2. Description of the Related Art A first prior art is an electronic target device for a light gun, which is used for playing with low precision, and is used as a target device such as a laser rifle, a laser pistol, etc., as an analog operating mechanism and its addition. Some consisted of mechanical means. In this method, a long and narrow photoelectric conversion element is provided in the middle of the target surface in a cross shape, and a conical beam emitted from a light gun strikes the target, generates a voltage pulse, and converts a voltage difference depending on the distance from the center into an analog signal. Further, this is a technique of converting this into an electric signal and driving and displaying the output by a liquid crystal device.

[0003] The second prior art is a so-called light beam shooting device, which is intended for the entire light beam shooting device including a light gun, and detects the irradiation of a light beam in an analog manner, so-called "light beam shooting device". There is one that performs ADA conversion and displays an impact point on a CRT installed at another location. And, on the vertical and horizontal axes provided on the target surface, a plurality of, about five light receiving sensors, a photodiode is provided to receive light bullets,
There is a target device for detecting a landing point center divided into five parts on a vertical axis and a horizontal axis from a center point, respectively, and dividing the vertical axis and the horizontal axis into ten equal parts, and expressing a score on a score display means.

[0004] As a third prior art, the same inventor as the present invention independently developed about two years ago and has already been applied for a patent (Japanese Patent Application No. 11-38077) is as follows. There is something. That is, in an electronic target device of a light gun that detects and displays a point of impact of a light beam emitted from the light gun by an optical sensor, a CCD linear image light receiving sensor having a function of sensing the light of the light gun on a target surface is shifted. 10 or more registers are provided on a target central portion, and at least 10 registers per 1 [mm] on a vertical axis and a horizontal axis passing through the target central portion, and light emitting elements are provided along a circumference in the target surface. Built-in microprocessor that calculates the score obtained from the distance between the landing center point and the center of the target in response to the signal from the target plate and the CCD linear image light receiving sensor, and precisely controls the output. There is an electronic target device that includes an arithmetic control unit that can output personal computer transmission data by performing the operation, and a unit that displays a score corresponding to the impact point. Further, the CCD linear image light receiving sensor subdivides each photosensitive section from -100 to +100,
2. Description of the Related Art There is an electronic target device in which the size of one element is set to 7 to 10 [μm], quantized, linearly arranged, and precisely calculated to enable landing and score display up to 10.99.

However, since then, the sport has been expanding in a progressive manner, and the shooting competition using livestock harmless ray guns without using live ammunition has been held by high school students as an official sport in the national polity. Starting with shooting, various beam rifle shooting competitions have become popular every year. In addition, as the tournament becomes more active, the number of competition officials will increase, and the number of spectators will increase, and the shooting will become more watchable. Accordingly, archers are also required to have high scoring accuracy. Furthermore, very recently, it has been required that the shooting tournament be shown, and that it be operated by a small number of officials.

[0006] However, it is becoming difficult for the above-mentioned prior art to cope with the success of the recent beam rifle shooting competition. That is, each of the conventional techniques has the following disadvantages. In the first prior art, a voltage is generated in proportion to the area of the light beam hit by the light gun, and the center position impact point is displayed by the operation of the servo motor.
It takes a relatively long time of 3 to 5 seconds from the firing of a light bullet to the point display. Further, since the servo motor is used for mechanical positioning, the mechanism is too complicated and large. Further, since fine adjustment cannot be performed by the analog method, the detection accuracy of the circular beam is poor. Therefore, there are many drawbacks, such as low accuracy of point display. In addition, since these are simple liquid crystal displays, they merely indicate whether or not they land on the target device, they do not have a seating table, and the exact positions of the landing points are not displayed. There is a drawback that the player is not interested even as a playground equipment since no display is made when the player deviates from the center.

The second prior art is an optical beam shooting apparatus, in which both a gun and a target apparatus are the subject of the invention. However, since the target is an analog type, the accuracy is low and
Since ADA conversion is performed in the control circuit, 2
There are drawbacks, such as low accuracy. Furthermore, since the center of impact is detected from the light receiving sensor divided into five parts on the vertical axis and the horizontal axis from the center point of the target surface,
Each photodiode is a single element, for example, it is arranged at a coarse pitch of about 5 mm, so in each of the 10 equal divisions from the center point, the level of the shooter improves, and if players near the full score continue, at least for competition use Has the problem that it is no longer suitable. Also, these prior arts can be used as play equipment, but they are not sufficient for shooting competitions that require strict performance comparisons, especially for international competitions including the Olympic Games, which are competed by national athletes. There was also a problem that it is.

