  • Patent number: 11918897
    Abstract: A computing system retrieves historical event data for a plurality of games in a league. The historical event data includes (x,y) coordinates of players within each game and game context data. The computing system learns one or more attributes of each team in each game and each player on each team in each game. The computing system receives a request to simulate a play in a historical game. The request includes substituting a player that was in the play with a target player that was not in the play. The computing system simulates the play with the target player in place of the player based on the one or more attributes learned by the computing system. The computing system generates a graphical representation of the simulation.

  • Patent number: 11922968
    Abstract: A boundary of a highlight of audiovisual content depicting an event is identified. The audiovisual content may be a broadcast, such as a television broadcast of a sporting event. The highlight may be a segment of the audiovisual content deemed to be of particular interest. Audio data for the audiovisual content is stored, and the audio data is automatically analyzed to detect one or more audio events indicative of one or more occurrences to be included in the highlight. Each audio event may be a brief, high-energy audio burst such as the sound made by a tennis serve. A time index within the audiovisual content, before or after the audio event, may be designated as the boundary, which may be the beginning or end of the highlight.
