  In the following, an example will be described in which a dart competition is performed on a dart board of a dart machine in which a trial of throwing darts three times in succession is repeated for each competitor. That is, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment records the first throwing situation, the second throwing situation, and the third throwing situation for each player.

  Here, the imaging device according to the first embodiment acquires information on the throwing time from the dart machine when the same player throws the dart continuously. Moreover, the imaging device in Example 1 acquires the player information memorize | stored in the IC card which a player individually owns from a card reader. Furthermore, the imaging device according to the first embodiment acquires information on the athlete standing at the throwing position from the pressure sensor installed at the throwing position.

  Here, the present invention is mainly characterized in that it is possible to minimize the amount of data for recording the throwing situation. Briefly describing this main feature, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment stores in advance a throwing preparation time (hereinafter referred to as a personal throwing time) described below. That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, the image pickup apparatus according to the first embodiment first starts from the trial time (X) from the start to the end of the trial to perform the throwing, and from the dart throwing to the end of the trial. The time obtained by subtracting the throwing time (Y) is calculated as the personal throwing time (Z) required for throwing preparation.

  Here, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment uses the flight time of the dart as a throwing time (Y) which is not significantly different for each player and is a fixed time. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2A, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment indicates the time when the player detected by the pressure sensor is in the throwing position at the first throw of the trial as the start of the trial. Used in the second and third throws of the trial, when the trial of the previous throw is completed, specifically, when the dart thrown by the athlete reaches the dart board.

  For example, in the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment, when the throwing time (Y) is “1 second” and the trial time (X) of the first throw of “Athlete: A” is “6 seconds”, FIG. As shown in 2 (B), the personal throwing time of “Athlete: A, First throw: 5 seconds” is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit. Furthermore, in the imaging apparatus of Example 1, when the trial times of the second and third throws of “Athlete: A” were “4 seconds”, as shown in FIG. The personal throwing time “Athlete: A, 2nd throw: 3 seconds, 3rd throw: 3 seconds” is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit.

  And the imaging recording part of the imaging device in Example 1 starts the imaging recording of each athlete's throwing condition based on the personal throwing time for every athlete memorize | stored in the throwing preparation time memory | storage part. That is, the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment is the time when the player actually starts the trial when the player performs the trial when the personal pitching time is stored in association with the throwing preparation time storage unit. At the time when the personal throwing time has elapsed, the imaging recording of the trial is started. Specifically, the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment corresponds to the player's throwing times from the start of the trial to the current time when the player who has stored the personal throwing time for each throwing time performs the trial. When the personal throwing time to be elapsed has passed, imaging recording is started.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment performs “thrower: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds” by the throwing preparation time storage unit. When “Athlete: A” memorized as “3rd throw: 3 seconds” performs a trial, imaging recording of the throwing situation is started as follows.

  First, the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first exemplary embodiment is configured such that “throwing person: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds, three throws” "Eye: 3 seconds" is acquired from the throwing preparation time storage unit. And the imaging recording part of the imaging device in Example 1 starts imaging recording after “5 seconds” have elapsed from the time when “Athlete: A” stood in the throwing position, which is the starting time of the first throw. .

  Furthermore, the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first exemplary embodiment starts imaging recording after “3 seconds” have elapsed since the end of the first-throw trial, which is the second-throw trial start time. In addition, in the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus in Example 1, “3 seconds” have elapsed since the end of the second throw, which is the start time of the third throw, in the third throw as well as the second throw. Later, imaging recording is started.

  Note that the imaging recording unit of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment performs imaging recording at the time when a shooting time (Y + α) obtained by adding a predetermined time (α) to the throwing time (Y) has elapsed since the start of imaging recording. finish. Here, the predetermined time (α) is the time for recording the score displayed on the display monitor after the dart hits the dart board, and the special time displayed on the display monitor when the high score is acquired. This is the time considering the time for recording the video.

  For this reason, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment can start imaging recording in consideration of the time required for preparation for throwing for each player when starting imaging recording of the throwing situation. As described above, it is possible to minimize the amount of data for storing the throwing status.

  Note that the imaging device according to the first embodiment may calculate the personal throwing time corresponding to the player and the throwing time and update the personal throwing time in the throwing preparation time storage unit every time a trial is performed. Specifically, the imaging device according to the first embodiment has a personal throwing time every time a player who has a personal throwing time throws a dart or every predetermined ratio (for example, once every two times). Is calculated. Then, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment may calculate an average value of the personal throwing time in the throwing preparation time storage unit and the calculated personal throwing time, and update the calculated average value as a new personal throwing time.

  In addition, the imaging device according to the first embodiment can also distribute a video of a throwing situation stored in association with a player via a video distribution device (not shown). For example, the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment can also distribute a video of a throwing situation recorded by three photographing cameras to a mobile phone or the like owned by an athlete via the Internet or the like.

