However, it would be very interesting to anticipate a game that starts now with high probability and the same time series as the actual game, and to prepare and watch the viewer's (fan) 's own prediction and the actual game.

Suppose, for example, that Japanese professional baseball is being broadcast, and the pitcher of a favorite team is in a so-called `` run point crisis. '' Of course, the viewers think that the best pitcher here in the United States, "Randy Johnson, would be nice." The same is true for soccer and golf, and it's no wonder that viewers want to be able to invite a good player to their favorite team.

Also, how delightful it would be if the viewers themselves become directors during the actual play and can freely control the other great pro players.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a system and method using real-time sports data that can predict the actual game disclosed from now on and how the game proceeds and what outcome will be predicted with high probability in advance. It is.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a system and method using real-time sports data that allows other players who do not belong to the team, for example, to participate during the actual game progress.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a system and method using real-time sports data that can be directed by a leader, such as the director of the actual game, and to create an explosive interest to viewers.

As such, the object of the present invention is to have gameplay by engaging the viewers themselves in a game that is actually being made or is going to proceed.

If there is no need, the data is automatically erased or the existing data can be accumulated in the terminal.

In addition, the graphic image is a still image in addition to the dynamic image, or the actual broadcast image and the graphic image does not overlap each other in the same display, it is also one of the features to be displayed on two or more screens.

(Example)

First, in the description of the embodiment of the present invention, the basic system will be described with reference to FIG.

1 exemplifies a baseball case, and reference numeral 1 is ground. Reference numeral 2 is a normal situation broadcasting camera which transmits video and audio to the viewer Y (here, via the receiver 4 to the PC 3) using a normal communication line.

In Fig. 2, reference numeral 5 denotes a system for collecting real-time data of the present invention, in which the present inventors use a part of the invention proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 7-171280 (corresponding U.S. Patent No. 5769713). .

That is, the present invention, as shown in the block diagram in FIG. 2, denotes a monitor display of a computer, and reference numeral B denotes a personal computer (personal computer) as a storage device for storing, controlling and processing information input from the monitor display. )to be.

Reference numeral C denotes a touch pen, and the touch pen C may be acted on the PC B or directly on the monitor display A via the touch pen board D as shown. .

Reference numeral E denotes a real-time server that transmits the video signal from the personal computer B using a normal communication line.

3 is a flowchart showing the action of one embodiment of the first action, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the action of the one embodiment of the second action, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the action of an embodiment of the third action.

Fig. 6 is an initial screen I showing an example of the layout of the monitor display A for inputting baseball data, and reference numeral 11 is a diamond figure drawn at the left center thereof. Reference numeral 12 is a figure of the strike zone shown in the upper left, reference numeral 13 is a scoreboard figure shown above the diamond figure 11, and reference numeral 14 denotes a diamond figure 11 and a strike zone figure 12. It is a count figure which shows the strike, the ball, or the out count displayed in between, and below it is the character display 17 of the batter result which displays the result of various types of batters.

In addition, in the lower left of the monitor display A, 0 to 9 for inputting the pitch character display 15 of the ball pitched by the pitcher, the character display 18 of the strike and the ball, and the pitch of the ball pitched by the pitcher There is a numeric display of.

Next, the actual input means will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the data input of the baseball according to the embodiment of the present invention sits in front of the monitor display A with the touch pen C while watching an actual baseball field or a normal television.

The pitcher has a ball as indicated by O on the diamond figure 11 in FIG. The numbers in the rectangle may be displayed in accordance with the numbers of real numbers on the defending side except for those on the home base. Moreover, on the home base, the same display as that of the batter is shown, and the batter's back number is displayed on the first, second, and third bases, respectively.

Here, when the pitcher threw the first ball, the batter then marked the position of the so-called "just flown" ball with the touch pen (C) on the strike zone figure 12, and the type of the ball was "fastball". The back side of the ball type character display 15 is clicked on the "fastball" character. As a result, the strike zone figure 12 displays the position where the ball is thrown and "1" indicating that it is a fastball and a first ball. At the same time, by clicking on the "strike" character of the strike and the character display 18 of the ball, Strike "S" is displayed among the strike, ball, and out indications 14.

By repeating this input, the batter hit three hits after "two three" as shown in FIG. At that time, a straight line is drawn from the home base to the position where the pitch is blown by the inputter clicking on the position where the pitch is blown on the diamond figure 11, and as shown, the relay is relayed from the position of the right fielder through the second base to the third base. By entering the state, a straight line connecting each is drawn. As a result, as shown in Fig. 8, the runner hitting the ball (the other runner), that is, the runner's bib number (44 in this example) is positioned on the base of the third base.

9 and 10 show that the next batter (indicated by O on the home base) is struck after "two to two" with the runner at third base. At this time, three strikes &quot; S &quot;

FIG. 11 shows that the next batter (indicated by reference numeral 55 on the home base) has entered after the one-out, and FIG. 12 shows that the pitcher is hit by the ground ball in the middle of the right hand. At this time, the runners coming in at third base are indicated by the number 44 on the home base. The pitching process at this time is displayed by displaying the defensive position numerically in the relay order column recorded on the lower right of the screen. In addition, in FIG. 12, it is represented by 9-3-2, and this case shows that it was relayed by right-wing-1 baseman- catcher.

In the figure, one point is recorded in the first attack of the scoreboard, showing that the runner (marked 44 on the home base) is placed on the first base with a timely hit number 55 player.

In the baseball field where the above operation is performed, the pitcher and the batter's every move and the result input are all executed until the game is completed to obtain data.

The above description is based on the current game played in FIG. 1 by the inputter in the infield seat or the outfield seat of the ground, and is input by the input 1 and the input 2 of the drawing. This is in most cases entered by two or more people to improve the accuracy of the input, which is then combined to ensure accurate data.

