2. Una pelota que comprende componentes electrónicos y que se vincula a la pulsera. 2. A ball that contains electronic components and is linked to the bracelet.
3. Un servidor donde se recogen los datos de los usuarios y las partidas y se gestionan.3. A server where user and game data is collected and managed.
4. Un dispositivo móvil con cámara y con una aplicación específica. 4. A mobile device with a camera and a specific application.
5. Eventualmente un geomarcador electrónico que pueda sustituir la posición de la pelota de ser necesario. 5. Eventually an electronic geomarker that can replace the position of the ball if necessary.
El proceso de autenticación recaba de manera independiente una serie de parámetros y verifica su coherencia, además de relacionarlos con el jugador previamente autenticado. A modo de ejemplo, pulsera y pelota se vinculan siendo posible determinar la coherencia de los datos obtenidos por una y otra. Será coherente que estando la pulsera en posición de punto óptimo de golpeo final, se inicie el movimiento de la pelota o por ejemplo que el inicio del movimiento de la pelota sea coincidente con el momento en que se detecta el sonido del palo al golpear la pelota. Si la pelota inicia su movimiento en un momento distinto del sonido del palo o del punto óptimo de golpeo final, el sistema detectará una incoherencia. The authentication process independently collects a series of parameters and verifies their consistency, in addition to relating them to the previously authenticated player. By way of example, bracelet and ball are linked, making it possible to determine the coherence of the data obtained by one and the other. It will be coherent that the bracelet being in the optimum point of final hitting position, the movement of the ball begins or, for example, that the beginning of the movement of the ball coincides with the moment in which the sound of the stick is detected when hitting the ball . If the ball begins its movement at a time other than the sound of the club or the optimal final hitting point, the system will detect an inconsistency.
Si los datos son incoherentes el sistema no podrá autenticar la partida o el golpe. If the data is inconsistent, the system will not be able to authenticate the game or hit.
Para ello previamente se vincula la pulsera al jugador de manera que no sea posible su sustitución o manipulación sin que el sistema lo detecte. En cuanto al geomarcador, será útil en el caso de tener que mover la pelota temporalmente o en caso de su pérdida, ya que mantendrá la posición de ésta para que sea sustituida. To do this, the bracelet is previously linked to the player so that its replacement or manipulation is not possible without the system detecting it. As for the geomarker, it will be useful in the case of having to move the ball temporarily or in case of its loss, since it will maintain the position of the ball so that it can be replaced.
A lo largo de esta memoria y reivindicaciones se van a utilizar los siguientes conceptos: Throughout this specification and claims the following concepts will be used:
Pulsera: cualquier elemento adecuado para fijarse en el brazo del jugador, preferiblemente en la zona de la muñeca. En una realización preferente la pulsera comprende un giroscopio, un acelerómetro, un GPS y un sonar además de medios para vincularse a la pelota (o en su caso al geomarcador). Bracelet: any suitable element to be attached to the player's arm, preferably in the wrist area. In a preferred embodiment, the bracelet comprises a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a GPS and a sonar as well as means to link to the ball (or in its case to the geomarker).
