Abstract

A system for collecting telemetry information about any object of interest in a live sporting event and distributing the collected telemetry information to remote computer user (71) over the Internet (17). Client computers (18) receiving the telemetry information can recreate a simulated rendition of the actual live event through loaded application software (21). The system (10) as applied to a live automobile racing event for illustration purposes, but can be applied to any live sporting event. For telemetry collection, a series of data collection devices (86) serve as simple crossing point indicators, such as radio beacon receivers, to signal when an object of interest car crosses a sensor positioned on the race track (82) at the race. Pre-created models of the racing cars, the track venue, and sponsor messages information are incorporated into the system and sent to remote client computer in the form of a data script file. Each client computer (18) has running in memory an Internet communications agent (19) and a software viewer (21), similar to gaming software, for converting the data scripting file into a live regenerated scene. By streaming updated scripting files to the client computer (18), a live simulated scene corresponding to the live event is created on the client computer's display device.
