ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

2. Description of the Related Art
Recently, the concept of the sports game has changed from a simple TV broadcasting into a participating one according to the rapid development of the internet, and the function of the TV broadcasting also has changed from a one way suppliance to TV viewers into an interactive one with them due to the remarkable development of information and communication technologies.
Therefore, all kinds of sports information wanted by users and various service function that the users can participate themselves for enjoyment as well are provided. A number of exciting worldwide sports sites that are taking place every moment can be experienced with a simple clicking.
Therefore, together with the remarkable development of the internet, desires about information of the sports, dissatisfactions about the one way appliance of game regulations in the game management and doubts about the fairness about the games are increasing, and desires to know about the fabricated outcome and other fair play related things are also increasing.
Also, in sports broadcastings using internet media, even if a terminal or a monitor can provide exciting and vivid feelings as real time transmission technologies of dynamic images have been gradually developed, there is no system that evaluates the erroneous management and the partial judgment through a real time monitoring of the game. The analysis is simply treated in the sports sections of newspapers after the game. Actually, the partial judgment or other things which are disputable of the fairness can be easily forgotten as time passes.
In every sports game, the referees or the coaching staffs who manage the game do not gain interests while all the attentions tend to be centered to players. So, the fairness and the pertinency of the referees' judgments and the coaching staffs' managements may not be properly evaluated.
Also, though there are misjudgments or partial judges, there are no records about the referees if they are not punished in a disciplinary committee by a strong protest such as an audience riot or an examination request from coaches so that the referees can appear in another game and make wrong judgments thereby causing blames from a number of people.
Therefore, though the audience and the TV viewers simply immerse themselves into the players, however the players are suffering again since they should try to read the mind of the coaching staffs and the referees while endeavoring to enhance the capability at the same time. Such a practice can be a hindrance against the development of the sports.

300
evaluation points through an evaluation form previously given according to situation while broadcasting game images through broadcasting media including the internet; temporarily storing in the web server
300
the evaluation points and continuously accumulating until the game is over; and if the game is over, inspecting in the web server
300
if there is a violation against the evaluation standard of a fairness evaluation reference database
700
, storing the evaluation points as data about pertinent person of the referee/coaching staff database
