Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the card game apparatus 100 using the cover according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

1 is a view showing an embodiment of a card game apparatus 100 using a cover according to the present invention. As shown by way of example only in Figure 1, the card game apparatus 100 using the cover is to guide the game and the game progress by the role of the dealer of the digital image object through the dealer screen, at least one or more players participating in this The player screen assigned to the player allows the player to participate in a game such as poker or blackjack.

Here, the card game apparatus 100 using the cover is configured to cover the hidden card distributed by the execution of the game on the player screen with a cover so that other players can not see.

Looking at the detailed configuration of the card game apparatus 100 using such a cover, the dealer unit for guiding the game, such as poker or blackjack through the dealer screen to the game progress for one or more players participating in the game 110, the player screen for participation of the player is provided with a card for each player according to the execution of the game from the dealer unit 110 to display on the player screen, if the provided card is a hidden card is provided on the player screen A player unit 120 for supporting the player's participation in the game by outputting the image of the card to the area covered by the cover, and executing overall control for the execution of the game, from guiding the game to arranging cards distributed by player. It includes a control unit.

In addition, the dealer unit 110 preferably includes a first dealer screen for performing the role of a dealer by the digital video object, and a second dealer screen for informing the player of the game hand and game contents of the dealer. .

The player unit 120 is activated according to the seating of the players participating in the game. If there are three players participating in the game, the player unit 120 activates three player screens and then works with the dealer unit 110 to play the game for each player. Support.

2 is a view showing a dealer screen and a player screen of the card game apparatus 100 using the cover shown in FIG. As shown by way of example only in FIG. 2, the game will be described taking poker as an example.

The poker game distributes seven cards to each player, including the dealer, from the card dispenser. When describing the card distribution process, three hidden cards are first distributed to each player.

These three hidden cards are arranged in an area covered by a cover provided on each player screen. Accordingly, each player selects one of the three hidden cards and reveals them so that other players can check them. The published cards are publicly displayed on the player screen.

Thereafter, the fourth, fifth and sixth cards are publicly distributed to each player sequentially, and these cards are publicly displayed on the player screen.

The last seventh card is a hidden card, which is distributed to each player. Since it is a hidden card, it is placed in an area covered by a cover on the player screen.

In addition, each player executes a game participation such as card selection and betting through an input module provided corresponding to the player screen.

FIG. 3 is a view illustrating that some patterns of a card are displayed as the cover is flipped among the player screens shown in FIG. 2. As shown only by way of example in FIG. 3, the hidden card is raised in the area covered with the cover.

Thus, the player flips a cover over it to see the hidden card delivered to him.

Such a cover may be made of a hard cover made of a common poker material, and it is preferable that the cover be implemented in a fixed type to hide a hidden card being displayed.

When the cover is made of a hard cover, the controller may display the front surface of the card in an exposed state, which may be referred to as the case of easily implementing the present invention.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a rear surface of the cover illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown by way of example only in FIG. 4, a sensor is provided in parallel that can detect the degree of lean on the back of the cover.

In this case, the control unit controls to display the exposed portion of the preset card correspondingly according to the detection level of the flipped degree provided from the sensor.
Here, the sensor that can detect the degree of flipping on the back of the cover is a kind of touch sensor that can detect whether the back of the cover and its corresponding surface (that is, the player screen) is obvious, The touch sensor is preferably a bar type touch sensor with reference to FIG. 4.
In the following, FIG. 5 will be described in detail by using the point touch sensor, which is another type of touch sensor, as an example to determine the level of the cover flipped.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of a rear surface of the cover illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown by way of example only in FIG. 5, the cover may also be implemented as a touch sensor.

FIG. 5A illustrates a case where four touch sensors are formed on the rear surface of the cover, and FIG. 5B illustrates a case where twelve touch sensors are formed on the rear surface of the cover.

The difference depending on the number of touch sensors lies in the precision of displaying the exposed portion of the hidden card as the cover is flipped off the player screen (ie, the area of the hidden card).

In order to increase the accuracy, the number of touch sensors should be increased, and in order to set the precision somewhat lower, the number of touch sensors should be installed as small as four.

For example, the touch sensor may be implemented as an electrostatic multi-touch sensor, and in this case, a weak current is provided to react according to whether the player touches the player screen.

The plurality of touch sensors located on the rear surface of the cover are separated from the player screen according to the degree of flipping of the cover. Accordingly, the controller determines the falling touch sensor and displays the exposed portion of the card corresponding to the corresponding portion.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of moving a cover on a player screen illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown by way of example only in FIG. 6, as the touch sensor always touches one of the touch sensors (for example, a touch sensor located at the corner of the top of the card), the area of the hidden card is also accompanied by the movement of the sensor. It is also possible to move the position.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the video table game apparatus 100 according to the present invention. As shown by way of example only in Fig. 7, the video table game method with the cover guides a game such as poker, blackjack, etc. through the dealer screen of the video table game apparatus 100 (S1).

Thereafter, when at least one or more players participate in the game through the video table game method, the game is executed (S3 and S5).

If the game to be played is poker, the cards are started to be distributed to each player according to the poker game rules (S7).

If the card distributed in S7 is a card that can be checked by other players, it is displayed to be revealed on each player screen (S11).

On the other hand, when providing a hidden card to each player that is not revealed to other players during the game process, the card is placed in an area covered with a cover provided on each player screen (S13).

During such a game, if one player moves the cover to be comfortable with him, the same position is also moved with the hidden card display area disposed under the cover (S15 and S17).

When the player flips the cover to check the hidden card, each player can check the corresponding exposed portion of the card displayed in response (S19 to S23).

Players who check hidden cards or players who do not check hidden cards make settings such as betting to proceed to the next game procedure (S25), and reflect the settings of each player in the game to continue the game The game for the player ends (S27).

Although the above has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be variously modified and changed within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below. I can understand that you can.

In addition, the present invention from the point of view of a player who enjoys a game such as poker or blackjack in a video table game method, it is possible to get a feeling of participating in a game by using a game card that is actually used instead of enjoying the game by simply pressing a button on a video screen. In order to be able to do so, it is an invention with industrial applicability because the possibility of commercialization or business is not only sufficient but also practically obvious.
