For example, the control unit 190 can select a virtual player having the same playing ability as the player based on the ranking information of the authenticated player. Further, the control unit 190 can select a virtual player capable of canceling the difference in the actual skill of each player based on the information of the player for each team.

2 and the above description of the external appearance of the dart game apparatus 100 are merely given as examples for explanation, the dart game apparatus 100 according to the present invention is limited by the appearance shown in Fig. 2 It is not.

3 is a conceptual diagram of a game network including a dart game apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the dart game apparatus 100 used by the first game player P1 is connected to one or more servers (a media server (MS), a relay server (RS), a dart game server GS).

A plurality of dart game players can enjoy the dart game in the same space at the same time using the same first dart game device 100. [ However, when the first dart game player P1 and the second dart game player P2 located at a remote location are to participate in the dart game, the second dart game device 100 may be used to connect one or more servers Game server 100 can communicate with the first dart game device 100 by connecting with the first server 100 (e.g., the media server MS, the relay server RS, and the dart game server GS). The first dart game device 100 and the second dart game device transmit and receive information via one or more servers (a media server (MS), a relay server (RS), a dart game server (GS) Information can be directly transmitted and received between the devices.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the dart game device may provide a dart game mode including at least one player playing at a remote place via a communication unit.

The dart game may be performed in a different place at which two dart game players P1 and P2 play at the same time, or two dart game players P1 and P2 may play at different places at different times, (DB) in order to decide whether to win or lose.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, information related to a virtual player can be stored in the DB server. Such information may include rating information (ranking and level) of a virtual player, dart game play video information, virtual player's propensity information, profile information of a virtual player, and accuracy information of a virtual player. The above description is only an example, and information necessary for implementing a virtual player can be stored in the DB server. The propensity information of a virtual player may mean a play mode of a player who plays a dart game such as "lack of backrest "," weak to tension ". The "lack of backcountry" may mean that a virtual player's hit rate is high in the early part of the game but low in the second half. "Weak to tension" may mean a case where the accuracy rate of a hypothetical player is lowered at the moment of tension such as a reverse chance. The aforementioned virtual player's tendency information is merely an example, and may include a game play method in which a dart game player can be seen.

The media server MS can store the dart game play videos of the dart game players P1 and P2 stored by using the camera or microphone stored in the dart game devices. The media server (MS) can be included in the DB server (DB).

A relay server (RS) connects communication between a plurality of dart game devices. The relay server RS may form a communication network between a plurality of dart game devices located at a remote location to form a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.

The game server GS exchanges information between the dart game devices (the score acquired by each game player and the information for communicating with each game player) or transmits advantage or warning based on the game rule through each dart game device Or transmit / receive information necessary for proceeding to other dart games and control the dart game devices. The dart game server GS can collect the winning / losing of the dart game, the score of each dart game player, and the like and transmit it to the DB server. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the dart game server GS can select a virtual player to make a team with a player.

The DB server can store personal information of each dart game player, win / loss and ranking information of the game, score information of each game, or a replay movie by game. The DB server can store the information by each user. The DB server can assign a unique code to each user and manage user-specific information using the unique code. The unique code can be stored in an RFID module (an RFID module or an RFID module stored in a mobile terminal) owned by each user. Accordingly, the game apparatuses can identify each game player through the included user recognition unit 170. [0064] The DB server may also assign unique codes for identification to each of the dart game devices and manage the dart game data for each of the identification codes assigned to the dart game devices.

The game player can access the web server WS by using the mobile device 300 (including the mobile device, the cellular phone, the PDA, the PDP, or the like with the built-in mobile communication function) or the PC 400. The web server WS may be connected to the mobile devices 300 and 400 using the Internet or an intranet. In addition, the web server WS may be connected to the dart game devices. The web server WS is connected to a DB server (DB), and can provide the dart game data stored in the DB server to the dart game player.

Hereinafter, the rules of a typical dart game and the stats of the players related thereto will be described.

A dart game that can be performed by the dart game apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a 01 game (zero circle game), a cricket game, a count-up game, .

01 game is played by alternating between two teams (or two players), drawing a dart on a dart target in a round. One round includes three dart draws. The objective of the game is to have the sum of points in each round reach the target score (a score of 100 or 1000 units, typically ending in 01, such as 301, 501, 701, 901, 1101, or 1501). The target score and play round may be arbitrarily adjustable depending on the number of participating players.

The cricket game, like the 01 game, will perform a round by throwing three darts in the first round. In the case of a STANDARD cricket game, it can be done using only the fire area in the center of the dart target and the 20, 19, 18, 17, 16 and 15 point areas. If you mark the cricket number 3, it will be marked with your position. If you hit more than 4 marks, the score corresponding to the number will be added to compete the score. Here, the double area and the triple area of the dart target can be calculated as 2 marks and 3 marks, respectively. If the opponent of the player also marks the cricket number 3 while the cricket number is marked with his or her position, the cricket number is considered to be closed, and the score may not be added any more. The object of the game may be to obtain a high score until the end of the stipulation round, or to close all of the cricket numbers and achieve a higher score than the opponent.

A count-up game is a game that will win if you earn high points within a given round.

In addition to the above-mentioned games, various types of games can be played by the dart game device 100, and the play mode of the dart game device 100 is not limited by the game method described above.

The player's stat can be defined according to the game rule independently of the count-up game, the cricket game, and the win or loss of the 01 game.

For example, Points Per Dart (PPD) can be calculated in a 01 game by dividing the total score the player scored by the number of dart draws.

