sports competition application system, and the sports competition
application system includes a Bluetooth transceiver device 1 and
Bluetooth read-write devices 30-32. In the present invention, the
Bluetooth transceiver device 1 and the Bluetooth read-write devices
30-32 are Bluetooth low energy devices. In this embodiment, the
Bluetooth transceiver device 1 includes a sensor 10, a storage unit
11, a Bluetooth transceiver chip 12, a microprocessor 13, a battery
14 and a substrate 15. The Bluetooth transceiver chip 12 is
utilized for a inter communication portion of the Bluetooth
transceiver device 1. The sensor 10 is utilized for sensing motion
signals of an user 2 (competitor), the Bluetooth transceiver chip
12 is utilized for communicating with the Bluetooth read-write
devices 30-32, the microprocessor 13 is utilized for controlling
components of the Bluetooth transceiver device 1, the storage unit
11 is utilized for accessing a code of the user 2 and motion
signals sensed by the sensor 10, the battery 14 is utilized bar
providing power supply. In some embodiments, the sensor 10 can be
an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a digital compass, and a global
positioning system (GPS). In this embodiment, the sensor 10, the
storage unit 11, the Bluetooth transceiver chip 12, the
microprocessor 13, and the battery 14 are all fixed on the
substrate 15.
[0034] In the present invention, the Bluetooth transceiver device 1
is installed in a strap device 21, the user 2 can wear the
Bluetooth transceiver device 1 by the strap device 21, in this
embodiment, the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 can be worn on a
wrist, an arm, a lower leg, waist, neck, bead, chest, a foot, and
clothes of the user 2.
[0035] In the present invention, the Bluetooth read-write devices
30-32 are utilized as a starting detection station 30, an
intermediate detection station 31, and a finishing detection
station 32, and the Bluetooth read-write devices 30-32 have cable
networking and wireless networking functions. Because the Bluetooth
read-write devices 30-32 are Bluetooth low energy device, so that
the starting detection station 30, the intermediate detection
station 31, and the finishing detection station 32 are low energy
Bluetooth detection stations. Signals of the Bluetooth transceiver
device 1 worn on competitor 2 are transmitted to a storage system
of the intermediate detection station 31 when the competitor 2
passes by the intermediate detection station 31. For example, code
of the competitor 2 is transmitted to the storage system of the
intermediate detection station 31, so that locations of the
competitor 2 can be accurately known, and the sports competition
progress monitoring arm safety management of the athlete can be
achieved also the need of human power can be reduced. In this
embodiment, the storage system can be a cloud database.
[0036] In a time trial, a start time and a finish time of the
competitor 2 have to be recorded accurately, for instance, a
marathon, a long-distance cycling race, a long-distance swim race,
and so on. Therefore, the starting detection station 30 and the
finishing detection station 32 are set in the start point and the
finish point respectively, and a plurality of Bluetooth read-write
devices (that is, major nodes) are set in every detection station,
each of the major nodes may scan more than 255 slave nodes, and
each of the slave nodes represents a competitor 2 respectively, and
the plurality of Bluetooth read-write devices can scan plural times
of the 255 slave nodes effectively, or the plurality of Bluetooth
read-write devices can achieve multiple scanning and
cross-comparison to prove the identity of every competitor 2.
[0037] In the time trial, when the competitor 2 passes by the start
point, a method of connecting and writing in is adopted, that is,
the competitor 2 is recorded by the way of scanning. When every
competitor 2 passes by the starting detection station 30, the
method of connecting and writing in is adopted to write in the time
when the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 is read to the starting
detecting station 30 and the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 worn by
the competitor 2 synchronously. Similarly, when every competitor 2
passes by the finishing detection station 12, identification number
in the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 worn by the competitor 2 can
be written in the finishing detection station 32 and the Bluetooth
transceiver device 1 worn by the competitor 2 at the same time, so
that the rank of the competitor 2 can be determined.
[0038] In the present embodiment, record accuracy of the start time
and the finish time of the sports competition is hundreds of a
second to milliseconds in accordance with a standard time.
