12A to 12E, a dart game apparatus and a plurality of facilities are linked with each other according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, a dart game device and a plurality of facilities may exist in a dart game room, a bar, a beer house, a restaurant, etc. in which a dart game system is installed.

For example, when the user of the dart game device records a good score such as three consecutive Redeyes, the external dart game devices may be turned on, as shown in FIG. 12A.

Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 12B, the bottom side lighting portion can be turned on, and the lighting portions installed in the columnar form in the darts or the like, as shown in Figs. 12C and 12D, can be turned on.

Then, as shown in Fig. 12E, the lighting part hanging on the ceiling may be turned on.

In addition, in the case where a lighting unit is also provided on a table, a chair, etc., it is clear that these lighting units can also execute the pattern of the lighting unit according to a predetermined pattern, a pattern read from the memory unit, or a pattern received through the communication unit.

It is also apparent that in the case where a sound portion is provided in the dart game device and a plurality of facilities, the pattern of the sound portion can be executed according to a pattern determined through the sound portion, a pattern read from the memory portion, a pattern received through the communication portion,

As such, the dart game system may include all the facilities such as a dart game site, and such facilities may include lighting units and acoustic units so that these lighting units and acoustic units can execute the patterns of lighting and sound as the event occurs , Allowing dart game users to play darts in a more exciting and fantastic atmosphere.

The facility may receive the pattern of the illumination unit of the facility stored in the memory unit 30 from the control unit 10 and execute the pattern through the illumination unit 45. [

The memory unit 30 stores the pattern of the flashing pattern and the color change of the illumination units 22 and 45 according to the occurrence of the event. The memory unit 30 is a memory or a hard disk of a computer, and stores a dart game program, a pattern of lighting units, a sound, a screen, and the like. Although the memory unit 30 is shown as being installed outside the dart game apparatus in FIG. 1, the memory unit 30 may be installed inside and one memory unit is shown. However, The inside of the dart game device, the inside of the facility, the outside of the dart game device, and the outside of the facility.

Further, the patterns of the illumination units and the acoustic units may be a pattern received from a communication unit having a communication interface that may be included in some or all of the dart game apparatuses, facilities, etc. as well as those stored in the memory unit.

Here, the pattern of the illumination units means a pattern of a blinking pattern of illumination, a pattern of color change, or a combination of such patterns.

Further, the acoustic effect pattern of the acoustic portion means a pattern of all combinations of sounds issued in the acoustic portion.

In addition, the event may include identification of the user, dart hit of the dart, user change, game end, and the like. In the case of the dart hit of the dart, various patterns of blinking and color change can be determined depending on which part of the dart hit the dart. An example of such an event is merely an example, and it is understood that it includes all the events that may occur while performing a dart game.

The control unit 10 controls the dart game apparatus, the illumination units and the sound units of the facility to execute a pattern according to the generation of the event, and also controls the dart game apparatus and the illumination units and the sound units of the facility to be linked .

Although the control unit 10 is shown as being installed outside the dart game apparatus in FIG. 1, the control unit 10 may be installed inside the dart game apparatus or inside the facility. In addition, only one control section is shown, but is not limited thereto.

By the control of the control unit 10, a pattern previously stored in the memory unit or a pattern received by the communication unit can be executed in the illumination unit and the acoustic unit of the dart game apparatus, the illumination unit of the dart game apparatus, and a part or all of the acoustic unit.

The illumination part and the acoustic part of the dart game device and a part of the illumination part and the acoustic part of the facility can be executed in a predetermined manner rather than the pattern executed under the control of the control part 10. [

The order in which events are generated in a dart game system including a plurality of facilities is as shown in FIG.

When an event is generated (step S110), the detection unit 24 or the control unit 10 recognizes the event. The control unit 10 reads the pattern stored in advance in the memory unit 30 based on the recognized event content in step S120 and transmits the read pattern to the illumination unit 22 and the sound unit 28 and the illumination section 45 and the acoustic section 47 of the facility, and the pattern is executed (step S130).

The control unit 10 may read or execute the pattern received by the communication unit based on the recognized event content.

On the other hand, the lighting unit and the sound unit of the facility can control the control unit to execute the pattern only when the event is a dart target hit of the dart, and it may be stored so as to be executed in the pre-stored program.

For example, in a dart game system according to the present invention, when a plurality of dart game devices are simultaneously played in a plurality of dart game devices, if a plurality of dart game devices simultaneously hit the dart target of the dart, So that only the illumination pattern and the sound effect pattern corresponding to the predetermined priority are executed through the lighting unit and the sound unit of the facility.

For example, if a game is played in three dart game devices A, B, and C, it is possible to play three dart game devices simultaneously or within a certain time interval (within a time period from the start of one pattern to completion, If the dart is struck, each of the three dart game units senses the area where the dart is hit, and the control unit calculates the corresponding score of the struck area, The scores are compared. And controls the illumination unit and the acoustics unit of the facility so that a pattern corresponding to a predetermined priority (for example, a high score, a low score, a winning shot, etc.) is executed through comparison of such scores. This control may be performed by the control unit, or a program corresponding to the event may be stored in advance in the memory unit.

Such a flow chart is shown in FIG.

When a plurality of dart game devices are hit by a dart target at the same time or within a predetermined time interval (step S210), the score of each hit is detected by detecting the hit of each dart game device (step S220) , And then the calculated score is compared to allow only the illumination pattern corresponding to the predetermined priority to be executed (step S230).

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the dart game device may include a floor.

The bottom may be comprised of a semipermeable member and may include a throw line of illumination. The semi-transparent member may be transparent enough for the user to recognize when the illumination of the illumination unit is turned on. However, if the illumination unit is turned off, the semi-transparent member may be opaque so that the illumination unit can not grasp the embedded position. The lighting section of the throw line is not turned on when the dart game device is not started, so the user can not recognize the throw line. However, when the user starts the dart game device, it can be turned on at the start of the initial game to display at least the position of the throw line. The dart game device may be a form that can be started by inserting a coin. In this case, the lighting part of the throw line is lighted so that the throw line can be displayed only when the user inserts the coin and starts the game.

After the dart game apparatus is started and the illumination unit of the throw line is turned on, it can take on one axis of the pattern when the pattern of the illumination units is executed as a part of the dart game system.

The reason why the lighting unit of the throw line is turned on only when the user starts the dart game apparatus is that the user sets the dart game apparatus This is to prevent the practice darts from starting from the throw line without starting, especially when the dart game device is in a form that can be started by inserting a coin. Since the exact distance of the throw line can not be known when the user has not started the dart game device, it is possible to prevent the user from occupying the dart game device in order to perform the practice dart. Particularly, in the case where the dart game device can start by putting a coin, the user can prevent the practice dart from being costly.

The description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
