Abstract
A simulation system is proposed that makes use of historical and live data sensed for one or more objects (e.g., people, cars, balls, rackets, etc.). An event will include one or more decision points. A choice of an action to take at a decision point is made. That chosen action will be simulated based on the historical and live data. The simulation can be compared to the actual action taken in the event as a way to judge the choice. Although the choice of action to take at the decision point is simulated, the real event is not altered by the choice.
Claims31
A method for performing a simulation, comprising:
- accessing data from sensors used to track information about one or more moving objects during an event;
- receiving a choice of an action for at least a subset of the one or more moving objects during the event;
- and
- simulating the chosen action being carried out by at least the subset of the one or more moving objects during the event using the data from the sensors.
An apparatus for performing a simulation, comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory and communication interface, the processor accesses data from sensors used to track information about one or more moving objects during an event, receives a choice of an action for at least a subset of the one or more moving objects during the event and simulates the chosen action being carried out by at least the subset of the one or more moving objects during the event using the data from the sensors.
A method for performing a simulation, comprising:
- accessing a log of occurrences that happen at an event;
- receiving a choice of an action for at least a subset of the one or more moving objects during the event;
- and
- simulating the chosen operation being carried out by at least the subset of the one or more moving objects during the event using the log of occurrences.
A method for performing a simulation, comprising:
- accessing data from sensors used to track information about one or more moving objects during an event;
- and
- simulating an alternative action of a particular object of the one or more moving objects during a particular time period of the event using the data from the sensors, the alternative action does not actually occur for the particular object during the particular time period of the event.
