Description

Ball Game System {SYSTEM OF BALL GAME}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a ball game system, and more particularly, to a game system in which a ball having a predetermined shape is pitched to align a target pin.

In recent years, online and smart phone addiction has caused disruption of the play culture that can be enjoyed with family, friends, colleagues, and lovers, and communication and communication are being discontinued. As a result, the resurgence of space-sensitive games such as bowling, billiard, table tennis, golf screens, and air hockey is on the rise. Here, a space-sensible game refers to a game that takes place in a certain space in an offline rather than online manner.

However, in the case of conventional space-sensible games such as bowling, billiard, table tennis, golf screen, etc., contents are old-fashioned and there is a limitation in attracting the public, the space occupied by the space is limited and the users are limited A game that is more popular and easy for everyone, young and old to enjoy.

Accordingly, new space-sensible games have recently emerged, and a representative example is a shuffle board. The shuffle board is a long, narrow court game, with triangular scoring areas on each end and a red and black disc on the court. This game is aimed at putting the disc in the scoring area and allowing the opposing disc to go out of the arena.

Despite the emergence of new space-sensing games, the number of games is insignificant, which is not enough to activate the space-sensitive game market. Therefore, we propose a new space - sensitive game.

Hereinafter, a game set according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a ball game system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The ball game system according to the present embodiment includes a game board 10 divided into a plurality of sections, a ball 20 whose moving locus is changed by the rotational force of the internal rotating body, a target pin 20 spaced apart from the ball, (30), a pin alignment tool (40) for assisting alignment of the target pin in the arrangement of the target pin, a number of the target pins which are out of the first region due to movement along the movement locus of the ball, A target pin information input unit 50 for receiving the number of the target pins in the area, and a multi-function table 60 for supporting the game board.

The ball game is a game in which the ball 20 is pushed onto the game board 10 by using a snap of the wrist to align the target pin 30 and a score is generated corresponding to the displacement of the target pin 30 It can mean. Here, the ball 20 is a kind of ball that is pitched, and the details will be described later.

The game board 10 may be a flat board or a curved board, in which the game proceeds. The game board 10 is divided into a plurality of sections by an explicit or implicit method. As an example of the explicit method, the game board 10 can be divided into lines. Even if no explicit line is drawn, only the initial position of the ball 20 and the initial position of the target pin 30 are displayed at both ends of the game board 10, And may be referred to as the third section in between, which is an example of an implicit method.

1, the plurality of sections of the game board 10 includes a ball zone 11 in which the ball is located, a root 12 in which the ball moves, a pin zone 13 ). In particular, the pin region 13 is an example of a position where the target pin is disposed.

The ball 20 is capable of changing its trajectory in accordance with the pitch pattern of the user and is capable of changing the trajectory of the ball on the basis of the friction surface on the movement locus, for example, the ball, 20 may have a first protruding structure. The bottom surface of the ball 20 can be spaced from the friction surface by the first projecting structure and the flow of fluid passing through the bottom surface of the ball 20 can be improved by reducing the frictional force of the ball 20, The movement trajectory and the movement distance of the ball 20 can be increased. The first protruding structure may exist singly or in plurality.

The first protruding structure disposed on the bottom surface of the ball 20 may have a plurality of protrusions and may have a predetermined height, thickness, and shape to lift the bottom surface of the ball 20 from the friction surface. For example, the first protruding structure may be circular so as to maximize the effect of the rotation of the ball 20.

Further, the first projecting structure may be a small rotatable wheel. The rotatable wheel may have a fixed rotation axis, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The rotatable wheel may have a structure in which the rotation axis is variable, and may be slidable on the friction surface, And can be rotated in a direction independent of the movement locus. That is, when the frictional force of the ground contacting the ball 20 is less than a predetermined value, the rotatable wheel may rotate in the same or different direction as the movement locus.

In some other embodiments, the ball 20 includes a rotating body therein, and the movement trajectory of the ball may be changed by the rotational movement of the rotating body. An example of the rotating body is a gyroscope. The player of the game uses the snap of the wrist to rotate the rotating body inside the ball and the movement locus of the ball can be determined by the rotation speed, the snap of the wrist, the direction of pushing the ball, .

The ball 20 can start the internal rotating body without using an external tool or physical force at the beginning. It is possible to constitute a device for moving freely around the shaft and a structure in which the center of gravity of the inner object can be moved so as to start the inner rotating body without using any external tool or physical force at the beginning. By rotating the inner rotating body, the center of gravity of the inner body is positioned at the center of gravity axis of the body of the ball 20, thereby rotating the body.

