1 is a control block diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of a billiard game system through image control according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a billiard game system through image control according to the present invention and a diagram showing a state of use thereof. to be.

As shown in FIG. 1, the key input unit 20 of the present invention sets / enter the game basic information such as the number of participants, the game method, the basic score of each player, and the surface state of the billiard table 71, and the image input unit ( 10) recognizes the position information of the billiard ball 70 that is moved on the billiard table 71. The image input unit 10 is a high resolution vision camera 60 is used, it is preferable to be fixed to the upper side of the billiard table 71 as shown in Figure 2 so that the entire billiard table 71 can be photographed.

In addition, the data storage unit 40 stores the game progress information, such as the other method, the course, strength, score and time according to the position of the billiard ball 70, the main control unit 30 in the key input unit 20 It receives the set game basic information and the position information recognized by the image input unit 10 to estimate the next game information to be progressed, and accordingly reads and outputs the game progress information stored in the data storage unit 40. The display unit 50 outputs the game progress information output from the main control unit 30 to the screen.

Here, the key input unit 20 is composed of a keyboard 61 of a conventional personal computer as shown in Figure 2, the display unit 50 is composed of a monitor 63, the main control unit 30 Is configured as a microprocessor, and the data storage unit 40 is configured as a memory chip.

In addition, the main control unit 30 receives the position information of the billiard ball 70 recognized by the image input unit 10 determines the movement and collision state, based on the batting state, score and game of each player Calculate and print out the progress time.

Accordingly, the main control unit 30 recognizes / controls the entire game contents, and displays all information necessary for the player in the display monitor 63, for example, other methods, course, strength, score, and time necessary for the progress of the billiard game. By minimizing unnecessary actions of the player, the game can be operated more fun and the skill can be easily acquired.

In addition, by directly setting the billiards level and situation of the billiards player can differentiate and provide the best information, and by displaying the standard game terms in Korean through the display unit 50, correct the foreign language used indiscriminately correct This can contribute to the popularization of domestic billiard terminology.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a billiard game system through image control according to the present invention. Referring to this, the operation of the present invention will be described in more detail as follows.

First, the player performs the initial game data input step of setting / entering the game basic information such as the number of game participants, the game method, the basic score of each player, and the surface state of the billiard table 71 through the key input unit 20 (S100). ).

Subsequently, a first image input step S110 for recognizing the position information of the billiard ball that is moved on the billiard table 70 through the image input unit 10 is performed, and the initial game data input step and the first image input step are performed. Inputting the basic game information and location information to the main control unit 30 to estimate the next game information to be progressed, and accordingly, the other method and path calculation step of reading the corresponding game progress information stored in the data storage unit 40 (S120). And, the first display step (S130) for displaying the game progress information calculated in the other method and the path calculation step on the monitor 63 is sequentially performed.

Here, on the screen of the monitor 63, the path and angle, the batting point and the hitting method of the billiard stick, etc. are displayed in graphic and Korean so that the player can use the best method by recognizing the current billiard ball state. Therefore, the competitor proceeds to the competition with reference to the information displayed on the monitor 63.

Subsequently, after performing the first display step, determining a game progress state of the player (S140) and recognizing the position information of the billiard ball 70 moved on the billiard table 71 through the image input unit 10. A second image input step is performed (S150).

In addition, the score calculation step of calculating the score of each player based on the batting state judging step 160 to determine the movement and collision state of the billiard ball 71 by the second image input step, and the batting state judging step (S170) and the game progress time calculation step (S180) of sequentially calculating the game progress time, and then performing a display step of displaying information such as the batting state, score, and game progress time obtained in the step. (S190).

Therefore, the player can accurately determine the state of the batting in progress (restrictions, errors, cushions, etc.), and automatically calculates and shows the current game scores for each person, and automatically informs the game method switching and the game progress time, so that unnecessary action is required. Minimize the chances of running the game, make the game more fun, and learn skills easily.

Subsequently, if it is determined that the game is ended and the game is not finished, the game ending determination step (S200) is repeatedly performed from the first image input step, and the control method is repeatedly performed until the game is finished. .

As described above, according to the billiard game system and the control method through the image control according to the present invention, the system recognizes / controls the entire game content, and all the information necessary for the player in the display monitor, for example, billiard game progression By showing information such as required stroke, course, strength, score and time, it minimizes the unnecessary action of the player, furthermore, makes the game more fun, learns the skills easily, and also sets the billiard level and situation of the player. By differentiating and providing the best information, and displaying the standard game terminology in Korean through the display unit, it is possible to correct the foreign language type used indiscriminately and contribute to the popularization of domestic billiard terminology. Is exerted.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described specific preferred embodiments, and various modifications can be made by any person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims. Of course, such changes are intended to fall within the scope of the claims set forth.
