Smart Cricket and Patents – Part I: The Smart Cricket Bat
Welcome to the first blog post of our series, "Smart Cricket and Patents." In this series, we will explore the intersection of technological advancements, patents, and the world of cricket. Each week, we will discuss a unique invention or technological breakthrough that has transformed the game in the modern era. Cricket has gained immense popularity not only in India but also in many other countries, and it has become a sport that captivates both men and women. With the aim of enhancing accuracy and fair play, numerous smart technologies have been introduced in cricket, ranging from camera systems embedded in stumps to sensor-integrated cricket balls and flashing bails.
The Evolution of Technological Advancements in Cricket:
Cricket has witnessed a significant evolution in technology, aiming to improve decision-making, enhance player performance, and provide a better viewing experience for fans. Let's explore some key technological advancements in cricket:
Stump Cameras: The introduction of cameras in stumps during the 1990s revolutionized cricket broadcasting, providing viewers with unique angles and a closer look at key moments in the game.
Flashing Bails: In 2014, international cricket saw the introduction of flashing bails, which are equipped with LED lights. These bails light up when the wicket is disturbed, aiding umpires in making accurate decisions regarding run-outs and stumpings.
Sensor-Integrated Chip in Ball: To analyze ball trajectory, speed, and spin, a sensor-integrated chip is embedded in the cricket ball. This technology enables precise tracking of the ball's movement and helps assess LBW (leg before wicket) decisions more accurately.
Patent Spotlight: WO2021044329A1 - The Smart Cricket Bat:
In this blog post, we shine a light on an intriguing invention covered by Patent Number WO2021044329A1. This patent discloses a smart cricket bat equipped with a variety of sensors. The smart cricket bat features an advanced electronic system comprising multiple sensors fused together to eliminate data bias. These sensors accurately measure various parameters, including the rate of change of velocity, angular speed, orientation of the bat, pressure exerted on the bat by the ball, pressure exerted on the handle unit by the batsman's grip during the swing, and audio signals. In addition, the electronic system incorporates a processing unit that analyzes the sensed data to calculate relevant batting metrics. Furthermore, a transceiver unit is integrated into the system, allowing the transmission of calculated metrics to the user's computing device for further analysis and evaluation. Experience the next level of cricketing performance with this cutting-edge smart cricket bat and its comprehensive electronic system.
