As shown in FIG. 1, the dart game apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a microphone 110, an input signal detector 120, a game controller 130, and a display 140. ).

The microphone 110 is a device that converts an input signal including voice into an electrical signal, and may include all microphones generally used. The microphone 110 generally performs a function of converting a human voice into an electrical signal, but in the present invention, it is used for firing a dart pin of a dart game.

The input signal input through the microphone 110 includes not only voice but also a flow of air input through the microphone. For example, the input signal includes not only a voice input toward the microphone (noise) but also a breathing out of the microphone (if the breath is controlled by exhalation). In other words, the input signal may be input by various methods including a game player yelling or blowing into the microphone.

The input signal detector 120 detects the strength of the input signal input through the microphone 110 and transmits the strength of the input signal to the game controller 130. The input signal detector 120 simply detects and calculates the strength of the input signal input through the microphone 110 and transmits the calculated signal to the game controller 130.

The display unit 140 displays a dart board and a launch pad for launching a dart pin. The dart board and the dart pin launch pad are respectively displayed on different parts of the display screen by a program. For example, the dart plate may be displayed at the center portion or the top center portion on the display screen, and the launch pad may be displayed at the bottom center portion of the screen. The dart board may be fixed to a predetermined portion on the screen, and the launch pad may be configured to control the first direction reciprocating motion at a constant speed within a predetermined range until the input signal is input.

The first direction may be a vertical direction or a horizontal direction based on the display screen.

According to another embodiment, the dart board may reciprocate and the launch pad may be fixed, and the dart board and the launch pad may be controlled to reciprocate simultaneously in different directions depending on the difficulty of the game.

The game controller 130 controls the dart board and the launch pad to be displayed on the screen of the display unit 140. In addition, the first direction reciprocating motion of the launch pad is controlled to be displayed on the screen.

When the input signal is input through the input signal detector 120, the game controller 130 controls the dart pin to be fired toward the dart board at the launch pad position at the input point of the input signal. . That is, the built-in program controls the dart pin to be fired toward the dart plate through the launch pad while the launch pad moves in a second direction crossing the first direction in response to the intensity (size) of the input signal. Since the launch pad is already in the first direction reciprocating motion, when the launch pad moves in the second direction in response to the strength of the input signal, the dart pin is fired, the input time point of the input signal and the input signal. The position of the dart pin hitting the dart plate is changed according to the strength of the dart plate.

The game controller 130 displays the rising of the launch pad, the launch of the dart pin, and the movement of the dart pin hitting the dart board through the display screen.

The game control unit 130 controls the scoreboard to be displayed on the screen of the display unit 140, and when the dart pin is fired, the score of the portion of the dartboard where the dart pin is positioned is used to control the scoreboard. Control to display through That is, when the dart pin hits the dart board, the score according to the position is displayed on the screen.

The game controller 130 controls to display a time bar displaying the passage of time on the top of the screen of the display unit, and when the time bar is exhausted, the dart pin without an input signal through the microphone 110. Control it to fire automatically.

The game control unit 130 controls to display the direction and intensity of the wind on the screen of the display unit, when the dart pin is launched toward the dart plate, the dart pin corresponding to the direction and intensity of the wind It can be controlled so that the traveling direction of.

The game controller 130 may add a sound effect to increase the reality or satisfaction of the game. For example, when the remaining time is displayed through the time bar 141, the sound of the second hand movement may be played through the speaker to indicate the passage of time, the sound of the dart pin being fired, the dart pin This flying sound, in the case of the outdoor mode can be added to the sound effect, such as wind noise that changes depending on the strength of the wind.

In addition, the sound that is hit by the dart pin, the sound effect when the dart pin hits a specific part of the dart board, the sound effect when the dart pin hits the part without the score of the dart board, and the like can be reproduced.

2 to 5 show screen display contents of the display unit 140 that is controlled and displayed by the game control unit 130.

2 is a screen for selecting a game mode, and FIGS. 3 to 5 show main game screens.

First, when the game starts, as shown in Figure 2, a screen for setting the game mode for the dart game appears. Game mode setting is to set the game level such as the selection window 142 for selecting the number of players, the selection window 144 for selecting the number of dart pins, the indoor mode, the outdoor mode, and the distance between the dart board and the dart pins. Through the selection window 146.

The number of players is predetermined in a range (for example, 1 to 4) to allow the player to choose. The number of dart pins means the number that one game player can throw and can be selected from 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 as shown on the screen, or within a specific number range.

In game level setting, indoor mode is a mode that can ignore wind effect, and outdoor mode is a mode that has wind influence. In outdoor mode, the direction and strength (wind speed) of the wind can be set in advance. In certain modes, it may be possible to change the wind direction and intensity automatically.

The game controller 130 may control to display an outdoor background screen in the outdoor mode, and display a background screen of the indoor atmosphere in the indoor mode.

The distance between the dart pin and the dart board means the distance between the launch pad and the dart board on which the dart pin is to be launched. In the indoor mode, the distance between the dart pin and the dart board can be selected from 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. There are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 to choose from. The distance between the dart pin and the dart plate may be determined other than the above distance.

The distance between the launch pad and the dartboard displayed on the display screen may also be changed according to the distance between the dart pin and the dartboard, that is, the distance between the launch pad and the dartboard.

