Advanced basketball training system

Abstract

The invention relates to an advanced basketball training system. The basketball training system includes a motorized rotatable backboard mounted on a column. The assembly further comprises a smart basketball capturing mechanism mounted on the rotatable backboard. The smart ball capturing mechanism is connected to a ball receiving mechanism. The ball receiving mechanism collects the ball when a shot attempt is missed or made, and is delivered inside the column. A ball propulsion mechanism is fixed at the base of the column for passing/propelling the ball back to the player at various distances. The system further comprises a polyolefin or thermoplastic elastomer/acrylic sports court flooring, overlaying LED and infrared panels, for displaying multiple line markings in correlation to the angle of the rotatable backboard and other parameters related to the sport. The systems operating system comprises high-speed camera technology, smart basketball GPS technology, infrared sensors, and augmented reality using AR glasses.

I/We claim: 
     
         1 . An advanced basketball training system comprises:
 a motorized rotatable backboard;   a smart ball capturing system;   a ball collection column;   a ball propulsion mechanism; and,   a control system   
       wherein, the motorized rotatable backboard comprises a round shape hoop used to collect a ball falling within the hoop, an adjustable carbon fiber L-shaped rods used to collect the ball falling outside of the hoop, and a ball receiving opening situated below the adjustable carbon fiber L-shaped rods used to collect balls dropped inside said hoop and said L-shaped rods, 
       wherein, the motorized rotatable backboard is mounted on the top of said ball collection column and said ball propulsion mechanism is situated inside the bottom of said ball collection column, 
       wherein, a ball collecting mechanism connects the ball receiving opening and the ball propulsion system through a guide rail and a hollow pipe placed inside said column. 
     
     
         2 . The motorized rotatable backboard as claimed in  claim 1 , adapted to rotate by keeping the hoop stationary using a belt and pulley mechanism comprises of a motor/actuator and a pulley, the rotatable backboard is mounted on the pulley being rotated via a motor. 
     
     
         3 . The motorized rotatable backboard as claimed in  claim 1 , adapted to rotate by keeping the hoop stationary using a sliding rail mechanism comprises two parallel guide rails, a sliding bar, a rotating assembly, and one or more motors/actuators, the one or more motors works synchronously, moves the sliding bar in the left, right, forward, and reverse directions, and rotates the rotating assembly at different angles, the backboard assembly is mounted on the rotating assembly so, rotation of the rotating assembly allows for the rotation of the backboard assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The advance basketball training system claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the motorized rotatable backboard provides a perspective view of the backboard in accordance with the position of a player in a court. 
     
     
         5 . The smart ball capturing system as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising carbon fiber L-shaped rods, these L-shaped rods are retrieving and opening with the help of a torsion spring placed on the back side of the backboard. 
     
     
         6 . The ball propulsion mechanism as claimed in  claim 1 , used for delivering the ball to a player comprising:
 a ball-receiving cup;   a fixed frame including a linear actuator to adjust the launch angle;   a moving frame including a camshaft and a motor to launch the ball;
 wherein the control system actuates the motor according to the player's positioning, height, and distance. 
   
     
     
         7 . The control system as claimed in  claim 1 , further configured to control the motor/actuator of the system and adapted to control motors by a control button, automatic by reading sensors signal, or by a software program. 
     
     
         8 . The control system as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a display to show system parameters;   sensors, including sensors for detecting positioning, height, and distance of the player and also for detecting the ball passed through the hoop; and,
 support for wireless connection and is adapted to control via a personal digital assistance (PDA) device or external communication device. 
   
     
     
         9 . The controls system as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising OS/HMI configured with high frame rate camera technology and a smart ball technology to pinpoint the exact speed, arc, angle of release of shot, and spin rate, to pinpoint whether the ball will go in the hoop or not. 
     
     
         10 . The advance basketball assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a flooring system that is customized with LED matrix board, wherein the features loaded matrix board is programmable, made with translucent polyolefins or thermoplastic elastomer.