[Configuration of Imaging Device in Embodiment 1]
Next, the configuration of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the imaging apparatus in the first embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of recording video recording by the imaging apparatus in the first embodiment.

  The dart machine 40 has a dart board and a display monitor. The display monitor displays a score corresponding to the position of the dart board on which the dart hits when a dart player throws the dart on the dart board. In addition, the display monitor displays a special video when the athlete has obtained a high score.

  In the dart competition, the dart machine 40 transmits, to the imaging device 10, information on the current throwing time during the competition when the number of times of throwing that the same player continuously throws darts is set. Specifically, the dart machine 40 transmits, to the imaging device 10, throwing time information indicating how many shots are made in the same attempt when the same player continuously throws three times. For example, the dart machine 40 transmits the throwing time information of “first throw”, “second throw”, and “third throw” to the imaging apparatus 10. In addition, when a plurality of athletes repeat the trials in order and perform the competition, the dart machine 40 is assigned to the athlete currently performing the competition (hereinafter referred to as the current athlete order) and throwing. Time information is transmitted to the imaging apparatus 10. For example, when the dart machine 40 transmits that it is the first throw of the competitor who performs the first trial among the three competitors, the “current competitor turn, “Throwing times information” is transmitted to the imaging device 10.

  Further, the dart machine 40 transmits to the imaging device 10 that the dart thrown by the athlete has reached the dart board. Specifically, when the dart machine thrown by the competitor hits any position on the dart board installed in the dart machine 40 and detects that the dart hits, the dart is placed on the dart board. The arrival is transmitted to the imaging device 10.

  The card reader 20 uses the dart machine 40 to read the player information from the IC card owned by the player who performs the dart competition, and transmits the read player information to the imaging device 10. For example, the card reader 20 transmits an ID for uniquely identifying the player as the player information to the imaging device 10. In addition, when a plurality of ID cards are inserted, the order in which the trials are performed is transmitted to the imaging device 10 together with the player information of all the players.

  The card reader 20 is connected to a card authentication server (not shown) via the Internet, and transmits the player information of the inserted IC card to the card authentication server. When the received player information is registered in the list to be held, the card authentication server authenticates the dart machine 40 as an available player and transmits to the card reader 20 to authenticate. And only when the inserted card is authenticated by the card authentication server, the card reader 20 authenticates the owner of the IC card as a player in the dart competition, and sends the player information to the imaging device 10 together with the order in which the trials are performed. Send.

  The pressure sensor 30 is installed at a throwing position where the athlete throws the dart, detects that the athlete has stood in the throwing position, and transmits the detected result to the imaging device 10.

  The first camera 50 is a contestant photographing camera for photographing a throwing form in which a contestant throws a dart on a dart board installed in the dart machine 40. In addition, the second camera 51 shoots the score displayed on the display monitor built in the dart machine 40 after the athlete throws the dart and the special video displayed when the athlete obtains a high score. This is a display monitor photographing camera. The third camera 52 is a dart board photographing camera for photographing the moment when the dart thrown by the athlete hits the dart board.

  The I / F 60 is an interface that relays data transmitted and received between the card reader 20, the pressure sensor 30, the dart machine 40, the first camera 50, the second camera 51, the third camera 52, and the imaging device 10.

  The storage unit 70 stores data used in the processing unit 80 to be described later and a processing result by the processing unit 80 to be described later. In particular, the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 and the video storage unit are closely related to the present invention. 72. Each part will be described in detail later.

  The processing unit 80 executes various processes based on the data transferred through the I / F 60 and the data stored in the storage unit 70, and particularly as closely related to the present invention, as shown in FIG. In addition, an information processing unit 81, a time processing unit 82, and an imaging recording unit 83 are included.

  The information processing unit 81 transfers the player information received from the card reader 20 to a time processing unit 82 and an imaging recording unit 83 described later. In addition, the information processing unit 81 transfers the throwing time information in the same attempt of the same player received from the dart machine 40 to the time processing unit 82 and the imaging recording unit 83 described later. When there are a plurality of players, the information processing unit 81 further indicates the order of performing the trials received from the card reader 20 and the current player order received from the dart machine 40 as a time processing unit 82 and an imaging recording unit 83. Forward to.

  In addition, the information processing unit 81 receives from the pressure sensor 30 that the athlete has stood in the throwing position, and transmits the received time to the time processing unit 82 described later as the first attempt starting time. Further, the information processing unit 81 receives from the dart machine 40 that the dart has reached the dart board, and transmits it to the time processing unit 82 described later.

  The information processing unit 81 sets the “time point when the first dart reaches the dart board” as the “time point when the first pitch trial ends” and the “time point when the second pitch trial starts” to the time processing unit 82 described later. Send. In addition, the information processing unit 81 sets “the time when the second dart reaches the dart board” as “the time when the second throw dart ends and the time when the third ditch starts”, The time when the board is reached is transmitted to the time processing unit 82, which will be described later, as the “end time of the third attempt”.

