Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides an automatic scoring device for a bowling game,
Specifically, the score value and the cumulative score value of each of the plurality of bowlers in each of the three coring frames are automatically calculated based on the information identifying the plurality of bowlers registered in advance and the detection information of the fallen pin. The present invention relates to an automatic scoring device for a bowling game, comprising means for calculating and storing the score value, and means for displaying the score value.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of automatic scoring device described above,
Means was provided for automatically calculating and storing the score value in each scoring frame and the cumulative score value for each bowler based on the bowler identification information and the fallen pin information, as well as displaying the contents.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the above conventional means had the following disadvantages and was not easy to operate.

In other words, since the storage and display of the score value and the cumulative score value are erased after the game ends, for example, it is possible to automatically record the average or handicap of a particular bowler in multiple games that are repeated intermittently. It was not possible to calculate.

Therefore, for example, when playing a league game or a team game, it is extremely troublesome to calculate the handicap of each bowler or team.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a bowling game with means for continuously storing information on the number of games played by a bowler and their score values for each bowler. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic scoring device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the automatic scoring device for a bowling game according to the present invention is provided with means for previously providing code information for each bowl as the bowler identification information,
Means is provided for continuously storing at least the number of games played by a bowler to whom the code information is given and the cumulative score value in each game, even after all contents of the games displayed by the display means are erased. It has characteristics in points.

[For production]

That is, code information that corresponds one-to-one with the bowler name is assigned to each bowler in advance, and the code information is assigned by entering this code or searching for the code from the input bowler name. Check out the bowlers
When a bowler to whom this code information has been given plays a game, game records such as the number of games played and the cumulative score value are successively stored for each bowler.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The above-mentioned number of configurations has resulted in the following excellent effects being exhibited.

In other words, by adding specific code information to the bowler identification information, information on the number of games played and score value by the bowler can be automatically collected, regardless of the lane position where the bowler plays the game or the date and time of the game. It is possible to collect and store information quickly and continuously.

Therefore, based on the game record information collected and stored for each bowler, it has become possible to easily and automatically calculate statistical game information such as the bowler's handicap and average.

The end of the game in each lane can also be known by a notification from the customer to the front desk, but when the game end key (24) provided on the automatic scoring device (B) is pressed, the signal will indicate the end of the game. The game switch (35b
) It is also possible to automatically notify the front desk by blinking the display lamp (36b) provided at the front desk.

Next, based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), the operation of the automatic scoring device f(B) from the registration of bowler identification information to the start of pitching will be explained.

That is, when the front control device (C) makes it usable, the lane selection key (12a) provided on the center keyboard (4) is pressed.
) or (12b), that is, if odd numbered lanes are used, the left lane is used, and if even numbered lanes are used, the right lane is selected, as shown in Figure 7 (c).
Corresponding C RT (7a).

(7b) However, in the case of American format, both CRTs (7b)
a) Score table (8) displayed on the screen of (7b)
On the left side of the scoring frame with bowler number 1 on the top row, display a cursor with a "〉" mark facing the direction of the lane to be used, which also serves as a pitching instruction mark (34), and check whether it is a team competition format. .

In the case of a team competition format, information regarding the team such as the team name is inputted from the center keyboard (4) as shown below, and if the game is not a team competition format, information regarding the bowlers described later is inputted to start the game.

To enter information regarding the team, if there is a team code, erase the content displayed in the input field at the bottom left of the CRT screen (indicated by ■ in the figure) and press the team code key (14b). , followed by the number keys (16)
Enter your team code using . If you make a mistake, press the cancel key (21) and re-enter.

Note that the input information is displayed in the bottom column of the CRT screen.

Similarly, the team key (19b) is pressed and then the team name is entered using the name key (18).

If you want to set up a handicap camp for a team, press the team handicap key (17b) and then enter the value to complete the registration of information about the team and perform manual training for each howler information one by one. .

In other words, when inputting bowler identification information such as bowler name, use the bowler number key (
15) and specify the number using the number keys (16).

Here, if you want to use blind score format, press the blind key (13) and then input the value manually.

