For example, the defense data may include the position and speed of the ball when defending, the velocity at the time of the throw, the launch angle, the throw distance, and the like.

The data collection server 330 may receive raw data including real-time pitching data, batting data, and defense data for one or more players collected by the radar-based data collection devices 310 respectively installed in the ballpark. At this time, the data collection server 330 may be directly connected to the radar-based data collection device 310 or may be connected through wired / wireless communication.

The data collection server 330 may store the raw data collected in real time in the database 340. For example, the data collection server 330 may match metadata collected for the player stored in the database 340 with the collected real-time raw data and store the same in the database 340.

At this time, the database 340 may be connected to the data collection server 330 through wired / wireless communication. Also, the database 340 may be installed as a service or an application program in the data collection server 330, but is not limited thereto.

The baseball information providing server 320 requests the data collection server 330 for raw information about a specific player. The baseball information providing server 320 receives the information on the specific player received from the data collection server 330 and delivers the information to the client 350.

At this time, the baseball information providing system 300 corresponds to one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the baseball information providing system 300 can be modified in various ways based on the components shown in FIG.

For example, two or more of the radar-based data collection device 310, the data collection server 330, and the baseball information providing server 320 included in the baseball information providing system 300 may be implemented as one server.

In addition, the baseball information providing system 300 is installed in the baseball field, and can manage the data generated in each baseball field. In addition, the baseball information providing system 300 can manage the collected data from the plurality of baseball fields through the radar-based data collecting device 310. [

On the other hand, the baseball information providing server 320 can receive an information request message for a specific player from the client 350. The baseball information providing server 320 may transmit a data request message for a player corresponding to the information request message for a specific player to the data collection server 330. [

The data collection server 330 may extract raw data for a particular athlete from the database 340. The data collection server 330 may transmit the raw data of the extracted specific player to the baseball information providing server 320.

The baseball information providing server 320 may analyze the raw data for a specific player from the data collection server 330 to generate information. The baseball information providing server 320 can transmit information on the generated specific player to the client 350.

At this time, the athlete may be a pitcher, batter and defender.

If the athlete is a pitcher, the baseball information providing server 320 may calculate the pitching information from the raw data for the athlete. The baseball information providing server 320 may transmit the calculated pitching information to the client 350. At this time, the pitching information may be based on the pitch pattern of the player.

For example, the pitching information may include ball pitch information, pitch information, pitcher information, release point, movement, and pitch trajectory of the ball the pitcher throws. At this time, the batter information may include a hit type, a strike rate, a batting rate per batter, a slugging percentage, a pitch value, and a contact quality (CQ) for a plurality of hitters opposed to the pitcher, But is not limited thereto.

At this time, the pitch value is one of the saber matrix indexes, and the value of the pitch is evaluated. In addition, contact quality is an evaluation of the value of an inflated batting during a bat, unlike when calculating the pitch value. For example, a pitch value can be evaluated based on how many points a ball corresponds to. The contact quality can also be used to evaluate an average hit value based on the hit angle and hit speed.

Hereinafter, the pitching information calculated by the baseball information providing server 320 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The baseball information providing server 320 may collect the pitching data for each of the plurality of points. At this time, the pitching data may each include a position of a hole passing through a plurality of points. In addition, the pitch data may include ball speed, direction, number of revolutions, entry angle, entry speed, and entry acceleration for a plurality of points. Here, the pitching data is merely an example, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the baseball information providing server 320 can calculate the pitching information for each of the plurality of points using the collected pitching data.

4 is an exemplary view of a pitching trajectory according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the baseball information providing server 320 may collect pitch data for five points. For example, the first point may be a point on the pitcher mound. The second point can be where the pitcher pitches the ball. In addition, the third point may be a point '15 m' in front of the groove plate, and the fourth point may be a point '12 m' in front of the groove plate. The fifth point may be in front of the home plate.

The baseball information providing server 320 may calculate different pitching information for each point. For example, the baseball information providing server 320 may calculate a release point at a first point, and the second point and the fifth point may collect an entry angle, an entry velocity, and an entry acceleration for the ball. In addition, the third point and the fourth point can collect the passing position of the ball. At this time, the pitch data and the pitch information collected or analyzed at each point are merely examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

5 is an exemplary view of an interface representing release point information of a pitch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, the release point may include height information and side information, including information on the position where the pitcher leaves the pitcher's hand or the position where the pitcher places the pitch in a pitching process in which a pitcher throws a pitch. The release point may be a measure that measures the change in the trajectory of the ball at the reference coordinates and the rotation caused by the rotation of the ball.

