Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for regenerating at least one rotating time of a sports competition in progress in a receiving device.
  • the invention also relates to a data transmission installation for implementing the method for regenerating a running time of a sports competition in progress.
  • the sporting competition concerns a race judged continuously for successive competitors or who start at the same time from a starting point, on a place outside or inside.
  • the sporting competition may be, for example, a ski race, a car race, a track and field race, a swimming race, a rowing race or any other type of competition where a time of competitors must be timed.
  • the sports competition may also be a sports match between two teams for which an initial time, several intermediate stopping times, a final time, as well as a score between the two teams, may be communicated to a receiving device.
  • Such a sporting event may be, for example, a basketball, ice hockey, water polo or various other sports matches played during a given playing time.
  • the running time during a sports competition is the time measured by the timing circuit of a transmitting device during the race of one or more competitors. This rotating time begins after receiving a start signal of the race and ends for each respective competitor upon receipt of an arrival signal.
  • the weather rotating at the start of at least one competitor is generally displayed on a large display screen arranged at the place of arrival for spectators of said sports competition.
  • the starting time, one or more intermediate times and a final time of arrival for each competitor may also be displayed on said big screen.
  • the transmitting device which includes the timing circuit of the sports competition may also communicate all the race data to one or more receiving devices. These receiving devices can be arranged at the venue of the sports competition or also at a distance from the venue of the current sports competition. For receivers remote from the place or at the place of the sports competition, several required data related to the sports competition may be communicated by the transmitting device via a communication network, such as the Internet or UMTS (GSM), to one or several receiving devices.
  • GSM UMTS
  • the transmission of the data signals from the transmitting device to at least one receiving device remote from the sports competition venue is generally of variable duration. This variable transmission time depends on many conditions of communication of data signals and in particular the data transmission load via the communication network, such as the Internet.
  • a variable transmission time for providing data signals from a run of a transmitting device to at least one receiving device can cause certain problems. It can be difficult to guarantee a regular and seamless regeneration of a running time of a sports competition in a receiving device to allow him to follow live the evolution of a sports competition in progress. This is a disadvantage of the state of the art of any data transmission installation of a sports competition for the regeneration for example of a running time in a remote receiver device.
  • the document EP 1139299 relates to the timing of a sports competition.
  • the system described in this document takes into account the possible delays between the transmission of a departure signal transmitted at the start and its reception on arrival in order to always be able to display reliable information on arrival.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art by proposing a regeneration process of at least one time rotating a sports competition in progress in a receiver device, which is simple to operate in the receiving device without excessive power consumption and to regenerate a running time continuously without jerks.
  • the invention relates to a method for regenerating at least one rotating time of a sports competition in progress in a receiving device, which comprises the characteristics defined in the independent claim 1.
  • An advantage of the method of regeneration of a rotating time in a receiver device lies in the fact that a time shift is adapted in the device to start the running time after a determined time difference and following the signaling of a start time in the received data signals.
  • the running time is not dependent on a variable transmission time of data signals between the transmitting device and the receiving device.
  • no particular disturbance occurs during the regeneration of the rotating time in the receiver device and a display of this time on a display screen can be performed continuously and without jerks.
  • the start time, split times and final finish time can also be displayed directly in a precise manner without any correction of the time displayed thereafter.
  • a regeneration of a rotating time with a small time difference between the rotating time of the sports competition venue and that regenerated in the receiving device is obtained for a substantially live presentation of the evolution of said sports competition.
  • the time base of the receiving device which can be reset automatically and regularly, does not need to be accurate to one hundredth of a second in the same way as the timing circuit of a sports competition in progress. .
  • the accuracy of the base time of the receiver device is sufficient to regenerate the time running to one tenth of a second.
  • few messages that is to say few data signals, are required to be picked up by the receiver device for the regeneration of a rotating time without saccades. It is only necessary for the receiving device to receive a start time, one or more intermediate times and an arrival time to regenerate with a time shift the running time of the sports competition continuously and without saccades. A reduced power consumption in the receiver device is thus obtained for the regeneration of a rotating time.
  • the invention also relates to a data transmission installation for implementing the method for regenerating a running time of a sports competition in progress, which comprises the characteristics defined in the independent claim 10.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shown a data transmission installation 1, which is used for implementing the regeneration method of a running time of a sports competition in at least one receiving device 5, 15.
