First, a dart game device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 is a view showing a state of the dart game device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a view showing the components of the dart game device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a dart game device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention displays a dart board 110 including a hit area in which a dart pin is hit on one side, and at least one of an image and a sound. It may include a manipulation unit 150 for manipulating the unit 130 and the dart game device 100. Alternatively, the dart game device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention uses the dart board 110, the display unit 130, and the operation unit 150 as an interface device with a player, and provides a game. And a device that processes information.

However, it should be noted that this is according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the implementation of the dart game device 100 according to the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the dart game device 100 according to the present invention may include a component connected to the dart board 110. Prior to describing this, as shown in FIG. 2, the dart board 110 includes a plurality of hit areas in which the dart pins are hit, and each hit area is assigned a score corresponding to twice the displayed number. A double multiple area 111 and a triple multiple area 113 to which a score corresponding to a three multiple of the displayed number is allocated may be formed.

In addition, the dart game device 100 according to the present invention includes a problem generating unit 210, a problem expressing unit 220, a hit area detecting unit 230, a noon calculating unit 240, a noon expressing unit 250, arithmetic difficulty An adjustment unit 260, a dart difficulty adjustment unit 270, and a region-score allocation unit 280 may be included.

First, the problem generator 210 may generate an arithmetic problem to be provided to a player of the dart game device 100.

Here, the problem generator 210 may generate an arithmetic problem according to a player's selection. For example, when a player selects to generate an arithmetic problem using only addition and subtraction among the four arithmetic operations, the problem generator 210 may generate the arithmetic problem according to the player's selection.

In addition, the problem generating unit 210 may generate a problem other than an arithmetic problem and provide it to the game player only for a problem in which the correct answer appears in numbers according to the player's selection. For example, the problem generating unit 210 may generate a problem that can induce the correct answer “12” such as “What month is the month including Christmas?” according to the player's selection, and provide it to the game player. .

In addition, the arithmetic problem generated by the problem generation unit 210 may be stored in a database for each level of difficulty, and in this case, the problem generation unit 210 is based on the arithmetic difficulty value provided from the arithmetic difficulty adjustment unit 260 to be described later. An arithmetic problem can be generated by randomly extracting an arithmetic problem corresponding to a specific difficulty among a plurality of arithmetic problems stored in the database. This will be described in more detail in the description of the arithmetic difficulty adjustment unit 260 to be described later.

The problem expressing unit 220 may express the arithmetic problem in at least one of video and audio. Here, the problem expression unit 220 may express the arithmetic problem in at least one of video and audio through the expression unit 130 of FIG. 1.

The hit area detection unit 230 may detect a hit area in which a dart is hit among a plurality of areas.

More specifically, the hit area detection unit 230 may detect a hit area in which a dart is hit among a plurality of areas included in the dart board 110 of FIG. 1.

Here, the hit area detection unit 230 may detect a plurality of hit areas in which a plurality of darts are hit among the plurality of areas.

Meanwhile, when the dart is hit in the hit area, the hit area detection unit 230 may detect a change in current flowing in the hit area to detect a hit area in which the dart is hit among the plurality of areas. However, the method of detecting the heat region by the heat region detection unit 230 is not limited to detecting a change in current flowing in the heat region. For example, when a dart is hit in the hit area, the hit area detection unit 230 may detect a change in pressure in the hit area due to the hit dart and detect a hit area in which the dart is hit among a plurality of areas.

The noon calculation unit 240 may determine whether it is noon by comparing a score or number allocated to the hit area with a correct answer to the arithmetic problem.

For example, the arithmetic problem generated by the problem generating unit 210 is “2+1=?”, and the score or number assigned to the hit area of the dart detected by the hit area detection unit 230 corresponds to the number “4”. In this case, the noon calculation unit 240 may determine this as an incorrect answer based on the difference between the score “4” allocated to the hit area and “3”, which is the correct answer to the above-described arithmetic problem, and the hit area detection unit 230 ), if the score assigned to the hit area of the dart is “3”, the noon calculation unit 240 determines the score “3” assigned to the hit area and “3”, which is the correct answer to the above arithmetic problem. Based on no difference, this can be determined as the correct answer.

In addition, the noon calculation unit 240 may determine whether or not it is noon by comparing a total score allocated to a plurality of hit areas in which different darts are hit, respectively, and a correct answer to the arithmetic problem according to the player's mode selection.

For example, if the mode selected as a player is a mode in which a total of two dart pins can be thrown, the arithmetic problem generated by the problem generating unit 210 is "2+1=?", and the hit area detecting unit 230 When the points allocated to the hit areas of the detected two darts correspond to “1” and “3”, respectively, the noon calculation unit 240 is the sum of the hit areas “1” and “3” and the above-described arithmetic problem Based on the difference between “3”, which is the correct answer, it can be determined as an incorrect answer, and the points allocated to the hit areas of the two darts detected from the hit area detection unit 230 correspond to “1” and “2”. In this case, the noon calculation unit 240 may determine this as the correct answer based on no difference between the sum of the hit areas “1” and “2” and the correct answer “3” of the arithmetic problem described above.

The noon display unit 250 may display information related to whether or not it is noon and the correct answer to the arithmetic problem in at least one of video and audio.

