Abstract: Systems and methods for video presentation and analytics for a sporting event are disclosed. In one embodiment, the sporting event is an auto racing event. A server platform is provided to collect and analyze real-time raw data and historical raw data, and compare drivers/vehicles from a current auto racing event and/or a historical auto racing event. The server platform is operable to overlay a ghost driver/vehicle on the images of a driver/vehicle in the current auto racing event based on the comparison. The server platform also provides a GUI for displaying the current auto racing event with enhanced features.

Abstract: Methods, systems, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and computer-readable media for presenting GUI elements generated based on information associated with an event are generally described. An event information presentation system may be configured to present GUI elements generated based on substantially real-time event information associated with a live event, such as a sporting event. Illustrative event information may include object movement and location information for objects such as event participants (for instance, players) and articles (for instance, a football for a football game event). The event information may be interpreted based on activity categories to automatically differentiate, organize, highlight, or the like the event information in order to generate relevant and meaningful GUI elements.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for data analytics for a sports activity are disclosed. A multiplicity of sensors tracks a multiplicity of world objects related to the sports activity, collects and communicates tracking data to a server platform in real time or near real time. The server platform integrates the tracking data from the multiplicity of sensors and scoring data for the sports activity, and correlates the tracking data and the scoring data with a corresponding UTC timecode based on rules related to the sports activity, thereby creating a multiplicity of UTC-coded data sets. The server platform synchronizes the multiplicity of UTC-coded data sets, thereby creating a time-synchronized data set. The server platform provides analytics based on the time-synchronized data set, thereby creating analyzed data. The multiplicity of user devices displays the analyzed data based on at least one application program.

Abstract: A hockey puck is disclosed including an internal signal transmitter enabling instantaneous identification of its position as it moves around. The puck includes two molded subcomponents, which encapsulate the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter includes driver electronics and a number of signal transmitters which together generate and emit an electromagnetic signal. The electromagnetic signal is emitted by a plurality of diodes mounted in light pipes enclosed within cavities in the subcomponents that extend to outer surfaces of the hockey puck components. The puck includes two subcomponents that are attached via complimentary sets of concentrically arranged wedges.

Abstract: Systems and methods for video presentation and analytics for live sporting events are disclosed. At least two cameras are used for tracking objects during a live sporting event and generate video feeds to a server processor. The server processor is operable to match the video feeds and create a 3D model of the world based on the video feeds from the at least two cameras. 2D graphics are created from different perspectives based on the 3D model. Statistical data and analytical data related to object movement are produced and displayed on the 2D graphics. The present invention also provides a standard file format for object movement in space over a timeline across multiple sports.

Abstract: Systems and methods for graphical data presentation during a sporting event broadcast are disclosed. A server platform is constructed and configured in network communication with at least one input device and at least one display device. The at least one input device transmits input data with time code related to the sporting event to the server platform in real time or near real time. The server platform processes the input data according to a production sequencing of the sporting event, thereby creating processed data. The server platform creates and integrates the processed data with a video presentation of the sporting event based on the production sequencing of the sporting event. The at least one display device displays a customized graphical presentation of the processed data with the video presentation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a sports ball assembly in real time during a sporting event are disclosed. A structure of the sports ball assembly is also disclosed. The sports ball assembly comprises at least one electronic circuit embedded or attached to a sports ball. The sports ball assembly is in network communication with a processor via at least two receivers within a sports arena.

Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for automated detection and visualization of offside positions. In soccer, offside is determined by the position of a player relative to the position of players on the opposing team and/or the soccer ball. The present invention provides systems and methods for tracking the location of players on a soccer field and for determining whether a player is in an offside position. The present invention further includes an imaging system for tracking the location of a boundary object that determines where offside positions begin. The system is then operable to enhance image and video data using the data collected during detection of offside positions.