After the setting of the game mode through FIG. 2, the main game screen appears as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 shows general location information, and FIG. 4 shows an actual display screen.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the number of game rounds 156 is displayed on the upper left of the display screen 140, the current game player 154 is displayed from the center left to the lower left, and the game score of the game player is displayed. And the remaining number of dart pins may be displayed for each game player.

And the time bar 141 is displayed on the upper portion of the screen to display the remaining time until the launch. The dart plate 143 is displayed below the time bar 141, and the launch pad 152 is displayed on the lower portion of the lower surface of the time bar 141. And the direction and wind speed of the wind is displayed on the right portion 147 of the screen, and the distance between the dart board 143 and the launch pad 152 is displayed on the other predetermined portion 149.

When the game is started, the launch pad 152 performs a first direction reciprocating motion (for example, a left and right reciprocating motion) at a constant speed. The period of the first direction reciprocating motion can be set to 1.5 to 2.0 seconds in the indoor mode, 1.0 to 1.5 seconds in the outdoor mode, it can also be set differently.

When the game player inputs an input signal such as 'after' and blows or yells through the microphone 110 when the launch pad 152 is positioned at a desired position, the game rack is positioned at the time of the input signal. The dart pin is fired toward the dart board while the launch pad 152 moves in response to the intensity of the input signal.

That is, when the input signal is three times (strong), the dart pin is fired with the movement of the launch pad 152 large, so the dart pin will hit the upper portion of the dart plate. If the input signal is weak, there will be little movement of the launch pad 152, so when the dart pin is fired, the dart pin will hit the bottom of the dart plate 143.

In addition, in the case where the launch pad 152 performs the reciprocating motion, when the launch pad is located at the left edge, if the input signal is input, the dart pin is hit on the left edge of the dart board. When the input signal is input when the launch pad is located at the right edge, the dart pin will hit the right edge portion of the dart plate 143.

This may be applicable to the case where the launch pad 152 is in the up and down reciprocating motion, even when the launch pad 152 and the dart plate 143 are simultaneously moving.

On the other hand, since the direction and intensity of the wind is a variable in the outdoor mode, the variation of the position where the dart pin hits the dart board in response to the force and direction of the wind will be more varied than in the indoor mode.

Figure 5 shows the result screen after the dart pin is fired.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the dart pin is fired, a screen in which the dart pin hits the dart board 143 appears, and the lower portion 155 of the dart board has a score corresponding to the dart board 143. Displayed in an overlapping form. In the lower portion 153, one of the result messages 'Perfect', 'Good', 'Pool', and 'Bad' is selected and displayed. In addition, when the dart pin hits a portion without the score of the dart board 143 or is mismatched, an 'X' mark may be displayed on the portion 157 and the result message may be displayed as 'Bad'.

Hereinafter, a game control method of a dart game using a microphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When a user selects a game for a game, the game controller 130 displays a game setting screen through the display unit 140. When the user inputs the number of game players, game modes, etc., the game controller 130 displays the main game screen as shown in FIG. 4 and starts a game.

Here we assume that there are two game players and continue the explanation.

The Munje game controller 130 displays the game round on the game round display window 156 on the screen and displays the first game player on the display window 154 so that the first game player starts the game. Makes the first reciprocating motion at a constant speed. In addition, the first game player is displayed on the display window 154 and the remaining time until the launch is displayed through the time bar 141. When the game mode is the outdoor mode, the direction and wind speed of the wind are displayed on the predetermined portions 147 and 149 so that the game player can know the direction and wind speed of the wind.

When the first game player inputs the input signal through the microphone 110, the input signal detector 120 detects the strength of the input signal and transmits the input signal to the game controller 130.

The game controller 130 fires the dart pin while moving the launch pad 152 in the second direction in response to the strength of the input signal. At this time, the game controller 130 displays the movement of the launch pad and the launching process of the dart pin on the screen of the display unit 140. In this case, in the outdoor mode, the direction in which the dart pins fly toward the dart board may be changed in response to the direction and intensity of the wind.

And, even if there is no input signal input, when the time bar is exhausted, the dart pin controls to be automatically fired when the time bar runs out.

Then, when the dart pin hits the dart board 143, the game controller 130 displays the score of the portion where the dart pin is hit on the screen together with the result message as shown in FIG. The score is input to the game player display window 154 or the score is calculated and displayed. For example, if the game method takes the way that the player with the highest score wins the game method, the score is summed and displayed, giving the game player a certain number of points and the score of the other game player. If the player takes the method of winning the game with a large number of points remaining after the game ends, the player's score is subtracted and displayed.

In the case of displaying the score, a function of allowing the game player to know a portion where the dart pin is hit by enlarging and displaying the dart board 143 may be possible.

Thereafter, the game control method of the second game player is also performed in the same manner as the game control method of the first game player.

After the specified dart pin is exhausted, the game ends, and when the game ends, each game player indicates that the player who has the highest score or sum score wins.

As described above, according to the present invention, a dart game can be enjoyed using a microphone, and a dart game can be played using only a microphone and a display device without a separate dart board or a dart pin.

The dart game device using the microphone may be used as a singing cycle. In general, a karaoke cycle is provided with a microphone, a display device, and a speaker, and a user's voice signal input through the microphone is mixed with a background image including an accompaniment signal and subtitles stored therein and provided through a speaker.

Therefore, the dart game device using the microphone is generally used as a karaoke cycle, so that the dart game can be played at the break time of the song, so as to satisfy the user's preference and make the karaoke cycle or the game device more efficient. It is possible to use.
