Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a dart game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the dart game system 1 includes a server 10, a dart board device 20, a display 30, and a camera system 40. The server 10, the dart board device 20, the display 30, and the camera system 40 are connected via a communication network N. The communication network N is, for example, the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a telephone line, a corporate network, a mobile communication network, Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), other communication lines, or a combination thereof. It does not matter whether it is wired or wireless.

  In this embodiment, players can battle each other at remote locations. In the example of FIG. 1, only one dart board device 20, display 30, and camera system 40 is shown. However, in the case of playing against a remote player, the remote dart board device 20, display 30, and camera are used. The system 40 is also connected to the server 10 via the communication network N.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the server 10. The server 10 acquires information on the position where the dart hit by each player is hit from the dart board device 20, and manages the score for each player. The server 10 is a general-purpose computer and may be composed of a single computer or may be composed of a plurality of computers distributed on the communication network N.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server 10 includes a control device 11 and an external storage device 12. The control device 11 includes, as hardware, a CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, an input interface, an output interface, a communication interface, a bus connecting these, and the like. The control device 11 implements various functions when the CPU executes a program stored in a ROM or the like. The functional modules realized by the control device 11 include a hit position acquisition unit 111, a determination unit 112, an image display unit 113, and a score management unit 114.

  The external storage device 12 is a hard disk drive or the like, and has a game information storage unit 121 mounted thereon. The game information storage unit 121 stores information on the progress of the game, such as information on the score of each player participating in the dart game. The game information also includes information on the scores of players who compete at remote locations.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the configuration of the dart board device 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the dart board device 20 includes a housing unit 21 and a control unit 22. A circular target area 211 serving as a dart target is provided on the front surface of the housing portion 21, and a plurality of segments 212 divided in a radial direction and a circumferential direction are defined in the target area 211.

  The target area 211 is made of, for example, a resin material such as plastic, and a large number of holes are provided on the surface. A sensor such as a pressure sensor is provided on the back surface of the target area 211. When a player throws a dart toward the target area 211 and the tip of the dart pierces one of the holes, a physical displacement due to the piercing of the dart is detected by the sensor, and a detection signal that identifies the segment pierced by the sensor Is output to the control unit 22. Further, a more accurate target position in the segment area may be detected using a position detection sensor such as an optical sensor. In the case of the dart board device 20 in which the front surface hole and the back surface sensor are not provided in the target area 211, the position where the tip of the dart is stuck can be detected by a position detection sensor such as an optical sensor.

The control unit 22 implements various functions when the CPU executes a program stored in a ROM or the like. The control unit 22 calculates the position information of the target position of the dart based on the detection signal output from the sensor on the back surface of the target area 211 and transmits it to the server 10.

  As described above, the position information of the center position of the dart may be information for specifying the segment where the tip of the dart is stuck, or information for specifying the position where the tip of the dart is stuck more accurately. There may be. Further, when a hole is provided on the surface of the target area 211, the position of the hole where the dart is stuck or the position of the hole closest to the position where the tip of the dart is stuck may be specified.

  The display 30 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display installed in a place that is easily seen by players and spectators, such as above the dart board device 20, and displays an image related to the progress of the game supplied from the server 10. Specifically, the video when the player throws the dart is displayed in real time. Further, a CG (computer graphics) image that reproduces the moment when the dart is stabbed and a CG image of the target area 211 that is displayed so that the spectator can know the position where the dart was stabbed are also displayed.

  The camera system 40 is installed so that the player can shoot a video for throwing a dart. The camera system 40 transmits the captured video to the server 10.

  Next, the progress of the dart game by the dart game system 1 will be described. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, an example will be described in which a player A and a player B play a remote battle at different venues (first venue and second venue). That is, player A throws a dart board device 20A at the first venue, and player B throws a dart board device 20B at the second venue. Note that the process flow is the same when a battle is performed using the same dart board device 20 at the same venue.

(Coke judgment)
Before starting the actual battle, first perform a cork to decide the first and second. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of the flow of coke.
First, when the player A starts throwing his own dart A from the position (slow line) where the player A throws toward the dart board device 20A, the video that the player A throws is shot by the camera system 40A, and the server 10 in real time. (Step S101).

  The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the live video of the player A received from the camera system 40A on the displays 30A and 30B at both venues in real time (step S102).

  When the thrown dart A hits the target area 211, the position information of the target position of the dart A is transmitted from the dart board device 20A to the server 10 (step S103). The position information may be information for specifying a segment including the position where the dart A is stabbed, or information for specifying the position where the dart A is stabbed more accurately.