  The time processing unit 82 measures the time from the trial start time received from the information processing unit 81 to the trial end time for each of the first, second and third throws. The time processing unit 82 sets the measured time as the trial time required for each of the first, second and third shots, and subtracts the throwing time set in advance as the dart flight time from the measured trial time. The calculated time is calculated as the personal throwing time required for throwing preparation. In this way, the time processing unit 82 calculates personal throwing times for the first, second and third throws for each competitor.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the time processing unit 82 calculates the time obtained by subtracting the throwing time (Y) from the measured trial time (X) as the personal throwing time (Z). . For example, when the throwing time (Y) is set as “1 second”, the time processing unit 82 waits until the dart reaches the dart board after the athlete stands at the throwing position in the first throw of the trial. When the interval is “6 seconds”, the personal throwing time is calculated as “6 seconds−1 second = 5 seconds”.

  In addition, in the second and third shots of the trial, the time processing unit 82 is from the time when the dart thrown in the previous throw reaches the dart board until the dart in the current throw reaches the dart board. When it is “4 seconds”, the personal throwing time is calculated as “4 seconds−1 second = 3 seconds”. Then, the time processing unit 82 stores the calculated personal throwing time in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 in association with the player and the throwing time.

  The throwing preparation time storage unit 71 stores the personal throwing time calculated by the time processing unit 82 in association with the player and the throwing time. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 is “competitor: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds, third throw: 3 seconds”, “ Athlete: B, 1st pitch: 8 seconds, 2nd pitch: 5 seconds, 3rd pitch: 4 seconds ”,“ Competitor: C, 1st pitch: 3 seconds, 2nd pitch: 3 seconds, 3rd pitch : 2 seconds ".

  In addition, the time processing unit 82 refers to the throwing preparation time storage unit 71, and when the personal throwing time of the player information (ID) received from the information processing unit 81 is stored, it is received from the information processing unit 81. Time measurement is started from the trial start time, and the elapsed time is transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83 described later.

  The imaging recording unit 83 acquires the personal throwing time corresponding to the player information received from the information processing unit 81 from the throwing preparation time storage unit 71. For example, the imaging recording unit 83 reads “player: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds, third throw: 3 seconds” from the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 shown in FIG. To get.

  Then, the imaging recording unit 83 starts recording the throwing situation by the three cameras based on the elapsed time transmitted from the time processing unit 82. For example, in the first throw, the imaging recording unit 83 captures the player “A” by the first camera 50 when “5 seconds” elapses from the time when the player “A” stands at the throwing position, Imaging of the display monitor by the camera 51 and imaging recording of the dart board by the third camera 52 are started.

  In addition, the imaging recording unit 83, when “3 seconds” elapses from the time when the dart thrown in the first throw of the competitor “A” reaches the dart board, the first camera 50, the second camera 51, and the third camera. Imaging recording by the camera 52 is started. Furthermore, the imaging recording unit 83, when “3 seconds” elapses from the time when the dart thrown on the second throw of the competitor “A” reaches the dart board, the first camera 50, the second camera 51, and the third camera Imaging recording by the camera 52 is started.

  Then, the imaging recording unit 83 ends the imaging recording when a shooting time (Y + α) obtained by adding a predetermined time (α) to the throwing time (Y) after the imaging recording is started. For example, when the predetermined time (α) is set to “2 seconds”, the imaging recording unit 83 adds “2 seconds” to the throwing time “1 second”, and performs imaging after “3 seconds” from the start of imaging recording. End recording.

  Then, the image recording unit 83 stores the video that has been imaged and recorded in the video storage unit 72 in association with the athlete and the throwing time. For example, the imaging recording unit 83 stores data in the video storage unit 72 as “Athlete: A, 1st, video of the first camera, video of the second camera, video of the third camera”.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the imaging recording unit 83 includes a player's video input from the first camera 50, a display monitor video input from the second camera 51, and a dart input from the third camera 52. The video synthesized with the video on the board is stored in the video storage unit 72 in association with the current player's throwing time “player: A, first throw”.

  In addition, the imaging device 10 can also deliver the video of the throwing situation stored in association with the athlete. For example, the imaging apparatus 10 uses the “thrower: A, first throw, first camera video, second camera video, third camera video” stored in the video storage unit 72 as the competitor “A”. To mobile phones owned by.

  In addition, even when the athlete's personal throwing time is already stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71, the time processing unit 82 uses the athlete and the personal throwing time corresponding to the throwing time information received from the information processing unit 81. It is also possible to obtain and update on average with the obtained personal throwing time.

  For example, in the time processing unit 82, the player “A” who has already stored the personal pitching time “Athlete: A, first pitch: 5 seconds” in the pitching preparation time storage unit 71 is the first pitching attempt. When the calculated personal throwing time is “6 seconds”, the personal throwing time of “Athlete: A, 1st throw” is updated to “5.5 seconds” and stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71. Store.

