target unit 20 is depicted inFig. 4 . The structural example is shown in the case ofFig. 3 (1a), (1b), but is the same even in the case ofFig. 3 (2a), (2b). - The
target unit 20 comprises a plurality oftarget segments 21 of the same shape as indicated inFig. 4 (1). Each of the plurality oftarget segments 21 comprises a plurality of receivingholes 22, which receive and hold tips of darts as shown inFig. 4 (2). Thetarget unit 20 is replaceable for eachtarget segment 21. The receivinghole 22 is easy to be deformed and degraded due to plural time collisions by tips of darts, and thus it is important that thetarget unit 20 is replaceable for eachtarget segment 21. It should be noted that thetarget unit 20 is configured by a plurality of sameshape target segments 21, so that easiness of replacement of thetarget segment 21 is improved, and loads of an administrator for a darts game apparatus can be reduced, compared with the case of using target segments having different shapes. -
Fig. 5 is a diagram explaining a receivinghole 22 of thetarget segment 21, and the explanation will be made by indicating the sectional view of onetarget segment 21, as easily understood. -
Fig. 5 (1) indicates the state immediately before the dart hits thetarget segment 21, andFig. 5 (2) indicates the state such that thedart 100 is stuck in thetarget segment 21, and due to the impact thereof, thetarget segment 21 is displaced toward the rear. Further,Fig. 5 (3) indicates the state such that thetarget segment 21 returns from the state ofFig. 5 (2) to the position shown inFig. 5 (3), in the state of thedart 100 being stuck in thetarget segment 21. - As shown in
Fig. 5 (1), anelastic body 21 b fixed to aprojection 21 a at the rear side of thetarget segment 21 does not give any pushing force to asensor sheet 21 c, when thedart 100 is not stuck, and thus, not shown membrane switch provided inside of thesensor sheet 21 c is kept off. - Then, as shown in
Fig. 5 (2), the dart tip is received in the receivinghole 22 of thetarget segment 21, when thedart 100 hits thetarget segment 21, and at the same time, thetarget segment 21 is displaced to the rear so that theelastic body 21 c strongly pushes thesensor sheet 21 c to turn on contacts of the membrane switch and output a hitting detection signal from thesensor sheet 21 c. - Moreover, the
segment 21 is returned to an original position by the elastic force of theelastic body 21 b, in the state such that the dart tip, which is the distal portion of thedart 100, is kept in the receivinghole 22, as shown inFig. 5 (3). - Here, a method for detecting the state of the dart hitting the
target segment 21 is not limited to the way of employing thesensor sheet 21 c as indicated inFig. 5 . For example, the hitting can be determined according to whether or not the tip of thedart 100 obstructs a light from a light emitting device by using light emitting and receiving devices, or a camera is provided which shoots thetarget segment 100, and a shot image is processed to determine the hitting. - In addition, as another method, it is possible to use a distance sensor, which employs a technique similar to "Kinect" (registered trademark) equipment of Microsoft Corporation, U.S.A. Namely, the distant sensor includes a camera which shoots the
target segment 21, a radiant section which radiates infrared rays, and a detection section which detects the infrared rays reflected from thetarget segment 21 and thedart 100. - A virtual three dimensional space is generated based on the captured image data from the camera and the reflected infrared rays detected by the detection section, and distant (depth) information (largeness of Z axis direction) is generated for each pixel of the virtual three dimensional space image in an image angle of view at each certain cycle (one frame).
