Concept for making goal decisions by means of magnetic fields
First Claim
1. A device for generating a magnetic field within a goal having a bounded goal area which is defined by the goal, and through which a movable object must be brought so as to achieve a goal, the device being configured to generate, within the goal area or in parallel with the goal area, an internal magnetic field larger than an external magnetic field present outside the goal area, the goal further having four demarcations, and the device comprising:
- a first area comprising a ferromagnetic material and being associated with a first demarcation;
a second area comprising a ferromagnetic material and being associated with a second demarcation; and
a third area comprising a ferromagnetic material and being associated with a third demarcation.

Abstract
A method for deciding whether a movable object has been brought through a goal having a goal area defined by the goal, an internal magnetic field being measurable, within the goal area or in parallel with the goal area, which is larger than an external magnetic field present outside the goal area, the method including a step of generating the internal magnetic field within the goal, a step of providing information about a magnetic field experienced by the movable object, and a step of evaluating the information about the magnetic field to provide a goal statement by means of a detection that the movable object has passed through the internal magnetic field.

11. A device for been brought by the goal, determining whether a movable object has through a goal having a goal area defined an internal magnetic field being measurable within the goal area or in parallel with the goal area, the internal magnetic field being larger than an external magnetic field extending outside the goal area, the device comprising:
-
a provider for providing information about a magnetic field experienced by the movable object; and an evaluator for evaluating the information about the magnetic field so as to provide a goal statement, the evaluator being configured to detect that the movable object has passed through the internal magnetic field. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