[Processing Procedure by Imaging Device in Embodiment 1]
Next, processing performed by the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a personal throwing time acquisition process for each player's throwing time by the imaging device according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 6 illustrates a recording process by the imaging device according to the first embodiment. FIG.

[Procedure of acquisition processing of personal throwing time for each throwing time of each athlete by the imaging device in Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, in the personal throwing time acquisition process described with reference to FIG. 5, a procedure after the time processing unit 82 obtains the player information and the throwing time information from the card reader 20 and the dart machine 40 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, when the trial is started (Yes in Step S101), the time processing unit 82 starts time measurement (Step S102). That is, the time processing unit 82 starts time measurement by receiving the trial start time from the information processing unit 81. Note that “the start time of the first shot's trial” is “the time when the athlete has stood in the throwing position” detected by the pressure sensor 30, and “the start time of each of the second and third throws” This is “the point in time when the first dart and the second dart have reached the dart board” detected by the dart machine 40.

  And the time process part 82 will complete | finish time measurement, if a trial is complete | finished (step S103 affirmation) (step S104). That is, the time processing unit 82 ends the time measurement by receiving the trial end point from the information processing unit 81. The “trial end time” for each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd throws is “when the dart reaches the dart board” for each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd throws.

  After that, the time processing unit 82 calculates the time obtained by subtracting the throwing time from the trial time, which is the elapsed time from the start time to the end time, as the personal throwing time (step S105, (A) in FIG. )reference).

  Subsequently, the time processing unit 82 associates the calculated personal throwing time with the previously acquired player information and throwing time information and stores them in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 (step S106).

  Here, the information processing section 81 determines whether or not there is a throwing time based on the throwing time information received from the dart machine 40. When it is determined that there are remaining throwing times (Yes at Step S107), the imaging device 10 according to the first embodiment returns to Step S101 and acquires throwing time information.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the determination process in step S107 that there is no throwing time remaining (No in step S107), the imaging device 10 in the first embodiment ends the process.

  When updating the personal throwing time, the time processing unit 82 calculates an average value of the player's personal throwing time already stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 and the newly calculated personal throwing time. Thereafter, the calculated average value is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 as a new personal throwing time.

[Procedure of recording process by imaging apparatus in embodiment 1]
As shown in FIG. 6, first, in the imaging device 10 according to the first embodiment, when an athlete inserts an IC card into the card reader 20 (Yes in step S201), the information processing unit 81 receives all the athletes from the card reader 20. The player information and the order of performing the trials are acquired (step S202). For example, the information processing unit 81 acquires that the athletes “A”, “B”, and “C” perform the trials in the order of “1st: A, 2nd: B, 3rd: C”. In the procedure of the recording process in FIG. 6, the procedure of the recording process of the throwing situation when the player who has already stored the personal throwing time in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 performs the dart competition will be described.

  And the imaging recording part 83 acquires the personal throwing time of all the athletes from the throwing preparation time memory | storage part 71 based on the athlete information transferred from the information processing part 81 (step S203). For example, the imaging recording unit 83 reads “player: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds, third throw: 3 seconds” from the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 shown in FIG. "Athlete: B, 1st pitch: 8 seconds, 2nd pitch: 5 seconds, 3rd pitch: 4 seconds", "Athlete: C, 1st pitch: 3 seconds, 2nd pitch: 3 seconds, 3 "Throwing: 2 seconds" is acquired.

  Furthermore, the imaging recording unit 83 acquires “current player order, throwing time information” from the dart machine 40 via the information processing unit 81 (step S204). The imaging recording unit 83 acquires “current player order, throwing time information” from the dart machine 40 as “first player, first throw” as “current player turn, throwing time”. Here, since the imaging recording unit 83 is “Athlete: No. 1”, the imaging player 83 acquires that the Athlete performing the competition at the present time is “A”.

  Subsequently, when the time processing unit 82 receives the trial start time via the information processing unit 81 (Yes in step S205), the time processing unit 82 starts time measurement and transmits the elapsed time to the imaging recording unit 83 (step S206). . Note that “the start time of the first shot's trial” is “the time when the athlete has stood in the throwing position” detected by the pressure sensor 30, and “the start time of each of the second and third throws” This is “the point in time when the first dart and the second dart have reached the dart board” detected by the dart machine 40.

  Here, when the elapsed time reaches the personal throwing time corresponding to the current player's throwing time (Yes at Step S207), the imaging recording unit 83 starts the imaging and recording using the three photographing cameras (Step S207). S208). Specifically, the imaging recording unit 83 starts imaging recording by the first camera 50, the second camera 51, and the third camera 52 after the personal throwing time corresponding to the throwing time has elapsed from the start of the trial.

  For example, if the current athlete is “A” and the first throw is thrown, the imaging / recording unit 83 may change the number of times after “5 seconds” have passed since the athlete “A” stood in the throwing position. Recording of images taken by one camera 50, second camera 51, and third camera 52 is started.

