Best Mode of the Invention

The specific structure, features, and functions of the electronic game dart machine according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The working principle of the present invention: When a player throws a dart onto a dart board, the single chip computer scans the dart's landing point on the dart board through a soft keyboard, and when the dart is thrown When you reach the dart board, the contact on the back of the dart board presses the corresponding keyboard soft switch-. The switch that is pressed is different depending on the landing point. The single chip microcomputer U ₂ which specializes in processing the dart key value reads the keyboard soft switch U ^ by scanning, obtains the dart key value after filtering and calculation, and places the data and the data effective identifier in the interface circuit U ₂ —. in. Because a single chip microcomputer is used to scan and process the soft switches, special processing can be performed or multiple switch states can be buffered using the single chip microcomputer memory for judging the current collision between the dart and an existing dart on the dart board.

The gaming machine movement U ₃ passes the interface circuit U ₂ _. The data valid identifier in the judgment determines whether there is a dart key value, and resets the data valid identifier. If the interface circuit U ₂ —. Before the data valid identifier is reset, a new key value signal is generated, then the key value will be queued in the storage area in the single-chip microcomputer that specializes in processing the dart key value, until the interface circuit U ₂ _. The data valid identifier in the reset is reset, and the key value first entered into the memory area of the microcontroller U ₂ is removed and sent to the interface circuit U ₂ —. , Set the data valid flag again. The design of this interface circuit facilitates the complete exchange of data between the game machine core 11 ₃ and the single-chip microcomputer 11 ₂ to avoid data loss. The game machine movement is a low-cost 8-bit game machine using audio and video processing and output functions for game machines and learning machines. As a result of adopting this technology, the present invention has multi-sound audio output and color video output, which can be played and displayed on an ordinary television.

Game rules, graphics, sound data, music data, and programs are stored in ROM (U ₁₅ ), and temporary data and current status are stored in RAM (U ₁₄ ). The program includes criteria and processing procedures for processing different rules. It can process the current convenient landing point data according to the selected rules, and perform calculations and judgments. The calculation results are displayed on the TV through audio and video. At the same time, it can turn on and off different prompt lights to remind the player which area on the dartboard.

If the dart does not hit the dartboard, but hits the case, the single chip microcomputer cannot detect the change of the soft switch, but the vibration sensor installed on the case can detect this signal, so it can be judged that the current dart is "Empty Dart". Automatic empty dart recognition is very important for the dart game, especially for beginners and certain game rules that require the edge of the dart board to be hit.

When a player finishes three darts, walks to the front of the present invention, and removes the dart inserted on the dartboard by hand, the infrared wave emitted by the infrared emitting device installed at the lower part of the panel of the present invention is irradiated on the game. The person's body is reflected to the infrared receiving device installed next to the infrared transmitting device. After the player leaves the dart machine, when the next player is ready to start dart, the infrared receiver cannot detect the infrared wave. Through this process, the present invention can automatically determine the completion of the dart picking action and automatically prepare the next player for dart or the next round of dart (single player game).

The button of the present invention is mounted on the front panel of the cabinet. Before the game starts, it is mainly used to select game rules and subsidiary rules and set the number of players. After the game starts, one of the buttons is used to end a player ’s round of darts, the next player or the next round of darts is started, and the remaining buttons do not work.

The coin acceptor is mainly used when the present invention is used in a business place. When the player puts coins that meet the requirements into the slot. In game machine movement U ₃ will detect a valid signal and add one to the current currency value. The value of the currency is checked at the start of the game. If the value of the currency selected according to the rules selected by the selected number of people is not enough, you will be prompted to continue to insert coins. Subtract accordingly.

The network interface ₁₁₉ is an interface for data transfer between the unit and the PC. The PC can be issued through the interface to the gaming machine movement ₁₁₃ command to query the current state of the game and the process of the device, modify the settings of the device. The network interface complies with the ISO-11898 standard.

Industrial applicability

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and positive effects. It can be known from the above technical solutions that, when the player throws a dart beyond a certain distance, the present invention detects the falling point of the dart, and calculates it according to the selected rule. The calculation result is output by the television with an image and sound prompt. At the same time, Make the necessary reminders through the reminder lights. The invention overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional dart sport, saves boring records by automatic scoring and rule processing, and provides multiple prompts for pictures, text, and sound effects to increase entertainment, and uses single-chip technology to enrich the types of dart games. Business operations have created conditions.

To sum up, the present invention can fully recycle the waste heat of waste hot water, save energy, have high economic benefits, and have a compact structure, convenient processing, and easy cleaning. Compared with the existing heat exchanger, There are major improvements in function or function, and great progress in technology, which has produced useful and practical effects, and indeed has enhanced effects, so it is more suitable for practical use, and is a novel and progressive , Practical new design.
