Real-time event feedback

摘要

Methods, systems and devices are provided for presenting event feedback information regarding participants to an event. A first radio of a first participant device carried by a first participant receives a first checkpoint communication from a checkpoint device at a first checkpoint located along a first course of the event. The first checkpoint communication includes a first checkpoint identifier and a first event time reflecting when the first participant crossed the first checkpoint. A first checkpoint event time is determined based upon the first checkpoint identifier and the first event time. Also, the first checkpoint event time is displayed on the first participant device. Further, a checkpoint device and an event server may be used to in presenting the event feedback information.

主权项

1. A device adapted to be carried by a first participant during an event for presenting feedback information associated with the first participant, the device comprising:
a first radio configured to receive a first checkpoint communication by way of a first communication network from a first checkpoint device at a first checkpoint located along a first course of the event, the first checkpoint communication including a first checkpoint identifier and a first event time reflecting when the first participant crossed the first checkpoint; a processor coupled to the first radio, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations to determine a first participant elapsed time based upon a first participant event start time and the first event time; a second radio coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the first participant elapsed time from the device to an event server by way of a second communication network bypassing the first checkpoint device, wherein the first communication network and the second communication network are distinct; and a display device coupled to the processor and configured to present the first participant elapsed time.
