Abstract
The present inventive concept relates to a system, and related methods, for facilitating practice of bowling, wherein the system comprises: a data storing device configured to store oil pattern data corresponding to a set of oil patterns for bowling lanes; a projecting arrangement configured to project graphics onto a bowling lane; and a processing unit configured to send, from the data storing device to the projecting arrangement, oil pattern data corresponding to one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns, whereby graphics representing the one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns is projected onto the bowling lane.
Claims15
A system for facilitating practice of bowling, wherein the system comprises:
- a data storing device configured to store oil pattern data corresponding to a set of oil patterns for bowling lanes;
- a projecting arrangement configured to project graphics onto a bowling lane;
- a processing unit configured to send, from the data storing device to the projecting arrangement, oil pattern data corresponding to one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns, whereby graphics representing the one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns is projected onto the bowling lane;
- and
- a tracking arrangement configured to track movement of a bowling ball on the bowling lane and to generate tracking data corresponding to a bowling ball trajectory,
- wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
- compare the tracking data to the oil pattern data;
- update the oil pattern data stored in the data storing device based on the comparison, the updated oil pattern data corresponding to an adjusted oil pattern;
- and
- send, from the data storing device to the projecting arrangement, the updated oil pattern data, whereby graphics representing the adjusted oil pattern is projected onto the bowling lane.

A system for facilitating practice of bowling, wherein the system comprises:
- a data storing device configured to store oil pattern data corresponding to a set of oil patterns for bowling lanes;
- a projecting arrangement configured to project graphics onto a bowling lane;
- a processing unit configured to send, from the data storing device to the projecting arrangement, oil pattern data corresponding to one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns, whereby graphics representing the one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns is projected onto the bowling lane, and
- a tracking arrangement configured to track movement of a first bowling ball on the bowling lane and to generate first tracking data corresponding to a bowling ball trajectory of the first bowling ball;
- wherein the processing unit is further configured to compare the first tracking data to the oil pattern data and to update the oil pattern data in the data storing device based on the comparison, the updated oil pattern data corresponding to a first adjusted oil pattern;
- wherein the tracking arrangement is further configured to track movement of a second bowling ball on the bowling lane and to generate second tracking data corresponding to a bowling ball trajectory of the second bowling ball;
- wherein the processing unit is further configured to compare the second tracking data to the updated oil pattern data and to further update the updated oil pattern in the data storing device based on the comparison, the further updated pattern data corresponding to a second adjusted oil pattern;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to send, from the data storing device to the projecting arrangement, the further updated oil pattern data, whereby graphics representing the second adjusted oil pattern is projected onto the bowling lane.

A system for facilitating practice of bowling, wherein the system comprises:
- a data storing device configured to store oil pattern data corresponding to a set of oil patterns for bowling lanes;
- a processing unit configured to cause oil pattern data corresponding to one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns to be displayed on a display of a mobile device in communication with the processing unit, the oil pattern data being displayed as graphics representing the one oil pattern of said set of oil patterns;
- and
- a tracking arrangement configured track movement of a bowling ball on the bowling lane and to generate tracking data corresponding to a bowling ball trajectory;
- wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
- compare the tracking data to the oil pattern data and to update the oil pattern data in the data storing device based on the comparison, the updated oil pattern data corresponding to an adjusted oil pattern;
- and
- cause the updated oil pattern data to be displayed as graphics representing the adjusted oil pattern on the display of the mobile device.