  • the installation 1 comprises firstly a transmitter device 2, which can be arranged at the venue of the sports competition.
  • a transmitting device at the sports competition venue comprises at least one accurate timing circuit 3 at least one hundredth or a thousandth of a second for measuring the time of competitors of a sports competition.
  • the time of the sports competition can be measured successively or in superposition during the running of a first rotating time of a first competitor and a second running time of a second competitor left after the first competitor.
  • the timing circuit 3 can handle several rotating times at the same time for one or more competitors. Following any start time reported to the timing circuit 3 to start any running time, the timing circuit 3 is able to take each desired intermediate time and at least one final time of arrival of one or more competitors.
  • the information of each running time of the timing circuit 3 can be displayed on a large screen display 4 by a suitable connection between the timing circuit and the large display screen.
  • the installation 1 may also comprise at least one auxiliary receiver device 5, which is connected by a cable to the transmitter device 2 for example at the sports competition venue, and one or more receivers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 , which are distant from the venue or venue of the current sports competition.
  • These receiving devices 15 are for example at least one computer station 16 and one or more portable devices, such as mobile telephones 17, 18 and 19.
  • the communication of the data signals S T of the transmitting device 2 can be done via a communication network 10, such as the Internet.
  • a server 11 may be used for the storage of information and the simultaneous transmission of different data signals S F1 , S F2 , S F3 , S F4 , to different remote receiving devices 16, 17, 18 and 19.
  • These data signals S F1 , S F2 , S F3 , S F4 correspond to the data signals S T transmitted directly from the transmitting device 2.
  • the communication network can also relate to the UMTS network (GSM).
  • GSM UMTS network
  • the receiving device or devices 5, 15 may be able to regenerate the running time with a slight time shift in order to overcome any disturbance during the transmission of data signals S T of the transmitter device 2.

Thanks to this time difference fixed in the receiving device 5, no disturbance or saccade occurs during the continuous regeneration of the rotating time and the display of this time on a display screen of said receiving device 5, 15.
  • the regularly rotating time regenerated in the receiver device 5, 15 is then stopped once the time counted in the receiver device corresponds to the final time of the received data signals. s previously.
  • One or more intermediate times may be signaled in the receiving device once the counted time of the regenerated running time corresponds to the intermediate times of the received data signals.
  • the determined time difference ⁇ t can be fixed directly in the receiving device 5, 15 by the user of the receiving device.
  • This time difference can be estimated roughly so as to take account, for example, of a variable transmission time Tn as shown by the graph of the figure 4 . It can be set for example at 3 seconds.
  • This determined time difference ⁇ t may be greater than any estimated transmission time Tn.
  • the user can view on his receiving device the running time of at least one competitor in the race and possibly any intermediate time practically live and without saccades.
  • the receiving device 5, 15 comprises a time base which does not need to be as accurate as the time measured by the timing circuit 3, it can also display the time in addition to the regenerated time with a time offset. determined. This time may be the same as the time of the competition venue or be different. In this condition, a time offset must be taken into account in the receiving device, but does not affect the regeneration of the rotating time.
  • the data signals S T transmitted by the transmitting device 2 successively comprise in particular the information relating to the starting time of any competitor or the starting time of a sports match, at one or more intermediate times and at a final time.
  • the time of the place of the sports competition, the number and type of the sports competition, such as a race, the identification of each competitor with his bib number, or team, and the indication the type of transmitted time are also included in the data signals transmitted by the transmitting device 2.
  • This information can be displayed on a display screen of the device receiver at the same time as at least one running time of a competitor in the race with the start, intermediate and finish times.
  • the receiver device may be configured to set a time difference ⁇ t sufficient to begin the regeneration of a running time in the receiving device after receiving the start signal. This time difference ⁇ t can also be fixed without directly taking into account the calculation of the transmission time.
  • the time difference can be set to a value set in advance.
  • a receiving device 5, 15 may also be able to regenerate a first rotating time of the current competition of a first competitor, and a second time of a second competitor left after the first competitor.
  • the first rotating time starts after a determined time difference ⁇ t and following the signaling of a first start time of the first competitor in the received data signals S T.
  • the second running time of the current sports competition starts after a determined time difference ⁇ t following the signaling of a second start time of the second competitor in the received data signals S T. This second rotating time starts before or after reception by the receiver device 5, 15 of a first final time of the first competitor in the received data signals S T.
