Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a dart game device interworking with at least one external device. The dart game device includes a dart target having a plurality of point regions, a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart, a light source unit configured to output light in a light pattern, a sound source unit configured to output sound in a sound pattern, and a communication unit configured to communicate with the external device and control the external device to output light in the light pattern or to output sound in the sound pattern. The light and sound patterns depend on an occurrence of an event.
Claims20
A dart game device for interworking with at least one external device, the dart game device comprising:
- a dart target having a plurality of point regions;
- a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart;
- a light source unit configured tooutput light in a light pattern, wherein the light pattern depends on an occurrence of an event;
- a sound source unit configured to output sound in a sound pattern, wherein the sound pattern depends on the occurrence of the event;
- and
- a communication unit configured to
- communicate with the external device, and
- control the external device, in response to the occurrence of the event, to output light in the light pattern, or to output sound in the sound pattern.
A gaming system, comprising a plurality of dart game devices interworking with each other, each of the dart game devices comprising:
- a dart target having a plurality of point regions;
- a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart;
- a light source unit configured to output light in a light pattern, wherein the light pattern depends on an occurrence of an event;
- a sound source unit configured to output sound in a sound pattern, wherein the sound pattern depends on the occurrence of the event;
- and
- a communication unit configured to
- communicate with at least one further dart game device among the plurality of dart game devices, and
- control the at least one further dart game device, in response to the occurrence of the event, to output light in the light pattern, or to output sound in the sound pattern.
A method of playing a dart game performed by a plurality of dart game devices, the method comprising:
- detecting, by one of the plurality of dart game devices, an occurrence of an event;
- reading, by the one of the plurality of dart game devices, a light pattern and a sound pattern, which are depend on the occurrence of the event;
- outputting, by the one of the plurality of dart game devices, light in a light pattern and sound in a sound pattern;
- communicating, by the one of the plurality of dart game devices, with at least one further dart game device among the plurality of dart game devices to output light in the light pattern and to output sound in the sound pattern;
- and
- outputting, by the at least one further dart game device among the plurality of dart game devices, light in the light pattern and sound in the sound pattern.