  If the shooting time has elapsed since the start of imaging recording (Yes at step S209), the imaging recording unit 83 ends the imaging recording using the three shooting cameras, and the time processing unit 82 performs time measurement. The process ends (step S210).

  After that, the imaging recording unit 83 associates the video shot by the first camera 50, the video shot by the second camera 51, and the video shot by the third camera 52 with the thrower's throwing times, and the video storage unit 72. (Step S211).

  Here, the information processing unit 81 determines whether or not a game is currently being played. If the game is being played (Yes at Step S212), the imaging device 10 according to the first embodiment returns to Step S204 and performs the same processing. Execute.

  On the other hand, when the game is not in progress, that is, when the game is over (No in step S212), the imaging device 10 in the first embodiment ends the process. For example, whether or not the information processing unit 81 has received the information on the end of the trial of the “third throw” of “Athlete: No. 3” a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times when the trial is performed 10 times). Whether or not the competition is over is determined.

  Note that the imaging device 10 according to the first embodiment may store the recorded video in the video storage unit 72 in step S211 and then distribute the video to the athlete.

[Effect of Example 1]

The imaging recording unit 83 is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 from the time when the competitor starts the trial when the player whose personal throwing time is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 performs the dart competition. The imaging recording is started when the personal throwing time has elapsed. Accordingly, it is possible to record only the throwing situation that does not include the player's preparation situation, and it is possible to minimize the amount of recorded video data.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 further supports the personal throwing time for each throwing time for each player when the throwing time when the same player throws the dart is set. Add and remember. The imaging recording unit 83 prepares for throwing from the time when the player starts the trial when the player who has stored the personal throwing time for each throwing time by the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 performs the dart competition. Imaging recording starts when the personal throwing time stored in the time storage unit 71 has elapsed. Therefore, even if the same athlete's throwing times are set, only the throwing situation that does not include the athlete's preparation situation can be recorded corresponding to the throwing preparation time of each throwing time, and video recording data The amount can be minimized.

  In the first embodiment described above, the case where imaging recording of the throwing situation is started using the acquired personal throwing time has been described. In the second embodiment, the obtained personal throwing time is corrected according to the player's score. A case where imaging recording is started will be described.

[Outline and Features of Imaging Device in Embodiment 2]
First, the main features of the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the outline and features of the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment.

  The imaging device according to the second embodiment corrects the personal throwing time according to the player's score, and starts recording the throwing situation based on the corrected personal throwing time. Specifically, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment performs an extension or shortening correction of the player's personal throwing time according to the current score of each player, and the throwing based on the corrected personal throwing time. Start recording status.

  Here, in the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment, the correction processing start time based on the remaining number of trials is set in advance. Specifically, when the correction processing start time is set as “the number of remaining trials: 2”, the imaging device in the second embodiment performs the competition for the athletes “A, B” who are performing a count-up competition for high scores. And C ”are all scored when“ remaining trials: 2 ”. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment has the current score “A: 600, B: when the number of remaining attempts: 2” of the competitors “A, B, and C”. 130, C: 500 "is acquired.

  And the imaging device in Example 2 determines the correction process object player who performs a correction process from the present score. Specifically, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment compares the current scores of all the competitors, and determines the lower-ranking player as the correction target player. For example, when the current scores are “A: 600”, “B: 130”, and “C: 500”, the image pickup apparatus according to the second embodiment has the third place “B” and the second place “C”. Is determined as the amended competitor.

  The imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment extends the personal throwing time of the correction target player from the remaining number of attempts and the current score when the next throwing player is the correction target player. Alternatively, it is determined whether to shorten (hereinafter referred to as correction processing content). For example, first, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment has “remaining number of attempts: 2”, that is, “remaining throwing number: 6 times”, and the highest score in one throwing dart competition is “60”. From the above, the acquirable score of each competitor is calculated to be “360”. The imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment cannot reverse the players “A” and “C” when the player who performs the next throwing is the player “B” who is currently third. The personal throwing time of the player “B” is shortened by a predetermined ratio. On the other hand, the imaging device in the second embodiment is the player “C” who is the second highest player to throw next. In some cases, it is determined that it can be reversed, and the personal throwing time of the competitor “C” is extended by a predetermined rate.

  Here, if the predetermined ratio is 20%, the imaging device according to the second embodiment sets the personal throwing time of the player “B” as “first throw: 6.4 seconds” as shown in FIG. Second pitch: 4 seconds, third pitch: 3.2 seconds ”is performed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment sets the personal throwing time of the player “C” as “first throw: 3.6 seconds, second throw: 3.6 seconds, third throw: The extension is corrected to “2.4 seconds”.

  Then, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment, when recording the throwing situation of the correction target player “B” or “C”, corrects the personal throwing time after correction corresponding to the throwing time of the correction target player from the start of the trial. After the elapse of time, imaging recording of the throwing situation is started.