Further, in the third prior art, although the display is performed with high accuracy down to the order of μm, as described above, the beam rifle competition has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the competition scale is large. In the current situation where the number of spectators has increased, even if the number of operating officers is increased, even if the accuracy is high, it is not enough to quickly determine and display the ranking only by the conventional individual grade display and respond to the audience's request The problem that came came.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and problems in response to the current state of the art by further developing and applying the latest electronic technology to increase the amusement of both players and spectators in shooting sports. It was started with the aim of making significant technical and economic advances by further improving the shooting skill in Japan, streamlining the operation of the competition, and suppressing the increase in the number of executive officers.

[0010]

That is, the first feature is that the point of impact of the light beam emitted from the ray gun is detected by the optical sensor, and the score calculated from the distance between the point of impact and the target center point is displayed by the display means. Using one or more electronic target devices, automatically calculate the average score or total score of each unit number, automatically input to each personal computer device by wireless or wired means, and then display the data Displayed by a device and / or printed by a printer,
It is displayed on the display surface of the video system or expressed on the personal score display board, and on the other hand, the score score of a plurality of people is scored at each point during the competition by the comparison mechanism and the sorting mechanism in the personal computer. An electronic target system for a high-performance light gun for international shooting, characterized in that it is arranged in an order and is displayed on a total score display panel.

The second feature is that the rearrangement display mechanism draws out the score data of each shooting player in the personal computer from the place where it is stored, and compares each of the two scores by a comparison block. In the same manner, the total score or the average score of all the players is sequentially rearranged in the order of the high scores, and is automatically instantaneously displayed on the overall ranking display panel. It is an electronic target system for high performance light guns for international shooting competitions.

A third characteristic is that the electronic target system of the high performance light gun for international shooting competition uses a personal computer instead of the display device. It is a gun electronic targeting system.

A fourth feature of the present invention is that the display device is connected to each personal computer by a LAN (Local Area Network), connected by a bus-type line, operated, and displayed on a large-screen electronic bulletin board. It is an electronic target system for high performance light guns for international shooting competitions.

The rearrangement mechanism in the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. (A) For example, in the case of a 60-shot competition, the sorting mechanism (program) is configured such that all players start a game (10 shots)
At the end of shooting, rearrange in the order of the total score (highest score). Next, at the end point of shooting two games (20 shots), 20
The rearrangement is performed in the order of the total score of the shots (highest score).
At the end of shooting 30 shots, 40 shots, and 50 shots as described above, 3 players, 4 games, and 5 games are rearranged in the order of the total score (highest score). Lastly everyone is 1
When the shooting of the series (60 shots) is completed, the rearrangement is performed in the order of higher total score (highest score order). Also, in the final match, all players rearrange the order of the total score at the end of each shot. (B) The sorting method is as follows. For example, when A, B, C, and D are ranked from the top, the first player has 85 points,
The second player has 90 points, the third player has 95 points, and the fourth player has 93 points.
In the case of a point, first, a score of 1 is given to A, a score of 2 to B, a score of 3 to C, and a score of 4 to D. Next, A and B are compared, and A is the first 85 points, B is the second 90 points, so that the points are exchanged so that A is the second 90 points and B is the first 85 points (flowchart 101, 102). Next, B and C are compared (flow chart 103). B is the first 85 points, C is the third 9 points
Since it is 5 points, switch (Flowchart 104) B
Is the 95th point of No. 3 and C is the 85th point of No. 1. next,
C and D are compared (flow chart 105). Since C has the first 85 points and D has the fourth 93 points, C is replaced with the fourth 95 points and the D has the first 85 points. Here, 85 points of D were determined (flow chart 105). Next, A and B are compared again (flowchart 10).
6). Since A has the second 90 points and B has the third 95 points, A is replaced with the third 95 points and B has the second 90 points. Next, B and C will be compared. B is the second 90
Point, C is the 93th point of 4
No. 93 points and C is No. 2 90 points. This determines the second 90 points of C. (C) Next, A and B are compared again. A is the third 9
5 points and B are 4th 93 points, so they are not interchanged, A is 3rd 95 points, B is 4th 93 points, and the final result is 3rd 95 points for A and 4 points for B 93 points in the number, 2 for C
The 90th point of the number and the 85th point of D are the first point (flowcharts 107 and 108). The order of the ranks can be rearranged by performing the comparison ascending order and repeating until there is no replacement.