Next, if you want to set a pacer for the specified bowler number, press the pacer key (25) and press the pacer key (25).
The letter "P" is displayed to the left of the designated bowler number on the T screen (indicated by ■ in the figure).

Next, if there is a bowler code, press the bowler code key (14a), enter the code in the same manner as inputting the team code, check whether it is a team competition format, and if it is not a team competition format, Also, if you want to set the No. 1 Daycare Knob, press the Bowler Handicap Key (17a), then press the Team Code Key
Set the handicap knob to the bowler with the specified bowler number using the same procedure as for setting the knob.

Thereafter, the bowler name is input using the same procedure as for inputting the team name.

After inputting information regarding the game as described above is repeated for the number of bowlers playing the game, one of the lane keys (22a) and (22b) (the lane to be used) is pressed to start the game.

Incidentally, the registration operation of bowler identification information such as the bowler number and bowler name can be performed randomly by specifying the bowler number, regardless of the order of pitching, but it may also be performed in the order of the bowler number. .

The pitching instruction mark (34) is designed to move in conjunction with the bowler's number in order to automatically move to the position of the designated bowler's number when registering the bowler.

In addition, a bowler who has set up a blind format will have a “B” on the left side of his bowler number to indicate that he has set up the blind format.
In addition to displaying the characters, the numerical value is displayed in the total column (ToT
, the position indicated by ■ in the IF). Similarly, the handicap for the bowler is displayed in the corresponding i (HDP, indicated by ■ in the figure), and the team handicap is displayed in the bottom column of the HDP column (indicated by ■ in the figure).

In addition, each bowler's name displays the number of characters that can be displayed on the bowler old tree (PLR) with the specified bowler number, or the number of characters from the first character to the characters separated by the space key (20) when the bowler is a master player. During the game, all the characters of the input bowler's name are displayed in the name input field (indicated by ) in the figure, and the pitching instruction mark (34) is displayed at the bowler's number position (indicated by ■ in the figure).
).

However, this instruction mark (34) is not displayed when the American game format is set by the front control device (C).

Next, the flowchart shown in FIG. 8(a) and the flowchart shown in FIG.
The operation of the automatic scoring device after the start of the game will be explained based on the explanatory diagram of the RT screen shown in (b).

That is, the manual/auto changeover switch (35e
) is set to manual mode, and if it is set to manual mode, only automatic calculation of the score value is performed, and no control such as instructions for the next pitching bowler is performed, and the screen is displayed on the lane keyboard (5a, 5b). The game progresses by operating the provided bowler number key (28). In other words, select the bowler who should be pitching by using the bowler number key (
29) to give an instruction, and after pitching for one frame, the operation of manually specifying the next bowler's number is repeated. Therefore, the pitching order is determined regardless of the bowler's number.

In addition, the bowler name and pitching instruction mark (34) for which the corresponding bowler number has been designated manually or automatically are displayed as shown in Figure (b), and the cursor indicating the next pitching frame position is A flashing display (indicated by ■ in the figure) is displayed, and the display lamp (33) provided on the key numbered (2) of the designated bow is controlled to be lit until one frame of pitching is completed.

After that, or when in auto mode, check whether the game has ended, then check whether the score has been corrected, and if there is a correction, correct the score using the operation described below. If there is no correction, everyone's score will be changed. Check whether the calculation has been completed, that is, whether all bowlers have completed one game up to 10 frames.

If any one of the bowlers has not finished the game, the calculation and display of the score and the instruction of the next bowler and its frame position are repeated until the game is finished according to the procedure described above.

After that, check again whether the score has been corrected or not, check whether the game is over, and if the game end key (24) is pressed, end the game, and if necessary press the print key (23). , after printing the score sheet,
The end of the game is notified to the front control device (C), host computer (D) and front register (E), and fees are calculated and game records of teams or bowlers with registered codes are stored.

The front control device (C) is configured to cause a display lamp (36b) provided on the game switch (35b) to blink when notified of the end of the game,
This allows the front desk to know when the game is over at the same time.

