1. A system for determining a game scenario in a sports game, the system comprising
a player module being attachable to a player,
an equipment module being attachable to a sports equipment to be used in said sports game, and
a computing unit for receiving player based data from the player module and equipment based data from the equipment module, the player based data representing an activity profile of the player and the equipment based data representing a motion profile of the equipment,
wherein the player module comprises a player sensor device configured to provide raw measurement data associated with the player to which the player module is attached, wherein the player module is configured to perform a feature extraction of the raw measurement data for determining, based on one or more extracted features, one or more physical events being executable by the player,
wherein the player module is configured
to determine the activity profile of the player based on the extracted one or more features and/or based on the determined one or more physical events, and
to transmit the activity profile as the player based data to the computing unit, and/or
to transmit the extracted one or more features and/or the determined one or more physical events to the computing unit for determining the activity profile of the player,
wherein the equipment module comprises an equipment sensor device configured to provide raw measurement data associated with the equipment to which the equipment module is attached, wherein the equipment module is configured to perform a feature extraction of the raw measurement data for determining, based on one or more extracted features, one or more physical events being executable by or exertable on the equipment,
wherein the equipment module is configured
to determine the motion profile of the equipment based on a plurality of consecutive features and/or based on a plurality of consecutive physical events, and to transmit the motion profile as the equipment based data to the computing unit, and/or
to transmit the plurality of consecutive features and/or the plurality of consecutive physical events to the computing unit for determining the motion profile of the equipment,
wherein the player module is configured to determine the player based data during a predetermined time window, and wherein the equipment module is configured to determine the equipment based data during a predetermined time window, and wherein the computing unit is configured to timely synchronize the received player based data and the received equipment based data such that the time windows of the player based data and of the equipment based data at least partially overlap in a time domain, and
wherein the computing unit comprises a Game Scenario Classification Stage that is configured to combine the activity profile of the player with the motion profile of the equipment so as to classify the activity profile of the player and the motion profile of the equipment into one of a plurality of game scenarios involving the player and the equipment.