For example, the ball 20 may have a rotating shaft disposed therein, and a rotating body may freely rotate about an inner shaft, and the inner rotating body may be displaced along the longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft, The center of gravity of the rotating body and / or the ball 20 may vary. In this case, the center of gravity of the inner rotating body can be positioned and rotated in the same line as the center axis of gravity of the ball 20 by the center-of-gravity variable rotational movement, and the rotating force of the rotating body can be rotated Or the direction of travel.

The balls 20 can be made of durable materials to improve their durability. Coating technology can also be used to reduce the friction coefficient. This is not limited to the ball 20 but may be applied to other components of the game such as the game board 10, the target pin 30, and the like.

A material or a shape for generating a natural or soft sound when the ball 20 and the target pin 30 collide with each other in the material or shape of the ball 20 and the target pin 30 may be combined. Specifically, a collision sound according to the type, shape, or impact strength of a material can be classified according to each frequency, and a numerical value of an ideal sound can be analyzed to find a material or a shape that generates a natural or soft sound. The impact in the acoustic analysis is not limited to the collision between the ball 20 and the target pin 30 but may be a collision between the balls 20 and the target pins 30, But also includes collisions between other components of the present invention such as a collision between the game board 10 or a collision between the target pin 30 and the game board 10. [

The target pin 30 is an object to be pitched by the ball 20, and the target pin 30 may be a plurality of pins.

According to one embodiment, the plurality of target pins 30 may vary in color, structure or center of gravity. For example, some of the target pins can be rectangular in shape and the rest in a conical shape. As another example, some of the target pins may have a structure in which the inside is empty, and the others may be a structure in which the inside is full. The above structure can be collectively referred to as an internal structure and an external structure. As another example, the target pin that is difficult to match with the arrangement of the target pin 30 may be painted in red, and the target pin that is easy to match may be painted in blue.

The target pin 30 may be formed with a second protruding structure on the friction surface, for example, the bottom surface of the target pin 30 that contacts the ground, bottom surface, table top surface, or the like on which the target pin 30 can be placed. And may be the same as or different from the first projecting structure formed on the ball 20. The bottom surface of the target pin 30 can be spaced apart from the friction surface by the second projecting structure and the flow of the fluid passing through the bottom surface of the target pin 30 is reduced as the frictional force of the target pin 30 is reduced, The movement locus of the target pin 30 and the moving distance can be increased compared to the amount of impact transmitted by the target 20. The second protruding structure may exist singly or plural.

The second protruding structure disposed on the bottom surface of the target pin 30 may have a plurality of protruding structures and may have a predetermined height, thickness, and shape to lift the bottom surface of the target pin 30 from the friction surface. For example, the second protruding structure may be circular so as to maximize the influence of the rotation of the target pin 30.

Further, the second projecting structure may be a small rotatable wheel. The rotatable wheel may have a fixed rotation axis, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The rotatable wheel may have a structure in which the rotation axis is variable, and may be slidable on the friction surface and in a direction independent of the movement locus of the target pin 30 As shown in FIG. That is, when the frictional force of the ground contacting the target pin 30 is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the rotatable wheel may rotate in the same or different direction as the movement locus of the target pin 30.

The target pins 30 may be arranged according to various arrangement patterns. As an example, may be arranged fan-like as the target pin 30 disposed in the pin zone 13 of FIG. In addition, the arrangement pattern may be triangular, circular, quadrangular, rhombic, V-shaped, straight, arbitrary. At this time, according to the arrangement of the target pin (30), a higher score can be given in the case of a target pin which is difficult to match with the ball (20). For example, in the arrangement of the fan shape, the center target pin is difficult to hit by punching the ball 20, so that a higher score is obtained when pushing the center target pin out of the game board 10 can do. That is, the score information may be different depending on the arrangement position of the target pin 30. [

Referring to FIG. 2, the target pin 30 may be disposed in two or more zones. In this case, the ball 20 may be pitched at a central portion of the two or more zones, or may be pitched from one zone in which the target pin 30 is disposed to another zone, .

The target pin information input unit 50 can receive the number of the target pins out of the first region or the number of the target pins in the first region by moving according to the movement trajectory of the ball.

The first region includes the initial position of the target pin 30 and acquires the score when the target pin 30 moves out of the first region due to the impact of the ball 20. According to one embodiment, the first region may be the pin zone 13 of FIG. In this case, the score can be obtained not only when the target pin 30 is out of the game board 10 but also when the target pin 30 is passed to the root 12. The first region may be an open region as well as a closed region as described above. For example, in the above embodiment, when the target pin 30 passes the pin zone 13 and falls outside the game board 10, the score is acquired. However, when the target pin 30 passes the route 12, It is possible. The first region may be set for each of the plurality of target pins. For example, when the target pin 30 moves only at the initial position and the score is recognized, the first region becomes an initial position of each target pin.

