SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INTEGRATING PARTICIPANT BIOMETRICS WITHIN AN EVENT TIMING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for reporting biometric data from a participant in an event comprising:
- a sensor positioned proximate to a body of the participant for sensing a measured biometric parameter of the participant, the sensor including an interface transmitting the sensed measured biometric parameter;
an RFID tag associated with the participant and positioned proximate to the body of the participant, the RFID tag having a biometric data communication interface and a tag reader communication interface, the tag reader communication interface transmitting a tag identifier to a remote tag reader responsive to a tag read request therefrom; and
a biometric data module communicatively coupled to the sensor receiving the transmitted measured biometric parameter, having a memory storing the received measured biometric parameter, and having an output interface communicatively coupled to the biometric data communication interface of the RFID tag, the biometric data module transmitting the measured biometric parameter over the output interface;
wherein the RFID tag receives the transmitted measured biometric message parameter and transmits the received measured biometric parameter to the RFID tag reader along with the tag identifier responsive to the tag read request from the tag reader.

Abstract
A system and method for collecting biometric data from a participant in an event including a sensor positioned on the participant for sensing a current biometric factor of the participant, the sensor including an interface for communicating the sensed current value of the biometric factor, a biometric data collector communicatively coupled to the sensor for receiving the current sensed biometric factor value as biometric data and further communicatively coupled to an RFID tag, and the RFID tag receive the biometric data from the collector and transmitting the received biometric data to an RFID tag reader responsive to a tag read from the tag reader. The system and method can also include the RFID tag reader and the timing system support for the biometric data communication, analysis and reporting.
