receive at least one exercise score from a user, wherein the least one exercise score is associated with the user;

receive at least one further exercise score from a further user, wherein the at least one further exercise score is associated with the further user;

process the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score to rank the user in relation to the further user, calculate statistics for the user and the further user, and compute progress associated with the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score; and

post the at least one exercise score, the at least one further exercise score, and data related to the processing; and

a database in communication with the digital scoreboard engine, the database configured to store the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a digital scoreboard display device configured to display the at least one exercise score, the at least one further exercise score, and data related to the processing.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the digital scoreboard display device is displayed on premises associated with a sport club.

14. The system of claim 12 further comprising an input device connected to the digital scoreboard display device, wherein the input device includes a touch screen tablet device.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the digital scoreboard display device includes a television set, a Liquid Crystal Display, and a video monitor.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein an input device communicates with the digital scoreboard display device via a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable, a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) cable, a Video Graphics Array (VGA) cable, by Bluetooth, or by WiFi.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the digital scoreboard engine resides in a computing cloud or on a server.

18. The system of claim 11, further comprising a digital scoreboard application configured to:

receive user input associated with the at least one exercise score; and

transmit the at least one exercise score to the digital scoreboard engine.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising an administrator console configured to provide access to management capabilities of the digital scoreboard system.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, perform the following operations:

receive at least one exercise score from a user, wherein the least one exercise score is associated with the user;

receive at least one further exercise score from a further user, wherein the at least one further exercise score is associated with the further user;

process the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise score to rank the user in relation to the further user, calculate statistics for the user and the further user, and compute progress associated with the at least one exercise score and the at least one further exercise scores; and