The target pin information input unit 50 may be a simple notepad or a device such as a tablet PC or a smart phone. When the target pin information input unit 50 receives the number of the target pins out of the first area or the number of the target pins in the first area, the target pin information input unit 50 may be directly input by a person, It is possible. According to one embodiment, the sensor may be a weight sensor, and a weight sensor may be provided below the first region to obtain information about the number of target pins remaining in the first region as a weight jam . In addition, the sensor may be a camera sensor, a position sensor, or the like.

The information received by the target pin information input unit 50 includes information about the number of the target pins out of the first area or the number of the target pins in the first area, May also be included. For example, when the target pin 30 is classified into a three-point target pin, a two-point target pin, and a one-point target pin, information about how many target pins out of the first region are target pins Can also be input.

According to one embodiment, the present invention may further comprise a score processing unit for calculating a score according to the information received from the target pin information input unit. The method of calculating the score may be various. There is a method of calculating a score in proportion to the number of target pins out of the first area in the simplest method. Alternatively, two sets of pitches per set may be granted, two points per target pin for the first pitch, and one point for one target pin for the second pitch. As another method, three points are given for the target pin which is difficult to export out of the first region in the arrangement of the target pin 30, two points are given in the case of the intermediate target pin which is difficult, There is also a way to give points.

According to one embodiment, the present invention may further comprise a pin setting device for setting the target pin 30 manually or automatically. In the case of bowling, the pin setting device sets the target pin 30 according to the predetermined arrangement, as the machine automatically sets the bowling pin. At this time, the pin setting device may operate automatically or manually.

According to one embodiment, the present invention may further comprise a pin alignment tool 40 that assists alignment of the target pin to match the placement of the target pin 30.

According to one embodiment, the present invention may further include a table 60 for supporting the game board 10. [

The assistant pedestal may be provided with items such as a scoreboard, a food, a mobile phone, a wallet, and the like. In addition, it secures movement radius and makes space use desirable. The position of the auxiliary pedestal 70 is not necessarily located at the center of the table 60, but may be located freely.

In some other embodiments, the table 60 may comprise an outer table and lanes disposed inside the outer table. The material of the outer table and / or lane is not limited and can include, for example, one or more of stone, wood, synthetic resin, artificial marble, iron, iron, plastic.

Further, a space 14 may be formed between the outer table and the lane between which the ball 20 and / or the target pin 30 falls and is collected or recovered. For example, when the ball 20 is hit by the target pin 30 and the target pin 30 goes out of the lane, the target pin 30 is placed in the trapping region formed between the outer table and the lane, Can be prevented from being damaged by dropping on the floor, and the risk of loss can be minimized.

According to one embodiment, the present invention may further comprise a storage box capable of storing the game board, the ball, or the target pin. Further, the storage box may be a table for supporting the game board when it is deformed by a predetermined method.

According to an embodiment, the game device may further include a device for outputting an image or sound accompanying the ball game. The sound may be an acoustic sound generated during the ball game, such as a collision sound between the ball and the target pin, or an acoustic sound not related to the ball game, such as background music. The image may be an image related to the progress of the ball game or an image related to the game progress such as an advertisement image. The device may be collectively referred to as a device for outputting video or sound such as a mobile phone, a computer, a PDP, or the like.

The game system generates score information corresponding to a displacement of the target pin that deviates from the initial position when the ball 20 moves along the movement trajectory and strikes the target pin. In other words, the score information may be generated corresponding to the displacement of the target pin. In this case, the score information may be generated when the target pin 30 is out of a specific region. Alternatively, The score information may be generated.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, in generating the score information, the score is obtained in proportion to the number of target pins deviated out of the first region due to the impact of the ball. The batting is applied twice or three times per set, and the game can be performed with a plurality of sets, and the win or loss can be determined by summing the scores for each set. A first area referred to in claim 10 may also refer to the first area referred to in claim 2.

According to an embodiment, when two pitches are made per one set, the first target pin is separated from the first region by the first impact and the second target pin is not separated from the first region, And the second target pin may be struck with the ball to perform a spare process.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a win or loss may be determined by one set, and a winner of many sets may be finally victorious. For example, you can decide to win one or more sets, and proceed to the second edition of the third edition.

According to another embodiment, a specific target pin may be determined to win or lose in such a manner that the remaining pin is left out in the first region and the remaining pin is ejected out of the first region.

According to another embodiment, the players can alternately pitch three times with each set, and the pitcher can cause the ball to pass the target pin out of the first zone without leaving the root 12 have. However, if the ball deviates from the root 12, it is lost.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the opponent pits a plurality of target pins into the first region to freely set the target pin, and the other opponent punches the ball so that the set target pin is moved out of the first region The game can be played in such a way that you get points when you leave. At this time, if the target pin is deviated from the first region in the course of pitching and setting, the off-target pin can be recognized as the score of the opponent.
