Abstract
A smart soccer goal for tracking and communicating motion of objects includes a goal frame; a net coupled to the goal frame including a plurality of lights; and one or more sensors coupled to the goal frame. A first sensor of the one or more sensors is directed to detecting movement within and immediately near the smart soccer goal and a second sensor of the one or more sensors is directed to detecting movement outside of the smart soccer goal.
Claims14
A smart soccer goal for tracking and communicating motion of objects, the smart soccer goal comprising:
- a goal frame;
- a net coupled to the goal frame, the net including a plurality of lights;
- one or more sensors coupled to the goal frame;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the one or more sensors and the plurality of lights, wherein the one or more processors:
- transmit a first control signal to the plurality of lights that causes a first subset of the plurality of lights to light up;
- receive a signal from any of the one or more sensors based on a detected movement of an object;
- determine a trajectory and location of the object based on the signal;
- determine the object contacted the first subset of the plurality of lights based on the trajectory and location;
- and
- responsive to the determination that the object contacted at least a portion of the first subset of the plurality of lights, transmit a second control signal to the plurality of lights that causes a second subset of the plurality of light to light up indicating the object contacted the first subset of the plurality of lights.
A smart soccer goal for tracking and communicating motion of objects, the smart soccer goal comprising:
- a goal frame;
- a net coupled to the goal frame, the net including a plurality of lights;
- one or more sensors coupled to the goal frame;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the one or more sensors and the plurality of lights, wherein the one or more processors:
- transmit a first control signal to the plurality of lights that causes a first subset of the plurality of lights to light up;
- receive a signal from any of the one or more sensors based on a detected movement of an object;
- determine a trajectory, location, and speed of the object based on the signal;
- determine the object contacted at least a portion of the first subset of the plurality of lights based on the trajectory and the location;
- and
- responsive to the determination that the object contacted the first subset of the plurality of lights, transmit (1) a second control signal to the plurality of lights that causes a second subset of the plurality of lights to light up indicating the object contacted the first subset of the plurality of lights, and (2) a third control signal to the plurality of lights that causes a third subset of the plurality of lights to light up indicating the determined speed of the object.
