Improved notification of sports events - transmitting signals from sports instruments to processor which produces information for display in light bar form

Abstract

Abstract The method involves transmitting or recording sports events using media technology. Sports equipment contain at least one transmitter whose transmitted signals are received by receivers and passed into an electronic processor for evaluation of the position of each instrument. The positional data are processed to yield additional information which are transferred using media technology and presented for viewing by the spectators. The information derived from the position data can be displayed after a delay period and/or a holding time. USE/ADVANTAGE - For improved presentation of sports events, esp. for rapid games such as ice hockey, during course of contest. Information holding time is chosen to extinguish light trace.
