Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
a data network;
a message broker in data communication on the data network;
a subscriber platform in data communication on the data network; and
a signal generator including a data processor and a network interface, in data communication with the data processor, for communication on the data network, the signal generator including a sensor subsystem, the signal generator configured to:
detect at least one event of a plurality of different types of sporting official events produced by a sporting official at a sporting activity by use of a signal generator with a data processor and a sensor subsystem, the at least one sporting official event detection of the plurality of different types of sporting official events being triggered by one or more sensors of the sensor subsystem detecting a signal exceeding a pre-defined threshold;
generate a signal message including information indicative of the at least one sporting official event detection corresponding to the at least one event produced by the sporting official using the signal generator, the signal message including information indicative of at least one of the plurality of different types of sporting official events and a location from which the sporting official event originated;
categorize the signal message into one or more subscriber topics associated with the at least one sporting official event detection, wherein each of the one or more subscriber topics corresponds to a different sporting official event of the plurality of different types of sporting official events;
establish, by use of the data processor, a connection with the data network via the network interface;
send the signal message to the message broker via the data network; and
cause the message broker to forward the signal message to the subscriber platform, wherein only subscriber platforms that have subscribed to the one or more subscriber topics into which the signal message has been categorized receive the forwarded signal message.