  Further, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment executes the above-described personal throwing time correction process in each trial after the correction process start time. In other words, the imaging device according to the second embodiment determines and corrects the target player for correction by obtaining the scores of all the players even when the remaining number of attempts of all the players A, B, and C is “1”. A possible score calculation process and a personal throwing time correction process are performed.

  For this reason, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment can start the recording of the throwing situation in response to a change in the throwing preparation time due to the psychological situation of the athlete, and the amount of data for recording the throwing situation can be reduced. It becomes possible to minimize.

  In this embodiment, the correction processing using the same 20% ratio for both the extension correction and the shortening correction has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and different ratios may be used for the extension correction and the shortening correction. The correction process may be performed by using this.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the personal throwing time is corrected by using whether the lower-ranking player can be reversed as an index has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the higher-ranking player scores the highest score ever. The personal throwing time may be corrected by using as an index whether or not there is a possibility of obtaining the Furthermore, in this embodiment, the count-up competition has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other dart competitions such as a 01 competition in which a predetermined score is obtained first. Applicable.

[Configuration of Imaging Apparatus in Embodiment 2]
Next, the configuration of the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8, the imaging apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment is different from the imaging apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment in that a correction processing unit 84 is newly provided. Hereinafter, this will be mainly described.

  The information processing unit 81 transmits the current scores and the remaining number of attempts of all the competitors to the correction processing unit 84, which will be described later, at the start of the correction process when the number of remaining attempts reaches a predetermined number. For example, when the correction processing start time is set to “remaining trial number: 2”, the information processing unit 81 sets the current score “A: 600” of all the competitors when the remaining number of trials reaches “2”. ”,“ B: 130 ”,“ C: 500 ”and the remaining number of attempts“ 2 ”are transmitted to the correction processing unit 84 described later.

  The correction processing unit 84 determines a correction target player who performs correction processing from the current scores of all the players received from the information processing unit 81. For example, when the current scores of all competitors are “A: 600”, “B: 130”, and “C: 500”, the correction processing unit 84 is the second-ranked player “C” and the third-ranked player. “B” is determined as the player to be corrected.

  Then, the correction processing unit 84 determines the correction processing content of the personal throwing time of the correction target player stored by the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 from the current scores and the remaining number of trials received from the information processing unit 81. To do. Specifically, the correction processing unit 84 first calculates an acquirable score from the remaining number of attempts received from the information processing unit 81.

  For example, when the remaining number of trials received from the information processing unit 81 is “2”, the correction processing unit 84 sets the score that can be acquired because the highest score in one throw of the dart competition is “60”. “360” is calculated.

  And the correction process part 84 determines the correction | amendment process content of the personal throwing time of a correction | amendment object player from the current score and acquirable score of all the competitors received from the information processing part 81. FIG. Specifically, the correction processing unit 84 determines the correction processing content of the personal throwing time of the correction target player based on the total score obtained by adding the acquirable score to the current score.

  For example, when a count-up competition is being performed, the current score is “A: 600”, “B: 130”, “C: 500”, and the acquirable score is “360”, the correction processing unit 84 determines the content of the correction process for the personal throwing time of the correction target player as follows.

  First, when the player to be thrown next is the player “B” who is currently ranked third, the correction processing unit 84 adds the acquirable score “360” to the current score “130”, 490 "is calculated. Here, the correction processing unit 84 cannot reverse the current score “600” of the player “A” in which the player “B” is first and the current score “500” of the player “C” in the second place. And the content of the personal throwing time correction process for the player “B” is determined as the shortening correction.

  On the other hand, when the next player to be thrown is the player “C” who is currently ranked second, the correction processing unit 84 adds the acquirable score “360” to the current score “500” and adds up the score “860”. Is calculated. Here, the correction processing unit 84 determines that the player “C” can reverse the current score “600” of the first player “A” and corrects the personal throwing time of the player “C”. The content is determined as an extension correction.

  And the correction | amendment process part 84 correct | amends the personal throwing time of the correction | amendment subject player memorize | stored by the throwing preparation time memory | storage part 71 based on the content of correction | amendment processing by a predetermined | prescribed ratio. For example, when the predetermined ratio is 20% and the player who performs the next throwing is “B”, the correction processing unit 84, as shown in FIG. Second, 2nd: 5 seconds, 3rd: 4 seconds "shortened to" Competitor: B, 1st: 6.4 seconds, 2nd: 4 seconds, 3rd: 3.2 seconds " To do. On the other hand, when the predetermined ratio is 20% and the next player to throw is “C”, the correction processing unit 84 determines that “competitor: C, first throw: 3 seconds, second throw: 3 Second, 3rd: 2 seconds "is extended to" Competitor: C, 1st: 3.6 seconds, 2nd: 3.6 seconds, 3rd: 2.4 seconds ".

