Das Prinzip der Erfindung beruht darauf, daß die Sportgeräte mindestens einen Sender, eine im bzw. am Sportgerät angeordnete Sendeantenne sowie eine Stromversorgungseinrichtung aufweisen. Von dem Sender werden über die Antenne Signale ausgesendet, welche von Empfängern empfangen und zur Positionsbestimmung in einer nachgeordneten elektronischen Verarbeitungseinrichtung weiterverarbeitet werden. Die jeweiligen Positionsdaten werden als zusätzliche Informationen medientechnisch übertragen und für den Zuschauer wahrnehmbar dargestellt. Die Darstellung der Positionsdaten erfolgt zeitverzögert und/oder mit einer Haltezeit in der Art, daß sich für den Zuschauer auf dem Fernsehbildschirm bzw. auf den Videobildschirmen im Stadion eine die Bewegung, also den zurückgelegten Weg des Sportgerätes darstellende Linie in Gestalt einer verlöschenden Leuchtspur ergibt. Diese verlöschende Leuchtspur kann selbstverständlich auch bei der Zeitlupenübertragung mitübertragen werden, wodurch die Ereignisse für den Zuschauer noch besser verständlich und nachvollziehbar werden.The principle of the invention is based on the fact that the sports equipment at least one transmitter, one arranged in or on the sports equipment Have transmitting antenna and a power supply device. Signals are transmitted from the transmitter via the antenna, which received by receivers and used to determine position in one downstream electronic processing device to be processed further. The respective position data are used as additional information transmitted by media technology and perceptible to the viewer shown. The position data is displayed with a time delay and / or with a stopping time in such a way that the viewer is on the TV screen or on the video screens in the stadium the movement, i.e. the distance covered by the sports equipment representing line in the form of an extinguishing trace of light results. This extinguishing trace of light can of course also be found in the Slow motion transmission can be transmitted, causing the events even more understandable and understandable for the viewer become.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend an Hand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden.The invention is intended to be illustrated below using exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail.
