,TagSPECI:TECHNIAL FIELD
The present subject matter described herein, in general, relates to electronically controlled access/monitoring system in sports, and more particularly to methods and system for monitoring of events during any activity that may include but not limited to sports such as cricket and the like.

BACKGROUND
The Inventors of this application has noticed that, in certain events in the sport such as cricket, it is difficult for a person or even a television umpire, or a so-called "third umpire", to conclude the exact moment that the certain events has occurred for example, the moment at which the wicket has been broken. This finds particular relevance in the determination by the television umpire of whether or not a player or batsman has been "stumped" or "run out" in circumstances where the wickets, and more specifically the stumps and/or bails, are not visible from view at a critical moment during a television replay. According to the rules of cricket sport, the benefit of doubt must then be given to the batsman and a verdict of "not out" given. It is to be appreciated that, in reality, the batsman may well not have been safely within his crease at the time that the wicket was broken.

There are various highly advanced technologies proposed and available in the market that assists the umpires to come to some conclusion during the play. These technologies may include hidden cameras in the stumps or balls to detect or monitor the impact of the object i.e., the ball with the wickets. Further, there are also available various technologies like sound recorders hidden inside the stumps or bails or balls that may capture or detect or monitor the sound at the time of collision between the ball and wicket occurs.

6. Operating voltage - 3volts (max) ( 2 no’s of AA type batteries).
7. Operating Switch - Leaf Spring.
8. Operations: Leaf – Spring loaded operating switch, which gets activated due to any small and adequate bump / vibration and trigger the operation of the Microcontroller software which is in Rest-Mode and the Microcontroller comes out of the Rest-mode and start giving the output to the LEDs to glow LED in different type of sequence as defined by the manufacturer for a given time period as defined by the manufacturer typically 15 to 25 sec. After the glowing sequence of the LEDs are completed the operations halts and go into energy saving made so that the battery drainage is at the minimum in the Rest –Mode (also known as Power saving Mode).

In one implementation, Bails Specification may include the following components,
1. LED (Light Emitting Diode): 3 no’s of Frosted Red LEDs in one Bail.
a. Visible Output Color = Red color (color code - 620 – 630nm)
b. Luminous Intensity = 1000 – 1200 lumens (Ultra bright Red)
c. Viewing Angle = 120 degree.
d. Forward voltage = 1.8 - 2.2 v.
e. Typical Current = 20 mA
2. Printed Circuit Board ( PCB) :- 2.062 x 0.906 inches ( approx)
a. Material = Glass Epoxy / Paper Epoxy
b. PCB Thickness = 1.5mm

3. Controlling Microcontroller Integrated Circuit : -
a. Make and number – Microchip Technology,
b. PIC 12F675.
4. Operating Battery systems : -
a. One no’s of type 3v Lithium- CR2032 button cell battery or equivalent slide-fitted in a slide in – battery case.
5. Software for the Microcontroller Integrated Circuit : -
a. Own developed Microcontroller driving software.
6. Operating voltage= 3volts (max) (One no of type-2032 type button cell battery).
7. Operating Switch: Leaf Spring.
8. Operations: Leaf – Spring loaded operating switch, which gets activated due to any small and adequate bump / vibration and trigger the operation of the Microcontroller software which is in Rest-Mode and the Microcontroller comes out of the Rest-mode and start giving the output to the LEDs to glow LED in different type of sequence as defined by the manufacturer for a given time period as defined by the manufacturer typically 15 to 25 sec.