Cierre inviolable: Cerradura de la pulsera que discrimina la posición de apertura y la de cierre. Para separar la pulsera del usuario debe abrirse el cierre inviolable siendo detectado por el sistema. Punto óptimo de golpeo: Posición y ubicación de la pulsera en el momento en que el palo se encuentra en la posición idónea para golpear. Tomamos como referencia el punto de preparación al golpeo, registrado por el acelerómetro y giroscopio, como el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial, al que debe retornar el acelerómetro y giroscopio en la maniobra de golpeo en el punto óptimo de golpeo final. El procedimiento de verificación de partidas de golf es un ciclo que comprende la identificación del usuario, la verificación de que es ese usuario quien juega la partida, la verificación de la coherencia de una serie de parámetros y la verificación de que la pelota ha llegado al punto final. El proceso comprende las siguientes etapas: Inviolable closure: Bracelet lock that discriminates between the opening and closing positions. To separate the bracelet from the user, the tamper evident closure must be opened and detected by the system. Optimum hitting point: Position and location of the bracelet at the moment when the club is in the ideal position to hit. We take as a reference the point of preparation for hitting, registered by the accelerometer and gyroscope, as the optimum initial hitting point, to which the accelerometer and gyroscope must return in the hitting maneuver at the optimum final hitting point. The golf game verification procedure is a cycle that includes identifying the user, verifying that it is that user who plays the game, verifying the consistency of a series of parameters and verifying that the ball has reached the final point. The process comprises the following stages:
1.- Autenticación del usuario, que comprende las siguientes subetapas: 1.- User authentication, which includes the following sub-stages:
Subetapa de cierre y activación de la pulsera, durante la cual, tras verificarse el cierre, la pulsera se activa y se conecta con los otros elementos del dispositivo, al menos con el dispositivo móvil con cámara y con la aplicación específica. Sub-stage of closure and activation of the bracelet, during which, after verifying the closure, the bracelet is activated and connected with the other elements of the device, at least with the mobile device with camera and with the specific application.
Subetapa de identificación del usuario: Se obtienen patrones biométricos con la cámara del dispositivo móvil utilizando la aplicación específica. La pulsera emite un código, por ejemplo lumínico, único y adecuado para identificar el momento exacto de obtención de la fotografía. La fotografía, de la palma de la mano y la muñeca, comprende los patrones biométricos y el código y se remite al servidor para compararlos con los patrones biométricos ya existentes del jugador y verificar su identidad. User identification sub-stage: Biometric patterns are obtained with the mobile device's camera using the specific application. The bracelet emits a code, for example light, unique and suitable to identify the exact moment the photograph was taken. The photograph, of the palm of the hand and the wrist, comprises the biometric patterns and the code and is sent to the server to compare them with the existing biometric patterns of the player and verify their identity.
2.- Segunda etapa en la que, si no se ha procedido con anterioridad a la conexión de la pulsera con los demás elementos del dispositivo, se procede a la conexión inalámbrica de la pulsera con la pelota y el sistema de geolocalización. Los movimientos de esa pelota se vinculan al usuario a través de la pulsera. La pelota será irremplazable salvo pérdida o deterioro en cuyo caso se dará de alta una pelota nueva desde su última posición registrada por la pulsera. 2.- Second stage in which, if the bracelet has not been previously connected to the other elements of the device, the bracelet is connected wirelessly with the ball and the geolocation system. The movements of that ball are linked to the user through the bracelet. The ball will be irreplaceable except for loss or damage, in which case a new ball will be registered from its last position recorded by the bracelet.
3.- Tercera etapa de verificación de la posición del usuario, gracias a la pulsera, que debe ser coherente con la posición de la pelota y la posición de inicio y final de los hoyos del recorrido donde se juegue. 3.- Third stage of verification of the user's position, thanks to the bracelet, which must be consistent with the position of the ball and the starting and ending position of the holes on the course where it is played.
Esta determinación de la posición se puede llevar a cabo por cualquier sistema de posicionamiento conocido, como puede ser el GPS. This position determination can be carried out by any known positioning system, such as GPS.
4.- Cuarta etapa de autenticación del golpeado de la pelota: Se verifica la coherencia de determinados datos relacionados con el momento del golpeo. A mayor número de datos obtenidos coherentes, mayor será la seguridad de la autenticación. Para ello se debe caracterizar primero el punto óptimo de golpeo. 4.- Fourth stage of authentication of the hit of the ball: The coherence of certain data related to the moment of the hit is verified. The more consistent data obtained, the stronger the authentication security. To do this, the optimal hitting point must first be characterized.