  The target position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 acquires position information of the target position of the dart A from the dart board device 20A (step S104). Next, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays a CG image indicating the target 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 a screen displayed on the displays 30A and 30B. As shown in the figure, a CG image representing the target area 211 of the dart board device 20 is displayed in the display area P1 at the center of the screen, and the video of the player A received from the camera system 40A is displayed in the display area P2 next to the CG image. The In the display area P1, for example, at the timing when the dart A thrown by the player A is stuck in the target area 211, a CG image reproducing the scene where the dart A is stuck in the target area 211 is displayed. A CG image with a dart inserted at the position is displayed. The CG image is displayed so that the position of the dart A can be clearly seen by adjusting the position and zoom of the virtual camera in accordance with the position of the dart A. In the display area P2, a real-time video of the player A is displayed from when the player A starts throwing until the dart A pierces the target area 211. After dart A stabs the target area 211 and produces a CG image of dart A in the display area P1, a still image of the player A who has finished throwing may be displayed in the display area P2.

  Next, when the player B starts throwing his own dart B toward the dart board device 20B, an image of the player B throwing is shot by the camera system 40B and transmitted to the server 10 in real time (step S106). .

  The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the live video of the player B received from the camera system 40B on the displays 30A and 30B at both venues in real time (step S107).

  When the thrown dart B hits the target area 211, the position information of the target position of the dart B (information specifying the segment including the position where the dart B is inserted, or the position where the dart B is inserted) Information) is transmitted from the dart board device 20B to the server 10 (step S108).

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

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a screen displayed on the displays 30A and 30B. As shown in the figure, a CG image representing the target area 211 of the dart board device 20 is displayed in the display area P1 in the center of the screen, and the player A received from the camera systems 40A and 40B is displayed in the display areas P2 and P3 on both sides. And the video of player B is displayed. In the display area P1, for example, at the timing when the dart B thrown by the player B is stuck in the target area 211, a CG image reproducing the scene where the dart B is stuck in the target area 211 is displayed. Images in which B is stuck at each target position are displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the position and zoom of the virtual camera are adjusted so that the target positions of the dart A and the dart B can be clearly seen in the CG image displayed in the display area P1. Specifically, adjust the position of the virtual camera so that the two darts do not overlap on the screen, and display the enlarged area of the dart so that you can clearly see the difference in the position of the tip of the dart To do. In the display area P2, as described above, the moving image of the player A is displayed from the start of the throwing of the player A until the dart is stabbed, and the still image of the player A is displayed after the throwing is completed. When the player A has finished throwing, the real-time video of the player B who has started throwing is displayed in the display area P3 instead. The dart B thrown by the player B hits the target area 211, and after producing the CG image in the display area P1, the still image of the player B is displayed in the display area P3. Note that the distance from the center of the target area 211 at the target position of each player may be displayed below the images of the players A and B.

  Next, the determination unit 112 of the server 10 hits a dart hitting a position closer to the center of the target area 211 based on the position information of the target positions of the darts A and B acquired from the dart board devices 20A and 20B, respectively. Is determined (step S111). Specifically, a dart having a shorter distance between the center C of the target area 211 and the position where the tip of the dart hits is determined. In addition, when the information which specifies the segment containing the position where the dart stabbed is acquired as position information, the dart hit the segment closer to the center C of the target area 211 is determined.

  The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays information on the player (winner) who cast the dart determined to be closer to the center of the target area 211 on the displays 30A and 30B (step S112). For example, the characters “WIN” may be displayed below the image of the winning player among the players displayed in the display areas P2 and P3 in FIG. In addition, it is possible to perform an effect such that the image of the winning player is bright and the image of the losing player is dark, or the winner's dart is lit in the display area P1. In the following games, the player who wins in Cork is the first player.

  If the first throw does not result in a win or loss of the coke (if it is determined to be a draw), both players throw again (throw back) and determine the win or loss. In the determination of the draw, for example, the determination unit 112 identifies the position of the hole in the target area 211 closest to the target position of each dart based on the position information of the target positions of the darts A and B, and is the same. If it is a hole, it may be determined as a draw. Further, when the difference (distance) between the target positions of the dart A and the dart B is within a predetermined numerical range, it may be determined as a draw. When it is determined to be a draw, instead of displaying the winner information on the displays 30A and 30B, for example, the characters “AGAIN” may be displayed. The rethrowing is performed in the same manner as the flow shown in FIG. The order of throwing of the first coke is determined by lottery such as coin toss, but in the re-throwing in the draw, the order of throwing is switched to the first. Similarly, the throwing order is changed and the throwing is repeated until the winning or losing of the cork is determined.

(Game progress)
If the first attack or the second attack is decided by cork, the main game will continue. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram of the game flow.
First, the first player (here, player A) throws his own dart A toward the dart board device 20A. The video that player A throws is captured by camera system 40A and transmitted to server 10 in real time (step S201).

  The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the live video of the player A received from the camera system 40A on the displays 30A and 30B at both venues in real time (step S202).

