DE102018000173A1 - Expansion of a system for training ball sports - Google Patents

Abstract

The patent invention extends a ball acceptance / delivery training system (e.g., footbonaut or similar systems) by overlaying video sequences using smart smart projectors into a ball game simulator. This makes the training more realistic and, in addition to ball acceptance and ball delivery, enables further training priorities such as training. Game intelligence, training on positions and tactics, detection of offside traps, pressing and orientation to train the opponent. The patented invention is based on the synchronization of the software of the training system (eg ball issue and registration of the ball return in terms of time and status (right / wrong) with 360 ° video sequences.) Thus, the existing ball training systems are transformed into a ball games simulator, the one Flight simulator, as it is used for pilot training corresponds.

Description

The patent US2010285905 describes a system with which in particular the ball safety (ball acceptance and ball delivery) can be trained. The system is based on one or more baller units and an array of receiving stations into which the ball is to be played. Thus, the ball coordination and speed can be trained in the passing. Such systems consist of a playing field in a rectangular or round box, which form the boundary of the system. In the middle of the box there may be a circle in which the player should move. They are suitable for various sports, such as football, handball, basketball, American football, rugby, ice hockey, hockey.

According to the invention, the invention hereinafter referred to as a simulation box is to be extended from the inventions mentioned under [0001] by using one or more projectors or smart projectors (see http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/intelligenter-). beamer-kintopp-on-the-bluetape-a-313558.html, http://www.dynamicprojection.com/mirror-head-en/) videos are projected on all walls of the simulation box and thus the one or more players to be trained To give the impression of being in a real game. When using smart projectors or similar techniques, there is the advantage that the simulation box does not have to have flat walls on which the scenes can be projected.

For the projection, all open areas of the training system must be designed such that a projection according to [0002] can take place in sufficient quality. For example, you can provide the ball receiving stations with plastic mats, foils, tarpaulins, etc., which give in to the ball when it is played against it, so that the ball on the one hand safely lands in the receptacle and on the other hand, the optimal picture experience is quickly restored. This also applies to the ball playing areas.

The projectors are located in the middle of the simulation box above the game circle. This creates the possibility of simulating the player standing in the center (circle) of the simulation box in each direction a picture with the field and the players, which in addition to ball acceptance and fast and precise ball delivery, the game intelligence, importing to new positions and other tactics and the game system, positional gameplay, etc. can be trained.

The ball issue results from the respective video by a teammate or possibly also a passport of an opponent. The ball can be accepted by the player or passed (one touch) directly to a teammate. The communication necessary for the interaction of the two systems takes place according to the invention by software.

The creation of the 360 ° videos, which are necessary for the patengerechte invention, can over a stationary or mobile camera system (if necessary with gyrostabilization) or suitable software in the field of game manufacturers (eg slightly modified versions of EA Sports Fifa, Pro Evolution Soccer, Tactical Soccer, etc.). By using simulations from the field of game software, the system can simulate in dynamic-plus mode (s.u.) up to almost complete games, so that the position-based game can be specially trained.

Software for revising the 360 ° videos by computer laypersons (e.g., a co-trainer or assistant trainer, etc.) may provide for the 360 ° videos to be snugly placed over the walls of the training system such that e.g. Match the goals accordingly. In particular, it must be possible to ensure that the ball receiving stations and improve a system for training ball sports

Ball dispensers with the video match to create the most realistic situation for the training player.

Communication between 360 ° video simulator and training system takes place in both directions. Both the one and the other system can take the lead in a realization.

360 ° video simulator masters three game modes: stationary, dynamic & dynamic-plus. Here, a stationary mode is one in which only one ball from one of the possible input stations is to be played and played at one or more acceptance stations. In the dynamic mode, the digital players move and the ball pickup and pickup stations vary in time, i. an acceptance station may e.g. be replaced by another station if the video material makes it seem more appropriate to play in the other station. In the dynamic-plus mode, a continuous game scene is shown in which the player gets the ball several times as long as he fits the ball correctly on his virtual teammates and the scene is not over.

As a supplement to the training one or more message buttons can be attached to one or more walls. These serve that if a player plays a bad pass, for example, or was too slow, then he has to make a short sprint to the message button to a new one Activate scene. This trains including pressing and / or defensive behavior.

The areas from which the ball can be ejected can be hidden from the video so as not to endanger the health of the exercising player if he can not recognize the incoming ball well enough due to the video images.

The basic system can be used in its original design (ie without video projection). For the operation with video projection also the software of the basic system is needed; however, the sound signals and lighting effects for the quadrant to be played must then be switched off.

Claims (7)

(Main claim): According to the invention, the system consists of a combination of existing coaches for ball sports (e.g., footbonaut of the company CGoal / Luvago) and a video projection of teammates and opponents. According to the invention, smart projectors can also be used for this, which can project onto uneven and / or color-different subsurfaces. The videos after Claim 1 are either created by a simulation program or taken by a (usually 360 °) camera system that is stationary or mobile. This turns a ball sports trainer into a ball game simulator In the ball game simulator after Claim 1 the ball feed results from the video-traceable way of the ball. For the ball delivery, the player chooses a suitable appearing player. To the after Claim 2 Generated 360 ° videos are edited according to the invention with a content management software to meet the requirements of Claim 3 to meet. The control data is stored either on the basis of its own video format or a tag file, which is then indispensable for every 360 ° video sequence. The inventive synchronization of the hardware and software of the ball game coach with the after Claim 2 generated 360 ° videos and Claim 4 Edited video is made with software that performs a two-way communication. For example, the 360 ° video sequence specifies the time, momentum and location of the ball output, as well as the destination and appropriate time slot, and receives feedback from the ball sport trainer about successful or unsuccessful ball return. According to the invention Claim 1 a stationary, a dynamic or a dynamic-plus mode are selected. In static mode, all players are in the video sequence while running or running in dynamic mode. In the "Dynamic plus" mode, a repeated ball input is made if the input was made correctly and in the given time window. According to the invention, a message button can be attached to at least one of the sides of the simulation box, which the player must press as quickly as possible after a bad pass.
