Systems and methods for integrated automated sports data collection and analytics platform
Systems, methods, and apparatus for data analytics for a sports activity are disclosed. A multiplicity of sensors tracks a multiplicity of world objects related to the sports activity, collects and communicates tracking data to a server platform in real time or near real time. The server platform integrates the tracking data from the multiplicity of sensors and scoring data for the sports activity, and correlates the tracking data and the scoring data with a corresponding UTC timecode based on rules related to the sports activity, thereby creating a multiplicity of UTC-coded data sets. The server platform synchronizes the multiplicity of UTC-coded data sets, thereby creating a time-synchronized data set. The server platform provides analytics based on the time-synchronized data set, thereby creating analyzed data. The multiplicity of user devices displays the analyzed data based on at least one application program.

wherein the at least one server platform is operable to receive and integrate the sports data related to the sports activity from the multiplicity of sensor devices in real time or near real time;
wherein the at least one server platform is operable to automatically correlate the sports data with a corresponding timecode, thereby creating a multiplicity of timecoded data sets; and
wherein the at least one server platform is operable to synchronize the multiplicity of timecoded data sets in real time or near real time, thereby creating a time-synchronized data set; and
wherein the at least one server platform is operable to synchronize and process the sports data along a timeline.
