SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PENALTIES
First Claim
1. A penalty allocation system, comprising:
- a first equipment configured to be worn by a first player, the first equipment including a signal-carrying material configured to carry a signal;
a second equipment configured to be worn by a second player, the second equipment including a sensor configured to acquire signal data from the signal in response to the sensor of the second equipment directly engaging the signal-carrying material during an impact between the first equipment and the second equipment; and
a processing circuit configured to determine at least one of a penalty and a reward for a recipient regarding the impact between the first player and the second player based on the signal data, wherein the recipient includes at least one of the first player and the second player.

Abstract
A penalty allocation system includes a first equipment, a second equipment, and a processing circuit. The first equipment is configured to be worn by a first player. The first equipment includes a signal-carrying material configured to carry a signal. The second equipment is configured to be worn by a second player. The second equipment includes a sensor configured to acquire signal data from the signal in response to the sensor of the second equipment directly engaging the signal-carrying material during an impact between the first equipment and the second equipment. The processing circuit is configured to determine at least one of a penalty and a reward for a recipient regarding the impact between the first player and the second player based on the signal data. The recipient includes at least one of the first player and the second player.

16. A method for allocating a penalty, comprising:
-
passing a signal through a signal-carrying material of a first equipment configured to be worn by a first player; acquiring, with a sensor of a second equipment configured to be worn by a second player, signal data from the signal in response to the sensor of the second equipment directly engaging the signal-carrying material during an impact between the first equipment and the second equipment; identifying, by a processing circuit, an at-fault player from the impact between the first player and the second player based on the signal data; and determining, by the processing circuit, a penalty for the at-fault player based on the signal data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for allocating a penalty, comprising:
-
receiving, by a processing circuit, first data from a first player-worn sensor regarding a first player involved in an impact with a second player; receiving, by the processing circuit, second data from a second player-worn sensor regarding the second player involved in the impact with the first player; determining, by the processing circuit, the first player and the second player are on opposing teams based on the first data and the second data; identifying, by the processing circuit, one of the first player and the second player as an at-fault player in connection with the impact directly between the first player and the second player based on the first data and the second data in response to determining the first player and the second player are on opposing teams; and determining, by the processing circuit, a penalty for the at-fault player based on the first data and the second data.

28. A method for allocating a penalty, comprising:
-
acquiring, by one or more local sensors of a sensor system positioned on one or more players, local data regarding an impact between a first player and a second player; acquiring, by an external sensor of the sensor system positioned remote from the first player, the second player, and the impact, external data regarding the impact; receiving, by a processing circuit, the local data and the external data, at least one of the local data and the external data including an indication of a location of the impact on a body of at least one of the first player and the second player; identifying, by the processing circuit, one of the first player and the second player as an at-fault player in connection with the impact based on at least one of the local data and the external data; and determining, by the processing circuit, a penalty for the at-fault player based on at least one of the local data and the external data.
