The camera system 40 is provided in such a manner that an image of a player's dart throw can be captured. The camera system 40 sends the captured images to the server 10.

Next, the dart game in the dart game system 1 will be described. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, a case where player A and player B compete remotely in different arena (the first arena and the second arena) is described as an example. That is, player A throws the dart target device 20A on the first field, and player B throws the dart target device 20B on the second field. In addition, when the same dart target device 20 is used for a battle in the same arena, the processing flow is the same.

(Judgment by dart) Before starting the actual battle, first perform the dart to determine the first attack and then the offensive. Fig. 5 is a sequence diagram of the flow of the dart. First, when player A starts to throw his own dart A from the position (throwing line) toward the dart target device 20A, the camera system 40A captures the image of player A's throw and sends it to the server 10 immediately (step S101).

The image display section 113 of the server 10 causes the live image of the player A received from the camera system 40A to be displayed on the displays 30A and 30B of the two stadiums in real time (step S102).

If the thrown dart A hits the target area 211, the position information of the hit position of the dart A is transmitted from the dart target device 20A to the server 10 (step S103). The position information may be information specifying a segment including the position penetrated by the dart A, or it may be information specifying the position penetrated by the dart A more accurately.

The shooting position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 obtains the position information of the shooting position of the dart A from the dart target device 20A (step S104). Next, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the CG images indicating the shooting position of the dart A on the displays 30A and 30B based on the acquired position information (step S105).

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating screens displayed on the displays 30A and 30B. As shown in the figure, a CG image representing a target area 211 of the dart target device 20 is displayed in a display area P1 in the center of the screen, and an image of the player A received from the camera system 40A is displayed in a display area P2 next to the CG image. In the display area P1, for example, when the dart A thrown by the player A penetrates the target area 211, a CG image that reproduces the scene in which the dart A penetrates the target area 211 is displayed, and then displayed on the shot of the dart A CG image of dart thrown at the middle position. The CG image adjusts the position or zoom of the virtual camera according to the position shot by dart A, and is displayed so that the position shot by dart A can be clearly seen. In the display area P2, since the player A starts to throw until the dart A penetrates the target area 211, an instant dynamic image of the player A is displayed. In the display area P2, after the dart A has penetrated the target area 211 and the CG image of the dart A has been displayed in the display area P1, a still image of the player A who has finished throwing can also be displayed.

Secondly, when player B starts to throw his own dart B toward the dart target device 20B, the camera system 40B captures the image of player B's throw and sends it to the server 10 in real time (step S106).

The image display section 113 of the server 10 causes the live image of the player B received from the camera system 40B to be displayed on the displays 30A and 30B of the two stadiums in real time (step S107).

If the thrown dart B hits the target area 211, the position information of the hit position of the dart B (specification of the information including the section containing the position penetrated by the dart B, or the specified stab of the dart B The information of the entered position is transmitted from the dart target device 20B to the server 10 (step S108).

The shooting position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 obtains the position information of the shooting position of the dart B from the dart target device 20B (step S109). Next, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the CG images indicating the shooting positions of the dart A and the dart B on the displays 30A and 30B based on the acquired position information (step S110).

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating screens displayed on the displays 30A and 30B. As shown in the figure, the CG image representing the target area 211 of the dart target device 20 is displayed in the display area P1 in the center of the screen, and the player A and the player received from the camera systems 40A and 40B are displayed on the display areas P2 and P3 on both sides. The image of B. In the display area P1, for example, when the dart B thrown by the player B penetrates the target area 211, a CG image showing the scene where the dart B penetrates the target area 211 is displayed, and then the dart A and the dart are displayed. Images of darts A and B are pierced at the respective positions of B.