A través de una serie de parámetros se puede caracterizar el punto óptimo de golpeo del usuario. Para establecer el punto óptimo de golpeo tomamos como referencia el punto de preparación al golpeo, registrado por el acelerómetro y giroscopio de la pulsera, como el punto óptimo al que debe retornar el acelerómetro y giroscopio. Through a series of parameters, the optimal hitting point of the user can be characterized. To establish the optimal hitting point we take as a reference the point of preparation to hit, registered by the accelerometer and gyroscope of the bracelet, as the optimum point to which the accelerometer and gyroscope should return.
Para ello: For it:
- Se divide el movimiento del golpeo en dos fases, una de carga (movimiento de subida y retroceso) y otra de descarga (movimiento de bajada y avance) - The striking movement is divided into two phases, a loading phase (up and back movement) and a discharge phase (lowering and forward movement)
- Se determina el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial como aquel que registra el acelerómetro de la pulsera al comenzar el movimiento de carga, es decir, el punto de preparación al golpeo. - The optimal initial hitting point is determined as the one recorded by the accelerometer of the bracelet at the beginning of the load movement, that is, the point of preparation for hitting.
- Se compara el movimiento de carga y de descarga para encontrar similitudes entre ambos. - The movement of loading and unloading is compared to find similarities between both.
- Se considera el inicio del movimiento de la pelota como el momento que determina el punto óptimo de golpeo final. - The beginning of the movement of the ball is considered as the moment that determines the optimal final hitting point.
- Se compara el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial con el punto óptimo del golpeo final que deben coincidir. Son datos de interés: - The optimum point of initial hitting is compared with the optimum point of the final hit, which must coincide. The data of interest are:
Distancia entre pulsera y pelota (vertical, horizontal o transversal): comparando el punto que registra la pulsera en la preparación del golpeo o inicio del movimiento de carga con la del punto registrado por la pulsera al iniciar la pelota su movimiento podemos comparar la distancia de estos puntos con respecto a la pelota. Si ambos puntos no son equivalentes significa que el golpeo no ha sido realizado correctamente ya que la distancia entre la pulsera y la pelota son diferentes en ambos puntos. No necesariamente estos puntos han de situarse exactamente en el mismo lugar o coincidir sino simplemente ser equivalentes con la distancia entre la pulsera y la pelota. Distance between bracelet and ball (vertical, horizontal or transverse): comparing the point that the bracelet registers in the preparation of the hit or start of the loading movement with that of the point registered by the bracelet when the ball starts its movement, we can compare the distance of these points with respect to the ball. If both points are not equivalent, it means that the hit has not been made correctly since the distance between the bracelet and the ball are different in both points. These points do not necessarily have to be located exactly in the same place or coincide, but simply be equivalent to the distance between the bracelet and the ball.
En este análisis la posición de la pelota permanece estática por eso podemos tomar como referencia cualquier punto diferente al de los analizados siempre que al comparar ambos (el punto de preparación y el punto de golpeo final) el punto de referencia sea el mismo. In this analysis, the position of the ball remains static, so we can take as a reference any point different from the one analyzed provided that when comparing both (the preparation point and the final hitting point) the reference point is the same.
Movimiento de carga y de descarga: comparando los movimientos realizados por el usuario desde que inicia el movimiento de golpeo hasta que impacta con la pelota podemos encontrar una situación óptima desde la cual el usuario puede golpear la pelota. Los parámetros que pueden utilizarse, todos o alguno, para determinar si existen o no incoherencias son: Loading and unloading movement: comparing the movements made by the user from the beginning of the hitting movement until it hits the ball, we can find an optimal situation from which the user can hit the ball. The parameters that can be used, all or some, to determine whether or not there are inconsistencies are:
Distancia vertical entre la pulsera y la pelota: Una distancia vertical entre pulsera y pelota distinta en el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial y en el punto óptimo de golpeo final sería detectada por el sistema como incoherencia e irregularidad. La distancia con la pelota será la existente entre la pelota y el punto que registra acelerómetro y giroscopio al iniciarse el movimiento de ascenso o de carga. Si el acelerómetro después de marcar el punto de inicio realiza un movimiento de ascenso o carga pero en la bajada o descarga, al momento en que la pelota inicia su movimiento, la distancia vertical del acelerómetro respecto de la pelota es sustancialmente distinta no siendo equivalente su posición a la del momento del inicio del movimiento de carga el sistema detectará una incoherencia. Vertical distance between the bracelet and the ball: A different vertical distance between the bracelet and the ball at the optimal initial hitting point and at the final hitting optimum point would be detected by the system as inconsistency and irregularity. The distance with the ball will be that between the ball and the point that the accelerometer and gyroscope registers when the upward or loading movement begins. If the accelerometer, after marking the starting point, performs an ascent or loading movement but while descending or unloading, at the moment the ball begins its movement, the vertical distance of the accelerometer with respect to the ball is substantially different, its position at the moment the load movement starts, the system will detect an inconsistency.