  When the thrown dart A hits the target area 211, position information on the target position of the dart A is transmitted from the dart board device 20A to the server 10 (step S203). The position information may be information specifying a segment including the position where the dart A is stabbed, or information specifying the position where the dart A is stabbed.

  The target position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 acquires position information of the target position of the dart A from the dart board device 20A (step S204). Next, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 causes the displays 30A and 30B to display a CG image that reproduces the state where the dart A is stuck in the dart board based on the acquired position information (step S205). For example, a CG image in which a dart is stuck at the center position of the dart A is displayed following a CG image in which a scene where the dart A is stuck in the target area 211 is reproduced.

  Next, the following player (here, player B) throws his own dart B toward the dart board device 20B. The video that player B throws is shot by the camera system 40B and transmitted to the server 10 in real time (step S206).

  The image display unit 113 of the server 10 displays the live video of the player B received from the camera system 40B on the displays 30A and 30B at both venues in real time (step S207).

  When the thrown dart B hits the target area 211, the position information of the target position of the dart B is transmitted from the dart board device 20B to the server 10 (step S208). The position information may be information specifying a segment including the position where the dart B is stabbed, or information specifying the position where the dart B is stabbed.

  The target position acquisition unit 111 of the server 10 acquires position information of the target position of the dart B from the dart board device 20B (step S209). Next, the image display unit 113 of the server 10 causes the displays 30A and 30B to display a CG image that reproduces the state where the dart B is stuck in the dart board based on the acquired position information (step S210). For example, a CG image in which a dart is stuck at the center position of the dart B is displayed following the CG image in which the scene where the dart B is stuck in the target area 211 is reproduced.

  The score management unit 114 of the server 10 updates and manages the total score for each player based on the score obtained by each player by one throw (step S211). Specifically, the score management unit 114 can update the total score for each player according to the score assigned to the hit segment based on the position information of the hit position of each player's dart.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the cork that determines the first and second game, the server 10 acquires information on the position of the dart hit by each player, which is closer to the center of the dart board. Judgment was made. Thereby, even when there is not much difference in the position of each player's dart, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine the outcome of the coke by automatic determination. In addition, spectators who cannot see the dartboard up close, and players and spectators who are in remote areas can immediately know the success or failure of Coke.

  Also, in the main game of coke and games, based on the acquired position information of the darts thrown by each player, a CG image showing the position where each dart hit the target on the dart board is displayed on the display 30. , Players and spectators in all the venues can immediately know where the darts are right and the outcome of the win / loss. Moreover, since the position where the dart was stuck can be confirmed quickly and accurately by the CG image, it is possible to realize a sense of reality that a battle is being performed in front of the eyes.

  In addition, since the position and zoom of the virtual camera when playing back the CG image are adjusted so that the position of each player's dart hit can be seen well, You can quickly and accurately know difficult outcomes.

  In addition, the position information of the target position of the dart transmitted from the dart board device 20 to the server 10 is set to the correct position where the dart is stuck, so that even if there is not much difference in the target position of the dart, You can judge whether you win or lose. In addition, an accurate CG image at the center of the dart can be reproduced.

  Further, the position information of the target position of the dart transmitted from the dart board device 20 to the server 10 may be information specifying the segment including the position where the dart is stuck. By receiving the information of the hit segment, the server 10 can calculate the player's score by a simple process.

  In addition, the server 10 receives only the information about the target position of the dart, not the image of the dart board with the dart taken by the camera, and indicates the position where the dart hit the target based on the received information. Since the CG image is generated, the CG image can be generated accurately and quickly with a small amount of data. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of data transmission / reception and the efficiency of image display processing.

Moreover, the CG image displayed on the display 30 in the main game of coke or a game can enhance a sense of reality by adding the following effects.
For example, a sensor capable of speed detection such as a Doppler sensor is installed, the speed of the dart thrown by the player is measured, and the way of jumping the dart in the CG image is produced based on the actually measured speed. May be. Specifically, for example, if the measured speed is faster than a predetermined value, an image is generated so that the dart flies straight toward the dart board and hits the target, while the measured speed is a predetermined value. If it is slower than the value, an image may be generated so that the dart flies in a mountainous orbit toward the dart board and hits.

  Further, an effect using an effect may be added. For example, when hitting a high-scoring segment, an effect that a dart emits light may be given. Further, the dart design of each player may be registered in advance, and when reproducing with a CG image, the dart may be displayed based on the registered design.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a CG image based on the dart hit position information can be downloaded to the portable terminal or personal computer possessed by each player via the communication network N. Thereby, the player can confirm the result of the past battle with the CG image in an easy-to-understand manner.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order as long as the processing contents do not contradict each other, or can be executed in parallel. Moreover, you may add another step between each process step. In addition, a step described as one step may be executed by being divided into a plurality of steps, or what is described by being divided into a plurality of steps can be grasped as one step.
