Abstract: A system for automatically video filming an ongoing sports activity within a field uses an imaging device to continuously capture the entire field and the activities of the players involved in the game, and generate video signals. A position measuring arrangement, including multiple transmitters coupled to the different players, regularly measures the spatial locations of the different players with time, as the game continues, and generates position signals that indicate these spatial positions as functions of time. A data processor is coupled to the imaging device and the position measuring arrangement. The data processor receives the position signals and the video signals, and analyzes the position signals to edit the video signals, and to generate an edited output video content which is delivered to the spectators of the sports activity.

Abstract: A portable computing device for enabling user to view video content of sports activity such as basketball or ice hockey. The computing device is configured to receive video content, video clips, statistics of the game as well as spatial position data of players and position data of for example a ball used in the game as functions of time. Spectators can use the portable computing device to view spatial position of the players and the ball at given time of the game or view spatial position of the players and/or the ball based on set filters by the user. User can for example select to see spatial position of players in at the times when the team scored or according to other statistics. The user/spectator can use the user interface to select an icon of a player to see corresponding video clip of actions in the sports field.