Distancia horizontal entre pulsera y pelota: Si esa distancia es distinta en el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial y en el punto óptimo de golpeo final sería detectada por el sistema como una incoherencia e irregularidad. Entendemos la distancia horizontal con la pelota como el punto que registra acelerómetro y giroscopio al iniciarse el movimiento de ascenso o de carga, de ese modo, si en la bajada o descarga, al momento en que la pelota inicia su movimiento, la distancia horizontal es sustancialmente distinta no siendo equivalente su posición a la del momento del inicio del movimiento de carga el sistema detectará una incoherencia. Horizontal distance between bracelet and ball: If that distance is different at the optimum initial hitting point and at the final hitting optimum point, it would be detected by the system as an incoherence and irregularity. We understand the horizontal distance with the ball as the point that registers the accelerometer and gyroscope at the beginning of the ascent or loading movement, thus, if in the descent or discharge, at the moment the ball begins its movement, the horizontal distance is substantially different, its position not being equivalent to that at the moment of the start of the load movement, the system will detect an incoherence.
Rotación de la muñeca: Verificar si la rotación de la muñeca es compatible con el movimiento del palo para provocar el golpeo de la pelota. Rotation of the wrist: Check if the rotation of the wrist is compatible with the movement of the club to cause the ball to hit.
Inclinación de la pulsera: la verticalidad de la pulsera en el punto óptimo de golpeo debe ser similar a la de la posición de la preparación del golpe. Si al iniciarse el movimiento de la pelota la pulsera no está en una posición y en un punto similar al de la preparación de golpe será detectado por el sistema como incoherencia. Para determinar lo que se considera sustancialmente distinto, el sistema va configurando un margen de tolerancia de cada jugador. Se considerarán sustancialmente distintos los parámetros que estén fuera de ese margen de tolerancia, no pudiéndose validar el golpe en ese caso. Inclination of the bracelet: the verticality of the bracelet at the optimal striking point should be similar to that of the position of the preparation of the shot. If at the beginning of the movement of the ball the bracelet is not in a position and at a point similar to that of the preparation of the shot, it will be detected by the system as incoherence. To determine what is considered substantially different, the system configures a tolerance margin for each player. Parameters outside that tolerance margin will be considered substantially different, and the blow cannot be validated in that case.
La existencia de una incoherencia impide al sistema validar el golpe. Además hay otros datos que pueden contribuir a autenticar la partida: The existence of an incoherence prevents the system from validating the coup. There is also other information that can help authenticate the game:
Vibración: En el momento del golpe se producen vibraciones que se detectan con la pulsera. Si no hay coincidencia entre la vibración y el inicio del movimiento de la pelota se detecta por el sistema como una incoherencia. Vibration: At the moment of the blow there are vibrations that are detected with the bracelet. If there is no match between the vibration and the start of the ball's movement, it is detected by the system as an inconsistency.
Velocidad concordante: La velocidad del desplazamiento de la pulsera debe ser concordante con la velocidad de movimiento de la pelota. Una falta de concordancia entre uno y otro se detecta por el sistema como incoherencia. Concordant speed: The speed of movement of the bracelet must be concordant with the speed of movement of the ball. A mismatch between one and the other is detected by the system as inconsistency.