The data input in this way is accumulated in the real-time server E through a normal communication line. In particular, in this case, since the data of the currently played game is accumulated, it is accumulated in the real-time server E. However, at least a long time ago, a large number of historical data is stored in the archive data server F in FIG. Will accumulate.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral G denotes a graphic data server. Here, in the case of professional baseball, figures graphicizing the body shapes of all players of the professional baseball are stored as data in advance, and appropriate figures are drawn by the viewer's operation. The program is organized.

As one embodiment in which the present invention is of interest to the viewer, it is possible to anticipate the result of the game as the actual game is played before the game is actually played when the game and the members of the baseball game are announced.

That is, the data of the competitive team and the power supply is called from the archive data server F in which the archive data is stored, and the player is duplicated with the graphic player stored in the server G of the graphic data as necessary.

In this way, the competition between the two teams is started. In this case, a program is played on the viewer's PC 3 to advance the baseball in accordance with the input conditions.

Therefore, when the viewer clicks the play ball of the initial menu (not shown), the video as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed in most cases. Here, if the pitcher (a) of the game has played the batter (b) who is the matcher in the past several times, the data gathering the past competitive records is transmitted from the archive data server (F), and the batter (b). ) Can be predicted in advance, as the result is that the fastball on the side of the body and the occasional home run are automatically completed until the game ends.

In this case, the expected data of the game is stored by appropriate means, and the video 20 of the expected data is displayed in parallel with the video 21 where the actual broadcast is made as shown in FIG. If you proceed at the same time, you can enjoy the watching of baseball broadcasts, which is simply watching the progress of the game.

(Example 2)

The team that the viewers are supporting now is losing 1 point, and it is a scene where the second batter hits a two-out full base to win the goodbye. Here, it is natural that ordinary viewers would like to have "Semi-Sosa", the world's leading home run hitter, for the "supporting" team.

Therefore, the graphic image identical to the graphic server G is assigned to be called the same data as the archive data server F, and the semi-saso player J graphicized as shown in FIG. 15 appears in the plate.

In this case, the actual broadcast is performed on the video of the PC 3 of the viewer Y, and the batter H of the actual broadcast may also appear at the same time.

Thus, in the actual broadcast, the batter (H) struck the lower forkball slightly to the side and struck out and set the game. The ball of the pitcher K thus struck is inputted by the inputter at the moment of throwing it and accumulated in the real-time data server E through the communication line. Therefore, the ball thrown from the pitcher for the semi-sosa player J becomes somewhat slower than the ball thrown from the actual broadcast.

Here, the semi-sosa player J who specializes in a slightly lower fork ball on the side of the body hits the ball, for example, a full base home run by the data of the ball accumulated as the archive data of the archive data server F.

Therefore, the actual hitter H is struck out, but after a while, the team that the viewer is rooting for as he thought was right after the semi-sosa player hit a home run. It is to win and is to be able to solve viewer dissatisfaction.

In this way, when the game gets tired during the actual broadcast, it is also possible to replace all the players and to drive the game program on the PC 3. In this case, if the viewer himself is the director of the game and freely enters a player of another team, and if possible, enters the data of Hiro, a famous baseball animation in Japan, on the server F that has accumulated the archive data, the actual professional baseball You can see the battle between the players and Hiro in the anime world.

(Example 3)

As mentioned above, although the Example corresponding to baseball was described, the application range of this invention is very wide. For example, individual sports such as golf, fencing, tennis, table tennis, or group sports such as baseball, soccer, basketball, or martial arts such as sumo, wrestling, judo, and boxing, or surfing, skiing, skating, In particular, it may be a sport coexisting with nature, such as swimming, or a sport with an object represented by fishing or hunting, or a hobby or entertainment such as Go, chess, shogi, dance, billiards, or the like.

That is, although not explained in detail, in the actual broadcasting of the American football shown in FIG. 16, the player who has hit the same number is watched to the end and replaced with a famous player previously stored in another archive data server (F). It is also possible to graphicize on the server G with graphic data and display it as shown in FIG. 17, and to play against the actual broadcasting team of FIG.

19 to 20, the actual broadcast was shot in the soccer game as shown in Fig. 20 from the dribble state of Fig. 19 to score. Therefore, the viewer cheering for the opponent can call up the world-famous defender L from the archive data of the archive data server F as shown in FIG.

Similarly, FIG. 22 shows an actual broadcast video of ice hockey and a graphic virtualized image side by side on the same display. In the actual broadcast, the shot of his player M was blocked by the opponent's keeper N. As the viewer sees, the players of both teams are graphicized as shown on the left side of the display on the drawing, and a strong player is placed on his side and the player P passes from the player O to the player P so that the player P of the opponent keeps his opponent N. It is possible to try without being blocked by the game, and to play a game as the viewer thinks below, it is possible to obtain a great interest and satisfaction.

Fig. 23 shows a basketball in which &quot; long arm &quot; Here, when the sponsoring team is too hopeless, in the end, the "long arm" player can be displayed to concentrate the ball on this person so that the score can be surely solved so as to resolve the viewer's dissatisfaction.

Figure 24 is a sumo match between Yokozu and the `` Musashimaru '' who are creasing now, and last year's famous player "Tanikaze." It is possible to compete with the strongest horse, TEM OPERAO, by ordering the famous horse, Haisei-ko, and to be able to rejoice alone because the voting ticket is won with high dividend. In addition, as shown in Fig. 26, the game of "Go Knight" in the Edo period and the viewer himself or the present famous article can be played.

As described above, the present invention is to participate in sports and game competitions that are actually or will be made, to compete against the best players of the past and present in the competition, or to play the actual games according to the free ideas of the viewers. By developing it, it has the effect of attracting great interest to viewers.