For example, the reference coordinates may be either the position of the batter hitting the pitcher's ball or the coordinates of the mound where the pitcher is located. Alternatively, the reference coordinates may be predetermined positions, but are not limited thereto.

The baseball information providing server 320 may calculate a release point at which the pitcher punches the ball based on the reference coordinates. At this time, the calculated release point may include a release side, a release height, and an extension.

For example, the release side is measured based on the position where the pitcher pitches the ball in the lateral direction with respect to the pitching front. In this case, the release side can be expressed as a positive number when the right side is centered around the reference point, and can be expressed as a negative number when it is left. If the release side is '30cm', the pitcher may be releasing the ball to the right '30cm' around the reference point. Also, if the release side is -20cm, the pitcher may be releasing the ball to the left about 20cm around the reference point.

Further, the release height may be measured based on the position where the pitcher pitches the ball in the longitudinal direction with respect to the pitcher front face. At this time, the release height may be a height at which the pitcher pitches the ball from the reference point. For example, if the release height is 180 cm, the pitcher may be pitching the ball at a height of 180 cm around the reference point.

The extension can be measured based on the position where the pitcher pitches the ball in the direction of the groove plate from the pitcher front. That is, the extension can measure how long the pitcher has hit the ball near the plate. For example, if the extension is '200cm', the pitcher may be pitching the ball in front of '200cm' from the reference point.

The release sides, release heights, and extensions described above are merely examples. Therefore, the release side, the release height, and the extension can be measured in relative positions, as in the previous example, and expressed in three-dimensional coordinates. In addition, the release side, the release height, and the extension can be measured in absolute positions.

The baseball information providing server 320 may generate a user interface that represents a release point calculated during a specific period as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image for a plurality of viewpoints.

At this time, the specific period may be one or more batting, innings, or games. Also, the image may be a still image of a release point calculated during a specific period. Alternatively, the image may be an animation in which the release points calculated during a specific period are expressed in chronological order.

The baseball information providing server 320 may be displayed by classifying release points by type. At this time, the ball type may include, but is not limited to, a fastball, a slider, a changeup, and a curve.

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the release point may be collected at the first point and the second point. In this case, the units of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) may be meters (m).

For example, the first point in time may be the point at which the pitcher's release point is viewed by the catcher or batter. Therefore, the client 350 can confirm the release side and the release height of the release point at the front of the corresponding pitcher, that is, at the time of the batter or the catcher, through the first time point as shown in FIG. 5A.

In addition, the second time point may be a bird-eye view as viewed from the upper side to the lower side of the pitcher's release point. Therefore, the client 350 can confirm the release side and the extension among the release points of the corresponding player by the second point of time, as shown in FIG. 5 (b).

In assessing pitcher's pitch quality or pitcher's ability, a release point may be an important criterion. In particular, it is known that a pitcher who keeps a release point at a constant level gives a better result. In the present invention, by displaying the release point or release point rate for each pitcher in a comprehensive manner, it is possible to grasp at a glance how the release point of the pitcher is kept constant.

6 is an exemplary view of an interface showing movement information of pitching according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The movement is a measure for measuring a difference between a final position calculated based on a pitching point passed at a specific time point and finally a position on the groove plate. That is, the movement can calculate the magnitude of the change of the ball.

At this time, the movement may include the speed of the pitching, the number of revolutions and the vertical movement and the horizontal movement.

The speed can include a fast speed or a slave. At this time, the first speed is the average speed of the pitch. Dependency is the velocity at which a pitcher pitches over a specified point.

The number of revolutions is the average number of revolutions of the pitch.

Further, the vertical movement and the horizontal movement can be calculated based on the vertical movement or the horizontal movement of the ball passing over the groove plate with respect to a specific point. That is, the vertical and horizontal movements may be measurements of vertical or horizontal movements relative to the ball passing through a particular point.

