PERFORMANCE MONITORING IN A SHOOTING SPORT USING SENSOR SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. A shooting sport measurement system, comprising:
- a first sensor to detect an attempted shot taken by one or more participants;
a second sensor to detect a successful shot by one or more participants; and
a console communicatively coupled with the first sensor and the second sensor to determine performance of the one or more participants based at least in part on the attempted shot and the successful shot; and
wherein the first sensor includes a sensor adapted to detect vibration and the second sensor includes a sensor adapted to detect an object passing a target.

Abstract
Embodiments provide mechanisms and methods for measuring shooting performance in multiplayer environments. These mechanisms and methods include advanced sensor technology that enables a portable console to determine player performance by monitoring actions of the player and activity at the basket using sensors associated with one or more players and a basket. The ability to determine player performance by monitoring actions of the player and activity at the basket makes it possible for coaches and players to measure levels of play, build teamwork among multiple players, improve and maintain skills, select players to meet game situations and team requirements, make decisions on player roles, and use playing environment space more efficiently.

18. A computer based method for measuring shooting sports performance, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
-
determining whether a shot is attempted; determining whether an attempted shot is successful; determining a location of a participant taking the attempted shot; receiving information about the participant; and determining performance of the participant based on the determining steps.

19. A shooting sports measurement system, comprising:
-
a sensor to determine an attempted shot, a sensor to determine a successful shot, a detection mechanism that detects a position of a player when the attempted shot is determined; a console, the console communicatively coupled with the sensors and the detection mechanism to receive data and determine performance of the player; and wherein the sensor to determine an attempted shot includes at least one sensor disposed to sense vibration and the sensor to determine a successful shot includes at least one sensor to sense a ball passing through a target, thereby enabling the console to determine player performance by monitoring at least one of actions of the player and activity at the target. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
