Description

DESCRIPTION

Electronic dart device for interactive darts.

Sector of the technique

The enunciated invention is framed in the sector of devices or devices whose purpose is to entertain and entertain a user in a certain place.

Specifying more the sector to which it is directed, the enunciated invention is framed in the sector of devices or recreational devices whose operation is determined by a physical interaction of the user with an electronic device.

State of the art

There are numerous and with different modalities the devices or apparatuses destined to entertain and entertain a subject through said interaction. Likewise, there are numerous and of different types of establishments which, either have as a specific purpose the recreation of the user, or house such devices or devices, whose purpose is to collect, prolong the user's stay to consume, or both. Simultaneously.

For example, in these establishments you can find devices or devices handled directly with your hands, such as football tables, shovels, "PinbaN", etc.

You can also find devices or devices in which come into play, in addition to the skill of their own hands, elements to be launched and nailed on appropriate surfaces in the devices or devices, such as darts on targets.

Attending to the latter, there is knowledge of devices which house a target and a series of digital markers which reflect the scores which are obtained by one or several users as the darts are stuck in certain areas of the target. Some of these devices accompany this score with a series of acoustic signals indicative of punctuation.

At the date of execution of this report, there is no knowledge of any invention which combines the electronic, interactive and transmission characteristics that the enunciated invention provides.

Object of the invention

As stated in the state of the art, and more specifically the last devices or devices exhibited last, known as electronic targets, the only interaction they perform with the user is to translate scores, or through a series of Displays and / or by light and acoustic signals, and make user changes.

This type of interactions hardly stimulate the user to keep entertaining, which indirectly affects the consumption made in the establishment to reduce their stay, and possibly the mood, also having an impact on the direct collection of the device.

Another type of drawbacks they present is the collection generated directly by the device. In general, this type of devices are not property of the establishments, but are leased or left in deposit by manufacturers or distributors in exchange for a participation in the collection. When accounting for the collection, the owner of the devices must rely on the person who has done this accounting, which can lead to economic conflicts resulting from cheating or misleading accounting.

The purpose of the invention is to solve the aforementioned disadvantages by providing an electronic device for launching darts which stimulates the user to participate through a more attractive interactive form and in turn transmits a direct accounting to its owner or transferor in real time.

Description of the invention

The electronic dart dartboard device which is configured from an electronic target which has different scoring zones and a panel that houses said dart, is characterized in that the panel that houses the target comprises a protected interactive touch screen by a safety sheet and which, in addition to displaying the scores obtained, emit dynamic or static virtual messages and images which entertain or stimulate the user when the darts thrown by the latter strike in said panel (outside the target) or in the own target.

When the device is not in recreational use, it is also configured to broadcast images or advertising messages on the screen.

It is also characterized, because the device has GPS communication and Bluetooth and WIFI connection in order to communicate and interact remotely with another device in order to perform the following actions;

- control in real time the direct collection obtained by the device,

- change or modify the messages and images which are displayed and interact with the user when he is using the device,

- insert advertising messages when the device is not being used for recreational purposes,

- and perform a test of the operation of the device.

This communication and connection can also be carried out through USB and Ethernet ports present in the device.

In this way, conflicts are avoided due to collection issues, the user is entertained and entertained more, which increases his stay in the premises, the possibility of generating extra income through advertising is raised, and there is always knowledge of the operation of the device.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order not to intend to limit said invention in its variety of embodiment, which will depend on the circumstances of the establishment, an execution option is illustrated below.

Figure 1. Represents a front view of the device.

Figure 2. Represents a front view of the device in a presentation form.

Description of a preferred embodiment

With reference to the appended figures, based on the numbering reflected in them and in a preferred embodiment of the invention but not limited, the interactive electronic dart target device consists of a panel (1) which comprises an interactive touch screen (2). ), protected by a transparent foil that is shock and scratch-proof, and where said screen (2) houses, either in an embossed or superficial form, an electronic target (3) for darts, which communicates with the screen (2).

Said panel (1), in addition to housing inside the electronic components that communicate it with the target and emit dynamic or static visual content on the screen (2), comprises a computer support configured to process and store all the information collected by the device during its recreational use and also that received from external devices or units.
