Abstract

A system for positioning, tracking and streaming progress of participant or player and event in real-time comprises at least one tracking device; tag or Mac address associated with the tracking device; at least one antenna or personal device that detects signal or telemetry information of the tracking device and transmit location information of said tracking device to server(s); plurality of cameras positioned at multiple location relative to route or playing ground focusing on participant or player and operative to stream video of the participant or player and the event; and a server(s) configured to provide real time positioning, tracking and streaming of participant or player and delivering streams for progress of the participant or player and the event in live on web interface configured with custom player.

Claims

1. A system for positioning, tracking and streaming event, comprising:

at least one tracking device;

at least one antenna which detects signal or telemetry information of the tracking device;

plurality of cameras positioned at multiple location relative to route or playing ground focusing on participant or player and operative to stream video of the participant or player and the event;

one or more processors which is in communication with tracking device, antenna and plurality of cameras; and

server(s) configured to provide real-time positioning, tracking and streaming of participant or player and delivering streams for progress of the participant or player and the event in live on web interface configured with custom player.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the tracking device is attached to or wore by a participant or player and also can be attached to or wore by others associated with the event such as but not limited to sponsors, event manager or organizer

3. The system of claim 1, wherein tracking devices locate a signal or telemetry information and progress with change in telemetry information in real time.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the tracking device configured with but not limited to BLE or NFC or RFID or GPS satellite.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the antenna is to monitor or identify meta data of tag or Mac address of BLE or NFC or RFID or GPS satellite associated with the tracking device and transmit location of the tracking device accordingly to a server(s).

6. The system of claim 1, wherein plurality camera configured to capture video of one or more participant or player in real time.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein antenna have telemetry sensors association with tracking device, which is to receive signal or telemetry information and output signal or telemetry information to processor in real time.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the server(s) is/are linked to Social Media or other networking groups in synchronization with the information associated with positioning, tracking and streaming.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the server(s) deliver information associated with positioning, tracking and streaming to custom player for presenting to multiple viewers in form of pre-registration;

including being fans, friends, family members or colleagues or through membership.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor which is in communication with tracking device, antenna and plurality of cameras is operative to coordinate and receive information and transmit the said information to server(s), the information can be selected form position information, speed information or direction information.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the custom player is configured to request for video streams associated with each of the participant or player with reference to progress in real time and configured to operate for switching stream according to the participant or player with tracking device and tracking information.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor which is in communication with tracking device, antenna and plurality of cameras is operative to coordinate and receive information and transmit the said information to server(s), the information can be selected form position information, speed information or direction information.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the server(s) is/are linked to Social Media or other networking groups in synchronization with the information associated with positioning, tracking and streaming.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the custom player is configured to request for video streams associated with each of the participant or player with reference to progress in real time and configured to operate for switching stream according to the participant or player with tracking device and tracking information.

12. A system for positioning, tracking and streaming event, comprising:

at least one tracking device;

a personal device such as mobile phone;

plurality of cameras positioned at multiple location relative to route or playing ground focusing on participant or player and operative to stream video of the participant or player and the event;

one or more processors which is in communication with personal device and plurality of cameras; and

server(s) configured to provide real-time positioning, tracking and streaming of participant or player and delivering streams for progress of the participant or player and the event in live on web interface configured with custom player.

13. The system of claim 13, wherein the personal device uses local tacking local tracking such as but not limited to BLE or NFC or RFID;

or GPS or similar technology such as WPS or WIFI position system for positioning and then transmitting the location information of to cloud or server(s) using the personal device internet connection.

17. A method for positioning, tracking and streaming sports event, the method comprising;

detecting tracking device;

receiving signal or telemetry information of the tracking device;

transmitting location information of the tracking device to the server(s);

requesting video from plurality of cameras positioned at multiple locations relative to route or playing ground;

streaming video in respect with progress of participant or player and event; and

providing real-time positioning, tracking and streaming of participant or player and delivering streams for progress of the participant or player and the event in live on web interface configured with custom player.
