Edge storage architecture for security in wireless sports scoring

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to wireless sport scoring. Aspects include detecting, by a sensor of a first user device, a scoring event between a first user and a second user and transmitting, by a wireless transmitter of the first user device, a signal indicating the scoring event to a scoring system. Aspects also include recording, in a memory of the first user device, a record of the scoring event and transmitting, by a wired transmitter of the first user device, the record of the scoring event to the scoring system based on detecting a wired connection between the first user device and the scoring system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method of wireless sport scoring, the method comprising:
 detecting, by a sensor of a first user device, a scoring event between a first user and a second user;   transmitting, by a wireless transmitter of the first user device, a signal indicating the scoring event to a scoring system;   recording, in a memory of the first user device, a record of the scoring event;   based on detecting a wired connection between the first user device and the scoring system, transmitting, by a wired transmitter of the first user device, the record of the scoring event to the scoring system.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising assigning an identification number to the scoring event by the first user device based on the detecting. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the signal indicating the scoring event includes the identification number. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the record of the scoring event includes the identification number. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the signal indicating the scoring event includes a timestamp indicating when the scoring event was detected. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the record of the scoring event includes a timestamp indicating when the scoring event was detected. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 recording, in a memory of the scoring system, a central record of the scoring event; and   reconciling, by the scoring system, the central record with the record received from the first user device.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising updating the central record based on the reconciliation. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the wireless transmitter of the first user device transmits the signal indicating the scoring event to the scoring system in real-time. 
     
     
         10 . A system comprising:
 a scoring system comprising a memory, a wired receiver and a wireless receiver;   a first user device comprising:
 a sensor for detecting a scoring event between a first user and a second user; 
 a memory configured to store a record of the scoring event; 
 a wireless transmitter configured to transmit a signal indicating the scoring event to the scoring system; and 
 a wired transmitter configured to transmit the record of the scoring event to the scoring system, based on detecting a wired connection between the first user device and the scoring system, 
   wherein the scoring system is configured to recording, in the memory of the scoring system, a central record of the scoring event and to reconcile the central record with the record received from the first user device.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the scoring system is configured to update the central record based on the reconciliation. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the first user device is configured to assign an identification number to the scoring event based on the detecting. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the signal indicating the scoring event includes the identification number. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the record of the scoring event includes the identification number. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the signal indicating the scoring event includes a timestamp indicating when the scoring event was detected. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the record of the scoring event includes a timestamp indicating when the scoring event was detected. 
     
     
         17 . A computer program product for wireless sport scoring comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
 detecting, by a sensor of a first user device, a scoring event between a first user and a second user;   transmitting, by a wireless transmitter of the first user device, a signal indicating the scoring event to a scoring system;   recording, in a memory of the first user device, a record of the scoring event;   based on detecting a wired connection between the first user device and the scoring system, transmitting, by a wired transmitter of the first user device, the record of the scoring event to the scoring system.   
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , further comprising assigning an identification number to the scoring event by the first user device based on the detecting. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 18 , wherein the signal indicating the scoring event includes the identification number. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 18 , wherein the record of the scoring event includes the identification number.
