【発明の詳細な説明】
この発明は、マラソン競技における各ランナーごとの実
走行時間測定方式に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for measuring the actual running time of each runner in a marathon competition.
参加者が著しく多いマラソン競技においては、スタート
時刻から全ランナーがスタート・ラインを通過し終るま
でに数分間の時間を費やすので、最初のランナーと最後
のランナーとの間で各ランナーごとのスタート時刻が異
なっておシ、そのために、各ランナーごとの正確な実走
行時間を測定することは著しく困難であった。In marathon events with a large number of participants, it takes several minutes from the start time until all runners cross the starting line. Because of this, it was extremely difficult to measure the exact actual running time for each runner.
そこで、この発明は、このようなマラソン競技における
問題点を解決するために考えられたものであって、交番

の実走行時間を得るように構成したものである。Therefore, this invention was devised to solve these problems in marathon competitions, and when a laser beam modulated with a police box signal is received, a radio wave modulated with a unique identification number is generated. A transponder that transmits a signal is worn on each runner's shoulder or head, and reference points such as the start line and finish line are swept with a laser beam modulated by an alternating signal. By setting the time when the identification code received and transmitted at the start line is the start time, and the time when it is received at the finish line as the arrival time, the actual running time for each runner can be determined from the time between the two times. It is configured so that it can be obtained.

ている。As shown in Figure 2, each runner includes a photoelectric conversion element (5) such as a solar cell, and a band pass filter (6) that passes an alternating signal obtained from the photoelectric conversion element (5).
an identification number generator (7) activated by the output of the filter (6); and a transmitter (8) that transmits radio waves modulated by the number output of the identification number generator (7).
A transponder (10) consisting of an antenna (9) such as a loop antenna for transmitting the output of this transmitter (8) is worn. The coded number output generated by the identification number generator (7) represents the identification number for each runner, and is different for each responder (10).

よりなる受信系とを備えている。On the other hand, at the start line or goal, as shown in Figure 1, the transponder (10) is activated and the output of the alternating signal source (2) is used to receive the transmitted identification number. A laser light source (3) emits a brightness-modulated laser beam (19), and a laser beam (19) is started.
An optical system (1) consisting of a rotating reflector (4) that sweeps along a line or goal, and an antenna (11) and receiver (12) that receive radio waves transmitted from a transponder (10).
It is equipped with a receiving system consisting of:

A second memory (15) that stores the time output of the time signal generator (13) when received as data, and a computer (15) that processes the data stored in these two memories (14) and (15). 16)
This computer (16) has two memories (14)
, The actual running time of each runner is determined from the data stored in (15), and the actual running time is output for each runner, or the actual running time is arranged in order to determine the ranking. the printing device (17) and display device (18).

スタート・ラインやゴールなどの基準地点を、交番信号
で変調されだレーザ光線(19)で掃引しているので、
レーザ光線は、同時に複数個の応答器(10)へ入射す

同時に複数個の応答器より識別用番号を送信させること
がなく、レーザ光線(19)が入射した応答器(lのだ
けから識別用番号を送信させる。Since reference points such as the start line and goal are swept with a laser beam (19) modulated by an alternating signal,
Since the laser beam is not incident on multiple transponders (10) at the same time, but is incident on a single transponder (10),
The identification number is not transmitted from a plurality of transponders at the same time, but only from the transponder (l) on which the laser beam (19) is incident.

行時間を測定することができる。Therefore, in the receiver (12), each runner is serially assigned an identification number each time the runner passes, and the computer (16) processes the data stored in the memories (14) and (15). It is possible to measure the actual running time for each vehicle.
なお、各ランナーの中間ラップ・タイムをと9だい場合

モリを増設すればよいのである。Incidentally, to capture the intermediate lap times of each runner on a nine-time basis, it is sufficient to provide a device as shown in FIG. 1, and to add memory accordingly.

的、な効果をも奏することができる。As explained above, according to this invention, it is possible to accurately know the actual running time of each runner, so there is no need to start all together, and it is only necessary to start dispersed, which reduces confusion at the start. It also has the additional effect of being evasive.