Alternatively, the Marks Per Round (MPR) may be calculated by calculating the number of marks marked by the player per round. For example, in a cricket game, if a player makes three dart throws in one round and hits 15 triple, 19 single, and 20 double fire respectively in three dart throws, the MPR is (3 + 1 + 2 ) / 1 = 6.00 (MPR).

In the following round, if the player makes three dart draws, mark fail, 18 double and 20 hit respectively, MPR will be (3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 2+ 1) / 2 = 4.5 (MPR) .

These PPD and MPR can be stored as personal data of the player as stats of the player or the player. Alternatively, the average score of the player per game in the count-up game, the record of the player's highest score per game, and the like can also be stored as the player's stat.

The dart game device 100 can play the dart game and transfer the game record per player to the game server GS or the DB server DB in accordance with the mode. The game server GS or the DB server DB may calculate the player-specific PPD and / or MPR according to the game record and store it as a cumulative PPD and / or MPR stat of the player. In addition, the game server GS or the DB server DB can individually store the game record of the player. For example, in a 01 game, a count-up game, or a cricket game in which the player has played before, the player can record information about the segment portion of the dart hit on each dart draw. The game server GS or the DB server DB may store such player's cumulative (average) PPD and / or MPR data, top PPD and / or MPR data.

The game server GS or the DB server DB may be two physically separated servers. Alternatively, the game server GS and the DB server DB are one physically integrated server, and may be classified according to roles performed in the server. Also, as described above, one server can perform both roles of a game server GS and a DB server DB.

The game server GS or the DB server DB may store the player's individual stats and may give the player a rating (or rating) according to the stats.

Figure 4 illustrates a dart target associated with an embodiment of the present invention.

The dart target 110 may include a plurality of score areas. 4, in a plurality of score areas, a double bull 410 and a single bull 420 are concentrically arranged according to the distance from the center of the dart target, A small single unit 430 adjacent to it and a triple ring 440 adjacent to it and a large single unit 450 adjacent to the triple ring 440, And a double ring 460 adjacent to the outer edge 470 and an outer area 470 at the edge.

Hereinafter, a dart game device providing a team dart game competition mode according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

The control unit 190 of the dart game apparatus can provide a dart game competition mode between a plurality of teams each composed of at least one player. The dart game competition mode may be a dart game mode in which at least one of the players includes a virtual player. In addition, each team may include at least one virtual player.

A virtual player can mean a player controlled through AI (artificial intelligence). The accuracy rate of a virtual player with respect to a dart target may be different depending on the level, random, or different depending on the situation of the virtual player and / or the virtual player's predetermined play propensity.

For example, assume that a virtual player has to fit a triple ring of 15 points. In this case, the accuracy of the virtual player can be made concentric around the triple ring of 15 points. In the case of a high level virtual player, the probability of fitting the triple ring of 15 points is high, and the probability of fitting the adjacent score area can be drastically lowered as the distance from the triple ring of 15 points is increased. However, in the case of a low-level virtual player, the probability of hit is low as compared to a virtual player with a high probability of meeting a 15-point triple ring, and as the distance from the 15-point triple ring increases, the probability of hit decreases slightly. Thus, in the case of a low level virtual player, the probability of hitting a triple of 15 points may be lower than a high level virtual player. In this case, the dart game device 100 can correct the level difference of the real dart game player, thereby providing a more exciting dart game mode. The above description is only an example, and various methods of setting the accuracy rate according to the level of the virtual player may be included.

In addition, for example, a virtual player may randomly match the score area of the dart target 110. [ In this case, the team will play the team dart game mode by chance, so that the user can play more excitingly.

In addition, the virtual player may differ depending on the progress of the game and / or the predetermined play propensity of the virtual player. For example, the skill of a virtual player is determined by the current situation of the team including the virtual player, the predetermined tendency of the virtual player, the skill of the real player included in the same team as the virtual player, , The skill of one or more virtual players included on the other side of the virtual player, or combinations thereof.

More specifically, let's assume that if you hit 17 triple rings in a 01 game, you win. In this case, a hypothetical player who has a tendency to "weak in tension" tends to be tense at a crucial point where a single throw will result in a win or loss, so the accuracy rate of 17 triple rings can decline sharply. In addition, a virtual player with a "lack of backcountry" may have a higher hit rate at the beginning of Daejeon Darts game, and a lower hit rate at the later stage. The situation and tendency as described above are merely illustrative, and in order to make the dart game player feel more realistic, the accuracy rate of the virtual player depends on the accuracy of the actual dart game player's situation and / As shown in FIG. In this case, the dart game device 100 can provide a more realistic virtual teammate to the player in the dart game competition mode, and the dart game player can play the competitive dart game mode more realistically.

In the team dart game competition mode, the control unit 190 can sum up the scores obtained by the players of each team for each team, and compare the team scores to determine win and lose. Also. If the 01 game mode is selected, the control unit 190 determines whether each team member achieves the goal of the 01 game by each team, and compares the numbers of the team members who achieved the goal of the 01 game for each team to determine win and lose . The control unit 190 may compare the sum of the scores obtained by the team members according to each game mode for each team or determine the win and loss by comparing the number of team members who have achieved the goal of the specific game mode for each team. In addition, the control unit 190 can determine win and lose by comparing whether or not the score obtained by adding the score of each player to each team first reaches a specific score. The above description is merely an example, and an appropriate game method capable of distinguishing win and loss can be included for each team.
