Abstract
An activity timing and scoring system disclosed herein is based on a tightly timed/synchronized data structure that allows for concurrent and accurate collection and distribution of scoring and timing data. The techniques described herein use a precision clock communicated to participating end points using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and/or other known or unique time correction algorithms to make one or more system clocks more uniform and to relate one or more game times with a global time.
Claims1
A timing system controller, comprising:
- a processor;
- computer-readable memory, that stores a data store having multiple records, each record having at least an event description field, an event time field, and a real time field;
- a clock that defines event time;
- input means to receive event metadata related to an event, the event metadata including at least an event description and an event time;
- a synchronization module configured to derive a real time that corresponds to the event time;
- storing means for storing:
- the event description in the event description field of a data store record;
- the event time in the event time field of the data store record;
- the real time in the real time field of the data store record.
