DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for managing scores in an athletic competition for scoring points.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for managing a score in an athletic competition, there is a ball-ball score recording and tallying system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-14874. In this apparatus, a figure corresponding to a plane shape of a volleyball coat is drawn on an operation surface of an input device, and a player processes a ball among a plurality of keys arranged inside the coat figure. By pressing the position key, two pieces of information indicating the position at which the play was performed and the team are simultaneously input, and then the key to which the participating players are assigned and the type of the play are indicated. By repeatedly inputting information such as the player who played by pressing the key and the type of information of the player until the ball-out, the input information is totaled by the microcomputer, and the totaling result is obtained. By printing out or displaying on a display, it is possible to use the record of the score and the analysis of the attack course related to the acquisition of the score.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, it is involved in obtaining a score, such as discrimination between the position where the play was performed and the team, and information on the player who played and the type of the player. All you have to do is enter information about the event and aggregate it.
No consideration is given to displaying the progress of the competition on the notification display means such as an electronic bulletin board of the stadium based on the input information. For this reason, a staff member for reporting must be separately arranged to notify the progress of the competition to spectators and the like in the stadium, and there has been a problem that efficiency in managing the entire competition is inefficient.

Also, since the input device for inputting information such as the position at which the player played the game has a structure in which a plurality of keys are arranged vertically and horizontally at predetermined intervals inside a coat figure, a nine-player ballet is used.
The position of the players is fixed like a ball, and the simple shape of the coat is useful. However, the contour of the coat should include an arc shape such as a basketball. In competitions with complex and complex coat shapes,
There is a problem that it is difficult to express the coat shape on the input device, and the coat shape cannot be applied. Further, even if it is forcibly applied, there is a problem that information of the played position is lacking in precision, and it is difficult to input intuitively based on vision.

[0005] Furthermore, there is a problem in that consideration is not given to the recording of the time at which the player plays, and the technique cannot be applied to a time game such as basketball.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, can efficiently manage the entire game, and can accurately and intuitively obtain information on the played position without being restricted by the coat shape. It is an object of the present invention to provide an athletic sport score management method that can be input and can also simultaneously manage the time at which a play was performed.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to efficiently manage the entire game, the present invention provides a display means for displaying the progress of an athletic competition competing for points, and a series of points related to the points and their acquisition. An input display means for displaying an event input area for inputting the event in the display screen, and a corresponding position of the event input area displayed on the input display means when a score and an event related to the acquisition thereof are indicated, A screen position specifying means for inputting information on a score and a series of events relating to the acquisition thereof in the order of occurrence is provided. The screen position specifying means inputs information on the score and a series of events relating to the acquisition thereof, and inputs the information. In conjunction with this, the progress of the athletic competition including the score is displayed on the notification display means.

[0008] Also, there is no restriction on the coat shape.
In order to enable accurate and intuitive input of information on the position, etc., that has been performed, an area with a shape corresponding to the planar shape of the stadium is displayed in the event input area of the input display means, and points are obtained. The occurrence position of the related event is input by designating the event occurrence corresponding position in this area by the screen position designation means.

Further, in order to be able to simultaneously manage the time at which the play was performed, a timer for managing the time of occurrence of the event is provided, and the event is managed in association with the time of occurrence.

[0010]

According to the above-mentioned means, the points such as scores, fouls, change of players, timeouts, etc. generated during the competition and the information relating to the acquisition thereof are displayed on the screen in the corresponding position of the event input area displayed on the input display means. When the information is input by instructing by the designation means, the progress of the athletic competition including the score is displayed on the notification display means constituted by, for example, an electronic bulletin board, in conjunction with the input of this information. This allows you to enter your score at the same time without having to assign a special agent,
Players, coaches, officials, spectators, etc. in the stadium can be notified of the progress of the competition.

In addition, when an event such as a score is input, an occurrence position of an event related to obtaining a score is set within an area having a shape corresponding to the plane shape of the stadium displayed in the event input area of the input display means. Is designated by the screen position designation means. As a result, even in a game having a complicated coat shape such as a basketball, the coat shape can be easily expressed, and information on the played position can be precisely and intuitively provided. It becomes possible to input.

In addition, since a timer is provided,
It is possible to manage events, such as the time when the game was interrupted or the game was interrupted or resumed, in association with the time when the event occurred.

In FIG. 9, first, in step 81, when an event such as a score or a foul occurs, the operator sets the event occurrence position in the event input area indicated inside the line group 41 of the input display means 1 by the operator. Since the position is specified by matching the point 47 of the screen position specifying means 4 to the corresponding position, the event occurrence position is obtained by the coordinate position of the point 47 and the process proceeds to step 82. In step 82, the event occurrence position designated by the point destination 47 is determined. If the position is within the line group 41, it is determined that a play to be a score has been performed, and the process proceeds to step 83.
Otherwise, go to step 87.

In step 83, the currently valid line among the two three-point lines 42 and 43 is determined based on the current right of attack. If the event occurrence position is in the 3-point area, the score is set to 3 points. If there are two points. By managing the score by associating the score area with the event occurrence area in this way, the operation of inputting the score can be omitted, and the information can be promptly input.

In step 84, the pop-up window shown in FIG. 7A is displayed, and the player who has scored by the designation of the point destination 47 is selected.

In step 85, the scorer and the score are recorded in the competition history table 11, the score is added to the total score column 37, and the player information table 12 is updated. Further, the score after the addition is displayed on the notification display means 2 constituted by an electric bulletin board, and the processing in FIG. 9 ends.

On the way, in step 86, the position of the point 47 is determined. If the position of the point 47 is within the arrow 46 indicating the current attack right, the process proceeds to step 87, and the position of the point 47 is changed to the arrow. If it is outside 46, the process proceeds to step 88. In step 87, the attack right is reversed,
The direction of the arrow 46 indicating the current attack right is reversed, and the processing in FIG. 9 ends.

In step 88, it is determined that an event other than the scoring, which involves interruption of the game, has occurred, and the current time value of the timer means 10 indicating the elapsed time of the game is stored. In step 89, the pop-up window shown in FIG. 7B is displayed, and the specified event is selected by specifying the point 47. In steps 90, 95, and 97, the event selected in step 89 is determined. If the event is a foul, the process proceeds to step 91;
If the timeout has occurred, the process proceeds to step 98, otherwise, the process of FIG. 9 ends.

At step 91, the uniform number or coach of the player who committed the foul is selected in the same manner as at step 84, and the table is updated with respect to the foul in the same manner as at step 85.

In step 92, if a free throw is to be performed due to a foul, the process proceeds to step 93. If no free throw is to be performed, the process proceeds to step 94. Step 9
In step 3, the table is updated according to the result of the free throw, as in step 85. In step 94, step 88
The elapsed time of the game saved in the step is restored to the timer means 10,
The processing of FIG. 9 ends.

In step 96, a player to be replaced is selected in the same manner as in step 84, the table is updated as in step 85, and the routine proceeds to step 94. Step 98
Then, a time-out time is set in the timer means 10 and the remaining time is displayed on the notification display means 2. Then, when the remaining time becomes “0”, the process proceeds to step 94.

When the speed of the game is fast, it is conceivable that the operation for inputting various events accompanying the progress of the game cannot be followed by only one screen position designating means 4. In such a case, May be provided with a plurality of screen position designating means, one of which only inputs the event occurrence position, and the other inputs the player name and the content of the event separately.

In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a basketball is described. However, the present invention can be applied to all athletic sports in which scores are competed. Of course, in that case, the content to be displayed on the input display means 1 is selected according to the content of the competition.
