Abstract
An athletic performance data system has an athletic field data collection system for obtaining athletic performance data and athlete identifying information for plural athletes at an athletic performance event. An athletic data host server receives the athletic performance test data and athlete identifying information from the athletic field data collection system, and the athletic performance data and athlete identifying information are posted to an athletic performance web site in a separate, personalized page for each of the plural athletes.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an athletic data collection system;
- a first athletic device configured to be worn by a first athlete during athletic motion comprising a first portable computer;
- and
- a second athletic device configured to be worn by a second athlete during athletic motion comprising a second portable computer;
- wherein the athletic data collection system is communicatively coupled with the first and second athletic devices, and comprises a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of the athletic data collection system, perform at least:
- automatically receiving, directly from the athletic devices, athletic performance data of the first athlete and the second athlete performing in a first athletic event, wherein at least a portion of the first athlete's athletic performance data is collected from the first portable computer and at least a portion of the second athlete's athletic performance data is collected from the second portable computer;
- automatically associating athlete identifying information for each the first athlete and the second athlete with the respective athletic performance data;
- and
- in response to receiving the athletic identifying information and the athletic performance data, transmitting electronic signals comprising instructions configured to automatically generate a personalized athletic performance web site for each of the first athlete and the second athlete, the web sites each comprising:
- an identifying section configured to display at least a portion of the identifying information of the respective athlete;
- and
- a performance test result section configured to display performance test data received from the first athletic event;
- wherein integrity of the personalized athletic performance web site is improved due to the athletic data collection system directly, without any manual handling, receiving athletic performance data collected by athletic devices of the first and the second athletes.
A computerized method that improves integrity of athleticism ratings of athletes comprising:
- automatically wirelessly receiving, from a portable computer located in a first athletic device of a first athlete, directly at an athletic data collection system, first athletic performance data collected by the first athletic device, collected from the first athlete's performance in an athletic event;
- automatically wirelessly receiving, from a second athletic device of a second athlete, directly at the athletic data collection system, second athletic performance data collected by the second athletic device of the second athlete collected from the second athlete's performance in the same athletic event;
- in response to receiving athletic identifying information of each the first and the second and the athletic performance data, automatically generating, by the athletic data collection system, a personalized athletic performance web site for each of the first athlete and the second athlete, the web sites each comprising:
- an identifying section configured to display at least a portion of the identifying information of the respective athlete;
- a performance test result section configured to display performance test data received at the athletic data collection system;
- and
- an automatically calculated athleticism rating based on at least a portion of the received athletic performance data;
- wherein the integrity of the automatically calculated athleticism rating is improved due to the athletic data collection system directly, without any manual handling, receiving athletic performance data collected by athletic devices of athletes.
