Description

DESCRIPTION

Animation system for events

The present invention relates to an animation system for events, in particular for sporting events.

Background of the invention

In the case of a pandemic, it is necessary to take the appropriate measures to avoid the transmission of the pathogen, and the safest means is to maintain a social distance, for example, 2 meters.

This social distance can be maintained in open spaces, such as on the street, but it is not possible to do so in spaces where events take place, for example, in a stadium.

In current stadiums, the separation between seats is very reduced to allow for the greatest possible capacity of spectators, but this reduced distance is incompatible with the measure of maintaining social distance.

For this reason, sporting events should be held without an audience in the event of a pandemic, and viewers can only enjoy the event on television.

This entails a great disaffection for athletes and clubs in general, in addition to losing the advantage of what is called "playing at home", and can cause fan disinterest, uncertainty and consequently economic losses to clubs and federations.

Description of the invention

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an event animation system with which fans can convey their mood to event participants.

With the animation system of the invention, the aforementioned drawbacks are solved, presenting other advantages that will be described below.

The animation system for events includes:

- a first device provided with a screen with a plurality of keys for different actions; and

- a second device, which receives the actions from the first device, and which comprises at least one loudspeaker and / or a screen.

According to a preferred embodiment, said actions comprise sending at least one image and / or at least one sound.

Preferably, said second device also comprises at least one camera, which sends the captured images to said first device. For example, such a camera is a video camera.

According to a preferred embodiment, said first device is a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, a video game console or a smart television, and said second device is a robot.

In this way, fans will return to the stadiums in a virtual way, but maintaining the normal animation of an event.

The second device, such as the robot, is remotely controlled by the fan through the first device (mobile phone or tablet), it will transmit with voices and / or images, their state of mind to support the team or athlete.

In addition, the animation system can be used after attendance at events is allowed, and will allow the stadiums to be filled in events where capacity is not full.

The animation system according to the present invention also allows, through the camera, that the fan can feel as if they were in the stadium.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of what has been stated, some drawings are attached in which, schematically and only as a non-limiting example, a practical case of embodiment is represented.

Figure 1 is a schematic view of the components of the animation system according to the present invention; and

Figure 2 is a schematic view of the application on a user's mobile phone.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As shown in figure 1, the animation system comprises first and second devices 1, 2 that are connected to each other wirelessly, for example via the Internet, and can emit and receive information (images and sounds) each.

The first device 1 is a device that is in the possession of the user, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, a video game console, a smart television or any suitable device that can connect to the Internet. Through this first device 1 the user interacts with the second device substantially in real time, as will be explained later.

For its part, the second device 2 is located at the event site, for example in a stadium, and is preferably a robot.

According to the embodiment shown, the second device 2 comprises one or more loudspeakers 3, one or more screens 4 and one or more cameras 5, in addition to one or more antennas 6 for connection to the first device 1.

Said camera 5 is preferably a video camera 5, for example a webcam, which allows the user to see the event from the place where the second device 2 is located.

Figure 2 shows an example of the application that the user sees on the screen of the first device 1, such as a mobile phone.

A plurality of keys for different functions are displayed on this screen. In particular, according to this embodiment, the keys are as follows:

-11: images, such as tile images, applause, player images, etc. -12: sounds, such as whistles, hymn, etc.

-13: support, such as applause, classic club chants, etc.

- 14: specific keys, such as specific phrases, for example, "goal", in the event of a football match;

-15: camera, to activate or deactivate the camera of the second device 2;

-16: sound, to activate or deactivate the sound.

To avoid a continued use of the system according to the present invention, the user can configure a fatigue algorithm, which the user can control during the event, for example, through a slider 17 or an icon 18. The larger is the fatigue, the less response the second device will have 2.

From the first device 1 it is also possible to take pictures of the event, zoom in and out of the camera and / or move the camera.

For use, the second device 2 is placed in the user's usual position in the stadium and when the event starts the first device 1 connects to the second device 2, for example, via the Internet.

Depending on the development of the event, the user can send instructions to the second device 2 by pressing the keys on the first device 1.

For example, in the case of a soccer game, the user can emit a mosaic image before the start of the game, send a clapping sound during the presentation of the players, send a "goal" sound when their team score a goal, etc. In this way, the players will feel the support provided by their fans, even if they are not physically present in the stadium.

Despite the fact that reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the animation system described is susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and that all the mentioned details can be replaced by others technically equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