- As a result, it is possible to recognize the tip of the
dart 100 by connecting coordinate points, sizes of which are small in the Z axis direction, when compared with the distance to thetarget segment 21. Accordingly, the point at which the largeness of the tip in Z axis direction is consistence with thetarget segment 21 is the leading end of the tip, and the point to which thedart 100 hits can be obtained from the coordinate of the leading end. - In this way, internal switches are unnecessary, when the
sensor sheet 21 c shown inFig. 5 is not used as a method to detect the state of hitting. Hence, freedom of performance is improved, and selection of thetarget segment 21 becomes free in largeness. Further, it is possible to simplify the structure of the apparatus. Hence, the cost for device components are also reduced. -
Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a control circuit, which controls the darts game apparatus as explained above. - This circuit is provided in the back side space of the
main body 1 or in the spaces where theprojector 2 is located at an upper position and theprojector 3 is located at a lower position. - In
Fig. 6 , thecontrol block 200 is a circuit structure to control performance, and thecontrol block 300 is a circuit structure to control sensors. - In
Fig. 6 thecontrol block 200 includesprojectors main body 1. - The operation in the
block 200 is performed by the CPU (1) 202, which executes a control program installed in theROM 201. The image data to be projected on themain body 1 as explained inFig. 2 are written in theRAM 203. - The image data read out by the CPU (I) 202 from the
RAM 203 according to the control program are converted and drawn as video data in thevideo RAM 204. The video data drawn in thevideo RAM 204 are sequentially read out and projected by theprojectors - Here, it is well known that a projected image is distorted when projected by the
projectors -
Fig. 7 is a diagram explaining the distortion of projected image according to the shape of the projection plane. - For example, the video on the projection plane is distorted as shown in
Fig. 7 (2), when an image as shown inFig. 7 (1) is projected on a spherical surface. Thus, it is possible to make the distortion of the video on the projected plane small, when a distortion compensation process is performed which gives a reverse distortion corresponding to such the distortion on the projected image in advance. Namely, inFig. 7 , an image data is given with a pre-distortion reverse to the distortion of the video on the projected plane ofFig. 7 (2), as shown inFig. 7 (3), and thereafter, is projected. Hence, a video on the projection plane is given as less distorted video corresponding toFig. 7 (1). - In fact, when a projection image is generated by a projection mapping, a viewing point and a view screen are supposed, and points, which are lined with equal intervals on the view screen are defined as projection points viewed from the viewing point. Then, an intersecting point at which straight lines connecting the projection points and the viewing point intersects with a screen, that is, the front surface of the
main body 1 is considered as projection points projected by theprojectors - Accordingly, as returning to
Fig. 6 , distortioncompensation control circuits projectors compensation control circuits projectors - Here, projection areas by the
projectors main body 1, if thetarget unit 20 is provided on the whole surface of themain body 1 as shown inFig. 3 (2a), (2b). - Namely, it is considered as one production effect that a target image is shifted in a timely fashion, and displayed on different positions of the
main body 1. - Hence, in some cases, positons of the projected target image are biased to the upper portion or lower portion of the
main body 1. In these cases, a distortion of a target image projected by one projector becomes larger than a distortion of the target image projected by the other projector. - To avoid this inconvenience, in
Fig. 6 , CPU (I) 202 adaptively controls the amount of distortion compensation correspondingly to the image data in the distortioncompensation control circuits projectors - Now, in the case that a plurality of projectors are used as the present embodiment, it is preferable to provide respective projectors, which respectively project images on the surface of the
main body 1 from different directions. Namely, a shadow of thedart 100 is generated and is elongated in one direction, when the dart hits thetarget segment 21 and is held by the receivinghole 22, if the image is projected on the surface of themain body 1 from the same direction, even in the case of using one projector or a plurality of projectors is employed. That is, there is generated an area where a projected image cannot be displayed. Hence, a game is obstructed, so that a player lacks the ability to concentrate. Accordingly, it is preferable to provide respective projectors, as explained above. - Further, in order to make a shadow hardly be generated, it is preferable that projection lights from plural projectors are of almost same strength in respective opposed directions at the position of the target image to be projected.