Medios de grabación de video o imagen, grabados por la propia pulsera del usuario sería un método opcional para visualizar que efectivamente es el usuario quien genera el golpe a la pelota. Video or image recording media, recorded by the user's own bracelet, would be an optional method to visualize that it is indeed the user who generates the hit to the ball.
Un dispositivo de detección de volúmenes en el entorno, tipo sonar, puede complementar la autenticación del golpeado verificando que no hay ninguna persona en el entorno del jugador que pueda interferir en la partida. A volume detection device in the environment, such as sonar, can complement the authentication of the hit by verifying that there is no person in the player's environment who could interfere with the game.
Tras el golpe, la pelota va perdiendo velocidad de manera progresiva hasta que se detiene. La velocidad de la pelota se va analizando en cada momento de tal forma que una si se diera una variación anómala, como puede ser una aceleración de la pelota o una velocidad constante durante un espacio de tiempo prolongado, el sistema lo detecta como irregularidad. After the hit, the ball progressively slows down until it stops. The speed of the ball is analyzed at each moment in such a way that if an anomalous variation occurs, such as an acceleration of the ball or a constant speed for a long period of time, the system detects it as an irregularity.
5.- Una quinta etapa de verificación de la entrada de la pelota en el hoyo y posicionamiento del hoyo. 5.- A fifth stage of verification of the entry of the ball into the hole and positioning of the hole.
La pelota, al entrar en el hoyo hace un movimiento de remolino característico que es recogido por el acelerómetro y, al estar en contacto con la pulsera con GPS, puede determinarse la posición del hoyo. Opcionalmente puede medirse la profundidad del hoyo. As the ball enters the hole, it makes a characteristic swirling movement that is picked up by the accelerometer and, by being in contact with the GPS bracelet, the position of the hole can be determined. Optionally the depth of the hole can be measured.
Si la pelota está en un hoyo -previamente localizado- y no ha existido ese movimiento de remolino, el sistema los detecta como incoherencia. If the ball is in a hole - previously located - and there has been no such swirling movement, the system detects them as incoherence.
De igual manera si la pelota se introduce en el hoyo sin que haya sido golpeada por el usuario de forma reglamentaria el sistema lo detecta como incoherencia. La existencia de alguna incoherencia en alguna de las etapas lleva al sistema a no poder validar la acción en la que se ha detectado la incoherencia. Similarly, if the ball is introduced into the hole without having been hit by the user in a regulatory manner, the system detects it as incoherence. The existence of any inconsistency in any of the stages leads the system to not being able to validate the action in which the inconsistency was detected.
Las partidas del usuario se almacenan y se genera un perfil de su juego que lo identifica y dificulta su suplantación, catalogándolo como un jugador confiable. Las partidas de todos los usuarios van quedando registradas para poder comparar y comprobar los movimientos de un usuario con el resto de usuarios para examinar en profundidad aquellos parámetros que se salen de la norma habitual y hacer todavía más difícil la suplantación. The user's games are stored and a profile of his game is generated that identifies him and makes his impersonation difficult, classifying him as a trusted player. The games of all users are being recorded to be able to compare and check the movements of a user with the rest of the users to examine in depth those parameters that go outside the usual norm and make impersonation even more difficult.
En el caso que la pelota deba apartarse manualmente por algún motivo, el sistema puede comprender un geomarcador electrónico que se posiciona en el lugar de la pelota, conectándose ambos vía inalámbrica, sin que este geomarcador pueda moverse ya que dispone de un acelerómetro que registra el movimiento, hasta que se vuelva a intercambiar el geomarcador con la pelota para continuar con el juego. Cualquier irregularidad en este intercambio se detectaría por el sistema. Después de cada golpe, pulsera y pelota pierden la conexión que recuperan poco después. In the event that the ball must be moved away manually for any reason, the system can include an electronic geomarker that is positioned in the place of the ball, connecting both via wireless, without this geomarker being able to move since it has an accelerometer that records the movement, until the geomarker is exchanged with the ball again to continue the game. Any irregularity in this exchange would be detected by the system. After each hit, bracelet and ball lose the connection that they regain shortly after.

