US 10,707,908 B2 · Method, apparatus, and computer program product for evaluating performance based on real-time data for proximity and movement of objects

Abstract

An example disclosed method for determining player performance information associated with a player carrying a first tag moving about a monitored area includes receiving first blink data from a plurality of receivers disposed about the monitored area, wherein the first blink data is generated by the first tag carried by the player moving about the monitored area; weighting the first blink data by: when the player is in a pre-play formation, assigning a first weight to the first blink data; and in response to receiving the play-start indication, assigning a second weight to the first blink data, the second weight being greater than the first weight; determining tag location data based on the weighted first blink data; and determining player performance information based on the tag location data.

A method for determining player performance information associated with a player carrying a first tag moving about a monitored area, the method comprising:

receiving first blink data from a plurality of receivers disposed about the monitored area, wherein the first blink data is generated by the first tag carried by the player moving about the monitored area;
weighting first tag-derived data associated with the first tag by:
when the player is in a pre-play formation, assigning a first weight to the first tag-derived data;
and
in response to a play-start indication, assigning a second weight to the first tag-derived data, the second weight being greater than the first weight;
and
determining player performance information based on the weighted first tag-derived data.

4 more elements

A system for determining player performance information associated with a player moving about a monitored area, the system comprising:

a first tag carried by the player;
a plurality of receivers disposed about the monitored area;
and
an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program instructions, the at least one memory and the computer program instructions configured to, in cooperation with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive first blink data from the plurality of receivers, wherein the first blink data is generated by the first tag;
weight first tag-derived data associated with the first tag by:
when the player is in a pre-play formation, assigning a first weight to the first tag-derived data;
and
in response to a play-start indication, assigning a second weight to the first tag-derived data, the second weight being greater than the first weight;
and
determine player performance information based on the weighted first tag-derived data.
