Benefits of technology

[0015]The advantage of the present invention is that each of the electronic hardwares can be individually and independently mounted onto the electronic dartboard via the electronic device and the body that has a wireless communication interface by means of wireless transmission of the information and the set parameters, so that the electronic hardware can be protected and the flow of dart competition is smooth. Furthermore, in accordance with the present invention, the body can be connected to the electronic device with a wireless communication interface in dart competition activities, wherein the display region and the setting region of the dart body can be selectively omitted, which could greatly reduce the cost of damages of the board body. At the same time, the weight of the board body is reduced, allowing it to be portable and convenient to use.
[0016]The detailed technology and preferred embodiments implemented for the subject invention are described in the following paragraphs accompanying the appended drawings for people skilled in this field to well appreciate the features of the claimed invention.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the display modules, operation modules or the electronic hardwares are mounted on the dartboard, the user may accidently hit the hardware components with the dart, which may damage the dartboard.
As a result, the inconvenience can disrupt the flow of a dart throwing competition.

first embodiment

[0025]Particularly, in the first embodiment, the sensing module 131 and the body processing module 133 are mounted on the rear of the body 11, and the body processing module 133 electrically connects to the sensing module 131. Thus, when a dart 113 is thrown onto the board-surface 111, the sensing module 131 generates a pressure signal (not shown) in accordance with the pressure caused by the dart 113 being thrown onto the board-surface 111. After that, the body processing module 133 determines the location of the dart 113 according to the pressure signal generated by the sensing module 131, and generates a location signal 110.

[0026]The body processing module 133 actively and continuously detects the sensing module 131 whether or not a pressure signal is generated. Once a pressure signal is detected, the location of the dart 113 can be determined and generates a location signal. It should be noted that the sensing module 131 can be mounted, in a plate-like manner, on the rear of the...

second embodiment

[0032]Specifically, in the second embodiment, the first image capturing module 135 and the second image capturing module 137 are electrically connected to the body processing module 133. Thus, when a dart 113 is thrown to the board-surface 111, the image capturing module 135 captures the first image 1350 of the board-surface 111 at a first angle 1352 in response to the change of the image of the board-surface 111. The second image capturing module 137 captures a second image 1370 of the board-surface 111 at a second angle 1372 in response to the change of the image of the board-surface 111. Then, after the body processing module 133 receives the first image 1350 and the second image 1370, the body processing module 133 analyses the image changes of the board-surface 111 and generates a location signal 110. Similarly, the body processing module 133 actively and continuously determines whether an image is produced by the first image capturing module 135 and the second image capturing ...

Abstract

An electronic device for a dartboard structure is disclosed. The dartboard structure comprises a body with a board-surface, a sensing module, a body processing module and a first wireless communication interface. The electronic device comprises a second wireless communication interface, a central processing module and a display module. The sensing module is configured to generate a sensing signal according to the location of at least one dart being thrown to the body. The body processing module converts the sensing signal to a position signal. The location signal is transmitted from the first wireless communication interface to the second wireless communication interface of the electronic device. The central processing module of the electronic device calculates a score according to the location signal so that the display module of the electronic device can display the score.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to China Patent Application No. 200920268037.7 filed on Nov. 6, 2009, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]1. Field of the Invention[0004]The present invention relates to an improved dartboard structure and an electronic device for the improved dartboard structure. More specifically, the present invention relates to an electronic device, which has wireless communication interfaces, for an improved dartboard structure.[0005]2. Descriptions of the Related Art[0006]Dartboard competitions are played globally and have become popular due to its simple game rules and low entry requirements. The winner of the game is determined by the number of points that correspond to the area where the darts hit the board.[0007]Following the popularity of the dartboard competitions, many types of dartboards have been developed, wit...