  Then, the correction processing unit 84 transmits the corrected personal throwing time of the current player to the imaging recording unit 83. For example, the correction processing unit 84 is “Athlete: B, 1st pitch: 6.4 seconds, 2nd pitch: 4 seconds, 3rd pitch: 3.2 seconds” or “Athlete: C, 1st pitch: 3.6 seconds, 2nd throw: 3.6 seconds, 3rd throw: 2.4 seconds ”is transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83.

  The imaging recording unit 83 starts imaging recording of the throwing situation by three cameras based on the elapsed time transmitted from the time processing unit 82. For example, the image capturing / recording unit 83 receives the personal throwing time from the correction processing unit 84, and when “6.4 seconds” have elapsed since the player “B” stood at the throwing position, The imaging recording of “B”, the imaging recording of the display monitor by the second camera 51 and the imaging recording of the dart board by the third camera 52 are started.

  In addition, the imaging recording unit 83 performs imaging recording by the first camera 50, the second camera 51, and the third camera 52 when “3.6 seconds” have elapsed since the time when the player “C” stood in the throwing position. Start.

  Note that the imaging apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment performs the personal throwing time correction process described above in each trial after the correction process start time. That is, the information processing unit 81 acquires the scores of all the players and transmits them to the correction processing unit 84 even when the number of remaining trials of all the players A, B, and C becomes “1”. Then, the correction processing unit 84 performs a correction target player determination process, an acquirable score calculation process, and a personal throwing time correction process using the received scores of all the members. The imaging recording unit 83 starts imaging recording with the personal throwing time corresponding to the throwing time corrected by the correction processing unit 84 at the time of throwing the correction target player.

[Procedure for Processing by Imaging Device in Embodiment 2]
Next, processing performed by the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining processing performed by the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment.

  Note that the same processing as the recording processing procedure performed by the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 6 is performed after the start of the count-up competition by the player until the correction processing start time is reached.

  As shown in FIG. 9, first, in the imaging device 10 according to the second embodiment, a player whose personal throwing time is stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 actually performs a dart game and the remaining number of trials is set to a predetermined number. When it has been reached (Yes at Step S301), the correction processing unit 84 acquires the remaining number of attempts and the current scores of all players (Step S302).

  For example, when the correction processing start time is “the number of remaining attempts: 2”, the correction processing unit 84 passes the current scores “A: 600”, “B: 130” of all competitors via the information processing unit 81, “C: 500” and “number of remaining attempts: 2” are acquired (see FIG. 7).

  And the correction | amendment process part 84 determines the correction | amendment object player which correct | amends from the acquired current score of all the competitors (step S303). For example, when the current scores of all competitors are “A: 600”, “B: 130”, and “C: 500”, the correction processing unit 84 is the second-ranked player “C” and the third-ranked player. “B” is determined as the competitor to be corrected.

  And the correction | amendment process part 84 calculates the acquirable score in the acquired number of remaining trials, when the player who throws next is a player for correction | amendment (step S304 affirmation) (step S305). For example, if the number of remaining attempts: 2 times, the correction processing unit 84 is “remaining number of throws: 6”, and the maximum score in one throw of the dart competition is “60”. The obtainable score is calculated as “360”.

  And the correction | amendment process part 84 determines the correction | amendment process content of a correction | amendment object player from the present score of the player who throws next, and the calculated acquirable score (step S306).

  For example, when the player who performs the next throwing is “B”, the correction processing unit 84 adds the acquirable score “360” to the current score “130” and the upper player “A”. And the current scores “600” and “500” of “C” are compared to determine that they cannot be reversed. And the correction | amendment process part 84 determines the correction | amendment process content of the player's "B" personal throwing time as shortening correction | amendment.

  In addition, when the player to be thrown next is “C”, the correction processing unit 84 adds the total score “860” obtained by adding the acquirable score “360” to the current score “500” and the upper player “A”. Is compared with the current score “600”, and it is determined that it can be reversed. And the correction | amendment process part 84 determines the correction | amendment process content of the player's "C" personal throwing time as an extension correction | amendment.

  Then, the correction processing unit 84 acquires the personal throwing time of the correction target player stored in the throwing order time storage unit 71 (step S307), corrects it at a predetermined rate, and transmits it to the imaging storage unit 83. (Step S308). For example, when the player who performs the next throwing is “B”, the correction processing unit 84 reads “Athlete: B, 1st throw: 8 seconds, 2nd throw: 5 seconds, 3rd throw: 4 seconds "is acquired. When the predetermined ratio is 20%, the correction processing unit 84 sets the personal throwing time as “Athlete: B, 1st throw: 6.4 seconds, 2nd throw: 4 seconds, 3rd throw: 3. Shortening correction to “2 seconds” is performed and transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83.

  In addition, when the player who performs the next throwing is “C”, the correction processing unit 84 reads “Athlete: C, 1st throw: 3 seconds, 2nd throw: 3 seconds, 3rd throw: 2 seconds "is acquired, and the personal throwing time is" Athlete: C, 1st throw: 3.6 seconds, 2nd throw: 3.6 seconds, 3rd throw: 2.4 seconds " Extension correction is performed and transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83.

