Abstract
A system for monitoring and recording and processing an activity includes one or more cameras for automatically recording video of the activity. A remote media system is located at the location of the activity. A network media processor and services is communicatively coupled with the remote media system. The remote media system includes one or more AI enabled cameras. The AI enabled camera is configured to record the activity. The network media processor is configured to receive an activation request of the AI enabled camera and the validate the record request. The system may automatically administer a skill-based competition.
Claims20
A system for operating a performance-based competition, the system comprising:
- a remote media system (RMS) located at a golf course having a golf hole, wherein the RMS includes:
- a first AI enabled camera configured to record a video of golfers detected at the golf hole;
- and
- a competition-based network media processor and services (CNMS) communicatively coupled to the RMS and located remote to the RMS, the CNMS including:
- a network communication interface configured to initiate a record event request including the input to activate the video recording, the record event request communicated to the RMS;
- and
- a network media processor configured to receive an activation request of the AI enabled camera and to validate the record request;
- an AI logic installed on the AI enabled camera or at the CNMS configured to detect a specific object or objects in the video of the golfers and extract segments of the video associated with each one of the golfers and combine the segments into separate composite videos for each of the golfers;
- and
- a digital media enabled destination including a mobile application configured to send the session request to the CNMS to activate the video recording, wherein the request includes a unique identifier of the digital media enabled destination, a location of the golf hole, and a user profile identifier;
- wherein the CNMS is configured to receive an input from a user indicating an agreement to participate in a competition;
- wherein the CNMS is further configured to detect a successful attempt related to the competition.

A method for automatically administering a skill-based competition, the method comprising:
- detecting a presence of golfers at a golf hole on a golf course;
- receiving an activation request at a competition-based network media processor and service (CNMS) in response to the detected presence, the activation request including a user profile identifier of the golfers;
- validating the golfers using the user profile identifier and the location of the golf hole;
- sending an activation request and activating a recording of the golfers and the competition using an AI enabled camera at the golf hole;
- detecting a specific object or objects in the recording of the golfers and extracting segments of the video associated with each one of the golfers and combine the segments into separate composite videos for each of the golfers using an AI logic installed on the AI enabled camera or at the CNMS;
- and
- detecting an occurrence of a winning event in the competition.
4 more elements
An AI enabled golf course comprising:
- a first golf hole having a green, a tee box, and a hole with a flagstick positioned within the hole;
- and
- a remote media system (RMS) located at a golf course having a golf hole, wherein the RMS includes:
- a first AI enabled camera configured to record a video of golfers detected at the golf hole;
- and
- wherein the RMS is in communication with a competition-based network media processor and services (CNMS) communicatively coupled to the RMS and located remote to the RMS, the CNMS including:
- a network communication interface configured to initiate a record event request including the input to activate the video recording, the record event request communicated to the RMS;
- and
- a network media processor configured to receive an activation request of the AI enabled camera and to validate the record request;
- an AI logic installed on the AI enabled camera or at the CNMS configured to detect a specific object or objects in the video of the golfers and extract segments of the video associated with each one of the golfers individually and combine the segments into separate composite videos for each of the golfers;
- and
- a digital media enabled destination including a mobile application configured to send the session request to the CNMS to activate the video recording, wherein the request includes a unique identifier of the digital media enabled destination, a location of the golf hole, and a user profile identifier;
- wherein the CNMS is configured to receive an input from a user indicating an agreement to participate in a competition;
- wherein the CNMS is further configured to detect a successful attempt related to the competition.