On the other hand, if you want to continue the game, press the game start key (22a, 22b) for the corresponding lane, and if there is an empty area on the score table, start the game again from the manual/auto check step. Control corresponding to the progress is started, and if there is no free area or if desired, the print key (23) is pressed to print the score table, and then the score table is initialized and the next game is started.

Note that when the score table is initialized, the number of games is added by 1 and the frame position is displayed as "01" at the position shown in (b) of the same figure. Additionally, if you have a handicap and blind score,
The values are also redisplayed in the corresponding columns at the same time.

When correcting the score, press the correction key (29) provided on each lane keyboard (5a), (5b).
) to start the correction mode by pressing the return key (
30), and when the correction key (29) is pressed, the correction position is set at the bottom of the frame position where the pitching was completed one frame before the current frame position. Display the cursor (31) that indicates
(indicated by ■ in the figure).

If the pitching instruction cursor (indicated by ■ in the figure) is not displayed, a correction cursor (31) is displayed at the frame position immediately before the start of correction (indicated by ■ in the figure).

Then, press the cursor movement key (32) to move the cursor (31) to the frame position to be corrected, input a score value using the number keys (26) or symbol keys (27), and then move the cursor (31) to the frame position to be corrected. After erasing it, the score value at that position is changed to the input value, and the cumulative score value is recalculated and displayed.

The movement range of the cursor (31) is regulated in advance so that it cannot be moved to a frame position where a pitch has not been completed or a frame with a bowler number that has not been registered, and the input score value is not correct. The configuration is such that a check is made to ensure that a natural value, for example, a spare (1) symbol is manually entered at the first throw position, is not corrected.

In addition, when the score value is corrected, a correction mark (-) is displayed above the score value as shown by ■ in the figure, and the cursor is moved to the next frame or to the second throw position (Fig. (indicated by ■).

Hereinafter, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the means for automatically instructing the bowler who should pitch next will be explained using the left lane (odd numbered lane) as an example.

That is, it is checked whether the game format is the American format, and if it is not the American format, all the registered bowlers have finished the game, that is, if they have finished pitching up to the 10th frame, the controller (6) After clearing the bowler's number work arranged in the memory provided in the game, the process returns to the step of checking the end of the game.

If all the bowlers have not finished pitching up to the 10th frame, search for the number of the bowler with the minimum number of frames, and use pitching order work to determine the priority order when there are bowlers with the same minimum number of frames. Based on this, a bowler to pitch is determined, and a bowler number work is sent based on bowler identification information such as the bowler D bowler number and bowler name.

On the other hand, if the game format is the American format, first, the auto/manual setting is checked, and if the game format is manual, the same control as in the case where the game format is not the American format is performed.

If the auto mode is set, search for the bowler with the minimum number of frames displayed on the left CRT (7a) in the same way as above, and then search for the bowler with the minimum number of frames displayed on the right CRT (7b). The bowler to be bowled is determined on the left and right CRTs (7a) and (7b) by searching, and if there is no bowler, the bowler number work is cleared in the same manner as above.

On the other hand, if there is a pitcher, both the left and right CRTs (7a
) and (7b), compare the frame numbers of the bowlers with the smallest number of frames, and place the bowler with the smaller number of frames as the next bowler in the bowler number one work on the left lane.

Next, the bowler with the minimum number of frames on both the left and right CRTs is searched, and the next bowler to pitch in the right lane is determined based on the number of frames.

Therefore, for example, if a bowler interrupts a game midway through and then re-enters the game, the number of frames for that bowler will always be the minimum number of frames until he catches up with the frame in which the other bowler has finished bowling. Therefore, a bowler who interrupts the game can automatically continue bowling. Additionally, if a bowler interrupts the game, the bowler's pitching instructions are displayed on the CRT (7a).

(7b) when the lane keyboard (5) is displayed.
a) Bowler number key (28) provided in (5b)
By manually inputting the number of the bowler who will pitch next, the pitching order can be freely changed during the game.