El dispositivo móvil con la cámara y con la aplicación recaba en un primer momento los datos de identificación del usuario (patrones biométricos) mediante fotografía de la palma de la mano y la muñeca y los contrasta con los existentes en el servidor. Al tomarse la fotografía de la muñeca se refleja también la pulsera que emite un código único acreditativo del momento en que se realiza la fotografía, impidiendo que, por ejemplo, pueda fotografiarse o la mano de otra persona o incluso la fotografía de la mano de otra persona. La pulsera se relaciona con la pelota y el dispositivo móvil, la pelota se relaciona con la pulsera y, en su caso, con el geomarcador y el dispositivo móvil se relaciona con la pulsera y con el servidor. The mobile device with the camera and with the application initially collects the user's identification data (biometric patterns) by means of a photograph of the palm of the hand and wrist and contrast them with the existing ones on the server. When the photograph of the wrist is taken, the bracelet that emits a unique code accrediting the moment in which the photograph is taken is also reflected, preventing, for example, from being photographed or the hand of another person or even the photograph of the hand of another person. The bracelet is related to the ball and the mobile device, the ball is related to the bracelet and, where appropriate, to the geomarker and the mobile device is related to the bracelet and to the server.
Con la pulsera se identifica al jugador impidiendo su suplantación. La pulsera también recibe datos de la pelota, especialmente de aceleración, desaceleración, ubicación y caída al hoyo. Esta pulsera está en conexión con el dispositivo móvil para volcar los datos al servidor y hacer las verificaciones oportunas de coherencia. The bracelet identifies the player, preventing him from impersonating. The bracelet also receives data from the ball, especially acceleration, deceleration, location and landing on the hole. This bracelet is in connection with the mobile device to upload the data to the server and make the appropriate consistency checks.
El proceso de autenticación de partidas tiene las siguientes etapas: The game authentication process has the following stages:

2.- Segunda etapa de conexión de la pulsera con la pelota y con el sistema de geolocalización. 2.- Second stage of connecting the bracelet with the ball and with the geolocation system.
La conexión es a través de un sistema inalámbrico como puede ser bluetooth. Los movimientos de esa pelota se vinculan a la aplicación y al servidor a través de la pulsera. La pelota será irremplazable salvo pérdida o deterioro en cuyo caso se dará de alta una pelota nueva desde su última posición registrada por la pulsera. 3.- Una tercera etapa de verificación de la posición del usuario, con el GPS de la pulsera. Esta posición del usuario debe ser coherente con la posición de la pelota y la posición de inicio y final de los hoyos del recorrido donde se juegue. The connection is through a wireless system such as bluetooth. The movements of that ball are linked to the application and the server through the bracelet. The ball will be irreplaceable except for loss or damage, in which case a new ball will be registered from its last position recorded by the bracelet. 3.- A third stage of verification of the user's position, with the GPS of the bracelet. This position of the user must be consistent with the position of the ball and the starting and ending positions of the holes on the course where it is played.
4.- Cuarta etapa de autenticación del golpeado de la pelota: Se verifica la coherencia de determinados datos relacionados con el momento de golpeo. Para establecer el punto óptimo de golpeo, tanto inicial como final, se procede como sigue: 4.- Fourth stage of authentication of the hit of the ball: The coherence of certain data related to the moment of hit is verified. To establish the optimal hitting point, both initial and final, proceed as follows:
Se divide el movimiento del golpeo en dos fases, una de carga y otra de descarga. The striking movement is divided into two phases, one for loading and the other for unloading.
