US 9,002,485 B2 · Method, apparatus, and computer program product for performance analytics determining play models and outputting events based on real-time data for proximity and movement of objects

Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for providing analytics using real time data on movement and proximity of tagged objects for determining play models and outputting events. In one embodiment, a method is provided for determining play data that at least includes correlating at least one tag to a participant; receiving blink data transmitted by the at least one tag; and determining tag location data based on the blink data. The method further includes receiving participant role data; comparing the tag location data to participant dynamics/kinetics models based at least in part on the participant role data; determining participant location data based on the comparing the tag location data to the participant dynamics/kinetics models. The method further includes receiving field data; comparing the participant location data to formation models based at least in part on the participant role data and the field data; and determining formation data based on the comparing the participant location data to the formation models. The method further includes comparing the formation data and participant location data to play models; and determining play data based on the comparing the formation data and participant location data to the play models.
