Definitions

  • This invention relates to a monitoring system and method of monitoring. More particularly, but not exclusively, it relates to a system and method for monitoring competitors in a sporting event.
  • the accurate tracking of the relative positions of competitors in a sporting event is important as it allows definitive judgements to be made regarding the placings of competitors. Tracking also allows, for example, false starts, where a competitor crosses a start line prior to the official start of the event, to be monitored and identified.
  • Another important use of tracking of relative positions of competitors is in post race performance analysis, for example, in a yacht race a competitor can analyse their course about a buoy, or waymarker, relative to another competitors course in order to determine where time was lost or gained.
  • GPS Global Positioning Systems

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un système de suivi (200) pour les concurrents d’une épreuve sportive qui comprend une pluralité de dispositifs de localisation (202a-f) associés chacun à un concurrent respectif (204a-f), une pluralité d’émetteurs-récepteurs sans fil (206a-f) en communication chacun avec un dispositif de localisation respectif (202a-f) et un processeur central (208). Le processeur central (208) est également associé à un émetteur-récepteur sans fil. Chacun des multiples émetteurs-récepteurs (206a-f) est configuré pour recevoir régulièrement le même signal de la même source distante (102a-d) et transmettre ce signal au dispositif de localisation respectif (202a-f). Chacun de ces dispositifs (202a-f) est configuré pour exécuter le même algorithme de localisation sur le signal afin de déterminer la position du concurrent (204a-f) et générer un jeu de données de position, qui comprend un identifiant de concurrent. Ce jeu de données est transmis au processeur central (208) via les émetteurs-récepteurs respectifs (206a-f) et l’émetteur-récepteur sans fil du processeur. Le processeur central (208) traite chaque jeu de données de position afin de générer un journal détaillant la position relative des concurrents dans l’épreuve et stocke ce journal.
