Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for collecting and displaying sporting event data based on real time data for proximity and movement of objects are disclosed herein. The method includes receiving a plurality of multidimensional player location data per unit time comprising participant locations at calculated times; generating synchronized participant coordinate data by synchronizing the plurality of multidimensional player location per unit time based on timestamps associated with tag location data; and outputting the synchronized participant coordinate data for visualization rendering.

Claims (36)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a plurality of filtered multidimensional player location data per unit time comprising participant locations at calculated times for each participant tag, each participant tag having an ultra-wide band transmitter for providing unsynchronized tag location data;

synchronizing the plurality of multidimensional player location data per unit time based on time stamp data associated with the unsynchronized tag location data;

generating synchronized participant coordinate data for visualization rendering, the synchronized participant coordinate data being indicative of multidimensional player location data per unit time synchronized by the time stamp data;

receiving camera data from one or more cameras, the camera data having camera system coordinates associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data and including at least one participant associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data;

synchronizing the camera data with the synchronized participant coordinate data based on at least one of the time stamp data and the camera system coordinates; and

displaying the visualization on a graphical user interface, wherein the visualization is a video rendering comprising the synchronized participant coordinate data and the camera data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a field event rendering based on the synchronized participant coordinate data.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rendering the visualization at a 30 Hertz refresh rate for television broadcast.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising delaying the rendering the visualization by 2 seconds.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rendering the visualization at 10 Hertz or less refresh rate for digital media rendering.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising delaying the rendering of the visualization by 2 seconds.

7. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

receive a plurality of filtered multidimensional player location data per unit time comprising participant locations at calculated times for each participant tag, each participant tag having an ultra-wide band transmitting for providing unsynchronized tag location data;

synchronize the plurality of multidimensional player location data per unit time based on time stamp data associated with the unsynchronized tag location data;

generate synchronized participant coordinate data for visualization rendering, the synchronized participant coordinate data being indicative of multidimensional player location data per unit time synchronized by the time stamp data;

receive camera data from one or more cameras, the camera data having camera system coordinates associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data and including at least one participant associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data;

synchronize the camera data with the synchronized participant coordinate data based on at least one of the time stamp data and the camera system coordinates; and

displaying the visualization on a graphical user interface, wherein the visualization is a video rendering comprising the synchronized participant coordinate data and the camera data.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to generate a field event rendering based on the synchronized participant coordinate data.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to render the visualization at a 30 Hertz refresh rate for television broadcast.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to delay the rendering the visualization by 2 seconds.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to render the visualization at a 10 Hertz or less refresh rate for digital media rendering.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to delay the rendering the visualization by 2 seconds.

13. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions configured to:

receive a plurality of filtered multidimensional player location data per unit time comprising participant locations at calculated times for each participant tag, each participant tag having an ultra-wide band transmitter for providing unsynchronized tag location data;

synchronize the plurality of multidimensional player location data per unit time based on time stamp data associated with the unsynchronized tag location data;

generate synchronized participant coordinate data for visualization rendering, the synchronized participant coordinate data being indicative of multidimensional player location data per unit time synchronized by the time stamp data;

receive camera data from one or more cameras, the camera data having camera system coordinates associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data and including at least one participant associated with the synchronized participant coordinate data;

synchronize the camera data with the synchronized participant coordinate data based on at least one of the time stamp data and the camera system coordinates; and

displaying the visualization on a graphical user interface, wherein the visualization is a video rendering comprising the synchronized participant coordinate data and the camera data.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable program code portions comprise program code instructions configured to generate a field event rendering based on the synchronized participant coordinate data.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable program code portions comprise program code instructions configured to:

for television broadcast, render the visualization at a 30 Hertz refresh rate; and

for digital media rendering, render the visualization at 10 Hertz or less refresh rate.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable program code portions comprise program code instructions configured to delay the rendering the visualization for 2 seconds.