  On the other hand, when the player who performs the next throwing is not the player to be corrected (No at Step S304), the correction processing unit 84 personally throws the player who will perform the next throwing stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71. Time is acquired and transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83 (step S309). For example, when the player who performs the next throwing is “A”, the correction processing unit 84 shows “Athlete: A, first throw: 5 seconds, second throw: 3 seconds” shown in FIG. 3rd throw: 3 seconds ”is acquired and transmitted to the imaging recording unit 83.

  Subsequently, the imaging recording unit 83 performs imaging recording processing for all the players in the corresponding attempt based on the personal throwing time (step S310). That is, the imaging recording unit 83 is based on the corrected personal throwing time acquired via the correction processing unit 84 for the correction target player, and from the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 for the non-correction target player. Imaging recording is started based on the acquired personal throwing time.

  Then, the information processing unit 81 determines whether or not the game is still being played at the current time. If the game is being played (Yes at Step S311), the imaging device 10 according to the second embodiment returns to Step S302 and continues the process. That is, after the imaging device 10 in Example 2 obtains the remaining number of attempts and the current scores of all the competitors, and performs the determination of the correction target player and the correction processing of the correction target player's personal throwing time, Record the shooting situation.

  On the other hand, when the game is over (No at Step S311), the imaging device 10 according to the second embodiment ends the process.

[Effect of Example 2]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, the correction processing unit 84 has the personal throwing time stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 according to the current score of the player who is currently performing the dart competition. Is corrected at a predetermined rate. Then, the imaging recording unit 83 starts imaging recording of the player's throwing situation based on the personal throwing time corrected by the correction processing unit 84. Therefore, it is possible to cope with a change in personal throwing time due to the psychological situation of the athlete, and to minimize the amount of recorded video data.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described so far, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms other than the embodiments described above. Therefore, in the following, various different embodiments will be described by being divided into (1) to (5).

(1) Imaging Recording In the first and second embodiments described above, the case where the imaging recording based on the personal throwing time is performed with respect to the player who has already stored the personal throwing time at the start of the competition has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be a case in which imaging recording based on the personal throwing time is performed from the middle of the competition for a player whose personal throwing time is not stored at the start of the competition.

  For example, when the player D whose personal throwing time is not memorized starts the game and executes the first, second and third throws in the first attempt, the time processing unit 82 The personal throwing time for each throwing time of D is calculated and stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71. And the imaging recording part 83 performs the imaging recording based on the personal throwing time regarding the second and subsequent attempts by the player D.

  Thereby, imaging recording can be started based on the personal throwing time for each athlete's throwing time, including the case of recording the throwing situation of the athlete who has not previously stored the personal throwing time. The amount of recording data can be minimized.

(2) Storage of Personal Throwing Time In the first and second embodiments described above, the case where the personal throwing time calculated by the time processing unit 82 is always stored in the throwing preparation time storage unit 71 has been described. However, in practice, there is a case where the dart does not pierce the dart board during the competition and the dart is hit by the dart machine 40 may not be detected. In such a case, for example, the athlete notifies the end of the throwing by pressing an end button attached to the dart machine 40. Here, the reliability of the calculated personal throwing time is low even when the point in time when the end button is pressed is set as the end point of the corresponding throwing trial. That is, in the present invention, in order to avoid using a personal throwing time with low reliability, when the time processing unit 82 is pressed, the personal throwing time is not calculated and stored. It may be a case where the personal throwing time calculation and storage processing is executed in the next attempt.

(3) Throwing Competition In the first and second embodiments described above, the case where the amount of recording data obtained by capturing the throwing situation using the personal throwing time when dart competition is performed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an archery competition is performed as a throwing competition, the amount of recorded data obtained by imaging the throwing situation using a personal throwing time is minimized. May be.

(4) System Configuration, etc. Further, the processing procedures, specific names, information including various data and parameters described in the above embodiments can be arbitrarily updated unless otherwise specified. For example, the predetermined time (α) in the photographing time when the image recording unit 83 in Examples 1 and 2 performs image recording can be arbitrarily set.

  Each component of each illustrated device is functionally conceptual and does not necessarily have to be the same as the physically illustrated component. That is, the specific form (for example, the form of FIG. 3) of the dispersion | distribution / integration of each process part and each memory | storage part is not necessarily shown in figure. For example, it is not limited to the case where the imaging device 10 is installed independently, and may be a case where it is built in the dart machine 40. Further, all or any part of each processing function performed in each device may be realized by a CPU and a program analyzed and executed by the CPU, or may be realized as hardware by wired logic.

(5) Imaging Program In the first and second embodiments, the case where various processes are realized by hardware logic has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a program prepared in advance is used. It may be executed on a computer. Therefore, in the following, an example of a computer that executes an imaging program having the same function as that of the imaging apparatus 10 shown in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