El punto óptimo de golpeo inicial es aquel que registra el acelerómetro de la pulsera al comenzar el movimiento de carga, es decir, el punto de preparación al golpeo. Se compara el movimiento de carga y de descarga para encontrar similitudes entre ambos. The optimal initial hitting point is the one registered by the accelerometer of the bracelet when starting the loading movement, that is, the point of preparation for hitting. The movement of loading and unloading is compared to find similarities between both.
Se considera el inicio del movimiento de la pelota como el momento que determina el punto óptimo de golpeo final. The start of the ball's movement is considered as the moment that determines the optimal final hitting point.
Se compara el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial con el punto óptimo del golpeo final que deben coincidir. Los parámetros que pueden utilizarse, todos o alguno, para determinar si existen o no incoherencias son los siguientes: The optimum point of initial hitting is compared with the optimum point of the final hit that must coincide. The parameters that can be used, all or some, to determine whether or not there are inconsistencies are the following:
Distancia vertical entre la pulsera y la pelota: Una distancia vertical entre pulsera y pelota distinta entre el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial y el punto óptimo de golpeo final sería detectada por el sistema como incoherencia e irregularidad. Distancia horizontal entre la pulsera y la pelota: Una distancia horizontal entre pulsera y pelota distinta en el punto óptimo de golpeo inicial y en el punto óptimo de golpeo final sería detectada por el sistema como una incoherencia e irregularidad. Vertical distance between the bracelet and the ball: A different vertical distance between the bracelet and the ball between the optimal initial hitting point and the optimal final hitting point would be detected by the system as incoherence and irregularity. Horizontal distance between the bracelet and the ball: A different horizontal distance between the bracelet and the ball at the optimal initial hitting point and at the final hitting optimum point would be detected by the system as an inconsistency and irregularity.
Rotación de la muñeca: Verificar si la rotación de la muñeca es compatible con el movimiento del palo para provocar el golpeo de la pelota. En caso que resulte incompatible el sistema detectará una incoherencia. Inclinación de la pulsera: la verticalidad de la pulsera en el punto óptimo de golpeo final debe ser equivalente a la del punto óptimo de golpeo inicial. En caso contrario será detectado por el sistema como incoherencia. Rotation of the wrist: Check if the rotation of the wrist is compatible with the movement of the club to cause the ball to hit. If it is incompatible, the system will detect an inconsistency. Inclination of the bracelet: the verticality of the bracelet at the optimum final hitting point must be equivalent to that of the optimum initial hitting point. Otherwise it will be detected by the system as inconsistency.
Para determinar lo que se considera sustancialmente distinto, no equivalente, el sistema va configurando un margen de tolerancia de cada jugador. Se considerarán sustancialmente distintos los parámetros que estén fuera de ese margen de tolerancia, tomándolo el sistema como una incoherencia. To determine what is considered substantially different, not equivalent, the system configures a tolerance margin for each player. The parameters that are outside this tolerance margin will be considered substantially different, taking it as an inconsistency.
Además hay otros datos que pueden contribuir a autenticar la partida: There is also other information that can help authenticate the game:
Vibración: En el momento del golpe se producen vibraciones que se detectan con la pulsera. Si no hay coincidencia entre la vibración y el inicio del movimiento de la pelota se detecta por el sistema como una incoherencia e irregularidad. Vibration: At the moment of the blow there are vibrations that are detected with the bracelet. If there is no coincidence between the vibration and the start of the ball movement, it is detected by the system as an incoherence and irregularity.
Sonido: El momento en que la pelota inicia su movimiento debe ser coherente con la recepción del sonido del golpe. En caso contrario se produce una incoherencia. Sound: The moment in which the ball begins its movement must be coherent with the reception of the sound of the hit. Otherwise, an inconsistency occurs.
Velocidad concordante: La velocidad del desplazamiento de la pulsera debe ser concordante con la velocidad de movimiento de la pelota. Una falta de concordancia entre uno y otro se detecta por el sistema como incoherencia. Concordant speed: The speed of movement of the bracelet must be concordant with the speed of movement of the ball. A mismatch between one and the other is detected by the system as inconsistency.