- Accordingly, the CPU (I) 202 controls distortion amounts as corresponding to positions of projected target images, and controls projection lights projected by the
projector 2 and theprojector 3 to be the same strength at target image positions. - Next, the
control block 300, which controls sensors will be explained inFig. 6 . Acard sensor 301, atouch sensor 302, and asensor sheet 303 are provided as various sensors. - The
card sensor 301 corresponding to cards such as a magnetic sensor or an RFID sensor is embedded on the surface panel of the main body1 correspondingly to a position indicated by theprojection image 6, shown inFig. 2 (1). - Similarly, the
touch sensor 302 is formed on the surface panel of themain body 1 correspondingly to theselection button position 9 indicated by theprojection image 6, shown inFig. 2 (2). - The
sensor sheet 303 corresponds to thesensor sheet 21 c previously explained inFig. 5 . - Returning to
Fig. 6 , sensor outputs obtained by thecard sensor 301, thetouch sensor 302 and thesensor sheet 303 are input to I/O control board 304. - A CPU (II) 305 provided in the control block 300 processes sensor outputs, which are input to the I/
O control board 304, according to a control program stored in theROM 306. - Namely, the
card sensor 301 recognizes a card held by a player in the state of projecting images inFig. 2 (1), and the CPU (II) 305 controls a CPU (I) 202 to generate and project a start image (Fig. 2 (2)) of the darts game. - When the
touch sensor 302 detects that either touch sensor is touched, the CPU (II) 305 notifies the CPU (I) 202 to generate and project a corresponding production image. - Further, when the CPU (II) 305 detects the output of the
sensor sheet 303, the CPU (II) 305 records, accumulates, and notifies the result thereof to the CPU (II) 305 to generate and project a corresponding production image. - In the above explanation, the sensor, which detects a position of a hit dart is explained as present in the
main body 1, but the present invention is not restricted to this. For example, it is possible to project the projection light from the projector as sequentially scanned on the surface of themain body 1, and a sensor, which detects a reflection light corresponding to the projection light is provided at the projector, side. - Namely, it is possible to detect whether or not a dart is present according to the strength of a reflection light to the projection light.
- Now, the structure of the darts game apparatus is explained as a single device in
Fig. 6 , but is not limited this. There is a case wherein skills are competed between plural darts game players. -
Fig. 8 depicts a conceptual diagram of a darts game apparatus, which is comprised of a plurality of game terminals T1-Tn, having the same configuration as the darts game apparatus as explained inFig. 6 , and being connected to a server SV through a network NW such as an internet or LAN. - Each configuration of the plurality of darts game terminals T1-Tn is basically the same as that explained in
Fig. 6 . Each of the darts game terminals T1-Tn is connected to the network NW via theNW port 308. - In the case of such the configuration, it is possible that the plurality of darts game terminals T1-Tn are not controlled to execute by respective CPUs, but the server SV collectively controls game progresses in the plurality of darts game terminals T1-Tn.
- Further, an effect display for a total system is controlled by the server SV as shown in
Fig. 9 . For example, inFig. 9 , all surfaces of the plurality of darts game terminals T1-Tn are supposed as one display area to produce a display of alarge image 500. In this case, the server SV sends each of corresponding part images to the respective darts game terminals T1-Tn, which respectively display a part of thelarge image 500. - Each of the darts game terminals T1-Tn synchronizes with clocks controlled by the server SV to project image data sent from the server SV by the
projectors Fig. 6 , so that a production image generated as a total system is displayed as shown inFig. 9 . - As explained above, in the present invention, a large performance display can be possible without enlarging the housing of the darts game apparatus, by entire of the
main body 1 of the darts game apparatus being functioned as a display. - That is, an effective display was restricted only in a particular portion (for example, upper portion of the housing) in conventional apparatuses, but an entire surface of the housing can be used, so that it is possible to enhance the freedom of effective production by the apparatus according to the present invention.
- Furthermore, it is not necessary to limit the target of the darts game apparatus to a specific portion, and the shape of the target can be made without limiting to a round shape.
