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

Abstract
Systems and methods for collecting sports data include 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 the 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 the sports object; and broadcasting, from one or more telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on the sports object or on the at least one sports participant, signals carrying the data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the sports object or signals carrying the data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the at least one sports participant. In one embodiment, predictive action cameras are controlled to aim at an anticipated or predicted position of a sports participant or sports object.
