Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an electronic multi-score board,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic scoreboard that can be used in various sports events, and more particularly, to a multi-scoreboard that guides a score situation of various sports events,

A scoreboard, which is commonly referred to as a 'scoreboard', provides various information necessary for a sports game, such as a team, a score situation, a game time, a time period, As such, it is indispensably required in sporting events as an auxiliary means to objectively manage the progress of the game by displaying the progress of the game.

Although electronic scoreboards are installed and operated in sports fields such as soccer fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, and volleyball courts, it is limited to professional sports arenas. In the case of social sports facilities such as sports centers, As a result of various sports such as basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and badminton, there is no electronic scoreboard corresponding to various sporting events, so that an electronic scoreboard could not be installed.

For the above reasons, generally, a manual scoreboard manufactured for each sporting event is used to guide the game situation by sporting events, or a dedicated electronic scoreboard specialized for a sporting event is mainly used.

However, in the case of the manual score plate, as described in the electronic score board of the prior art application No. 10-2010-0024831, there is a problem that the manual score plate is inconvenient to use, and the manual score plate has a score It is designed to suit a specific game for the purpose of putting on the back and can not display scores of various sports games. That is, the utilization is very limited.

In addition, since the electronic scoreboard is also made for a specific game, there is a problem that it can not be applied to other games.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional manual scoreboard and the electronic scoreboard as described above, the 'Electronic scoreboard' of the prior art application No. 10-2010-0024831 has been disclosed.

As shown in the drawing of the electronic score board disclosed in the 'Electronic score board' of the prior art application No. 10-2010-0024831 of FIG. 2, the above-mentioned prior arts have a common denominator of the display items required in the games An electronic scoreboard capable of extracting and displaying an electronic score board, comprising: an upper board having a front display unit on which a front display unit capable of displaying a score of a competition is mounted; and a plate shape supporting the upper plate, And a support plate having an input part for receiving the score or the control signal and a rear display part for displaying the score.

That is, the above-mentioned conventional technique extracts only the information part common to various sports events and designs an electronic score board so as to output the extracted information, so that it can be utilized in various sports events. The front display unit and the rear display unit are constituted by the FND, which is the seventh segment, and the display driver is constituted by the FND driver.

However, the above-mentioned conventional technique has the advantage of being able to display scores that are common to various sporting events and thus being usable in various sporting events, thereby improving usability compared to an electronic scoreboard specialized for a particular event. However, There is a problem that only a part of common information can be displayed due to the limitation of extracting and outputting only a part of information.

For example, it is only possible to score and set scores, and there is a limit to guide the overall game situation of the sporting event, thus failing to provide enough information for the sporting event.

In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply to a sporting event in which the competition management method is completely different.

The present invention is directed to solve the problems of the conventional score board as described above, which can be used in various sporting events of various competition types, and is easy to carry and move. And to provide an electronic score board.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic scoreboard that outputs a screen specialized for each sporting event.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic scoreboard that provides an input means specialized for each sporting event.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide an electronic score board controlled through a smart device such as a smart phone.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic scoreboard that provides sound necessary for a sporting event.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic score board for outputting a score of a variety of sports events, including: a plurality of LEDs having a plurality of LEDs A driver module for outputting a signal for turning on / off the LED of the pixel panel and the LED panel of the LED pixel panel, a main control module for receiving contents and commands from the keypad and controlling output and driving of contents according to the inputted contents and commands, A display unit including a DC power supply module connected to the DC power supply module and a case for forming an outer appearance of the display unit and having a front surface opened and a rear surface covered with a cover, A key input unit having a plurality of input keys for inputting And a keypad for communicating with the display unit, the display unit including a memory for storing contents of each item, which is scoreboard layout data having a layout for outputting information on a game-by-competition basis, and a controller for processing data according to the input of the key input unit It is a technical feature.
