Intelligent sports video and data generation from ai recognition events

Abstract

An intelligent sports video and data generating system using AI detection engines in Sports Detection Devices, broadcasting commands that incorporate global time stamp information to a plurality of the Sports Detection Devices, such that the recorded sports action data can be time-aligned with video data, wherein an automatically spliced together video or data set can be generated based on the parameters of an input query.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips comprising the steps of:
 receiving an input query, wherein the input query includes at least one of: a request about a player, a sports session, and type of sports action;   identifying sensed sports data based on the input query from a sensed sports data database;   identifying video clips based on the identified sensed sports data from a video data database, wherein each set of video data associated therewith has an associated global time stamp;   automatically splicing the identified video clips into an edited video.   
     
     
         2 . The computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips of  claim 1 , wherein the sensed sports data associated with sensed sports data database is generating from a plurality of sports detection devices, each sports detection device configured to determine when a particular sports action has occurred. 
     
     
         3 . The computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips of  claim 1 , wherein each sports device is associated with a particular player profile during a sports session, and wherein each sports session is initiated by broadcasting a global time stamp. 
     
     
         4 . The computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of automatically annotating the edited video based on the input query. 
     
     
         5 . The computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips of  claim 4 , wherein the annotating can include at least one of type, length, and measured data associated with a given sports action. 
     
     
         6 . The computer implemented method of generating spliced sports video clips of  claim 1 , further including the step of displaying the generated edited video. 
     
     
         7 . An intelligent video and data generation system comprising:
 an interface configured to receive an input query including parameters about a sports action;   a sensed sports data database, having sensed sports data generated from a plurality of sports detection devices, each sports detection device having an AI recognition engine integrated therein and configured to receive a command including global time stamp information;   a video data database, wherein the video data includes global time stamped information; and   a processor configured to time align the sensed sports data and the video data based on the global time stamp.   
     
     
         8 . The intelligent video and data generation system of  claim 7 , wherein the processer can identify relevant video data based on the input query and the time-aligned video data and sensed sports data. 
     
     
         9 . The intelligent video and data generation system of  claim 8 , wherein the processer can further generate a spliced video for viewing of the relevant video data. 
     
     
         10 . The intelligent video and data generation system of  claim 7 , wherein the input query further includes parameters about video data. 
     
     
         11 . The intelligent video and data generation system of  claim 7 , further including the step of identifying and generating a video. 
     
     
         12 . A method of communicating with a plurality of sports detection devices comprising the steps of:
 broadcasting from a mobile computing device a command that includes a global time stamp as part of the command to a plurality sports detection devices;   generating on each sports detection that received the command device a session identification number based on the broadcast global time stamp, wherein the session identification number is associated with a sports session;   generating a plurality of local time stamps in response to the generated session identification number;   sending an outbound broadcast from each of the plurality of sports detection devices indicative that each received the broadcast command from the mobile computing device;   rebroadcasting the command periodically from the mobile computing device; and   receiving by at least one additional Sports Detection Device the rebroadcast command or the outbound response, and generating the associated session identification associated with the sports session on the additional Sports Detection Device.
