Description

The invention relates to virtual games using computer and software to simulate a real sports game.

To assess the novelty and inventive step, we consider a number of well-known technical means of a similar purpose, characterized by a combination of features similar to the invention.

Famously native Russian game of towns. This game has long been fun not only for children but also for adults. Such great people as singer Fedor Chaliapin, academician Ivan Pavlov and writer Maxim Gorky loved this game very much, which has preserved a lot of documentary evidence. The great Russian commander Alexander Suvorov explained his passion for towns: “The game of towns develops an eye, speed, onslaught. I beat with a bat - an eye, with a beat I beat - it’s speed, with a beat I beat - it’s an onslaught."

Experts say that a sports game in towns develops coordination of movements and accuracy, which is why this game is especially useful for children. The rules of the game in the towns are simple and accessible to everyone. The set includes two bits and five towns - cylindrical columns of wood. The site on which the towns are established is called a “city” measuring 2 × 2 m; distance from the place of throws: distant (horse) - 13 m, near (half) 6.5 m; the length of the towns is 20 cm, their diameter is 4.5-5 cm; bit length - no more than 1 m.

The game begins with the horse - the most remote place from the "city". If at least one town can be knocked out of a horse, then subsequent throws are made already from a half-cone - a place closer to the "city". A town that is completely outside the square, but not beyond its front line, is considered to be knocked out - in this case, the town is considered not knocked out. One batch consists of 15 figures: "gun", "star", "well", "artillery", "machine gun nest", "sentries", "shooting gallery", "fork", "arrow", "crankshaft", " rocket "," cancer "," sickle "," plane "," letter ". In this sequence they are knocked out. Both rivals and entire teams can participate in the game (Gorodoshny sport. Competition rules. M., Soviet Sport, 2005).

The rules are simple, but, like in any game, to achieve success requires considerable effort and skill. In 1928, the game in the towns was included in the program of the first All-Union Spartakiad. In 1993, the International Federation of City Sports was organized (IFES). At present, this country includes 9 countries: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia.

The main disadvantage of this sports game is the need to build a special sports ground of large sizes, the availability of special equipment and means to ensure the safety of game participants and its spectators.

Known means for the implementation of virtual games that simulate various sports games.

Known US application No. 2005159217 "Game device and game program", MKI A63F 13/00; A63F 13/06, G06F 3/00, publ. 07/21/2005. The gaming device and game program are intended for playing soccer with the possibility of introducing a centering area of the ball. A push-button switch is inserted into the device so that the centering function can be displayed on a second liquid crystal display provided with a touch panel. The target point for passing the ball varies depending on how much of the button switch displays the player’s touch. Each point in the push button switch corresponds to a point in the centering area in the playing field. The achieved result allows you to diversify the actions of the player, making the game more diverse and interesting.

Known Japanese application No. 2009266241 "Method and device for efficient user management of the audio system, visual, acoustic, inertial data in an interactive game" MKI A63F 13/06, A63F 13/10, publ. 11/12/2009. The method and device provide the implementation of high user interactivity in the gaming system. The method is intended for interactive interaction through an interface with a computer gaming system. The computer gaming system includes a video device for acquiring image data. This device includes a data input device, a video camera, a plurality of light sources that are modulated to transmit the location of the data input device and communication data that should be interpreted by a computer gaming system based on an analysis of the received image data and the state of the plurality of light sources. The technical result is the expansion of operational capabilities by expanding physical and technical means.

Known US application No.2012040755 "Interactive video system based on the recognition of an object by using television cameras" MKI A63F 13/00, A63F 13/06, G06F 3/00, publ. 02.16.2012. A method and apparatus for an interactive game using a television camera or two cameras, which reflects the position or orientation of the points on the player or object. Cameras are used to control the video display. For the game it became possible to use large video screens in the natural growth of a person, where the ultimate realism of the game is achieved.

Currently, the home entertainment market in front of a TV or monitor screen is growing rapidly. PlayStation (Sony) gaming systems with an optional PlayStation Move motion controller provide players with a unique gaming experience, and PlayStation Eye cameras provide excellent motion capture and the ability to control a motion controller in three planes, allowing players to delve deeper into the atmosphere of the game. The PlayStation Move motion controller guarantees us high accuracy of motion tracking thanks to sensitive sensors: a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer and a sensor that picks up the magnetic field of the earth, as well as a color-changing ball at one end of the controller, the movements of which are recorded by the PlayStation Eye camera. Thanks to PlayStation Move technology, you can make both fast and slow movements in the game: hit the ball with a tennis racket and draw a line with a virtual brush on a virtual canvas. With the PlayStation Move motion controller, users can interact with the game using the action buttons and the trigger button, as well as receive a response from the game in the form of controller vibration or changing the color of the ball. In addition to all this, the PlayStation Eye camera can capture the appearance and voice of the user, which is necessary for games in virtual reality (see http://ru.playstation.com.).

More perfect is the Kinect (Microsoft) equipment, which does not use a motion controller in the player’s hands, but uses the entire player’s body with a sports projectile. This equipment with the appropriate software accurately reproduces all the player’s actions without significant delays.

Closest to the claimed solution is US application No. 2005017454 "Interactive gaming systems with tangible feedback", MKI A63F 13/06, G06F 3/00, publ. 01/27/2005, which describes interactive game systems and how to conduct them with tangible feedback. The described device includes: a portable manipulator configured to simulate an element associated with a sports action; sensor with a portable manipulator for detecting movements. The portable manipulator houses the drive and the processor with a sensor and drive. The processor receives a signal from the sensor associated with the movement of the portable manipulator, and generates a control signal to the drive, which outputs tactile feedback, for example, simulating the effect between the portable manipulator and the object. The technical result is an increase in the convenience of playing games.

The objective of the invention is to create a method of playing virtual towns, simulating a sports game in towns, the ability to learn the rules of the game and implement the training process in a confined space, develop coordination of player actions, debug the correct path of the bat to achieve the best results in a sports game in towns.
