Abstract:
Systems and methods for lap timing and counting in athletic events are disclosed. The systems and methods do not require the athlete to wear a counter/timer, a transmitter, a reflector or another kind of marker. A portable computing device with a sensor, such as a tablet computer with a camera, is positioned in an appropriate location. Data from the sensor is transformed into a time series of data, and one or more learned statistics are calculated in real time as benchmark ambient conditions. The learned statistics are essentially continuously updated and data that indicates irrelevant volatility is excluded. A detection threshold is determined and essentially continuously updated based on the learned statistics, and lap completion is determined based on the threshold. Times, lap counts, and other data are displayed on the portable device in real time.

Claim (Index 31):
A system, comprising:\n a tag adapted to be attached to a swimmer; and a computing device adapted to be placed in a fixed location remote from the tagged swimmer to detect the tagged swimmer, the computing device including\n at least one sensor adapted to perceive energy reflected from or transmitted by the tag, and \n a set of computer-readable instructions on a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to or associated with the computing device that, when executed on the computing device, cause the computing device to\n create a time series model of conditions measured by the at least one sensor and update the model continuously in real time, and \n detect that the tagged swimmer has passed the defined point in real time using the computing device by identifying a deviation in the conditions measured by the at least one sensor using the model.
