Will be done later a renewed warning of the same player, so when entering a second warning a message from the electronic recording system issued that the player has already been warned. Thus, the Referee pointed out that to the player a field reference is to pronounce.

The functionality of the electronic Erfas This system can be extended by recording the current playing time as referee-relevant data.

For this a stopwatch is provided which integrates in the computer unit or is assigned to this.

A further advantageous extension of the functionality of the electronic invention Detection system is achieved by having a data interface for inputting and outputting data.

in this connection are beneficial over the data interface non-contact Data transferable to another unit.

By Use of a data interface can be on contactless Path Transfer data from the electronic acquisition system to a stationary station be, for example, to a secretary table, so in particular to track and control a handball game to a player working there secretary all significant game data is available.

Farther can over the Data interface of external units Data such as image data via cameras fed to the electronic detection system. Such image data can in contentious situations, for example, the question of whether one Goal shot in a handball or football game a ball crossed the goal line has the referee a quick and reliable decision-making aid give.

The The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. It demonstrate:

2 : Arranged on a bracelet electronic detection system according to 1 ,

1 shows a block diagram of an electronic detection system 1 to collect referee-relevant data for a sports competition. The electronic detection system 1 forms a portable unit that can perform a referee during the sports competition, such as a handball or football game with him to enter during sports competition current data regarding the sports competition and save or retrieve.

The electronic detection system 1 includes the computer unit 2 with an integrated storage unit 3 , which preferably has a volatile and non-volatile memory. The computer unit 2 can be formed by a pocket PC or a microprocessor. In the computer unit 2 is still a stopwatch 4 integrated. Alternatively, the stopwatch 4 a separate, to the computer unit 2 form a connected unit.

To the computer unit 2 is a touch screen 5 ie connected to a touch screen or sensor screen. The touch screen 5 has a screen area in a known manner 5a on. Furthermore, a control knob 6 to turn the screen on and off 5a intended.

Finally, to the computer unit 2 a data interface 7 provided, via which a data transmission between the electronic detection system 1 and an external unit. In the present case, the data interface forms 7 an interface for contactless data transmission. In particular, the data interface 7 designed as a Bluetooth interface.

2 shows a preferred construction of the electronic detection system 1 ,

The electronic detection system 1 is on a bracelet 8th arranged and can thus be worn by the referee as a wristwatch during sports competition.

In the computer unit 2 is a software specific to the sport competition. In particular, the software generates input windows that are displayed on the touch screen 5 can be displayed, with a menu guide the referee each call the appropriate input window. In particular, at least one input window may be a keyboard, so that the referee can also input alphanumeric characters.

In particular, the team log of the teams participating in the respective sports competition can be used as referee-relevant data in the electronic recording system 1 be viewed and recorded there. But here is the data interface 7 from the beginning of the sports competition, the team log from an external unit to the electronic recording system 1 are read in and then listed and displayed there so that it is available to the referee during the sports competition. In particular, changes during the sports competition, such as the replacement and replacement of players, in the electronic detection system 1 be recorded.

The referee can by means of the electronic detection system 1 also log the current scores of a sports competition. In a handball or football game, the referee gives the currently scored goals via the touch screen 5 into the electronic detection system 1 one. This can be done on the touch screen 5 For example, a suitable input window will be called, where a menu function allows the entry of the score. Alternatively, an alphanumeric entry is made via the keyboard of the touch screen 5 possible.

The referee may continue to impose penalties which he pronounces against a player during the sports competition in the electronic recording system 1 Enter so that they are stored there. For example, if the referee directs a football match and the referee issues a warning to a player, he may pronounce the pronounced warning in the electronic recording system 1 to log. The players of the teams in the computer unit are advantageous 2 stored and can on the touch screen 5 be called via a menu. The warning is deposited as a clickable option and can by pressing the touch screen 5 be activated and so deposited for the respective player. If the same player is reprimanded later, the referee will be sent the touch screen 5 indicated that it has already been warned. Thus, the referee is notified that the player should be referred from the field, with the field reference as a clickable option on the touch screen 5 is selectable and for the player in the computer unit 2 is deposited as a penalty.

Through the in the computer unit 2 integrated stopwatch 4 the referee can continue to call up the current season at any time.

Finally, the referee can use the touch screen 5 in the electronic recording system 1 integrated data interface 7 Activate to activate a contactless data transfer.

In this case, the referee can use the data interface 7 Data from the electronic detection system 1 send to an external unit. For example, in a handball game, it is common for a secretary to follow and control the game at a secretary's table. The referee may then during the match referee-relevant data via the data interface 7 send to the secretary desk.

Furthermore, the referee may also provide relevant data during the sports competition via the data interface 7 receive. An example of this is the use of the function of an electronic linesman. In a football or handball game, this function involves monitoring the door areas with camera systems. By evaluating the images of the cameras in disputed scenes can be detected whether a ball has exceeded the goal line of the gate or not. The relevant images or the result of the image evaluation may be from an external unit via the data interface 7 to the electronic detection system 1 be shared so that the relevant information is immediately available to the arbitrator to make a decision.