[0039] By setting the intermediate detection station 31, conditions
of every competitor 2 can be obtained, so that including time of
the competitor 2 can be anticipated, if the competitor 2 doesn't
appear on time, the competitor 2 can be determined encountering
unexpected situations, staffs of the sports competition should
check it immediately. In this embodiment, a plurality of
intermediate detection stations 31 may be set, that is, the
plurality of intermediate detection stations 31 can be set every
1000 meters an intermediate detection station 31 on the racing
route, if the racing route is 10 kilometers, then the number of the
intermediate detection station 31 is ten. The intermediate
detection station 31 can be set every 2 kilometers an intermediate
detection station 31 in the longer range racing like marathon and
cycling races. In addition, each intermediate detection station 31
must have at least one computer which can connect to network in
cable or wireless manners, and the computer can preferably include
a dongle corresponding to an erasable Bluetooth transceiver device
1, or a built-in a chip of the erasable Bluetooth transceiver
device 1, and a long lasting battery.
[0040] In every kind of sports, competitor 2 may provide some basic
data when they apply for racings, for instance, name, photograph,
personal identity (personal ID number, student card number,
driver's license number, employee ID number, barcode of the
personal ID, fingerprint), birthday, gender body weight, height,
EMI (Body Mass Index), steps, and so on. The Bluetooth transceiver
device 1 of the present invention can record the above-mentioned
data; especially photograph in JPEG format, so that the competitor
2 can be identified conveniently.
[0041] The Bluetooth transceiver device 1 of the present invention
can further be integrated with a barcode of personal identification
or radio frequency identification (RFID), when the competitor 2
provides personal identification, the barcode or label ID can be
obtained through barcode scanner or radio frequency identification
(RFID) tag reader and be stored in the Bluetooth transceiver device
1 of the present invention, the Bluetooth read-write devices 30-32,
and storage system. For a convenient usage, the above-mentioned
barcode scanner err RFID tag reader can be integrated with the
Bluetooth read-write devices 30-32 of the present invention.
[0042] In the present embodiment, main component of the Bluetooth
transceiver device 1 can be T1 CC2540 or CC2560 which are produced
by TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, and a triaxial accelerometer and a button
cell CR2032 are integrated with the main component to become the
Bluetooth transceiver device 1.
[0043] The Bluetooth transceiver device 1 and the Bluetooth
read-write devices 30-32 of the present invention both have an
advantage of fast response. A low energy Bluetooth 4.0 only spends
7.5 microseconds from a non-connection state to transmitting data
starting according to the following such as, a Bluetooth report,
Texas Instruments CC2540 Bluetooth.RTM. Low Energy Software
Developer's Guide v1.0, 2010. A formula about efficacious
connecting time=(Connection Interval)*(1+(Slave Latency)) is
complied.
[0044] A minimum value of the connection Interval is 6 (7.5
microseconds) and a maximum value of the connection interval is
3200 (4 seconds). A minimum value of the slave latency is 0 and a
maximum value of the slave latency is 499.
[0045] Therefore, if the low energy Bluetooth 4.0 is utilized as a
timer, the start time and the finish time of the competitor 2 can
be recorded accurately, the accuracy can be close to a hundredth of
a second. In addition, adopting a scanning method to detect a
Bluetooth identification number in the Bluetooth transceiver device
1 of the competitor 2 can make the response time faster.
[0046] The main component utilized in the present invention has an
advantage of a non-volatile recording. Data storage an hour is 10.8
Kbyte/hour, for instance, sampling 1 second every 10 seconds and
sampling 10 times every seconds and 30 byte every time, and the TI
CC2540 has a flash storage for 64 Kbyte, recording time can be more
than 6 hours and can meet the time for a standard marathon.
