PocketTimer Description |
|
| |
PocketTimer is the timing component of our Palm-based race-timing solution, which can be used by itself or in conjunction with the other components of PocketTimer Pro for a more complete solution. Here are the features of PocketTimer:
Logging of times is done on the main screen, shown at right. The person doing race timing simply taps on the large on-screen number buttons with a stylus to record the bib (optional) of each racer, then taps the Record button to automatically record the current elapsed time. The screen features:
Continuous display of elapsed time
Continuous display of pace (if a distance has been entered for the event)
Display of the place of the upcoming racer.
A large Start button to start the timing, which then changes to Record to record each racer.
Large number buttons to enter the Bib of the approaching racer prior to pressing Record—easily used by inexperienced users, without the need for Graffiti (Palms handwriting recognition)
A way to indicate that the entered number is uncertain (if it cant be read clearly). Or, the user can just tap the Record button without entering a bib beforehand, and PocketTimer will record the time and a ? for the bib.
Simple deletion of the last entry if the Record button is hit in error, or if the user quickly realizes the racer was a bandit.
Quick swap of the last two bibs if a sprint to the finish changes the order after the user had keyed in the bib s.
Captured times can be reviewed, even while the event is in progress, by tapping on the Show button. |
