Description

In competitions where players or teams such as table tennis, badminton, and tennis compete against each other and the referee performs refereeing duties on the extension of the central net, the referee has the right to serve the players or teams in front of the referee. The progress of the game is managed by judging and counting the score according to the rules of the target competition, giving the player an oral answer or displaying the score, and using it as the referee's own referee information.
Before the start of the match, the right to serve is contested, and it is decided whether to get the right to serve or to choose the side to play first. When the match starts, the match progresses under the control of the competition referee according to the score, and ends when the outcome of the match is decided.
The technical field of the present invention is used to support competition referees used in the above-mentioned competition games.

When a match is played in the competition, the referee must manage the progress of the match in accordance with the rules of the competition in order to perform the refereeing work. The umpire decides the score and the location of the right to serve according to the rules, and informs the player or team to the player by display or verbally to promote the match. Therefore, the referee must be familiar with the rules of the competition.
In the competition, the player or team plays a match on the left and right sides of the referee, and the status of the match is displayed on various scoreboards.
In that case, the content of the referee facts is communicated using the information terminal, and the deputy referee or the department in charge of display confirms the referee facts and displays the scoreboard.
Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which a referee sends the content of a referee using a communication means in baseball, and a department that manages the scoreboard operates the system to display the scoreboard.
Patent Document 2 discloses a system that supports a player in a golf competition.

In order to perform the competition refereeing work, the referee had to know the rules of the competition, input many judgment facts, and display them on the scoreboard.
The need to be familiar with this rule and the large amount of judgment work put a burden on the refereeing work even in informal games, and it was not possible for anyone to make a refereeing.
The idea is to solve this shortcoming by displaying information that supports the refereeing work of the game with simple and simple operation input.

The information terminal device of the present invention includes a microprocessor that performs calculations and determinations. The device is equipped with an operation unit such as a switch for designating the serve right at the start of the game and inputting and operating the score. In addition, the device is provided with a display unit that displays the location of the serve right, the score, the number of wins in the game, the number of sets / games in one game, and the like.
Calculations and judgments are automatically performed by a microcomputer program according to the input operations performed by the simple referee, such as score counting according to the competition rules, whereabouts of the serve right, change end, and deuce judgment. ..
The information terminal device has a communication interface, and sends characters corresponding to the input operation to the display device.
The display device of the present invention is a system such as a personal computer, which can perform calculations and judgments by a program, and includes a display unit such as a display device, an operation unit for starting and terminating a program, and a storage unit for storing programs and data. Be prepared.
The score is displayed on the display unit in the same manner as the display unit of the information terminal device by the same program processing as the calculation and determination of the information terminal device.
The displayed contents are based on calculations and judgments in accordance with the rules of the competition, and the referee does not need to perform those calculations and judgments, and only needs to give an instruction to proceed by looking at the display.
As a result, the refereeing work is supported and the above-mentioned problems of the refereeing work are solved.

As described above, even if the referee does not know the detailed rules of the competition, he / she can simply input the information required for the referee's work to the operation unit of the information terminal device in accordance with the competition rules. Since the result of calculation and judgment is displayed on the display unit, it is possible to easily obtain support information for refereeing work by looking at the information and manage the progress of the game.
Therefore, even if you do not know the detailed rules of the competition, you can easily perform the refereeing work.

Refer to the following assumptions for a brief description of the drawings.
From now on, the left and right will be the left and right as seen from the referee.