[0047] The present invention further has an advantage of able to
compare exercise patterns. When every person is walking or running,
arms of each of the person have different amplitudes and
directions, therefore, the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 with the
triaxial accelerometer can measure accelerations of every axis
directions. FIGS. 4(A)-(C) illustrate diagrams of recording arm's
acceleration amplitudes of triaxial directions. When three athletes
do exercises or participate in races, 10 times of the arms
amplitudes are recorded, after comparing, differences of the arms
amplitudes between the three athletes can be discovered apparently.
Ratios between the triaxial directions, Ax:Ay:Az, can be utilized
for distinguishing whether the sampling records are belonged to the
same athlete. If features of time series, for instance, standard
deviation, maximum value, average value, and derivative maximum
value, can be transformed into FFT, features of frequency series,
for instance, amplitude maximum, value, frequency when the
amplitude is at maximum value, and frequency spectrum energy, can
be discovered. In this embodiment, a structure of an exercise
patterns recognition system can be considered in two parts: 1.
training of motion signals samples; 2. motion signals testing. In
conceptions of exercise recognition, an unknown exercise pattern is
executed pattern recognition with a pro-set exercise pattern model;
the steps of the process are as follows: 1. a signal processing
skill is utilized, and an input characteristic value of the
exercise pattern is captured; 2. the captured characteristic value
is stored as a reference sample during the period of the training
process; 3. a characteristic value of an unknown exercise pattern
is processed to become an under resting sample, the under testing
sample is compared with the reference sample to obtain a difference
between the under testing sample and the reference sample; 4. a
result can be determined according to the difference in every
proper decision roles. The exercise pattern is the motion signal
sensed by the sensor 10 of the Bluetooth transceiver device 1 of
every competitor 2, and the exercise pattern includes regular and
irregular feature signals which are produced when the competitor 2
moves the at least one Bluetooth transceiver device worn on the
arms.
[0048] In aspect of exercise pattern recognition, a technic of MFCC
(Mel-scale Frequency Cepstral Coefficient) or a Wavelet Theory can
be adopted in first part to capture characteristic parameters of
the exercise pattern of the an athlete. A GMM (Gaussian Mixture
Model) is adopted in second part to establish an exercise pattern
model of the athlete. Exercise pattern signals comparison and
recognition are executed in third part. Exercise pattern signals
have a continuous characteristic, so that analysis cannot be
executed with only single sampling result. Maximum a Posteriori
Criterion or GVQ (Group Vector Quantization) can be adopted in this
part, and population characteristics in a small range are
emphasized in the training process of GVQ. The trained GMM can be a
center of a small range group gathering, so that the GVQ like a VQ
ANN (Artificial Neural Network) with competitive learning methods
can calculate parameter passing possibilities with statistics model
as the same way with the traditional VQ method, and an advantage of
maintaining high classifying correctness of the ANN. A calculation
method of improved GVQ not only keeps mechanism of inputting
characteristic parameters into LVQ network in division by CVQ, but
also is added a conditional overall training mechanism to compare
overall motion signals.
[0049] In addition, a recognition engine of the present invention
can recognize athletes or competitors through a back-propagation
neural network. The back-propagation neural network can be achieved
by hardware. By the above-mentioned way, feature capturing and
recognition of the recognition system can be achieved by hardware,
and the way is more efficacious than achieving it by software.
[0050] The occurrences of pinch runners or substitute runners in
long-distance sports competitions can be avoided, as long as the
exercise patterns of the competitors are stored in advance, so as
to be used to check against the exercise patterns of the
competitors recorded in every detection station. When the
competitors reach the finish point, the recorded exercise patterns
during an entire racing time can be analyzed, and the competitor
can be easily identified by the pre-stored exercise patterns. The
competitor can wear wrist strap and ankle strap with Bluetooth
transceiver device synchronously to record compatibility of the
competitor during exercise time, and the wrist strap and ankle
strap with Bluetooth transceiver device can be a self-trained
device, and the recorded exercise patterns can be a basis for
accentuation training. Although the above-mentioned example is
marathon, the wrist strap and ankle strap with Bluetooth
transceiver device can also be utilized in long-distance cycling
races, long-distance swim races, and an ironman triathlon.
[0051] The present invention has been disclosed as the preferred