For example, when the comparison result of the score allocated to the hit area and the correct answer of an arithmetic problem from the above-described correct error calculation unit 240 is determined as the correct answer, the correct answer determination result is converted into video and audio. It can be expressed in at least one of the methods. Here, the noon display unit 250 may also display information related to whether or not it is noon and the correct answer to the arithmetic problem in at least one of video and audio through the display unit 130 of FIG. 1.

Meanwhile, the noon display unit 250 expresses information related to whether it is noon and the correct answer to the arithmetic problem, but iteratively determines whether it is noon, information related to the correct answer to the arithmetic problem, and whether it is noon through at least one of video and audio. It can be expressed as, and thereby, it is possible to create an educational effect of the dart game device 100.

The arithmetic difficulty adjustment unit 260 may generate an arithmetic difficulty value based on a result of accumulating the selection of the player or whether the player is noon or not, and may provide the generated arithmetic difficulty value to the problem generator 210.

Here, the arithmetic difficulty value may be divided in stages, and the arithmetic difficulty level adjusting unit 260 may generate an arithmetic difficulty value in which a step is adjusted based on a correct answer ratio and an incorrect answer ratio of whether or not it is noon. For example, the arithmetic difficulty adjustment unit 260 generates an arithmetic difficulty value based on a previous difficulty level and a lower level of difficulty when the ratio corresponding to the incorrect answer among the cumulative noon or not determined by the noon calculation unit 240 is higher than a predetermined ratio. It may be provided to the generation unit 210, and in this case, the problem generation unit 210 may generate the arithmetic problem based on the provided arithmetic difficulty value. Here, as described above, the problem generator 210 may generate an arithmetic problem by randomly extracting an arithmetic problem corresponding to a specific difficulty level among a plurality of arithmetic problems stored in the database based on the provided arithmetic difficulty value.

The dart difficulty adjustment unit 270 may generate a dart difficulty value based on a result of accumulating the selection of the player or whether the player is at noon. For example, the dart difficulty adjusting unit 270 may generate a dart difficulty value with a step adjusted based on a correct answer ratio and an incorrect answer ratio of the player's selection or accumulated noon or not. As an example, the dart difficulty adjusting unit 270 may generate a dart difficulty value based on a previous difficulty level or a low difficulty level when the ratio corresponding to the incorrect answer among the accumulated noon or not determined by the noon calculation unit 240 is a predetermined ratio or higher. .

Here, the dart difficulty value may mean a difficulty value for the dart board 110 of FIG. 1.

The region-score allocator 280 may allocate the same score to some regions adjacent to each other among the plurality of regions based on the previously generated dart difficulty value.

Here, when the dart difficulty value is a preset value, the region-score allocation unit 280 may allocate the same scores to regions sequentially arranged in a radial direction among the plurality of regions.

In addition, when the dart difficulty value is not a preset value, the region-score allocator 280 may additionally allocate the same score to regions sequentially arranged in the radial direction to regions adjacent in the circumferential direction.

In addition, when the dart difficulty value is not a preset value, the area-score allocation unit 280 may allocate the same score to only some of the areas sequentially arranged in the radial direction.

This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 below.

3 is a diagram showing a hit area according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 3, when the dart difficulty value generated by the dart difficulty adjustment unit 270 is lowered (first value), the area-score allocation unit 280 sequentially performs a radial direction among a plurality of areas. By allocating the same points to the arranged areas, the hit area of the dart board 110 and the corresponding score may be varied. In the first example, when the dart difficulty value generated by the dart difficulty adjusting unit 270 decreases, the area-score allocation unit 280 is based on the score allocated to the hit area, and the dart board 110 shown in FIG. 2 It is possible to allocate the same score (for example, a score of one multiple of the number displayed on the dart board 110) to the double area 111 and the triple area 113 of, and thereby, the dart board 110 ) Can be varied as shown in Fig. 3(a).

As a second example, referring to (b) of FIG. 3, the dart game apparatus 100 according to the present invention has a dart difficulty value lowered from the dart difficulty adjustment unit 270 (second value), area-score The allocation unit 280 further expands the area of the score in the dart board 110 in the circumferential direction, so that the player can use the dart game more easily.

As a third example, referring to (c) and (d) of FIG. 3, when the dart difficulty value generated by the dart difficulty adjustment unit 270 increases (third value), the area-score allocation unit 280 is a radius The same scores may be assigned to only some of the areas 310 or 330 of the areas sequentially arranged in the direction. For example, referring to (c) of FIG. 3, each score can be assigned only to an area 310 within a specific radius (for example, an area less than the radius of the triple area 113), and furthermore, a higher degree of difficulty. In FIG. 3D, each score may be assigned only to an area 330 (eg, a multiple area 113) of a specific radius range.

That is, in the dart game apparatus 100 according to the present invention, when the dart difficulty value decreases, the area-score allocation unit 280 expands the area of the score in the dart board 110, and conversely, the area-score allocation unit increases. By reducing the area of the score in the dart board 110, 280 allows the gamer to use the dart game according to his or her ability, and thereby, the dart game for beginners or skilled players to play dart games. You can make sure you don't lose interest.