Medios de grabación de video o imagen, grabados por la propia pulsera del usuario sería un método opcional para visualizar que efectivamente es el usuario quien genera el golpe a la pelota. El sonar de la pulsera complementa la autenticación del golpeado verificando que no hay ninguna persona en el entorno del jugador que pueda interferir en la partida. Si la hay el sistema detectaría una irregularidad. Video or image recording media, recorded by the user's own bracelet, would be an optional method to visualize that it is indeed the user who generates the hit to the ball. The sonar of the bracelet complements the authentication of the hit, verifying that there is no person in the player's environment who could interfere with the game. If there is, the system would detect an irregularity.
Tras el golpe, la pelota va perdiendo velocidad de manera progresiva hasta que se detiene. Si se diera una variación anómala del descenso de velocidad o una velocidad constante durante un espacio de tiempo prolongado, el sistema lo detecta como irregularidad. After the hit, the ball progressively slows down until it stops. If there is an anomalous variation of the speed decrease or a constant speed for a long period of time, the system detects it as an irregularity.
La existencia de una incoherencia o una irregularidad impide al sistema validar el golpe. 5.- Una quinta etapa de verificación de la entrada de la pelota en el hoyo y posicionamiento del hoyo. The existence of an inconsistency or an irregularity prevents the system from validating the coup. 5.- A fifth stage of verification of the entry of the ball into the hole and positioning of the hole.
El movimiento de remolino que hace la pelota al entrar en el hoyo es recogido por el acelerómetro y, al estar en contacto con la pulsera con GPS, puede determinarse la posición del hoyo. The swirling motion that the ball makes as it enters the hole is picked up by the accelerometer and, by being in contact with the GPS bracelet, the position of the hole can be determined.
Opcionalmente puede medirse la profundidad del hoyo. Optionally the depth of the hole can be measured.
Si la pelota está en un hoyo -previamente localizado- y no ha existido ese movimiento de remolino, el sistema detecta una irregularidad. If the ball is in a hole - previously located - and there has not been this swirling movement, the system detects an irregularity.
La existencia de una incoherencia o una irregularidad impide al sistema validar el golpe. Las partidas del usuario van quedando registradas en una base de datos y van generando perfiles -de juego, de movimientos, posición, velocidades o distancias entre otros datos- de ese usuario que lo identifican y hacen más difícil su suplantación. The existence of an inconsistency or an irregularity prevents the system from validating the coup. The user's games are being registered in a database and they are generating profiles -of game, movements, position, speeds or distances among other data- of that user that identify him and make his impersonation more difficult.
Las partidas de todos los usuarios van quedando registradas para poder comparar y comprobar los movimientos de un usuario con el resto de usuarios para examinar en profundidad aquellos parámetros que se salen de la norma habitual y hacer todavía más difícil la suplantación. The games of all users are being recorded to be able to compare and check the movements of a user with the rest of the users to examine in depth those parameters that go outside the usual norm and make impersonation even more difficult.
En el caso que la pelota deba apartarse manualmente el sistema comprende un geomarcador de posición electrónico que se posiciona transitoriamente en el lugar de la pelota, conectándose pelota y geomarcador inalámbricamente e intercambiándose entre ellos, sin que este geomarcador pueda moverse ya que dispone de un acelerómetro que registra el movimiento, hasta que se vuelva a intercambiar el geomarcador con la pelota para continuar con el juego. In the event that the ball must be moved away manually, the system includes an electronic position marker that is temporarily positioned in the place of the ball, connecting the ball and the geo marker wirelessly and exchanging between them, without this geo marker being able to move since it has an accelerometer. that records the movement, until the geomarker is exchanged with the ball again to continue the game.
Después de cada golpe, pulsera y pelota pierden la conexión que recuperan poco después. After each hit, bracelet and ball lose the connection that they regain shortly after.