As shown in FIG. 7, the CG image displayed on the display area P1 is used to adjust the position or zoom of the virtual camera so that the respective shooting positions of the dart A and the dart B can be clearly seen. Specifically, the position of the virtual camera is adjusted so that the two darts do not overlap on the screen, and the area shot by the dart is enlarged and displayed so that the position difference of the front end of the dart is clearly known. In the display area P2, as described above with reference to FIG. 6, a dynamic image of the player A is displayed from the time when the player A starts to throw to the dart penetration, and a static image of the player A is displayed after the end of the throw. When the player A's throwing is finished, the real-time moving image of the player B who starts the throwing is displayed in the display area P3. After the dart B thrown by the player B hits the target area 211 and the CG image has been displayed in the display area P1, a static image of the player B is displayed in the display area P3. Furthermore, the distance between the shooting position of each player and the center of the target area 211 can be displayed below the images of players A and B.

Next, the determination unit 112 of the server 10 determines the darts that are shot closer to the center of the target area 211 based on the position information of the darts A and the darts B that were acquired from the dart target devices 20A and 20B, respectively. (Step S111). Specifically, a dart with a shorter distance from the center of the target area 211 to the position hit by the front end of the dart is determined. Furthermore, when acquiring information that specifically includes a segment containing the position where the dart is pierced as position information, it is determined that the dart is shot in a segment closer to the center of the target area 211.

The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays information of the player (winner) who throws the dart judged to be closer to the center of the target area 211 on the displays 30A and 30B (step S112). For example, the text "WIN (victory)" may be displayed below the image of the winner among the players displayed on the display areas P2 and P3 in FIG. 7. In addition, the image of the winning player may be displayed brighter, the image of the losing player may be displayed darker, or the display of the winner's dart may be displayed in the display area P1. In subsequent games, the player who wins the dart will strike first.

In the case where the victory over the dart is not determined by the first throw (when it is determined as a draw), the two players throw again (rethrow) to determine the victory. As for the determination of the tie, for example, the determination unit 112 specifies the position of the hole in the target area 211 closest to the shooting position of each dart based on the position information of the shooting positions of dart A and dart B, and both In the case of the same hole, it can be judged as a draw. Moreover, when the difference (distance) between the shooting positions of the dart A and the dart B is within a specific numerical range, it can be determined as a draw. When a tie is determined, for example, the text "AGAIN (again)" may be displayed instead of the winner's information on the displays 30A and 30B. In the case of re-throwing, the same process as shown in FIG. 5 is performed. In addition, the order of throwing the first dart is determined by drawing lots, such as tossing a coin. However, in the re-rolling in a tie, the order of throwing can be changed with the first. Afterwards, the order of throwing is reversed and throwing is repeated until the victory over the dart is determined.

(Proceeding of the game) After deciding to attack first and then attack by darts, the game begins. Figure 8 is a sequence diagram of the game flow. First, the first-attack player (here, player A) makes a throw of his own dart A toward the dart target device 20A. The image thrown by player A will be captured by the camera system 40A and sent to the server 10 in real time (step S201).

The image display section 113 of the server 10 causes the live image of the player A received from the camera system 40A to be displayed on the displays 30A and 30B of the two playing fields in real time (step S202).

If the thrown dart A hits the target area 211, the position information of the hit position of the dart A is sent from the dart target device 20A to the server 10 (step S203). The position information may be information specifying a segment including the position penetrated by dart A, or information specific to the location penetrated by dart A.

The shooting position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 obtains the position information of the shooting position of the dart A from the dart target device 20A (step S204). Next, based on the acquired position information, the image display section 113 of the server 10 displays the CG images that reproduce the situation where the dart A penetrates the dart target on the displays 30A and 30B (step S205). For example, after the CG image of the scene in which the dart A penetrates into the target area 211 is reproduced, the CG image in which the dart A is penetrated at the shooting position of the dart A is displayed.

Secondly, the player who casts the ball (here, player B) toward the target device 20B to throw his own dart B. The image of the player B throwing will be captured by the camera system 40B and sent to the server 10 in real time (step S206).

The image display section 113 of the server 10 causes the live image of the player B received from the camera system 40B to be displayed on the displays 30A and 30B of the two stadiums in real time (step S207).

