Data Processing System For Automatically Generating Excitement Levels With Improved Response Times Using Prospective Data
A data processing system automatically generates excitement levels with improved response times using prospective data. One embodiment includes accessing data that provides state information for an event at different times during the event, automatically generating a plurality of excitement levels based on the accessed data, and reporting the generated excitement levels. Each of the excitement levels of the plurality of excitement levels corresponds to a different sample time during the event. For each sample time, the generating of the plurality of excitement levels comprises calculating an excitement level based on accessed data prior in time to the sample time and accessed data subsequent in time to the sample time.

- 1. A method, comprising:
accessing data that provides state information for an event at different times during the event; automatically generating a plurality of excitement levels based on the accessed data, each of the excitement levels of the plurality of excitement levels corresponds to a different sample time during the event, for each sample time the automatic generating of a respective one of the plurality of excitement levels comprises calculating an excitement level based on accessed data prior in time to the sample time and on accessed data subsequent in time to the sample time; and reporting the generated excitement levels.
- 10. An apparatus, comprising:
a data storage system configured to store data that provides state information for an event at different times during the event; and one or more processors in communication with the data storage system and configured such that, for each sample time of a set of sample times during the event the one or more processors automatically generate a sample time excitement level for the event based on accessed data available prior in time to the sample time and based on accessed data available only subsequent in time to the sample time.
- 22. One or more processor readable storage devices storing processor readable code thereon, the processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
accessing data that provides state information for an event at different times during the event; generating a plurality of excitement levels based on the accessed data, where each of the excitement levels of the generated plurality of excitement levels corresponds to a different sample time during the event, where for each sample time the respective generating of the corresponding excitement level comprises determining an excitement level based on accessed data available prior in time to the sample time and accessed data available only subsequent in time to the sample time; and reporting the generated excitement levels.
- 26. An apparatus, comprising:
a data storage system configured to store data that includes a plurality of records, each record of the plurality providing state information for an event, the provided state information indicating states of the event at different times during the event; and one or more processors in communication with the data storage system, the one or more processors being configured to receive a stream of input data comprising information about occurrences within the event and to transform the received stream of input data to the plurality of records, at least one of the processors being configured such that, for each sample time of a set of sample times during the event, the at least one processor generates attribute scores for the sample time for a set of performance attributes based on records from the set of data available prior in time and records from the set of data available only later in time relative to the sample time and, for each sample time of the set of sample times during the event the at least one processor generates a composite score as a function of the generated attribute scores for the sample time, where at least one of the one or more processors is configured to report the generated sample time excitement levels to a remote computing device.
