Abstract:
A method for generating computer simulation information about a live event that is composed of a sequence of discrete sub-events wherein a set of rules governs the event so that a status change resulting from the occurrence of a sub-event is determined by the set of rules, comprising the steps of:generating a sequence of symbolic descriptions, each description being a representation of one of the discrete sub-events, and includes at least one symbol from a set of symbols, said set of symbols being useful in a computer simulation, wherein each symbol is representative of an action involving physical exertion and skill and wherein said symbol represents information to be used in a computer simulation to effect a change in an indicated status of an event in connection with a computer simulation program that operates in accordance with the set of rules governing the event;creating transmission data from the generated sequence of symbolic descriptions; andbroadcasting said transmission data.
