Sports telemetry system for collecting performance metrics and data
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for collecting sports data comprising the steps of:
- measuring, at one or more sensor modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on at least one sports participant, data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of said at least one sports participant;
broadcasting, from one or more telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on said at least one sports participant, signals carrying said data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of said at least one sports participant;
measuring, at one or more sensor modules mounted, affixed, or embedded in a sports object, data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of said sports object;
broadcasting, from one or more telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on said sports object, signals carrying said data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of said sports object;
receiving said signals from said telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on the at least one sports participant and the telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on the sports object; and
processing the received signals to calculate position information or movement information of a sports object or a sports participant in relation to a playing surface of a sports event.
