Original Abstract Submitted
a pickleball scorekeeping system includes wearable devices that use speech recognition to interpret and display the scores called out in the game. each device is pairable with other devices, such that the called-out score is distributed and displayed to other players using wireless communications circuitry. the scores on each device are displayed in order as the score of the serving team and the score of the receiving team so that each player sees the score from their perspective. each device is also capable of recognizing and indicating the serve number. the sequence of numbers is displayed in response to a voice command or activation of the user control. a system may include a sideline unit operative to wirelessly receive and display player and score information to spectators. the sideline unit may also serve as a base station for device charging, wifi communications, and/or internet distribution of scores and other functions.