If the thrown dart B hits the target area 211, the position information of the hit position of the dart B is sent from the dart target device 20B to the server 10 (step S208). The position information may be information of a specific section including a position penetrated by the dart B, and may also be information of a specific location penetrated by the dart B.

The shooting position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 obtains the position information of the shooting position of the dart B from the dart target device 20B (step S209). Next, based on the acquired position information, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the CG images that reproduce the situation where the dart B penetrates the dart target on the displays 30A and 30B (step S210). For example, after the CG image of the scene where the dart B penetrates the target area 211 is reproduced, the CG image of the dart thrown at the shooting position of the dart B is displayed.

The score management unit 114 of the server 10 updates and manages the total score of each player based on the score obtained by each player by one throw (step S211). Specifically, the score management unit 114 may update the total score of each player based on the position information of the dart shooting position of each player and the score assigned to the shot section.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in determining the ratio of first attack and later attack of the game, the server 10 obtains information on the position of the dart thrown by each player and determines which one is closer to the center of the dart target. With this, even when there is not much difference in the position of the dart throw by each player, the victory or defeat of the dart can be quickly and accurately determined by automatic determination. In addition, a spectator who cannot observe the dart target at a close distance, or a player or spectator who is far away can immediately know the victory or defeat of the dart.

Furthermore, in the official battle of darts or games, based on the obtained position information of the darts thrown by each player, a CG image showing the position shot by each dart on the dart target is displayed on the display 30, so all Players or spectators in the arena can immediately know the position of the dart and the outcome of the victory. In addition, the CG image can quickly and accurately confirm the position where the dart is pierced. Therefore, it is possible to realize a sense of presence like a battle in front of the eyes.

In addition, the position or zoom of the virtual camera when the CG image is played can be adjusted so that the position of the dart hit by each player can be clearly seen, so that the position of the dart hit by each player can be quickly and accurately known. , Or a difficult outcome.

In addition, the position information of the dart shooting position sent from the dart target device 20 to the server 10 is set to the accurate position penetrated by the dart, so that there is not much difference between the dart shooting positions of each player. In this case, you can also accurately determine the outcome. In addition, accurate CG images of the shooting position of the dart can be reproduced.

In addition, the position information of the dart shooting position sent from the dart target device 20 to the server 10 may be set as information specifying a segment including the position penetrated by the dart. By receiving the information on the sectors being shot, the server 10 can calculate the player's score by simple processing.

In addition, the server 10 does not receive an image of a dart target in a state where the dart is shot by the camera, but receives only position information of the position where the dart was shot, and generates a dart shot based on the received information. The CG image at the middle position can accurately and quickly generate a CG image with a small amount of data. Therefore, efficiency of data transmission and reception and efficiency of image display processing can be achieved.

In addition, the CG image displayed on the display 30 in the game of darts or games can further enhance the sense of presence by adding a display as described below. For example, a sensor capable of speed detection, such as a Doppler sensor, may be provided to measure the speed of the dart thrown by the player, and display the dart's flying shot in the CG image based on the actually measured speed. the way. Specifically, for example, when the measured speed is faster than a specific value, an image may be generated by throwing a dart straight toward the dart target and hitting it. On the other hand, based on the measured When the speed is slower than a specific value, an image is generated by throwing a dart in a parabolic trajectory and hitting a dart target.

It is also possible to add a display using special effects. For example, when shooting a high-scoring section, it is also possible to display a dart light. In addition, the dart design of each player may be registered in advance, and when reproduced using a CG image, the dart is displayed based on the registered design.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the CG image based on the position information of the position where the dart was hit can be downloaded to the mobile terminal or personal computer held by each player via the communication network N. In this way, players can use CG images to easily and clearly confirm the results of historical battles.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, all aspects of the above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to be interpreted in a limited manner. For example, the above processing steps may be arbitrarily changed in order or executed in parallel within a range that does not cause conflicts in processing contents. Further, other steps may be added between the above-mentioned processing steps. Further, a step described as one step may be divided into a plurality of steps and executed, or a person divided into a plurality of steps and described may be understood as one step.
