Abstract

Systems and methods for structures used in performing a sport are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, individual structure blocks of the two or more structure blocks can include an upper layer, a shock absorption layer that is below the upper layer, and a cell-support layer that is below the shock absorption layer, the upper layer having at least a friction feature, where the upper layer, the shock absorption layer, and the cell-support layer may couple together with corresponding layers of other structure blocks upon the two or more structure blocks being associated together, and where the shock absorption layer includes separate shock absorbing components that are individually associated to the upper layer and to the cell-support layer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A structure for use in performing a sport, comprising:
 two or more structure blocks to be associated together to form the structure, individual structure blocks of the two or more structure blocks to comprise an upper layer, a shock absorption layer that is below the upper layer, and a cell-support layer that is below the shock absorption layer, the upper layer having at least a friction feature, wherein the upper layer, the shock absorption layer, and the cell-support layer are to couple together with corresponding layers of other structure blocks upon the two or more structure blocks being associated together, and wherein the shock absorption layer is comprised of separate shock absorbing components that are individually associated to the upper layer and to the cell-support layer.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more of the rubber, plastic, or metal features being the separate shock absorbing components that are associated together to form the shock absorption layer.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 elevated ridges or surface irregularities to form the friction features.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 the elevated ridges or surface irregularities formed on or integrated within the upper layer.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 reels or a wire storage comprising conductive wire located on one or more ends of the two or more structure blocks, the conductive wire to be electrically coupled to provide conduction for at least scoring and lights associated with the sport.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an anti-slipping material to form at least a portion of an underlayer that is below the cell-support layer, the anti-slipping material to prevent movement of the structure and to protect a floor under the structure.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 translucent or transparent plastic or glass to form at least a portion of the upper layer.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 the translucent or transparent plastic or glass comprising surface irregularities to form at least a portion of the friction feature.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 the translucent or transparent plastic or glass comprising lights there under or there within, the lights to allow illumination by one or more signals from a computing device, the one or more signals to be provided between the computing device and the lights.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 rigid hollow cells in a honeycomb or a corrugated formation to be associated together to form the cell-support layer.   
     
     
         11 . A method to be used for a structure to perform a sport, comprising:
 enabling individual structure blocks of two or more structure blocks to comprise an upper layer, a shock absorption layer that is below the upper layer, and a cell-support layer that is below the shock absorption layer, the upper layer having at least a friction feature, wherein the shock absorption layer is comprised of separate shock absorbing components that are individually associated to the upper layer and to the cell-support layer; and   associating the two or more structure blocks together to form the structure for performing the sport, wherein the upper layer, the shock absorption layer, and the cell-support layer couple together with corresponding layers of other structure blocks upon the two or more structure blocks being associated together to form the structure.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 associating one or more of rubber, plastic, or metal features, as the separate shock absorbing components, together to form the shock absorption layer.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 enabling elevated ridges or surface irregularities to form the friction feature.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 forming the elevated ridges or surface irregularities on or integrated with the upper layer.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 locating reels or a wire storage comprising conductive wire on one or more ends of the two or more structure blocks; and   enabling the conductive wire to be electrically coupled to provide conduction for at least scoring and lights associated with the sport.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 enabling an anti-slipping material to form at least a portion of the underlayer that is under a cell-support layer, the anti-slipping material to prevent movement of the structure and to protect a floor under the structure.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 enabling a translucent or transparent plastic or glass to form at least a portion of the upper layer.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 enabling the translucent or transparent plastic or glass to comprise surface irregularities that form at least a portion of the friction feature.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 allowing illumination by one or more signals from a computing device to lights under or within the translucent or transparent plastic or glass, the one or more signals to be provided between the computing device and the lights.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 associating together rigid hollow cells in a honeycomb or a corrugated formation to form the cell-support layer.