Specifically, the baseball information providing server 320 can estimate the position of the ball passing on the groove plate based on the direction of the hole passing through the specific point. At this time, the direction of the hole can be expressed by a vector. In addition, the estimated ball position may be the target point of the player's pitch.

The baseball information providing server 320 may calculate the difference between the actual goal position and the actual ball position passing over the home plate as a vertical movement or a horizontal movement.

For example, if a particular point is a point in the mound of a pitcher, the baseball information providing server 320 may estimate the pitch goal point relative to the position of the ball passing over the groove plate based on the pitch direction of the pitcher's release can do. The baseball information providing server 320 may calculate the vertical movement or the horizontal movement using the difference of the actual ball position passing over the pitch target point and the groove plate.

When the specific point is a specific point in the middle of the pitcher mound and the home plate, the baseball information providing server 320 determines the difference of the ball position in the middle of the groove plate from the vertical Directional motion or horizontal motion can be calculated.

Meanwhile, the baseball information providing server 320 may generate a user interface that expresses the movement calculated for a plurality of points during a specific period as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image. At this time, the specific period may be one or more batting, innings, or games. Further, the image may be a still image representing a movement calculated during a specific period. Alternatively, the image may be an animation in which the movement calculated during a specific period is expressed in chronological order.

For example, the baseball information providing server 320 may generate a user interface that expresses the movement calculated for a plurality of points during a specific period in a two-dimensional plane. In addition, the baseball information providing server 320 may be expressed by dividing the movement into two-dimensional planes, similar to the release point. Alternatively, the baseball information providing server 320 may express the movement on the two-dimensional plane by dividing the movement into the first speed, the dependent speed, or the rotation speed.

Referring to FIG. 6, the baseball information providing server 320 may represent a vertical movement, a horizontal movement, and a pitch of a movement in a two-dimensional plane. In this case, FIG. 6A shows the movement to the third time point, and FIG. 6B shows the movement to the fourth time point. In addition, the units of Figs. 6 (a) and 6 (b) may be centimeters (cm).

For example, the third time may be where the pitcher pitched the ball. Therefore, the point '(0, 0)' in FIG. 5 (a) may be a pitch target point calculated based on the direction of pitching at the release point or release point of the pitcher. Also, each point on the graph can be a position where an actual hole has passed through the groove plate. Therefore, at the third point of time, the ball indicated at '(10, 15)' can be judged to be past the groove plate by being biased to the right by '10 cm' or '15 cm' above the pitch target point.

Also, the fourth point of view may be the '12m' position in front of the groove plate. Therefore, the '(0, 0)' point in FIG. 5 (b) can be the pitch target point calculated at the '12 m' position before the home plate. That is, at the fourth point of time, the ball indicated at '(5, -6)' can be judged to be past '5 cm' and '6 cm' lower than the pitching target point at 12 m in front of the home plate, have.

Then, the baseball information providing server 320 can calculate the pitching trajectory based on the generated pitching information. In addition, the baseball information providing server 320 can generate an interface including a two-dimensional or three-dimensional pitch trajectory simulation image based on the calculated pitch trajectory.

Referring again to FIG. 4, the baseball information providing server 320 may generate pitch information for five points. The baseball information providing server 320 may calculate the pitching trajectory by associating the pitching information for each point with each of the five points.

On the other hand, if the player is a batter, the baseball information providing server 320 may calculate batting information from the raw data of the athlete. The baseball information providing server 320 may transmit the hit information to the client 350.

For example, the hit information may include, but is not limited to, the hitter's inclination, the direction of the hit, the type of hit, the hit rate, the strikeout rate, the bad swing rate, the contact rate, the batting average, the slugging percentage and the contact quality.

At this time, the inclination of the batter is an analysis of how the batter hits the ball that has been pitched to a specific pattern or a specific position. For example, the batter's tendency can be either center, edge, or out. At this time, the center may be a region where the probability of being judged as a strike is 80 to 90% or more. Also, the edge is the area where the probability of being determined as strike is 50%, and the out can be other areas.

In addition, the types of batters include home run, fly ball, ground ball, line drive, pop up, bunt, and foul. can do.

If the player is a defender, the baseball information providing server 320 may calculate the defense information from the raw data of the athlete. Then, the baseball information providing server 320 can transmit the calculated defense information to the client 350.
