TopIntroduction
A new generation of information technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and big data technology have penetrated all aspects surrounding smart sports venues. The application of new technologies can greatly improve the efficiency of comprehensive commands and use. To provide linked services to the wider populace, transport systems combine the IoT with a range of applications, interface designs, or telecommunication systems. A system of interconnected gadgets, or the IoT, exchanges information and communication.
Smart city frameworks (i.e., smart security, smart fire safety, or smart traffic management) and the new generation of information technologies work together to upgrade sports businesses and applications. This effort results in improved user and customer experiences. Smart sports venues use the IoT, big data technology, and in-depth applications to promote smart venues and new infrastructure links. For instance, wearable technology like smart clothing can record biomechanics (i.e., pulse rate or motion) to track progress and monitor health information.
The intelligent construction of sports venues is a growing research interest. Zhang and Breedlove (2021) discussed the need for sports organizations to focus on consumers and emerging technologies. The study found that modern digital technologies (i.e., IoT, data analysis, and wearable devices) can help sports organizations optimize their business and operational capabilities. This, in turn, can enhance brand building, channel integration, service processes, and organizational structure (Zhang & Breedlove, 2021).
It is important to coordinate the venue’s atmosphere and tone with its targeted demographic. With the help of computer network technology, Xiao-wei (2020) designed the Sports Culture Center’s intelligent system architecture and intelligent interconnected subsystems. This project used information integration and data application networks for resource sharing and upgraded funcionality. The results achieved a substantial increase in passenger flow and provided effective ways to make the service of sports and cultural centers more intelligent (Xiao-wei, 2020).
He et al. (2018) explored the operating platform technology group, structured query language server 2005 database, and Microsoft server operating system. Cloud-based technologies and services through Microsoft can be utilized to create and implement smartphone and internet applications. For example, Microsoft Azure provides a range of amenities for developing and delivering large, secure programs. In addition, the research built a university sports network service platform based on Microsoft’s operating platform technology. Relevant theories and methods of sports system engineering were adopted in the design and development of the platform, including system functions, information data, target behavior, and other scientific controls (He et al., 2018).
Lei et al. (2019) used methods discussed in the literature, expert interviews, and inductions to analyze the role of intelligent sports on the development of Chinese martial arts. Their research explored innovative methods and measures, aiming to provide reference for the sustainable development of Chinese martial arts (Lei et al., 2019). These studies have certain significance for the sustainable development of sports.
Gao (2019) used investigation, interview, and data consultation to analyze indoor badminton courts in colleges and universities in Gansu Province. The results showed weak innovation of sports venues in Gansu universities. The overall efficiency of indoor badminton courts was not high. It was suggested to develop “Internet + school gymnasium,” a public service software, to realize the commercialization, informatization, and scientific and technological intelligent management of the gymnasium with the IoT to improve the management of courts in colleges and universities (Gao, 2019).
