Real-time game tracking with a mobile device using artificial intelligence

This invention describes a system that uses a mobile phone's camera to track players in a multiplayer ball game. It employs artificial intelligence to analyze video frames, identify individual players by their movements, and determine their locations on the field in real-time. The patent specifically details using initial setup video to identify players, then tracking their positions and even detecting when a player attempts a shot and who made it.

Why it matters: Since 2019, mobile device processing power and on-device AI models for computer vision have dramatically improved, making real-time, multi-player pose estimation and tracking more accurate and efficient on a smartphone. This advancement directly addresses the core technical challenge of the invention.