Next, the score value is automatically calculated and displayed based on the overturned bottle information by the pin sensor (8) and the bowler information sent to the bowler number work, and the frame position detecting means at the time of score correction is activated. This will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, regardless of auto/manual, the frame position is determined based on the information entered into the bowler's first number work, and the pin sensor (^) G detects the overturned bin information (
A score value and a cumulative score value are calculated based on the number of pins, spurs/nodes, spares, strikes, etc.), and the score value and cumulative score value are calculated based on the
(7a, 7b).

On the other hand, if there is score correction and manual mode is set, the input key will be split (S).
), and if it is a split (S), the flag is set to display a split mark (S) on the CRT (7a, 7b).

And if there is no input of Supuri Nod (S), O mind,
Based on the input key, check whether correction is possible, search the display position of the cursor movement key (32),
A correction mark (-) is displayed at the relevant frame position, the input score value is displayed, and the correction cursor (3) is displayed.
1) is moved one position to the right and the score is recalculated.

Therefore, the auto/manual changeover switch (35e)
The control means for score calculation etc. when the auto mode is selected by ) will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the auto/manual switch (35e)
Checks whether the status is on the auto side, and if it is on the manual mode, does nothing and ends the auto process.

If it is in auto mode, check whether or not the falling pin information is input from the pin sensor (A), for example, 10
Check whether data such as the 3rd or 4th throw of the frame can be ignored.

Next, it is checked whether bowler information is written in the bowler number one work, and the pin sensor (
The input of the pin information from A) is checked again, the pin information is converted into a score value, and the completion of the conversion is checked.

Then, the converted score value is converted into the C'RT (7
Check whether the pitching instruction mark (34) indicating the position of the next score to be input is displayed, and the next pin information is checked. CRT (7a,
The score value is displayed in 7b).

However, the state of waiting for pin information input includes various states such as waiting for input of pin information for the first pitch, waiting for input of score correction for the first pitch, and waiting for input for the second pitch of the same frame. Moreover, when only the score is displayed, the display of "S" (S) is not made.

On the other hand, when the converted score value is not only displayed, that is, when it is the second pitch or a strike, etc., the input score is manually processed including score correction. It is checked whether the pin information indicates a strike, and if it is not a strike and it is not the second pitch, the display of the next pitch instruction mark for the bowler who is currently pitching is turned ON and the process is terminated. If the pin information is a second pitch or a strike, the next bowler is searched for by the procedure shown in FIG. 9 and a pitching instruction mark is displayed in the frame of the bowler number 1 corresponding to that bowler. At the same time,
Display the bowler name and end the process.

Next, the means for automatically instructing the pitching order of registered bowlers and the means for controlling the automatic mode in the American style game will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, it is checked whether the setting by the first game format changeover switch (35b) of the front control device (C) is the American format, and if it is not the American format, the bowler currently pitching is given the second pitch. , and also checks whether it is a pitch in the final frame.

Next, the display of the current pitching instruction mark is turned off, the next bowler scheduled to pitch is set in the bowler number one work, and based on that data, the display is set to display the pitching instruction mark in the frame of the corresponding bowler. Turn on the mode.

On the other hand, in the case of the American format, the state of the auto/manual changeover switch (35e) is checked, and if the manual mode is selected, the same processing as in the case of the non-American format is performed.

On the other hand, if the bowler is in American format and in auto mode, check whether the bowler is the final bowler, and if it is the final bowler, end the process, and if it is not the final bowler, It is checked whether the next bowler is in the left or right lane, and processing corresponding to each lane is performed.

In other words, whether or not the bowler currently pitching in each lane is on his second pitch, the CRT (7a) of both left and right lanes,
If there is an instruction to pitch in the opposite lane in (7b), turn off the display of the pitching instruction mark, cent the next bowler's first number work, and then turn on the display of the pitching instruction mark for that bowler. end.

If a pitching instruction mark is displayed on the CRT (7a, 7b) in a lane opposite to the lane to which the CRT originally corresponds, the direction of the mark should be in the direction of the lane in which the ball should be pitched. By displaying the bowl in reversed direction, it is possible for the bowler to easily determine in which lane he should pitch, the left or right lane.
