method for determining whether a player has scored a point, and system for tracking players and a gameplay object.

摘要

A venue and event tracking system includes radio-enabled anchors and tags on a playing field, for example, a basketball court. Labels are affixed to players and to balls or other gameplay objects. The system determines the space location of each label. For tags attached to gameplay objects, the system assesses proximity to players to estimate ownership of the gameplay object. If the gameplay object tag is not close enough to a player for the player to have possession of the object, the position of the gameplay object is evaluated to determine if the gameplay object is in a region of the goal zone. if this is the case and the gameplay object was within a trial zone, that is, a subzone within the goal zone region, then the system determines if a point was made by assessing whether the gameplay object passed in order through a number of subregions before, at, and after the dot.
